Chomjan is arrested when Ratti catches her selling fake jewellery. Ratti is a renowned jewellery designer and a famous car racer. He loathes liars and thieves and seizes any chance he can to put these people in their places.

When Ratti catches his girlfriend cheating on him with his stepbrother, he flees to Italy. He returns months later when his stepmother threatens to sell one of his late mother's favourite necklaces. Filled with rage, Ratti storms into his ex's wedding and steals the necklace. Chomjan is released from jail and walking around homeless when she's caught up in Ratti's escape, causing the security to cuff both of them together.

Tied together by force, Chomjan must help Ratti run from the police this time.

Pleasantly Surprised

I don't watch a lot of Thai dramas that are not BL-centric. The first one I completed, I only pulled through because I pulled through every other adaptation of it too, it wasn't even the worst adaptation. The second one, I stopped watching it because it was so boring. Not gonna lie, when I reached the middle part of My Lucky Star, I was very close to dropping this show as well. From the very minimal heteronormative Thai dramas I've watched or tried watching, I noticed slow pacing usually comes with the shows.

I am quite thankful I completed My Lucky Star because wow, those last few episodes were such a ride. So, let's back up a little. The beginning of this drama was good. I was thoroughly intrigued to see how the Thai adaptation will differ from the Taiwanese drama. Then reaching the second quarter, there came a point when it became obvious I cannot compare both adaptations anymore because the Thai version was differing quite a bit. At this point, I was still interested to see what is going to happen. It was during the third quarter, the classic third-act breakup if you understand, that truly bored me. This drama really could have cut down on several episodes because the third-act breakup episodes were actually unhelpful to the entire drama. Then the last quarter, honestly expected some of it but did not expect it to go exactly how it went in the drama.

Ultimately, it's all good. I liked that I finished this show because it's not a bad show. Can it be compared to the Taiwanese version? Hell no, the Taiwanese version holds a very special place in my heart. However, disregarding that this is an adaptation from another, My Lucky Star is good.

I would have loved it more if instead of prolonging the third act, they prolonged the last act. Starting from Phrao engaging Pond to accuse Chomjan of committing a crime.

Last but not least, I hate the fact that not once did Night acknowledge the fact that Chomjan is his lucky star. The whole point of calling this drama My Lucky Star is to show through even the minute details that no matter what tough shit the main male character goes through, he always pulls through because of the main female character. Yet Night didn't even call her his lucky star. I must say, I am a little peeved.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

(Anon from earlier, re: my previous ask)

I want to be clear that I'm not angry at you or trying to cancel you or anything, because that's seriously not what I'm doing. I just wanted to try to explain why, from a canon standpoint, as well as a historical standpoint, you saying Angus was trying to dodge the draft is not founded in fact. Sometimes a crack a teenage boy makes about a swimsuit looking like women's underwear is just the set-up to a "LOL I fucked your mom" joke.

While Vietnam is certainly a lingering gloom over the movie, the only time we hear about it in conjunction with Angus is A: when he's talking to Hunham and says that Barton Boys don't go to Vietnam, and B: when Angus says that, if he's sent to Fork Union, he will maybe be sent to Vietnam.

So basically, I love that you're trying to write about draft dodging and I think it's a very good thing to discuss and depict, especially nowadays with the current American political climate, but don't insert plot points where there are none and make connections to things that just simply aren't there. If you want to discuss a boy who claims to be gay to dodge the draft, cool! You can write that! Because Alexander Payne and David Hemingson certainly did not do that.

Much love xx

1) I never thought you trying to cancel me

2) intention can create dual meaning. Like that time I accidentally had people in my media arts class thinking a character in my short film ate paint swatches. Not what happened but damn I liked the reading

3) still doesn't know that the more commonly used phrase was resisting

4) wealthy boys definitely had ways out of Vietnam, but combining the fact that Angus is seen to be less wealthy than his peers (I believe Dominic Sessa has spoken on this and also the amount of money spent on his father was mentioned) and the fact that his family was willing to send him to military school implies his family had a pro-Vietnam War stance. He would've been more likely to be sent to Vietnam than his peers (also the scene with Angus and Mary at the end implies that in certain ways as well.)

5) Please learn what a plot point is in contrast with themes.

6) I KNEW YOU WERE A FILMMAKER'S CHOICE BITCH!
