My Lucky Star (2023)

Solid Remake, But Not Quite Funny and Wholesome as Original

This is a lakorn remake of my all time favorite Taiwanese drama. It's hard to review this remake without comparing it to the original. After watching this version, I can say that they didn't royally screw it up. It was an okay remake that was catered toward Thai audiences. It was more of a lakorn style, which included some over the top drama and a lot more violence. They managed to keep most of the core story intact. They got rid of a lot of the dirty jokes from the original and made some characters more evil than they were. As a result, some of the humor and wholesomeness from the original was lost. They also got rid of the little girl storyline, which was one of my favorites. As a result, this eliminated two of my favorite tropes from the original. However, some of the changes they made might keep you on your toes because they also changed a few of the twists. I thought the acting was decent. If you are a lakorn watcher who hasn't seen the original, I think you'll still enjoy this drama. There are no screaming banshees, so that's a plus. Some of the story is a bit predictable for lakorn standards, while some of it is not. This is definitely a more violent remake though.

Soapy & Draggy

Be warned, the same song is used a billion times per episode so get used to the Lucky Star song and if you can’t tolerate it, drop the show.

The leads were great, plenty of chemistry.

This became more soapy the longer it went and I skipped tonnes just so I could finish. If you can follow it on fast forward, well then it’s obvious it is not the best script ever written.

Lots of plot holes, laughable at times.

Won’t evet rewatch. So go down this road with caution. I think it had a few redeeming moments so I gave it a 5 overall. Thai dramas can be a hard watch, so this was doable but I was ready for it to be done.

Shallow and weak plot or rather random stories lurking around a Very slow as if its not existent development in the sequence of events silly conversation naive logic support Characters will not please you (i used to like the supportive uncle though when the show started but turned out to be too good to be true ) and cheesy romance scenes staring and breathing included with endlessly repeated theme song that will stick in your brain if you're into this you're welcome to watch, like aren't numerous of Thai dramas that way ? i would still watch this though don't judge me these types of dramas are my escape /get away from my day to day life troubles and loads the presence of film Thanapat is plus for me further more i like the lead actress the kind and diligent and pretty type no cool act,no fake sexiness, no show off at least that's the vibe i get ,all in all if you're here for deep concepts and phenomenal cinematics don't watch You'll be disappointed and if you're here to detach go for it

The Taiwanese version is old and outdated, but this one is more dynamic and funnier.

Well rated remake, but with a very lakorn touch (long breaks on stares, lots of violence, twisted villains, etc.).

PLOT: Meeting between a jewelry forger (the FL) and the heir of a jewelry group, the ML. He discovers that his fiancée is cheating on him with a family rival (the same villain actor as usual :(
The ML sends the FL to prison. When she comes back out, they meet again and survive a few adventures, which bind them strongly. But the ML's uncle separates them...

PROS:
+ Good actors
+ correct OST
+ dynamic production

CONS:
- Low quality audio,
- twists too obvious,
- story poorly written.

=> Only to pass the time, with lots of skipping.
