I Wanna Be Sup'Tar (2015)

I originally started watching the drama because of the male lead, but I fell in love with the heroine. A lot of people criticize Gypso for over acting, but it fit her role as this dramatic character who dreams of becoming a superstar. She was quirky and fun and I loved her. Push was fantastically attractive and cute, but his character was a little too serious for me to love. It made me blush, scream and cry like a good drama should. It had it'a slow moments, but overall it was great. I totally recommend it. Also if you have a Push thing check out ugly duckling perfect match, his character in that was to die for!

i think this is the first drama i've watched that was front loaded. usually rom coms of this length get draggy toward the end and you find yourself skipping to get to the resolution. this show starts out slow. really slow, like skip the 1st 6 eps slow. its not just the pacing every character seems super irritating in the 1st 6 eps. but once it gets into the story it;s engaging even if it's nothing new.

the main leads are great, so much so that the 2nd leads just annoyed me. Why were we spending screen time on them when we could have been watching Win and Wan Neung? Their chemistry was amazing. Wan Wan is a truely diabolical villian, even if he is a caricarture and very static. there are some really great supporting actors who did fantastic things with poorly written roles. Lukpit and Tom were really no more than the animal side kicks from a Disney movie, there to show us how we should feel and make us laugh a bit. the actors brought a lot to their respective roles even if the characters did tend to disappear for long stretches only reappearing to make story telling easier.

the only song that sticks out is what i think is the OTP's theme, it's song by a woman and it's lovely with just enough pep to make it stick in your head in a good way.


i will totally rewatch this. maybe tomorrow. it's one of only a handful of thai dramas i've watched and i hear it's actually quite a bit different than your standard Lakorn. if Thailand keeps making such delightful rom coms i will definitely watch.
