In recent decades, the proliferation of social networks has allowed the emergence of problems such as post-truth or distortion of reality in the creation of content. The lack of legitimacy of traditional media has given way to a collective thought that prefers to believe in content shared on networks by a family member or friend, rather than that which has been verified and contrasted.
This situation gives rise to a public opinion formed based on untrue information, giving rise to hyperreality. This favors fake news, as there is no proper selection, verification and construction of information.
Since becoming a public figure, FueangNakhon (Job Krisz Ahandrik), the protagonist of the Thai BL series 'City of Stars', has mastered the pressure from journalists and the persecution of his fans. Being a well-known face has not been easy for him. If you ever thought that being recognized on the streets would be a dream, reality proved you wrong. The pressure of always having the press watching his every move is exhausting. The emergence of his followers on social networks doesn't help either. After the latest “scandal” in which you have been involved, how to proceed on your social media profiles? Is it appropriate to take a season off to “detox”? Would it be preferable to abandon social networks permanently?
His “mistake” was to register and publish on “Zendaya” a first message that said: "let's transmit positive energy to each other." Due to the condition that each publication contains only positive content, the platform, whose offices are located in Silicon Valley, California, is not popular among Thai users. However, the message from the self-proclaimed “Thailand's most popular villain” will provoke an avalanche of attacks from Internet users in the Asian country. In response, Zendaya's managers intend to "monitor" FueangNakhon.
Who better to fulfill this task than Krommatha (Porsche Sitha Kanchana-alongkorn), Zendaya's only Thai programmer. Shouldn't he take his vacation in Thailand? Wouldn't he then be the right one to keep a close eye on “provocateurs” like FueangNakhon? How to protect the digital application from villains like this, if not by acting energetically so that situations like this are not repeated?
Who would have thought that Krommatha wouldn't have to work hard to track down the cause of the chaos, as he would take a seat at the same table occupied by Zendaya's programmer upon her arrival at the Bangkok airport? Who would think that the villain is called son by Krommatha's mother? Does Krommatha wish to pursue the “infamous” one or rest with his parents? What will happen between the two boys when they start dating?

Meh

Honestly I have mixed feelings about this one. It’s not my favorite bl this year but it’s also not the worst. Seemingly it is a rom com and I do find myself cracking up a bit so you will get some giggles here and there.
There are some ridiculous scenes naturally but like I said it’s not the worst.
I haven’t seen kimmon since 2Moons so I’m glad to him again.
There are a ridiculous number of added sound effects but other than that it’s alright.
Watch it without any expectations and you’ll have no problem.

I had so little hope when i decided to watch the ep1. I thought it was going to be soo bad, but it turned out to be actually pretty ok.


* Yes they did add unnecessary stock sounds like dog barking, baby crying, Falling SFX. (Like i have never see a bl thats add this much weird stock sounds lol).

*The story is pretty chill and easy going.


*The main leads aren't delulu. No straight to gay bullshit. And one of the guys actually has a crush on the other so it's not just accidental feelings.

* It does show the struggles of being a celebrity, but they could really improve that.

*The English wasn't cringe at all (I don't know why people think the English cringe it's really not, It's really not).

*Other than that there is really nothing else to say about this. It just a regular cozy~comfy bl. So if you really have nothing else to watch this is the show for you. Why my Rewatch Value is so low is because, there's really not anything memorable about this show. So there's no point of rewatching this.

La dulzura es su mayor potencial

¿Tiene el mejor argumento? No. ¿Tiene las mejores actuaciones? Tampoco. La historia es bastante básica y las actuaciones, acordes al nivel de desarrollo de personajes que se ofrece.

Sin embargo, la potencialidad de la obra es la dulzura con la que los personajes interactúan. Fueang y Krom tienen una relación preciosa, en la que la comunicación es un pilar fundamental. Y esto es más una estrategia de guion que algo que derive de la propia relación, ya que tienden a esconderse cosas hasta que, generalmente, otros personajes las revelan. Pero como todo lo que hacen parte del amor y de la bondad, no puede haber reacción negativa.

Me sorprendió que me vi sobrepasade por la cantidad de escenas de cama y me salté algunas. Creo que es la primera vez que me pasa.

Quiero ver más de Job y Porsche.

PS1: ¿Alguien me podría explicar la necesidad que tienen Fueang y Kodit de tener sus casas llenas de sesiones de fotos propias?
PS2: No me puede gustar más Job. Guapo, con una energía de golden retriever y una voz adorable. Un nuevo crush.
