Our Mamuang From Korea (2017)

"Our Mamuang from Korea" – Summary and review.

"Our Mamuang from Korea" is a story that focuses on a group of people in a town who are met with a lost foreigner (Mingyu). Three of the towns people do not like the foreigner, who they nicknamed Mamuang (mango in Thai) due to his liking to mango, and actively bad mouth him.

From making him do chores to framing him for trying to steal from a temple, nothing is too much for the three. While the monk, his novice and the policeman try to convince them that they're wrong, they're hard stuck on the fact that Mamuang is there to sabotage them.

At the end, it's found out that Mamuang is actually called Mingyu, an idol from Korea who got lost in Thailand after travelling. They look back at their actions, and are ashamed and embarrassed.

This drama greatly teaches the value to not judge others or assume the worst, which i believe is one of the main ideas behind the drama. Yod, Atom and Sua represent the people who judge others, while the Monk, his novice and the policeman represent having an open mind to accept others.

All in all, the drama was decent. The acting was pretty alright, the settings looked nice and there was lighthearted humor as well. There wasn't really any music, besides the background ones, but it didn't really bother me personally. It doesn't really have all of rewatch value story wise, but it's short and enjoyable, and not a waste of time.
