Thai Cave Rescue (2022)
Touching but Thai conversions are unnatural
I watched the news about this event and thought they had died. I was glad when the team was found and rescued. People from everywhere came to help them. So the actual event is a touching story by itself.
This TV series tells the story excellently since I didn't feel bored. Every actor/actress looks professional. I genuinely believe they are government officers, soldiers, divers, etc.
I guess the script was written in English and later translated into Thai. Some Thai conversations sound unnatural. Perhaps they are as strange as my English. The talks are grammatical. However, they aren't what Thai people say. An officer mentioned Fung (burying), but most Thai people, except Abramic believers, don't bury their relative's bodies. So the officer supposes to say a perform (religious) ritual instead. Another example is that one mentioned Duem-Pun-Chi-Wid (bet his life), which is a literal translation of the idiom that came straight from Google Translate. If I didn't speak, I'd rate this series 9/10.
