House of stars, gays and perhaps murder..?

Let’s start of with some general information.
Set in a modern mansion run by a woman named Suzie, her company manages multiple actors trying to become number one idols. There is one main rule, interpersonal relationships between the actors is forbidden. The series drops you into the middle of the story as the actors gather for a meal in ‘the house’. Where we start learning the characters. The rookie actors Pitch and Zo. Mintra, a social climbing actress who co-stars with her boyfriend Korn. Alongside we have Gun, a quite popular actor who doesn’t really interact with anyone besides Pitch later on. Pawin, a fellow actor in the group who has a secret crush on Korn. Then we have Wayu, a young actor who hasn’t got a role yet due to his accent. And as last Wayha, who is an actor in the group offering support to Wayu.

There are a lot of characters to learn and it’s very hard in the beginning, as the story drops you right in the middle of everything, where you get little to no information with what is going on. Now I must admit that I went into this show with no idea what to expect. It has barely any reviews and isn’t really known that much + wasn’t fully aired yet. So when I watched the first two episodes I was very close to dropping it because I had no idea what was going on, who everyone was, what their deal is etc. But I am very glad I didn’t drop it, because with each episode, the story becomes more and more interesting. Characters get more depth, their intentions become more clear, which is very interesting to see since the cast has so many leads. I’m normally not interested in many leads but this show does a great job!

Please keep watching the show, especially if you have only watched the first episodes.
The story at the beginning is confusing and starts slow but it has a promising end. The actors are all somehow connected which is fun to see. Ep1 starts off with someone in a wheelchair but this becomes clear in ep7/8 so don’t worry about it being an unsolved mystery. Also some drama in ep1 at the dining table but it’s very confusing and barely relevant to plot so nvm that. All the other episodes just build up all the characters and relationships which clears up a lot of confusion. This goes on up till episode 9/10 when someone dies and they have to figure out who and why. This death is a mystery and even the watcher does not know who, what, why and how it all happened until the very very end of episode 12.
I will not say anything about the ending, because no one likes spoilers lmao. But the last episode started.. kinda boring? and I had small expectations. But DAMN the last 10 minutes left me stunned. (I have been waiting for my fav character to get his moment AND HE DID MASTERMIND. As actor he did amazing, somehow even gave me Light Yagami vibes?) I wonder if this drama will get a season 2 since the ending kinda left us with an.. open ending? I don’t know if this show will get enough attention for a sequel, but I hope they give us one because I’m obsessed!

Story: very interesting, I have not seen war of Y so imo its my first time seeing this type of story and am therefore very intrigued.
Acting/cast: cast is very diverse in looks so it should be easy to keep them apart. Acting is in some scenes kinda bad. You need to know that this show is about actors, so you also get to see them shoot fake scenes and do photoshoots etc. But sometimes in the normal acting scenes, it looks like they’re acting for the fake acting scenes. (I’m talking about you Pitch) But this is the actor’s first ever series so it’s okay. Pitch’s acting buddy Zo, which was also its actor first show, did on the other hand an amazingly good job! The other actors mainly did a good job too and most of them already have some what experience, so that makes up to those meh scenes. The sex scenes are btw amazing, most of the time not a big fan of that especially in Thai shows, but damn this show blew me away..
Music: ending music is good, haven’t really listened to the rest of the ost that much. The ost fitted in every scene I guess since I never really minded it. Wouldn’t say it’s very memorable tho but I’ve got this with a lot of shows.
Rewatch value: depends on your interests. Since the beginning is so confusing, I would rewatch it to be able to fully understand what’s happening from the beginning. Needless to say that I don’t really rewatch shows in general though (unless they are a literal cinematic masterpiece) so I cannot speak much about it. However if this gets a season 2, yes definitely worthy of a rewatch.
Overall: This series is insane WTH, I swear there must come a season 2 because it had me on chokehold till the end. I would definitely recommend watching this series! The last minutes of the last episode definitely upped my rating to a 9.

a Masterpiece

There’s only a few shows that made me feel this way before. That devastated and as if there’s a lump in your throat kind of feeling.
The moment I started this show, I knew this was gonna hit me deep. The literal intro with the waves made me already emotional. And even though the storyline isn’t that ‘unique’, it gives off a complete different vibe from what I’ve ever seen close to this.
The actors did a good job, I really didn’t notice any flaws in their acting. The actors and the characters they play match very well together and have insane chemistry. I literally didn’t notice any flaws in general and maybe that shows just how fully I’m into the show and for me that’s the most important part. Everything feels just so realistic and I can fully live inside their world, everything feels just so complete.
The soundtrack is literal the best. I feel connected to the characters through the music. It makes me understand everything on a deeper level and has had me in tears multiple times. I’ve replayed the last 10 minutes of the latest episode (ep6) again and again.
It might be a bit too early but in my eyes this series is so far, a masterpiece. I hope this series will get a proper and unforgettable ending. It’s not even fully aired and it has already gotten my heart, I’m captivated and will not let go anytime soon. So much love x <3

Edit:
I’m just gonna say it: this show is a masterpiece. From the literal intro, a few minutes in, till the end, it had me hooked!!
The story is mostly focused on the relationship between the main leads and doesn’t have a big plot, however I didn’t get bored, not even once. I have even already rewatched it.

About the beginning, in someone else’s eyes their relationship might’ve been pacing too quickly, however when I rewatched it, I saw how attracted they are to each other. It’s like gravity is pulling them towards each other. They actually managed to portray falling in love at first sight and slowly realizing that they’re falling, perfectly, it left me stunned. I’ve seen a lot of dramas and this is the first show to actually make it just perfect!

The chemistry between the two main leads is insane. As for their acting, they did amazing too. It was as if I was really there, as if I was the one feeling their emotions. I smiled when they smiled, was frustrated when they were too and cried when they cried (and cried when they didn’t cry). I wanna thank the screenwriters and director for making this show possible. All the other actors did a great job too. I wish to see more of them!!

Sad to say goodbye to this show, I wish I could go back to having to wait each week for the next episodes to come out. Hopefully we will get another gem soon <3
Ps: I would also recommend watching “Not Me” if you liked this show.
