My Love From Another Star (2019)

This story was almost faithfully reproduced. The environment of the apartments was really well made, looking almost the same as the original (Korean), so I have to highlight this haha.

The overall acting was pretty good, specially de FL and her loathsome behaviour and the others support actors.

I'm a fan of Kugimiya's and his acting, but for some reason (for me at least) he doesn't fit for this role, as if something is missing or like he isn't "mysterious" enough. I don't know how to explain clearly.

The "special" shots at the end of each episode were a funny surprise, don't miss then.

Overall, was very close to the original.

A competent remake

This remake was quite well done. The budget was clearly high because the set was reproduced very accurately (the two lead's apartments) and wardrobe was also good.

The success of this remake is due to the fact that they remained true to the original story, despite the lengthy supporting cast's scenes. The story was faithfully reproduced.

The acting is great especially the two main leads. Hats off to Matt and Nadech they were captivating; in my personal opinion the female lead's performance had a slight edge over the male lead, she was comical and poignant and straddled the two expertly. Nadech gave a great performance but I just found his expressions one dimensional, he lacked nuance especially when expressing pain and the anguish of finding Falada when his departure is imminent.

The supporting cast brought in the Thai flavour.

The music was not great, the background music was typical loud, overdone and insistent, the one ballad was tolerable.

Overall I enjoyed watching it, but if I ever rewatch this story it will be the Korean version.
