Review
Let’s address the elephant in the room: the forced romance between Ajin and Fa. Frankly, it feels about as natural as a fish riding a bicycle. Their chemistry fizzles faster than a wet firecracker amidst the heart-pounding thrills and chills of the main plot. So, those smoochy scenes? They could’ve hit the cutting room floor without anyone batting an eyelash.
But fear not, dear viewers, for the main storyline is where the real magic happens. From the get-go, you’ll find yourself ensnared in the tantalizing web of mysteries woven throughout the school. Ajin’s shady demeanor adds an extra layer of intrigue, culminating in the revelation of his dark magic prowess. Sure, the main plot feels a tad rushed at times, with Fa mastering spells faster than you can say “abracadabra.” But hey, her quick thinking and Ajin’s enigmatic charm help keep things afloat, not to mention the quirky supporting cast, like the ever-mysterious Yiwha.
Speaking of Yiwha, can we please talk about her bangs? They’re practically begging for a trim to reveal those mesmerizing eyes! But enough about hairdos—the props and set design in this series are off the charts. From Yiwha’s bangs to Namsine’s eerie glass mask and Ajin’s hauntingly gray eyes, every detail is meticulously crafted to draw you deeper into the supernatural world.
And let’s not forget the deeper themes at play here. At its core, “Enigma The Series” delves into the perils of parental pressure, as witnessed through Namsine’s heartbreaking struggle to meet her mother’s impossibly high standards. It’s a poignant reminder of the importance of nurturing, not pressuring, our loved ones.
In conclusion, “Enigma The Series” from GMMTV is a rollercoaster of thrills, spills, and a dash of dark magic. Sure, there are a few loose ends left dangling that may be explored and continued in Enigma season 2. Especially how Bright Vachirawit with his damaged and eerie face and Namtan Tipnaree appear at the end of the episode with a new mystery. Are they the Enigma?
But, isn’t that all part of the fun? So, grab your popcorn, settle in, and prepare to unlock the mysteries of “Enigma The Series” on Prime Video—your supernatural adventure awaits!
