Garota de Fora (2018)

Karma sure has a cute face!

The Girl from Nowhere was so much fun show. Every episode had a differant feel to it but was fun in its own way. Each episode takes place in its own school and is based around its own sin. Nanno the main character is a pretty, smart young girl who moves from school to school bringing her own happy horrifying verson of karma on all those before her. Well sort of. If their isn't enough trouble at a school when she arrives Nanno stirs crap up herself so she can punish someone. Her punishments very feom fair to way overkill. She seems to having been doing this for decades and feeds off the fear and pain of those she is punishing reguardless of the innocents who are hurt along the way. While people die in this show its never those getting punished because that would be to easy for Nanno. I really really loved this show. She was like all those somebody should come smack this annoying character fantasies you have when watching a show with a kind or too nice lead come to life. She is OP but its fun watching and trying to fugure out what the villians have done wrong in some cases or in others just trying to figure out what she is going to do to punish them. Nanno is not a good guy. Nanno is not a bad guy. Nanno is an agent of chaos. An inacter of karma. Nanno is loving her job and seasoning the meat of the wicked to be eaten later. I love this show. One or two episodes were a little flatter then others but over all it was very worth the watch and I would rewatch. Nanno reminds me of Tommi at times but better. I would recommend this show to horror fans and drama justice hounds.

I had come across this when it was a fresh release, not knowing what lies ahead. The plot was very interesting, so being a fanatic of suspense dramas, I decided to give it a go. The first two episodes were very much disturbing for me, causing me to completely drop it even though it had a big potential.

A few years later, it became the talk of the town, and I kept seeing spoilers on Twitter, so I decided to continue watching it. This time, I became more engrossed in the drama, and surprisingly, I also find myself laughing together with Nanno whenever the main character in each episode is being punished. Her character is very mysterious, being able to transfer schools looking fine despite being hurt (and even killed) a couple of times. But the real question is, who is Nanno? Kitty answered that Nanno is the daughter of Satan, but I believe there is much more behind it.

Recommendable, although I advise everyone to be careful as it has many trigger warnings and disturbing scenes for some. I can't wait for season 2 and I somehow hope that Nanno gets her own backstory, of how she became the daughter of Satan, as Kitty said.

Not your typical drama

Warning. If you are easily triggered by discussion of||rape, sexual assault, abuse (physical, mental, emotional, verbal, sexual), child abuse/pedophilia, self-injurious behavior (self-harm, eating disorders, etc.), suicide, excessive or gratuitous violence, depiction of pornography, thieving, death, pregnancy, abortion, blood, mental illness, bullying and A LOT MORE||, I strongly suggest that you DO NOT watch or read any comments/reviews about this drama.


Let's begin. First of all, I love how the writers decided that each (one or two) episode(s) would be a mini story in itself. It is a rather unusual but effective approach as it is able to cover many topics that are usually tough to talk about without have character conflicts (e.g. making the characters seem unrealistic). Even though it doesn't talk about all of societal/school problems that exist, I have to give them credit for covering *a lot* of it. I loved how the writers made the story semi-supernatural without having the focus on it like a science fiction drama would have because that's just not my favourite genre. The only and main problem I have with the entire drama is that after a certain episode, the supernatural things began to look more cruel than address the problem.

Moving on to the cast, I just want to say that they casted the perfect main character and side characters. The side characters had relatively "easy-to-forget" faces but memorable characters so rather than the audience remembering the cast, they remember the message behind what is happening onscreen. As for Nanno, Kitty Chicha Amatayakul ชิชา อมาตยกุล is such a good actress~ perfectly embodying the craziness of the written character. (The character reminds me of an younger, more extreme, non-romantic version of Ko Moon Young from the Korean drama 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay.')

Overall, I would DEFINITELY RECCOMEND this.

Although not all the stories seem special, but some episodes cannot be denied that they were really great.

Even though the quality of the acting of some actors were just mediocre, however most of them were extraordinary.

The music that played on some “critical” moments was so "beautiful", making this series so ffff enjoyable, especially the unforgettable those "revenge" moments.

In Indonesian:
Meskipun tidak semua cerita terkesan istimewa, namun beberapa episode memang tidak bisa dipungkiri bahwasanya itu sungguh spesial.

Meskipun kualitas akting beberapa aktor terlihat biasa saja, akan tetapi sebagian besar sungguh luar biasa.

Musik pengiring yang begitu “indah”, membuat series ini menjadi begitu menyenangkan itu bisa dinikmati terutama dimoment “balas dendam” yang tak terlupakan.

Nanno is a horror movie villain for hypocrites

It's difficult to recommend The Girl From Nowhere, not because it's bad but because roughly ever episode needs its own cavalcade of trigger warnings from violence against women to miscarriage to bullying. If you have a trigger, this show is likely to gleefully feature it.

I've seen more reviews saying "This isn't like Gossip Girl or other teen dramas" than anything indicating that it was supposed to be or looked like that. It's not a teen drama, at least not in the conventional soapy sense. Instead, Nanno is an agent of chaos, a kind of horror movie villain for hypocrites. She just happens to also be a teenager.

The acting is pretty consistent overall, for me the biggest problem with the show is that it's kind of inconsistent in terms of quality and in terms of episodes. It has some of my favorite episodes of television I've seen in years, specifically Episode 8 "Lost & Found," though I still think you need to be familiar with the series in order to watch that one. But it also has some very inconsistent episodes that don't really seem to be following the pseudo-formula that the series has overall, like Episode 4 & Episode 10.

This feels like a show that someone would call "Black Mirror-esque" when what they mean is it's a show where every episode is different and has a similar moral (Black Mirror's moral is that technology is evil, The Girl From Nowhere is all about calling you on your own hypocrisy.)

Overall, I found it terribly entertaining (emphasis on terrible) but it's a difficult show to recommend. I will be seeking out Season 2.

black mirror but not

This is my first Thai drama that I’ve seen, so apologies because I am unfamiliar with the setup. This show reminded me of Black Mirror wherein each episode is its own story and it’s supposed to spread a message. It does get a bit dark and extreme at times though, so if you’re looking for some lighthearted fun this isn’t it lol.

The story regarding the “mysterious girl” was interesting to me. I kept wanting to find out who she was and where she came from which increased my desire to keep watching. I think the underlying theme of this whole series is it shows the ugly side of humans. I appreciated the fact that there were consequences for everything. The actress is so talented and she carries the emotions/insanity over very well especially with her expressions.

I was so into it I couldn’t get over the fact that it was over. I wish there was a follow-up season where we get to either see more different scenarios or learn more about the female lead. Or maybe it’s kept that way to keep it a secret. Either way, I loved watching this drama.

Disturbing yet facinating

While browsing through my usually visited sites, I found some edits of the main character, Nanno all over Tumblr, youtube and Instagram. I had to see what this show was all about and the international hype surrounding it.

To shortly summarise my thoughts on the show people are either going to hate it or love it. It may come across as unamusing or thrilling for its tone.

Each episode is set at a different school with Nanno as the new student unravelling people’s deepest darkest and ugly side. In agreement with the below comments, the episode structure had a black mirror feel to it. The more episodes I checked through, the more disturbing the story progressed. Although the outcome of almost each episode tends to become similar and unsurprising, I couldn’t stop watching till the very end. The episodes explore and present topics such as societal expectations, social pressure, school bullying, wealth and more. The storytelling is both exaggerated and warped compared to your typical drama series. Which may be what caught attention worldwide.

I did find it interesting how we get to see different sides to Nanno. Which gets me curious to know more about her. The acting from Chicha and the supporting cast were very convincing and real. The performance makes us reflect on to what length humanity would go to please, protect and reach their goals.

I really liked this show because of its revenge aspect even though each revenge was a little different I liked how whenever someone did something wrong nano made sure they were punished the first episode is one of the best I liked to episodes more when they were helping someone innocent. there are sexual scenes in this show but I just skipped through them but the acting was very well done by the actress who played nano and the plot was good as well.

I do wish there was more helping an inoccent or somewhat inocent person in this show because that would make it a lot more thrilling.

but this show had you on your toes a lot because you want to know who is wrong in that situation who is telling the truth, who is evil, who might die, how will nano exact the plan.

the quality of this show is amazing the special effects I found beautiful with all the injuries done on the actors and the acting I found was pretty great as well.

the end episode really makes you hate people well a lot of the episodes have one character most of the time or more then one character who is obviously in the wrong even though nano may take some extreme methods there is still an amazing method to her madness.

the actress who played nano is just brilliant with that psychotic laugh and her facial expressions and body language put together it just makes her character better and better.

you can rewatch this show a few times because of its great plots.

I usually go for Korean or Chinese shows but every now and then I find a great Thai show like this.

I watched this show on Netflix so I do not know where else to watch this drama.

OML THIS IS JUST WOWWWW

This is possibly one of the best live-action shows I have seen in my entire existence. It's probably even safe to say that it is my FAVOURITE live-action show. I usually turn a blind eye on Thai tv shows but, once I found this on IG, I immediately watched it without hesitation.

Each episode was unique and well written. It was very refreshing to see a different story in each episode. The main character was the baddest b**ch I have ever seen, and all the other characters were also portrayed beautifully. Don't even get me started on the cinematography. The way they filmed the series was absolutely beautiful (especially the opening.)

Overall, I give this series an 11/10 rating and I would 100% recommend it.

P.S. The main character's laugh and attitude are just perfect. NANNO SUPREMACY!!!!

What a wild ride

This show is absolutely nuts but in a good way. It's dark but intriguing. Every single episode has a meaning behind it and you don't have to crack your brain too hard to figure it out. With the differing storyline and twists, sometimes you might not see it coming or at times you'll feel satisfied, in spite of expecting it, because it was executed very well. The cast did quite a good job I'd say. The most shocking part for me was their true age! Some stories were just okay while others bring in a wow factor. Without a doubt, the endings of most episodes are the *highlight* that may render you speechless. The only thing I really didn't like was how illogical and unnatural some scenes are. Nonetheless, I would recommend it, truly addicting! Can't wait for s2 :)

A disturbing but compelling watch

FYI: this review is about S1&2
This was one of the first asian shows I watched and continues to be one of my favourites. It impacted me to watch other shows in the hopes they would capture the same eerie spirit. I knew nothing about it before watching so the anthology aspect definitely threw me off at first. The longer I kept watching the better the individual stories got and the more I wondered what the next episode could be about. Most of the stories were effective for me and were stressful to watch, because you always see the awful punishment coming. Sometimes the characters deserve it and sometimes they don't which gives the series another extra layer. We don't really know who Nanno is and why exactly she's doing these things but that didn't really bother me. If they would overexplain it wouldn't be effective anymore. We get to see different sides of her throughout and the amount we got was perfect. This was one of the few series I found intruiging from start to end. The Yuri character introduced in S2 was very annoying but made perfect sense in the story. I personally found some parts of S2 to be an improvement over S1 but overall they're on the same level. The ending actually made me shed a tear and I ended up rooting for my sister Nanno.
