Two fluffy green forest leading males to enjoy!
Despite a shaky start with naïve and wooden acting, I found myself smiling at the gentle plot as the drama progressed. And I could definitely see the improvement all around by the 7th episode.
"City of Stars" isn't groundbreaking, and its plot is extremely familiar, but... It addressed some highly sensitive subjects, which I found remarkably impressive.
What I enjoyed:
The main men. Just green forests everywhere. And the third act didn't have a pointless split! Hallelujah! You know how it goes, especially when one character has to move away for X amount of time, they usually have to break up because you know, phone calls and video chats can’t be maintained… Fueang and Krom were very grown up when they had to go long distance. I was deeply affected by Feuang's crying in their parting scene. Great acting by Job!
And can I just mention Job’s dreamy eyes? That man knows how to smize!
I have to also mention Kor – he was a brilliant sidekick to Fueang. His loyalty as a ride-or-die friend and the development of his second male lead storyline were excellent.
Fueang's manager was someone I really liked. She's a dragon you'd want in your corner. She always had Fueang’s back. Also, fabulous outfits!
"City of Stars" offers a super fun cast and a plot that's not too heavy but still gets the serious points across. It's packed with kissing, and I'm not kidding! The actors were clearly committed to those kissing scenes, and as a fan, I'm grateful that one of the leads didn't give a poor performance with fish kisses. I also liked that the affection wasn't one-sided, with one male lead giving it all and the other constantly avoiding it. Fueang and Krom gave great hugs!
Overall, a pleasant watch.
