Review on Lip Gloss Spy Thai Drama
I wasn’t expecting any suspense or mystery from Sai Lub Lip Gloss. It is very obvious from the start who the good and bad guys are. No surprises that —SPOILER ALERT!!!— Madam G is the mastermind and that Dr Ekkachai is the cat’s paw. Madam G’s clashes with Prakan makes it obvious she is part of the drug trafficking network. You need a scientist to come up with the formula for drugs and Dr Ekkachai is the only scientist in this lakorn. Even the introduction of Senachai at the end felt very random and it was clear he was introduced to be one of the main bad guys. Instead, I was more interested in the back story of what brought Madam G and Senachai together to run this drug trafficking network, which the script writers did a good job to explain (never mind the other plot holes).

Gross Plot Holes in Lip Gloss Spy Thai Drama
HOW HOW HOW can a hospital be the place to test LSD drugs on patients?🤦♀️The thought of it is just SO ABSURB. Granted that this isn’t Singapore but even so, if anything, shouldn’t hospitals be subjected to more stringent checks from the government?🤯 Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic? And why would anyone work/continue working in the hospital if they suspect something is wrong with the handling of patients?🤦♀️
WHY WHY WHY would Madam G distribute drugs using her very own G Cosmetics which she is the CEO of?🤦♀️ It is obvious that people are buying G Cosmetics products not for the cosmetics but something else – as evident when a drug addict tried to rob a random girl for her cosmetics. This is just inviting G Cosmetics to be scrutinized by the police force (and media) – and in this lakorn Madam G is not an idiot.🤯
WHAT WHAT WHAT was Pheung and Phop thinking when they decided to enter the lion’s den aka drug factory WITHOUT INFORMING OR BEING ACCOMPANIED BY ANY POLICEMEN??🤯 Granted – they’re eager for a scoop. But anyone with a brain will know that the premises will be well-protected and that they wouldn’t stand a chance to escape alive thereafter. The only reason why Pheung and Phop survived was the drama couldn’t let these protagonist die and so the bad guys didn’t stupidly kill them once they were captured.🤦♀️
That said, Lip Gloss Spy is still a chillax drama worth watching just to get practice on Thai language listening. Enjoy watching na ka~
