"Our Mamuang from Korea" – Summary and review.

"Our Mamuang from Korea" is a story that focuses on a group of people in a town who are met with a lost foreigner (Mingyu). Three of the towns people do not like the foreigner, who they nicknamed Mamuang (mango in Thai) due to his liking to mango, and actively bad mouth him.

From making him do chores to framing him for trying to steal from a temple, nothing is too much for the three. While the monk, his novice and the policeman try to convince them that they're wrong, they're hard stuck on the fact that Mamuang is there to sabotage them.

At the end, it's found out that Mamuang is actually called Mingyu, an idol from Korea who got lost in Thailand after travelling. They look back at their actions, and are ashamed and embarrassed.

This drama greatly teaches the value to not judge others or assume the worst, which i believe is one of the main ideas behind the drama. Yod, Atom and Sua represent the people who judge others, while the Monk, his novice and the policeman represent having an open mind to accept others.

All in all, the drama was decent. The acting was pretty alright, the settings looked nice and there was lighthearted humor as well. There wasn't really any music, besides the background ones, but it didn't really bother me personally. It doesn't really have all of rewatch value story wise, but it's short and enjoyable, and not a waste of time.

I decided to review this since the other reviews are GOT7 centered (which isn't a problem ofc!), so I decided to do my own take of it. I was familiar with the whole cast of this drama, besides to background characters ofcourse, so I will section my review for both GOT7 and the Thai actors,

GOT7 ; As someone who used to be a fan of the group, this was quite enjoyable to watch. Bambam speaking his native language was something I probably enjoyed the most in this series, since i'm honestly surprised by how seldom he speaks Thai! I also really liked how they portrayed Mark, also a foreigner, but accepted in the friend group by his approach to Jinyoung and the gang, and JY just being a total asshole honestly. Though only Jinyoung really is an 'actor', Mark and Bambam didn't disappoint with their acting skills; Especially Bambam's "insecure" acting.

THAI ; For who knows a bit about Thai pop culture, you probably know that James and Tor used to be in a boygroup together, with 7 other actors (i miss 9x9 ugh). As someone who was and still is a big fan of the group and the members in it, I was really happy seeing them collaborate with some of the members in GOT7. Though I don't really know Bank all that well, I do see him on Instagram alot, and he looks like an angel. Those three playing the 'good bad guys', to name it like that, was the perfect choice, since they're also the sweetest kids in real life. Especially Tor did great, which is not a surprise since it's, well, Tor. If you don't know any Thai actors, you can definitely check them out!

In general, I like the topic they choose, all around bullying; and though it's essentially just an ad for lenses, they still made something about a big issue all over the world. They didn't make fun of the issue, and actually portrayed what it can be like as a foreigner. If you want to watch something short, but with a deeper meaning, I really do recommend this drama special!

When i saw Kwangsoo in an ice hockey uniform i flipped. Ofcourse, him being one of my favourite (Korean) actors, i had to watch it, especially because it was so short.
The length of the drama could have been a few episodes longer, so the story line could be worked out better in my opinion.

I liked the scenes with Kwangsoo and the ice hockey team, and i also liked that there was something else then ice hockey all the time (the money taking part), but i think they kind of rushed through it.
Before you knew it, everyone was friends, and i though they could show that a little bit more if they added more episodes.

I didn't like the ending, because i didn't know what was going to happen to the real ice hockey player in the hospital, you didn't know what was going to happen to the girl Junman liked, and you didn't know if Junman was going to keep playing in the team, and what happened to their "manager".

Besides from those three points, i think the drama was good. The cast was great, and i liked the songs they played in it.
If i would rewatch it, i'm not sure.. But it's definitely worth watching once atleast!
