On paper this should've been a show I really got into, especially with how much love it's been getting from fans online, but somehow it just didn't click for me. The first four or five episodes had me so lost that I started checking out mentally, and honestly it never really recovered from that for me. There were definitely bits here and there that I enjoyed, but as a whole it just felt like too much was happening at once and I kept losing my grip on what I was watching. Doesn't help either that this is a twelve episode series where each episode runs somewhere between seventy and ninety minutes in its uncut version, that's a lot to sit through and process. Nakhun's a twenty year old college student living in Bangkok who doesn't buy into superstition at all, but his twentieth birthday turns into a disaster anyway, everything that can go wrong does, he even gets mistaken for a thief at one point.

Now this was a lousy excuse to make a movie. This movie was just torture. It was sooo slow and draggish. Even otherwise, there was not much of a stiry in the first place in this film. It was very odd. It could have been a good 10 minute short film but nothing more than that.Ray, a thin, very tall and handsome young man returns to live with his father after having grown up with grandfather. He is angry and disconnected over his father's life because he never lived with him and he blames him for sending him to his grandfather. The dad has an employee Bo who works very closely for him. Ray enrolls in art school where he makes a new friends and starts a relationship with a another student. One morning, Dad discovers the two young men naked in bed and, after being surprised, must begin to understand his own feelings toward homosexuality. Then Ray meets Bo and sparks fly. They both get in a relationship. When the father finds out, he sacks Bo from his job leaving Ray behind all alone.
This movie had so many passe moments. There were scenes which would go on forever. Like 3 people eating at dinner, they are just eating and nothing else, Ray and Bo playing chess, Ray and his father playing chess, those scenes dont go anywhere, then Ray and Bo exercising and talking all about it. I mean why would you wanna have such scenes that too that just doesn't seem to end and go for on and on. It was never clear why is Ray mad at his father. What is it that the father is going through? Specially the end where the father goes and lies next to Ray. That was a very odd way to end the film.
Completely avoidable. Not worth anything. (1/10)
