Bad script and story

The pacing of this show is really bad. Whole episodes go by without anything really happening.
And when something does happen, often they're just going through the same problems over and over.
There are also 2 or 3 places in which the story and the behavior of the characters stopped making any sense. To the point near the end where a "surprise" felt so out of place that it felt insulting to the audience.
The neverending songs and flashbacks were mostly unnecessary.
Besides that, the acting of the main actors was good, as it usually is.
The quality of the sound recording and editing was often lacking, as it usually is.

Awful sound

The story is quite good and the acting is adequate.
The transition between cuts could certainty have been done better, and in the first episodes you feel there are too many superfluous fighting scenes.
However, the really bad part and the reason that compelled me to write this review is how bad the sound is in this show. It's pretty common in Thai series for the audio to feel like it's the thing they cared the least for, but this show is a whole different level of bad.
When watching it on the TV I literally had to sit with the remote in my hand to change the volume from second to second. The music is very loud, but the voices are often really quiet. Sometimes they're inaudible. This changes from person to person in the same scene, and even from shot to shot of the same person. It makes you wonder if they recorded the audio from 20m away using a potato instead of a microphone. When there's music at the same time somebody's talking, the music is always much louder than the voices. I really wonder how can the production of a show get such a good picture quality but let the audio be so mediocre.
