Clumsy, talkative, and with curly hair... All that was missing were glasses and braces.
A 2000s-style humor, with actions we wouldn't normally take, and a clumsy protagonist who can't do anything right, very childish, talkative, and irritating to others (Obviously with curly hair, because in the 2000s girls with curly hair were silly, nerdy, virgins, invisible, and clumsy - I hate that 2000s stereotype, and it's sad to see it in this 2026 series). Clearly, this is a cliché heterosexual script from the 2000s, for those who like it: This series is a feast (I'm saying this for now, we're only at the beginning). I confess that the protagonist's funny personality is winning me over little by little.Let's stop romanticizing or finding humor in "undressing someone you don't know who is unconscious." It's not funny, it's uncomfortable and criminal. I felt uncomfortable for the person.
The ending felt rushed; throughout the series they didn't develop her dream, and then in the last episode that was all there was to it. They could have moved things forward to make the remaining episodes more relevant and interesting. As it was done, when it finally becomes interesting to see their development during filming, the series rushes, rushes, rushes to finish everything it had promised, and then it's over.
PS: DO NOT perform CPR on a person who has fainted! SERIOUSLY! CPR can only be performed when the person's heart has stopped, not when they have just fainted. Doing this on an unconscious person can be extremely dangerous! A firefighter taught me this...

So bad that it becomes frustrating
I have to admit I’m mostly finishing the series just for the sake of it, but I really didn’t like how the development of the main characters was handled. We don’t even really understand why they love each other.I do think there is some chemistry between them, but the characters are so poorly written and the plot makes so little sense that it becomes frustrating.
I don’t understand the point of adapting a heterosexual work if it’s just to keep the same tropes and the same types of characters in a GL version without any real thought behind it.
Wannueung is particularly hard to tolerate, and I rarely say that about female characters, but this is really too much.
As for the side characters, like Wannueung’s best friend or Win’s ex, they feel completely useless. They add nothing to the development of the story, and even their relationships are uninteresting.
Overall, the series is poorly made and not very entertaining.

I Wanna Be Sup’tar Review: A Fresh GL Concept That Falls Short of Its Potential
I Wanna Be Sup’tar offers a compelling premise, exploring the intersection of fame, fan culture, and private relationships within the Thai GL space. With a standout performance from Lilly and a scene-stealing dynamic between May and Meedee, the series delivers moments that genuinely engage.However, inconsistent pacing, uneven chemistry, and an unclear ending prevent it from fully delivering on its promise.

Strong Chemistry, Mediocre Drama, Rushed Side Stories
I was really excited going into I Wanna Be Sup’tar because I loved LillyBelle and their chemistry in Harmony Secret—and thankfully, this series did not disappoint.Wannueng and Win’s dynamic is easily the highlight. Their chemistry feels natural, and the rom-com tone suits them really well. It might come off as a bit corny to some people, but I personally really enjoyed it—especially watching Win slowly fall in love over time. I also really liked the music—it added a lot to the overall vibe of the show.
That said, the side characters felt more odd than anything else. Meedee seemed strangely attached, but we’re never really given enough background to understand her history with Wannueng, so it just feels confusing. May, on the other hand, comes off as straight-up toxic and honestly goes to extreme lengths just to get with Win—it ends up feeling over the top. I do like FayGene as a pairing and think they’re cute, but their storyline felt rushed—they go from being heartbroken in the same room to suddenly hooking up, which made the progression feel unearned.
The drama itself also felt very mediocre at times, with conflicts that were pretty avoidable, which made parts of the story frustrating to sit through.
One thing that really stood out in a negative way was the inclusion of a few non-consensual scenes, which was pretty concerning. I do appreciate that the production listened to feedback and removed one of the scenes, but that kind of issue shouldn’t have been there in the first place.
Overall, despite its flaws, I enjoyed the series for what it was. It’s fun and entertaining on a first watch, but not something I’d personally go back and rewatch. Still, the strong chemistry and rom-com vibe carry it enough for me to give it a solid 7.5/10.

Funniest Romantic Drama
It’s a chaotic mix of comedy, wholesome moments, and also strong, serious elements.It somehow finds its rhythm, evolving from a childish, cringey vibe into genuinely great comedy, with lovable leads who have strong chemistry.
Despite having a controversial plot point at one stage — presenting something closer to harassment as love — the series is overall very entertaining, with plenty of wholesome and satisfying moments.
While the plot sometimes relies on miscommunication and convenient writing choices, the story still develops into satisfying conclusions, and the character dynamics keep it engaging throughout.

Une romance douce… mais pas sans douleur
I Wanna Be a Sup’Tar est une série qui joue constamment avec les émotions de son spectateur. Elle propose une romance à la fois tendre, maladroite, sincère, mais aussi marquée par des malentendus frustrants et des choix émotionnels parfois brutaux. La relation entre Win et Wanneung est clairement le cœur du récit. Leur dynamique repose sur un contraste intéressant :Wanneung a besoin de mots, de validation et de sécurité, Win, elle, exprime son amour par des actes, souvent silencieux.
Ce décalage crée une tension constante qui peut frustrer… mais qui rend aussi leur relation profondément humaine.
L’un des éléments les plus marquants de la série reste le cactus, utilisé comme fil conducteur de la relation : fragile au début,
entretenu avec soin, puis finalement… en fleurs.
C’est un symbole simple, mais terriblement efficace, qui accompagne parfaitement l’évolution du couple.
Malgré ses qualités, la série souffre de quelques défauts :
- une communication parfois artificiellement retardée ;
- certains twists un peu forcés (notamment autour de la bague) ;
- une antagoniste efficace… mais presque trop caricaturale ;
- qui disparaît d'un coup ;
- Wanneung est insupportable au début ;
- la légèreté dans le traitement de la tentative de viol qui est clairement en trop.
Ces éléments empêchent la série de se hisser au rang des excellentes séries.
L’un des points forts inattendus est le personnage de May. D’abord perçue comme antagoniste, elle bénéficie d’un redemption arc réussi, devenant progressivement :
- plus lucide ;
- plus mature ;
- capable de lâcher prise ;
Sa relation avec Meedee, basée sur une dynamique chien-chat pleine de tension, apporte une énergie différente et très appréciable, bien que sous-exploitée à mon goût quand on voit la complicité entre Fay et Gene.
Le final réussit à :
- boucler les arcs narratifs ;
- offrir une reconnaissance publique au couple ;
- ouvrir sur un avenir crédible.
La dernière scène, avec les cactus en fleurs et le voyage vers les parents de Wanneung, apporte une conclusion douce, symbolique et pleine d’espoir.
En bref : Une très belle romance, imparfaite mais sincère, qui touche juste… même si elle manque parfois de fluidité pour atteindre l’excellence absolue.
