extremely well done with subtle flaws. "with some spoilers"
City of stars is a well-done interesting series featuring new leads to the industry that performed like they've done it before.
The story is about a Thai citizen who has been living in America working for a company that designed an app called Zendaya which is focused on positivity in the community, who meats a famous Thai actor when he vacations back home in Thailand.
The story was somewhat fresh, even knowing its trope was definitely not. They explored the rich wealthy famous guy getting with the common everyday guy in a way that differs from the norm. Instead of the common lifestyle character chasing after the man he adores as a celebrity, the celebrity is the one who has fallen in love at first sight. So, unlike the norm the roles are slightly reversed in this series. Which can be seen as refreshing.
Likes ~
The couple had chemistry
The story was cute at many points
Funny moments were great
The love
The story didn't follow the tropes norm
There was no dreaded break up around episode 10 and 11 that most BL's love to throw in
The love between the couples
The realism ~ unlike many BL's the way things went down and were handled were done in a realistic I can relate to that kind of way
The main couple COMMUNICATED
Dislikes ~
The story could have had a better flow to it as this series could have been a 50 minute long 6 to 10-episodes and done just as well on the couples while still being able to capture the audience on the lvl it did at many times.
The annoying sound effects thrown in at times where they didn't make sense (mainly first half of series)
Using voice overs to explain a part in the story (50/50 on this one some of the voiceover's were the characters inner thoughts which are acceptable to a point)
The series had moments where you couldn't tell if the character was dreaming or if it was their reality (mainly first half of series)
This last one is more of a personal one that being the next episode previews kind of worked too hard to make us think OMG BIG DRAMA NEXT EPISODE for it to be absolutely nothing like what was teased.
