However, I couldn't be more thankful that I chose to watch the series nonetheless. Why watch Bad Genius the series? At first, I was very skeptical to watch the series mainly because I thought there was no way the original Lin and Bank could ever be replaced. This series is a must-watch! Actors are really great, Plearnpichaya Komalarajun (Lin) and Sawanya Paisarnpayak (Grace) really stood out.
I don't really know how to explain since I don't want to spoil the story. I was mad, but a part of me feels like I don't have the right to get mad. The intensity of this drama is on another level. There are many unexpected twists and turns which keeps me interested.
The characters were given more time to develop and it's not simply an exam cheating story it's a story about friendship, family, betrayal and many more. The series was able to expound on those elements which I really appreciate. The movie had a lot of elements which were jam-packed into the limited movie runtime. I personally think the series was able to give justice to the characters more compared to the movie. There are two main reasons why remakes fail either it's too simple or it told a completely different story.īad Genius (2020) was able to retell the story that we love without being redundant. Even better than the movie!! As a fan of the movie and BNK48, I was really excited for this remake (the lead actress is from a Thai idol group, BNK48).
