Mike Angelo is definitely one of my favorite Thai actors, but I've seen him only in Chinese shows. Aside form #2, the rest are best known for their roles in BL shows.; which is where I know them all from. It's a good list for MDL.
This was entertaining overall. The attractive actors do a good job of keeping things funny and kept my attention. That said, the characters are horribly written. The story idea is fantastic, but the story is poorly told. The "making of" the TV show about the characters is weak and senseless, but the characters have decent personal stories. It's a decent remake, but not great.
Wow. This is an emotional roller coaster worth riding. I'd put off watching this for a year, because I knew it'd make me cry. I was right about that. This story is well told with beautiful cinematography, a talented cast and pleasant OST.
I'm not that far in the book yet. I have to wait for the English translations. I'm only as far as Tawan has been back in Thailand for a week.
