Dao Kon La Duang (2021)

Lacked Romance, Still a Decent Action Lakorn

If you’re into mafia, crimes, investigation, action genres, this lakorn is highly recommended. I would have given this a higher rating, because the cast, production, plot, OSTs were incredible. However, this lakorn lacked romance as it mainly focused on the missions of Irawan (the police unit) to capture the villains and end the illegal activities/crimes.

For a person like me who watches dramas for romance and chemistry between the leads, the romance part of the plot was lacking in so many ways. Regardless, I still enjoyed this drama from the beginning. Here are some pros and cons if you are planning to give this a go!

Pros:
• POP THAGOON (Get ready to fan girl over our handsome Wasan! His character is the star of this show. He is one of the reasons why I continued to watch each and every episode. I don’t know about others, but for me, he is the male lead in my heart)
• Great production (Especially the action scenes! These were intense)
• Storyline is pretty solid with plot twists, so if you’re going to watch it, get ready for the guessing game to find whose good and whose bad!

Cons:
• Lack of romance
• The ending (If you’re TeamWasan like me, you will hate the ending)

Honestly, I feel that this lakorn would have higher ratings if it focused a bit more on Wasan and Ika’s love story aside from the main plot. Even with the slightest amount of scenes we’ve got from them, I still felt their chemistry so much more than the “main leads,” Nat and Lan.

Anyways, I hope you all give this one a try because it is a great watch. At the least, you will definitely enjoy watching Pop Thagoon!

Last but not least, thanks NekoMeowMeow for the English subtitles!

What's not to like about Great? *SPOILERS*

This lakorn overall is like every action and police procedural drama. And it reminds me why I don't watch dramas that purely focus on action and the police. But Great, Pop, and Phet did really good in their acting. Phet's charitable and generous exterior masked his psychotic-ness which he clearly, had grudges. His acting is really underrated. Pop is always a good actor in any drama that he acts. I felt really bad when San tried to propose to Ran. And Great, he conveys his authority and yet his calmness really well.

The plot was meh and already predictable in the first episode. *Spoilers* I already knew Pop was going to die when he "redeemed" himself and with the story of how his mother died, I figured. The plot twist to this was of course Ran's eye and how Nat gave her his eye. Was it necessary to even have that whole situation? Honestly no. That part could've been deleted out and it would still be okay. But it does show how much Nat loves Ran. That he would do EVERYTHING for her. Literally. It was sad that during the last fight with Sunai, we are shown to see how Nat gave his eye to Ran and literally lied to her about it. But I really do love how Great plays these roles where he strongly expresses his love to the leading lady. He's so passionate whenever he does so. It also really shows that Nat would choose Ran over everything, including his career. San and Supika's relationship was lacking and I really couldn't tell when San had feelings for her (until his dad pointed it out).
