The story revolves around two siblings, Chut (Sunny Sưanmethanon) and Jane (Yaya Urassaya). Jane is the model “perfect” person, excelling in everything from a young age, always in the spotlight while her older brother, Chut, lives a life full of failures and bad habits. Their personalities and lifestyles are vastly different, leading to constant clashes. Jane constantly complains about her brother’s behavior, while Chut enjoys disrupting her relationships. Things worsen when Jane returns to Thailand after studying in Japan for four years, gets a job in a Japanese company, and starts dating Moji (Nichkhun). This leads to a series of challenges from her “troublesome” older brother, impacting both her professional and personal life.

Nakee 2 - The Serpent Goddess 2 (2018) presents an almost self-contained narrative about the romance between an upright police officer, Pongprab (Nadech Kugimiya), and a village girl, Sroi (Yaya Urassaya), who dedicates her youth to guarding the Nakee Goddess temple. The villagers believe Sroi is the incarnation of the serpent goddess, returning to seek vengeance, with strange deaths marking her ominous return.

The acting of Nadech and Yaya is beyond debate. With nearly ten years of experience and several collaborations on-screen, their pairing in this film is far from challenging. Unfortunately, the script doesn't allow for much interaction between the duo, which may disappoint their fans.

Yaya portrays a headstrong, simple village girl with depth in emotionally charged scenes, captivating audiences with her haunting gaze. Nadech’s character, though less prominent, still shines through, showcasing his convincing acting as a confident, even arrogant young man on a psychological journey.

The film's pace is slow, heavily leaning toward detective elements.
