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.

* 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.

Un BL relativement bien travaillé
J'ai pris plaisir à le regarder et même, certains soirs, à être pressé de voir l'épisode suivant.Pourtant, j'aurais pu arrêter après le 4ᵉ épisode, qui était pour moi catastrophique.
La série concentre tout ce qui n'est pas à faire en un seul épisode rempli de lourdeur :
des scènes ou réflexions illogiques, des quiproquos grotesques et pénibles.
En fait, ce milieu de série m'a fait réagir surtout par rapport au personnage de Krom, qui passe pour un abruti au sourire niais.
Difficile à regarder, surtout qu'il nous apparaît au début comme un jeune homme sûr de lui et intelligent.
D'ailleurs, cela se remarque lors de quelques scènes que j'ai énormément appréciées, car il réagit avec beaucoup de réflexion, de gentillesse et de force.
C'est plutôt rare, ce qui fait que je l'apprécie d'autant plus.
Il retrouvera ce caractère par la suite, rendant encore plus incompréhensible ce choix de le rendre idiot, certainement pour jouer quelques épisodes plus « drôles ».
Mis à part ça, la série est plutôt bien rythmée, avec des personnages attachants et qui véhiculent des messages de respect et de tolérance.
Ils auraient pu survoler ou laisser de côté les problèmes rencontrés dans le monde des Idols, mais j'ai apprécié la manière dont ils ont traité le sujet jusqu'au bout, sans pour autant chercher à en faire trop ou à le minimiser.
La série respecte son scénario de base et est cohérente dans son ensemble.
On a des moments touchants, drôles, dramatiques pour de bonnes raisons (pas en forçant le scénario), et les acteurs interprètent bien leurs personnages.
Une bonne série qui sait traiter une histoire sans passer par les schémas stéréotypés classiques du genre.

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.
