Ready, Set, Love (2024)

Gives positive vibes

Ready Set Love is very entertaining mini series that gives a positive vibes to the viewers . You will be amazed by it colorful cinematography. This mini series gives a squid game vibe but in different level about dating and its very funny. Their is also a little touch of drama when they talked about their family.
The casting is great, they picked the hottest gentleman cast plus Son looks like the Korean actor Byeon Woo Seok. Then Day really looks like the True Beauty star Moon Ga Young every angle you look you will say its her twin sodter hehehe.
Its fun to watch mini series, it shows challenges that they need to survive. It also shows the love for the family, that you are willing to sacrifice for your family. Ilike Day's spirit willing to do anything for the sake of her younger sister.
Day and Son met before when they still a child.Day is the one that save Son then, they lost contact with each other what connects them is that necklace. They met again unexpectedly at the game.Will their love rekindle when they meet again?
You better watched it to find out
I'm glad that Thai series are doing well. I actuality watched it in tagalog dubbed because I'm not used in hearing the thai language, ita too fast for me just like they are always in a hurry.
All in all the series is cute and funny, no dull moments

Distopia, crítica e amor

Eu já ia reclamar do final pq se passaram 4 anos e pra mim distopia tem que ter início, meio e fim, achei que eles iam se juntar pra tentar derrubar a fazenda e alguém de dentro também sabe mas o final do pai dele estar vivo me deu esperança de ter uma segunda temporada, mas será que eles vão se envolver agora que construíram uma família? Eu queria que o elenco todo estivesse caso uma segunda temporada seja confirmada
Mas enfim, eu gostei muito do mundo distópico que criaram, achei que foi bem desenvolvido apesar de algumas coisas que me incomodaram, tipo muito drama, cenas de comédia que não foram tão engraçadas, algumas coisinhas no drama mesmo que ficaram fracas, até alguma diálogos mas enfim, quem sou eu pra falar críticas não é, mas num geral gostei! A ideia é promissora demais além de ter não só a crítica principal mas muitas outras sobre a opção sexual também que é uma coisa que a Tailândia fala muitooo apesar de ser um país totalmente preconceituoso.

a quick watch with a bearable storyline

so, i didn’t finish it obviously because i really couldn’t watch it anymore ?

tbh no hate to it at all, if you’re into short dramas that have a cute little expected story going on then this might be just for you. me on the other hand, im not exactly into basic storylines with basic characters so.. BUT that’s just my own opinion.

also, it kind of reminded me of meteor garden (a chinese drama) that i had ALSO dropped halfway through and the way it reminded me of meteor garden just pushed me even more to the decision of dropping it.

the typical weird funny girl x coldhearted boy trope is just KINDAA not for me, so that’s the only reason. other than that, it was pretty okay

Fun, funny, intense, and interesting dystopian story

This was a really interesting story and a lot of fun without being too superficial or too dark. I enjoyed the plot and I enjoyed how it moved along and didn't waste a lot of time on unimportant things. Definitely worth a season 2.

Everybody's acting was pretty good. I'd like to imagery in a lot of ways because they made it very clear and bright while discussing a subject that was somewhat dark. The game show itself was really interesting but you know predictable in some ways because of the story of the show being rigged. But the way they described the subject around it was interesting.

If you can look past the slapstick comedy elements it is a hidden gem rom com

9.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2024 Thai Dystopian Romantic Comedy Series with 6, 63-7 minute episodes.

First I provide a unique synopsis then review

Synopsis

The show is set in a dystopian parallel universe where a virus has resulted in males representing only 1% of the population. The rarity of males has lead to the government raising them from birth in a controlled, secure, and luxurious environment (a gilded cage) called The Farm. Every Four Years a contest is held in the form of an elimination dating game where ladies are able to choose to marry an individual from a group of the young bachelors. In previous games, the contestants were chosen from elite families only but, for the first time, they hold a lottery to choose an average femalecitizen to compete. Darika Chokwithee or “Day” (Belle Kemisara Paladesh) is a hardworking young lady whose life centers around making sure her sister, May (Neen Neennara Boonnithipaisit) who has cancer, gets the best care. Her sister May though has always fan girled over the boys on the farm particularly Son (Blue Pongtiwat Tangwancharoen) who she particularly admires. While Day is busy working a variety of jobs, May focuses on getting as many entries as possible to the lottery. When a miracle happens and May’s entry is chosen, she talks Day into going in her place. Day could care less aboit some frivilous show until she discovers if she wins, and marries one of the men from “The Farm”, she can secure the future for herself and her sister including top quality medical care. But, things are not as they are portrayed and the game has been rigged for the top elite to have their choice of the men. Day’s friend, Valentine (Jane Jaytiya Naiwattanakul) is working with a counter group, and goes to work for the show as the spy inside. Can true love overcome odds so heavily weighed against it?

Review

If ypu can see past some of the siily slapstick aspects around the game show, it is a hidden gem. It can be hard to find a truely feel good romantic comedy like this one. This is cute, not super complex, and ends happily with all major plot elememts neatly resolved. It is short but the number of episodes were enough to tell the story well. I would rewatch it in the future and recommend it as a heartwarming romantic comedy. I could habe done without the boy love and girl love elements but it was not hyper sexualized content in general so it was not a big deal.

Spoilers

The only very slight detractor for me was some of the three stooges level comedy. But it did make me giggle a couple of times as it was so incredibly silly.

Despite the relative light fluff of the main story, there are some deeper messages. What is health and safety without freedom? The men on the Farm are living in the highest level of safety with every luxury but they are not free.

If there was ever a situation like that we can all envision where the elite would likely control it. Natural selection and genetic diversity is what keeps a population strong and healthy. So their “selection” system would be horrible from that perspective. But if you think of inbreeding among royal lines in the past, and the genetic issues that caused, it is not surprising.

Almond’s (Man Trisanu Soranun) fear and decision to stay behind makes sense considering the psychology of a situation like that. It is like opening a cage and the bird or whatever either does not leave or uses it as a home base.

Unique romcom that captured my heart

This drama was not one I had been anticipating, I just happened to come across it. And immediately after the first episode, i was OBSESSED. I absolutely loved how interesting the plot was - it was lighthearted but also serious when it needed to be. I loved how each 'main' character had a purpose in the show - except for Jin... his job was literally just making anyone put on his team, lose. Regardless, I liked how the plot was developed. The acting was great - of course it was silly at times but I think that suited the vibes of the show. I am now a huge fan of Blue since he did such a good job playing Son! I also loved the gay sideplots - both Paper and Chun as well as the producer and her girlfriend. The OST made for the show was very fitting. I'd definitely rewatch this again - it provided me with so much comfort. I feel like the ending was conclusive while also being open which is great. PLEASE GIVE US A SEASON 2.

Muito divertido de assistir

Um romcom muito divertido e diferente do usual. Ao mesmo tempo que entregavam comédia eles conseguiram colocar também uma parte de investigação na história e ficou ótimo!
Apesar de ser bem curtinho é um ótimo lakorn que te faz rir em todos os eps. Gostei da atuação de todos os personagens e da diversidade entre os casais. Eu adorei o enredo de ser um mundo com praticamente só mulheres e adorei tbm esse conceito do reality para conseguir se casar com um dos homens, todos os jogos foram mt divertidos. Ansiosa pra uma nova temporada!

Pra finalizar, é um dorama bem curtinho mesmo, que não é pra ser extremamente elaborado, é só pra vc curtir e se distrair assistindo, recomendo bastante, principalmente pra quem adora uma comédia romântica!

muito bom????

Quando vi a sinopse desse drama, confesso que dei uma respirada e revirei os olhos. Depois do lançamento, vi bons comentários e fiquei curiosa... fui assistir totalmente sem expectativas e saí apaixonada.

Me apaixonei por todos os personagens, tirando a vac4 da mãe da Channel, e achei até o Almond interessante. Dei umas gargalhadas gostosas com toda a farofada, principalmente da protagonista que virou minha protegida. Amei a relação da Day e da May, da Channel e da Bovy e da Day e da Va. Não posso esquecer do meu casal sáfico de mamães que também foi tudo!! Amei todos os casais, mas os protagonistas me pegaram com tanta fofura!!

Gostei do plot principal e de como o drama terminou, mesmo que não tenha segunda temporada. É difícil mudar um sistema, mas as raízes de novas possibilidades foram plantadas.

Soltei uma risada gostosinha com "direitos dos homens são direitos humanos" e amei como o movimento #freemachos serviu protagonismo feminino do início ao fim.

Amei, amei, amei ver tantas mulheres, muito diferentes entre si, construindo seus próprios caminhos, sendo corajosas e escolhendo por si mesmas.

Molto carino, ben fatto e pure sorprendentemente coraggioso

Quando mi approccio ad un drama thai ho sempre un poco di apprensione. Ho visto drama thai di cui mi sono innamorata alla follia e altri che ritengono inguardabili, specialmente per un occidentale, perciò non so mai cosa aspettarmi. La prima puntata di questo drama mi aveva leggermente preoccupato per la recitazione decisamente sopra le righe di diversi personaggi, specie della protagonista femminile, ma poi mi ha sorpreso piacevolmente. La recitazione si è stabilizzata e dove era troppo oltre risultava comunque piacevole perchè era un troppo utilizzato per prendere in giro molte tematiche dei giorni nostri: i reality show, gli idol e gli spot commerciali degli idol, i drama e i loro plot prevedibili, la falsità delle televisione e dei massmedia, il potere delle classi elitarie ecc... Inoltre la trama che all'inizio risulta molto prevedibile, e lo resta, regala comunque alcune scelte piuttosto coraggiose riguardo alcuni personaggi e devo dire che l'ho guardato con molto piacere. Entra a far parte dei drama thai da me più amati senza alcun dubbio.

gave more than expected (but maybe not enough?)

I picked this up thinking it would be just a light watch as I was getting bored,
but surprisingly it actually hooked me

the acting wasn’t top-notch, but it wasn’t bad either, most the actors gave exactly what was expected of their characters without taking away the spotlight of the other characters…

the show gave you enough to watch to keep watching and the over exaggeration that’s expected from Thai dramas too adding a more light tone overall and a comedic twist

the separate relationships between the characters was dealt with well too (romantic, platonic, parental etc)

However, I think with a longer run/ or even within 6 episodes, the more dystopian side could be explored, I think it was slightly brushed off how the societies normality wasn’t equal between men and women but no one had any issue with it until the last point (which was shown with the revolt at the end and almonds character showing how integrated the regime was). Also there was no true resolvement apart from the couples
(but there is a possibility for a season two)

overall it was a good watch if not deeply interpreted and taken more on face value with a hint of more complex details.
