Wake Up Ladies: The Series (2018)

Honestly, this might be one of the best series by GMMTV, and definitely my favourite. The things that I really love about this series is definitely the balance between the comical scenes and the serious ones. They did an excellent job with the witty and hilarious comments added on the actors’ lines. The serious scenes are totally gonna impress you with Niti (J’Doc) ‘s words of advice. This series will give you a rollercoaster of emotions, in which you will laugh out loud along with the casts, get pissed, smile like an idiot, and cry. I was really reluctant to watch the last episode as I didn’t want the series to end, but I still did and as a result I cried a lot because I was overwhelmed with all the feelings. I’ve never loved a series this much before. Definitely recommended!

The Drama offers purely entertaining story that tells the ups and downs of five friends in search for the Right One. Had I known it earlier, I would have probably finished it watching by 2019. Regardless, my faith in Thai drama has been restored thanks to Wake Up Ladies the series. If you are finding a series that will make you laugh out loud, don't hesitate yourself to give it a shot. Season 2 is coming out in 2020. I am certainly looking forward to it. Hopefully, those five actors are still retained and few improvements in cinematography and acting can provide the viewers with new ambiance of the series.

I have a lot of things to say about this show so sit down everyone! I saw ads for this show a while back and I was eminently smitten with its premise. The show looked really funny and a nice break from after just watching Grey Rainbow (if you have seen it you know what I am talking about). When I started the first episode, I immediately fell in love with the intro. It sounds so fun and fresh compared to some dramas where I just skip the openings. I honestly look forward to the show partly to hear the opening. It is defiantly a favorite along with the HIStory op.
As I continued to watch this show, I fell in love with the characters Jane, Tata, and especially Natt. They had really enjoyable personalities even though Tata´s innocence can be a bit annoying at times. But with the other two main characters, Kulay and Aei, I found them cringey and annoying to see. Aei´s character is just really clingy. She constantly whines about how she wants a love life and about how life is so unfair. I understand that some people can relate to her but I found her cringey. And with Kulay, I really didn´t like her attitude and how she is like, ¨ I should get what I want all the time¨ sometimes these two get on my nerves a ton but others times I don´t mind them.
I honestly like the story and how every episode teaches you something important threw all the silliness.
One thing I didn´t like about the story that much is the imbalance of screentime for every character. Yes, a;; four female characters get a pretty good amount of screentime disbursed around them. But I honestly don´t thing Natt get´s enough solo screen time. He is always solving everyone's problems even though everyone is a full-fledged adult who should have to ask their doctor friend to fix their love lives. I have not finished the show but I have yet to see really any development between Natt and his love interest which really makes me angry.
Do I like this show? It is kinda...meh
Would I rewatch it? The chances are pretty slim.
Even with my complaints I still think this is a show for people to want to watch. These are just my opinions but thank you for reading.

Hmm... Wake Up Chani's poster is filled with 5 people I would deem typical side-cast, I know them all already and frankly I was never interested to see any of them in lead roles. A guy named Pompam Niti Chaichitatorn, who is a talk-show host, and portrays open gay in this, starts introducing the 4 ladies (or 3 ladies and 1 girl), who shall be his character study. That introduction is funny and reminded me of the series called 'Diary of Tootsies'. And in the following episodes, that impression stayed with me. Though this mainly features straight ladies and not so much tootsies, it just kinda has similar style.

So, this could be the same good fun, or even better, as we don't have to deal with anyone's feces. But! These 3+1 ladies cannot measure up to the main foursome who were way cuter and funnier in Diary. Also, not often you see opening credits that have such a distinct party style. Most cases I felt a pitty the episode that followed did not have quite the same drive and it was like still waiting for something to "get the party started". But it has good friendship feel and understanding of relationships. And I admit Pompam Niti is way better actor than I would think him.

Wake up

Eu relutei bastante antes de assistir esse série, pois confesso que minha paixão são séries BL, mas quando comecei a assistir me apaixonei pelo Dr. Nan, a inocente Tata, a super focada no trabalho Jane, a assanhada Kluay e a azarada Aei.
O roteiro é muito bom, todas as personagens tem igual destaque, e as histórias delas se entrelaçam. O Dr. é praticamente um santo por aguentar tanta loucura delas. A atuação delas é maravilhosa, simplesmente maravilhosa, e a série é uma comédia bem dosada, que não parte para o exagero. A ost é super coerente com a série, a fotografia muito bem elaborada, enfim, apenas enaltecer esse trabalho fantástico e recomendar essa série se vc pretende dar boas risadas com um humor inteligente.

A Fun Yet Realistic Portrayal Of Friendship & Love

I decided to watch this season back in Feb this year since the second season had just been released. My expectations were fairly low, but I was quickly blown away by how good this series is! It's the type of series that you don't have to be that invested to enjoy, with all sorts of surprises along the journey.

The concept of this series is not that original, but the characters, stories, themes, comedy, romance, and representation are what make this series so original and special! I felt connected to all the friends in the group since each of them has their own unique traits and circumstances that contribute to the main plot. There is a huge variety in types of romances, such as age gaps, LGBTQ+, lifestyles, self-love, and more, which is something you don't see often in many dramas. However, their friendship is the main pillar that holds everyone together with them supporting, comforting, and laughing with one another all the way.

Overall, if you want a funny yet realistic series that focuses heavily on friendship, romance, life crisis, and self-identity, then I recommend this series!
