A Fallen Star
Things I appreciated:
1/ GMM always has a great budget behind their projects lately, and they also have good directors and staff in their company. As such, the drama's production value was good. The cinematography was very good, the background music was nicely placed and didn't feel overbearing, the editing of the scenes that were shown was done well as well.
2/ Win Metawin is a wonderful actor. His ability to act out emotional scenes was really impressive.
3/ Apart from him, most of the other actors such as Toptap, Gun (Gus), Mike, Khaotung, etc — also did a very good job at playing their roles.
Things I didn't like:
1/ Yes, Bright may be a very handsome individual and just watching him on the screen with the light just falling on his brown hair giving off a halo might just take everyone's breath away — but I can still not ignore the fact that he didn't do as well of a convincing job playing a man in love with Tine.
I think that Bright can do dark or grey roles very well. But playing a cute romantic role is still not something he has mastered, and then add his pair being a man.
He just couldn't do it well for me. He seemed like the weak link and had a choice of 2-3 expressions in his face all the time.
2/ Sarawat and Tine seemed more bromance than Chinese pairs in actual dramas tagged bromance like "Advance Bravely" and "The Untamed" — even though they smacked lips twice. Chemistry? Nowhere to be found if looked with open eyes. Level 100 delulu required.
Moreover, in the end, Wat made the mistake, then wrote a song that portrayed him as the victim, sang it in front of a large audience — again, making himself the victim — then pretended to act as if he was the hurt one and Tine was the heartless one. Sis. That was not fair.
3/ Man and Type were the only couple that was the highlight of this show. Even though they didn't even kiss once, their love and affections were more convincing than Sarawat and Tine whose chemistry was almost nonexistent.
4/ Mil and Kong should not have ended up together. Kong was just a second choice for Mil, and no one should be an option. Once again GMM has done FrankDrake major dirty.
5/ The drama seemed to deserve the hype for the first 1/3 of the drama. Then it just dropped down in quality (plot-wise and chemistry wise) and stared to feel underwhelming and overhyped.
6/ Also, while I enjoy some of Scrubb songs. I got tired of listening to Scrubbs entire discography by the end of this show.
That is all. If you enjoyed it, I am happy for you. For me, though, this is average. And overhyped.
I gave it a 7/10 even though the review thing suggests I give it a 7.5 for ManType.
