Girl from Nowhere (2018)
Drama With A Twist
Where to start? This show is a dope drama for me and shares so many things I like in a good series: thrills,drama,and even more thrills. It's dark and gritty,and so thrilling I lost my nerve and went crazy like the protagonist of the show.
Let's talk about Nanno,who the heck is she? A girl who lives in Thailand and transfers from school to school taking justice in her own hands. Not only is she creepy,but she just sits back while people act like dumbies. Two things though: how the heck does she have a phone? And are her parents mentioned?
I watched a few episodes and basically Nanno is trying to get justice on those who have wronged the system. Nothing more then that. Just keep it low key and nothing too high or too low . For me it was wild.
Nanno is a badass girl and if this were written into a graphic novel I would read it. Why the 8 stars? The most thrilling Thai drama I ever watched aside from that Thai film I watched (I Fine...Thank You...Love You.)
In the end,I won't spoil but I really hope to see what more wicked delicious thrills Nanno will cook up next. She's a mysterious girl who has her ways. Who is she? That's the mystery. I can't focus on her,but what is her existence and why does it matter. She really is manipulative and crazy but in a good way. My most favorite epsiode was #8: Lost And Found. Cute and nice. I hate The Wonder Wall though it doesn't have a happy ending. This show has shook me and I hope there are more good quality films out there like this
Final score: 8.3/10

How this film stole my heart
This film was made in 2014 which made me wonder: is it good. Well one year later and three years passed and there were big bops like: Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017) and Murphy's Law Of Love (2015.)
Since Asian international shows were just developing and hitting it to the next level,I gave this one a chance. It all started when I was scrolling through Netflix to look for another good romantic comedy to watch. (Either show or movie,in any language. As long as it was funny and nice I would take it.)
So when I first clicked I was like okay wow let's see how good this is. The opening scene was exaggerated and silly. We first meet Ms. Pleng,a women who is bilingual and can speak both Thai and English. Her English is a little wacky with a hint of an accent in it. And then there's Yim, a man who can't communicate with his girlfriend Kaya who speaks two languages: Japanese and English. The only language they know is making love. She wants to break up with him because it's hard to talk to him and understand him.
Yim on the other hand is a man who is dead set on getting his girl back and reaches out to Ms. Pleng to teach him English so he can learn to communicate with Kaya and get back together with her. However,his learning with her is slow and it takes about a bit into the way in the film before he can get fluent.
I have to say though,this film was a bit cliche. Some elements were not really what I expected. If I wrote and filmed this I would want to add a little bit of more excitement and giggles and funny moments. There WAS chemistry between the characters,but not enough to make me go "aww!" Still though,there were some good moments that made me cry.
And of course we all do know that two main lead characters fall for each other. It's not until the end that they realize their feelings for each other though. And in the end,their is something that is left unclear (hint: it confirms the "ship") but I will let you figure out what was left unsaid. I think i got it but I won't spoil it.
Overall though,this was a great film to watch. I wouldn't say I recommend it to everyone in the universe but to enough people who would love it.
Since this doesn't let me give a score out of five I will give the final film grade: 3.8/5.
