Sawadee ka!
How many days did I skip posting a blog here? I am sorry for being inactive. I have been facing a problem here in our house, but never mind, I feel a little better now.
For today's blog, allow me to share with you what I watched last week. I started to watch this last August 29, and I finished it last Wednesday of this week.
I want to share with you a good drama series to watch. It’s not Korean-made, but this time it’s Thai. The last time I watched a Thai drama was during the Mario Maurer era. Can I be honest about why I don’t watch Thai movies and dramas nowadays? It’s because most of the dramas they air are BL and GL. I don’t hate the LGBTQ+ community, but I’m just not comfortable watching two boys and/or two girls doing the things that are usually done by a man and a woman.

The Thai drama I’m talking about is Enigma. I know I’m two years late because this series aired back in 2023. I honestly didn’t know there was a non-BL/GL Thai series like this at that time.
The genre of this series is a supernatural thriller, but it’s also categorized as a drama, which is why I decided to watch it. That’s also the reason I was shocked and a bit confused while watching, because it actually has some horror vibes in it.
Anyway, the cast is familiar to me. The male lead is Metawin Opas-iamkajorn also known as Win Metawin , I know him because of my best friend, who is addicted to watching BL series. I also know the female lead, which is Chanikarn Tangkabodee also known as Prim. (Oh! Erase! Erase! I didn't know her; I mistook her for Baifern because she looks exactly like her here.) 🙏🏻😭
Now let me share with you some of my random thoughts while watching this series. Let's go!
The first thing I noticed was their phone. Usually, actors and actresses in dramas use well-known or very popular gadgets like iPhones or Samsungs. But this? I wasn’t sure if it was a Xiaomi Redmi Note 13, an Infinix, or a Vivo, since those are the only phone brands with similar colors and designs.
I was amazed by the props. I don’t know if they bought them from a shop or if the director and staff were just really creative. I also admire the director for the uniqueness. It actually reminded me of my high school days when we also had to be creative in making props for our multimedia activities. Aside from writing scripts and editing videos, we also had to make props using cardboard, stones, used CDs, and so on.
Of course, shanreyo! Since it’s a television series that can be aired worldwide, they really need those things for the drama they’re producing.
I actually love the plot—like, seriously! You know what I mean? Charought! To be honest, I didn’t like Win Metawin before. I never really got the hype around him because I thought he was actually gay. But after watching him act, I was really amazed at how well he portrays every character he’s given. Now I understand that he’s not actually gay in real life; he just plays those roles as part of his work. I admire him for that, because it’s not easy to portray such a character if you’re straight in reality. I don’t know him personally, of course, but I see him as manly *(After i saw his abs 😂🙏🏻)*.
In this part of the series, the mask really gave me trauma. Like, damn! I couldn’t handle it. It wasn’t at all what I expected, since I usually manage to guess what happens next and even figure out who the real villain is in this kind of genre. But this time, I really didn’t see it coming—there was something I totally didn’t expect. That scene behind the mask is still stuck in my mind. My God!
This drama series is not the first one made in Thailand that I have watched. I actually watched a lot of Thai horror movies, and one of them is The Death Whisperer, which is what I actually remember here on this bamboo tree.
I said that I am not a fan of the GL series. But now, I finally get it! Dang, she's pretty and hot here in this part. I jaw-dropped while watching her like that. I really see some girls wearing eyeglasses much prettier because they have beauty behind those glasses. That’s why I’m now a fan of Prim. Aside from Baifern, she’s the second female lead whose beauty and acting skills I truly admire.
🤩🥰😩✨
According to Google, ‘Enigma’ means a person who does mysterious things, or something puzzling and difficult to understand. That’s why I get why I couldn’t understand much at the beginning of this series—it was actually quite difficult to follow at first. But that doesn’t mean you’d want to stop watching it. In fact, it makes you even more curious about what will happen next, so you keep going. Besides, this series only has 4 main episodes, but each one is divided into 4 parts (a total of 16 episodes), with a runtime of about 9–15 minutes each.
This Thai series is really worth watching! I truly admire the director for producing such a show. The magic, the props, the storyline, and the cast they chose—all of them were superb in their acting! Compared to some past Thai drama series I’ve seen, I can say they’ve really improved in both directing and acting
I rate this 10/10! Even though I’m two years late, I think it’s truly a masterpiece—one of those shows you can rewatch no matter how many years pass. Plus, there’s an ongoing season this year, but I’m not sure if I’ll watch it yet, since some viewers have said that Season 2 might be a bit disappointing. Hmm... Let's see. 🤔
