Ready, Set, Love

Is it riddled with plot holes, frustrating suspenseful moments where you scream "why are you just standing there?!??" for minutes at a time, and truly thought out world building? Yes. But the overarching story is refreshing. It doesn't rely on the 1,001 RomCom tropes that every storyline seems to have these days. The problem is the execution of that story leaves a lot of questions.

Despite that, it's a story worth watching. Just don't think about it too much. If you're looking for a feel good romantic comedy with a range of emotions sprinkled in, this is a decent one. You follow many subplots that give you multiple people to root for. I truly didn't know where it was going most of the time and that was part of the fun of it.

In short: Give it a shot. You might enjoy it.

I watched the whole thing in two evenings. Bright colorful and absolutely hilarious at times. The scenes were cut and directed beautifully almost like a choreographed dance level of getting the story and humor beats just right. However, the plot got kind of muddy, weak, and loses its fun whimsical quality at the last episode. It almost seemed like a completely different show with different characters. Also if plotholes bother you, this might not be the watch for you. There are a lot of things that are not explained that seem like a very obvious solutions. I don't mind because the story itself is so fun and doesn't take itself to seriously until the end. I also love the main character who (until the last episode) isn't just a tv quirky girl, but an actual hilarious mess. Loud, abrasive, has no manners, but still manages to make me root for them. If you love over the top, colorful camp, watch this show. You won't regret it.

It's hard to describe this wonderful gem from Yanyong Kuruangkura. It's part sci-fi dystopia but also romance drama but non of that without SpongeBob SquarePants humor. It's a wild ride but beautiful and amazing all together.

The best I could say is Hunger Games story but with happy ending, Squid Games cinematography and set design, Disney channel goofiness and 4th wall moments, SpongeBob sound effects, Singles Inferno format, and Stranger Things music magic.

Intriguing plot, inspired directing, masterful production, and captivating performances! If you love film and can handle some anime level camp this is for you!

RSL continues a hot streak of Thai shows that I thoroughly enjoyed. It doesn't try to be too much, and you know what you're getting from the very beginning - an underdog story set against corpo elitism with some dark dystopian undertones. Nothing fancy. All of it easy to see.

What never ceases to amaze me is how these Thai shows end up far more enjoyable than their Korean counterparts who have 10-20 times the budget. But look closer and it is easy to understand why. In Thai shows, people act in harmony with their personalities. Not always logically, but consistent with how they are portrayed and how their history/up-bringing makes them as adults. In Korean shows, the never-ending illogical behavior, overly dramatic and nonsensical posing, and the martyrdom has gotten incredibly old. Just look at my reviews of Doona, Record of Youth, Castaway Diva, Welcome to Sandal-ri, etc. To see examples of how NOT to formulate a love story. K Dramas are trying to hard to be artsy and chic, that they can't get out of their way. Even Gyeongsong Creature features ridiculous choices by the lead characters.

RSL has none of that. It is simple, stays on message, and delivers an emotional ride.

So, why not 10 stars? Why only 8? Because I took off 2 stars for the completely unnecessary and pointless post-credits scene. It, a) Ruins all the good "feels" the ending provided, and b) Is an obvious attempt to tease a 2nd season. Though, this fails because the way the show ends does not lend itself easily to another season. It would have to be a drastically different show for that to work. (Think Hunger Games dark.)

So, do yourself a favor, and stop watching right when the first credit starts to roll. You'll thank me later.

I was searching something to watch while I do my crochet, and this one make me stop doing that just for watch!! I think I'm going to end this night, I'm on last episode and I don't now what will happen, good or not, I'm excited to see it!! It's a really good drama and I think everyone should give a chance for the plot, like if isn't your type, it's okay, but this one is really good and the story it reveals along the drama give us a bit anxiety if it's everything going to be well or not!! And it's so funny too, so it's a perfect match 💖 my favorite thai drama from now!! And I loved the actors too, the really do their work well!!!
