Surprisingly adherent to the genre

You might think the "gruesome crime in a small town investigated by a person who has recently joined/rejoined the community" genre (ala Broadchurch, Top of the Lake, Trapped, etc.) would be too different from the typical Thai TV/BL genre for them to ever mix but this show has definitely proven otherwise. A unique aspect here is that our main character is the medical examiner who is trying to bring justice even when it appears the police are part of a cover up. And obviously the main character's love interest being a man who is implicated and has had an unclear relationship with the victim is a unique aspect as well. But the more explicit things that typify the genre like particularly gruesome crimes, drug use, child abuse, etc. aren't shied away from as much as you might expect (although I still wouldn't say it's the most mature show - there are still very much "Thai TV" moments, and the video-game like on-screen descriptions feel overdone). Overall for fans of small town crime thrillers this is a unique yet faithful take on the genre so far, let's only hope they stick the landing!
