Batalha das Solteiras (2024)

Ready for a drama-filled world where women reign supreme? Tune in to find out!

The dystopian love rom com Ready Set Love is not only light hearted, but also highly entertaining. Also adding to the drama is the dating competition concept . Aside from being a good pick-me-up, this drama also provides a thoughtful commentary on gender roles. Considering the world's majority is female, the show explores how power dynamics and relationships would differ in a female-dominated world. This film also challenges traditional ideas of romance and love, making it a refreshing and thought-provoking experience.Overall, this drama is a must-watch for those looking for a unique and engaging romantic comedy.

It caught me off guard.

It surprised me a lot, as I wasn't expecting much. The characters are very captivating, and the soundtrack is impeccable (especially Beyond The Wall, which every time it played leaved me in tears)! The script was very well done, and with each finished episode it made me want to keep watching more and more. I hope there is a second season, if only for some of the questions to be answered! (I have many theories, in fact). The only negative point was that some characters were left aside very easily. I wasn't able to get attached to two of the singles as much as I would have liked, because they weren't even that prominent. What about representation? I LOVED IT!! I couldn't expect anything less from Thailand.

Im in LOVE with this show

Everything from the acting to the plot is amazing!Also the friggin intro is a bop.

I love the way they can make a show seem lighthearted and start it out with the viewers watching in the perspective of a dating show and then switching it up.

All the deep trauma and societal problems get uprooted as you go, but it still keeps it's comedic side which I loved!

Other than that. EVERY character in the gameshow is likeable and understandable. I like that there is no clear "villian". Some would argue it's Chanel's mom, but I don't think so.

Also let me not start talking about Almond. His character is so interesting! Although some people might dislike his character, I simply feel bad for him. He had acted as a bigger brother all his life and all he wants to do is protect his brothers from what they don't know. I mean, he is wrong in his assumptions, he's very brainwashed🥲

I ALSO LOVE THE CAMERAWORK! That one scene in episode 2 (I think) when Day yells "no" and it zoomes out, and then Son catches the camera, smirks and throws it back so it hits her. That was the funniest thing ever, very creative.

(Bonus, oml, Son with braids in the last episode killed me (in a good way), but Son in a wig was even better haha)

WOW… just WOW

I knew I would enjoy the show as my friend recommended it to me but this has got to be one of my favorite shows. Literally everything was done so well. Most people have the misconception that due to the lack of episodes, it would have poor execution but 6 episodes is perfect. The concept and plot of the show is just amazing and the romance and politics are just so well done. I also love how the show shows so many different types of relationships and dynamics. I’m absolutely in love with this show. It was so enjoyable and it was silly and not too serious. Also the ost was great and I’ll keep listening to it

Better than expected.

Some things a bit overboard, some things a bit too convenient, some things/characters too predictable, and it's definitely not some profound dystopian drama. But it definitely scratched the surface and had quite some nice starting points worth thinking about IF something like that would ever happen. How would women rule the world, what about birth rate and birth control, how to secure mankind's survival, etc.

It's probably just me taking attention to that, but even though it was maybe just randomly put into the story, it's actually quite logical that waaaaay more female relationships would exist in that environment and feel soooo normal. I hope, you know, what I mean. Another normal than what we have in our sociaty right now (where's still fighting for acceptance in many parts of the world).

Though I'm almost sure they wouldn't "sell" men like that if they are that valuable to the world.

The setting kind of resembled Squid Game, only without the death threat. I quite enjoyed the games, they really put some thoughts into those. Also, nice music and such beautiful shots here and there <3

And I was totally surprised by the good acting of the whole cast. I was esp. fond of the supposed evil SFL. I liked her performance, her facial expressions and gestures quite a lot.
I also liked the main couple, but I hated the hairspray hairstyle of the ML and his overly careful way of running his hand "through" his hair, lol.

Overall, a somewhat basic stereotype kind of character setting, but they still put together a really enjoyable story with only 8 episodes and even left room for a 2nd maybe deeper season. I would totally go for that since there's a lot more to tell about just everything. Potential's there. Hope, they use it wisely if they decide to it.

colorful show, bleak reality

If I was to describe this series, I would say it's similar to Squid Games but instead of a survival game, it's a silly dating game show. Instead of dying, you just don't get to find love with a guy. Heck, this series even have an undercover/spy character trying to expose the secrets of the game and at some point, ends up in a situation that is similar to the cop in Squid Games. It's a very fun series. Lots of comedic moments, but it's not shallow at all. There is some depth as it deals with family, being sincere, and striving to create a better life.

● SHORT REVIEW
-------------------------------------------

LIKES:
--A lot of the characters are likable, both Gentlemen and Ladies. I think my favorite character was Chanel and her development throughout. There was a lot of depth to her character that I liked.
--Love the style of editing/production. Some fun camera work/play (an example is episode 3, when Day finds out she is going to be on Son's team. Day pushing cam away and Son throwing it back). Enjoy the bright vivid colors
--Lots of fun silly moments but also heartfelt and emotional moments as well.
--LGBTQ+ representation is nice to see, especially gay male relationship in a world where men are scarce.

DISLIKES:
--I was still left with a lot of holes and questions about this universe. Given the length of the series, it's understandable we can't cover everything and answer every plot hole, but I still felt the birthrate disease, the story of the previously existing men, and this world could be explored more.

● IN-DEPT REVIEW
-------------------------------------------

[ --STORY/PLOT-- ]

The series shows us a very fun and colorful world on the surface, but it's a lot darker than it appears. Beyond the exterior, beyond the surface, beyond the pretenses, reality is not what it seems. We have men being rounded up under the pretense of protecting them, but it's merely a way for the rich and powerful to control their supply. We have what seems to be fun and silly dating gameshow, but it only exists to mask corruption, very Hunger Game-ish in that respect. It's a world full of fakeness, pretenses, and happy bright colors to hide a sadder reality. Baby boys are separated from their family and raised in a bubble. When they are old enough, they are treated a merely a commodity for women. Those that dare fight the system are imprisoned. But there is hope. There is resistant group exists call City Ground. It's a place where men can live freely with their family. One thing I liked was that, in contrast to the artificialness of The Farm/The Family, City Ground's vibe felt more natural.

I also love the characters in this series, as well as their relationships with other characters whether it's romantic or friendship. Initially, several of the characters put up pretenses. Son, acted very cool and aloof. Max appears shallow and competitive. Day was trying to say the right things so she could win. Chanel appears fierce and cold. However, as the series progress, we begin to see their true natures. There are a lot of genuine and sincere heart to heart conversations between the characters. Even main characters that seem antagonists, we are given enough development with them that we can understand why the make the decisions they did. I think, at the end, the only true antagonists are the rich powerful women who control the world like Chanel's mom.


[ --ACTING/CAST-- ]

Not much to say here as I think the cast members were good. Lots of over the top fun and silly moments, but there are lots of moments of sincerity and emotions as well. I thought the chemistry was good as well. There were some things I cringed at but I feel like I was suppose to because it's a love dating gameshow and I think they're suppose to be kind of cheesy.

[ --MUSIC/OST-- ]

I'm indifferent about the opening theme song but "Beyond the Wall" from Gabe Watskins is definitely a song I added to my playlist. It really sets a tone and fits the theme of the series of finding something real/better beyond the artificial bubble we live in.

[ --REWATCH VALUE-- ]

It's a great first watch. It's also short enough that I can be re-watched and I might if they come out with a sequel. Otherwise, I think once is enough for me unless someone I know watches it, then I don't mind watching it again with them.

[ --FINAL THOUGHTS-- ]

Dystopian series are usually pretty bleak so I really enjoyed the silliness of this one while still touching on some much sadder topics. I would definitely recommend this and I do hope they come out with another season. I feel like there is still a lot of stories to be told in this universe.

-------------------------------------------
● NOTE
-------------------------------------------

I'll always conclude my review by saying that ratings and reviews is not really a indicator of whether you may enjoy something. We all have different criteria and standards. Don't let a bad rating, review, or comment discourage you from watching something. My advice will always be to give something a chance if the premise interests you, and only use the ratings/reviews to determine priority if you have a list, or if you're deciding if you want to continue it due to time limitations.

Ready, Set, Go watch this !!

I decided to watch this because I saw it on Netflix and it looked fun. Everything you expect from the trailers and promo is what you get! More than that, there is a deeper story beneath that.

For what this show is I found it to be really fun. It’s a reality-game-show and whoever wins comes out with a husband. The idea is, all the men are dwindling down so it’s a huge event for this show to take place every year. Think hunger-games or squid games, but less dying and more fun and men.

To me, this drama excels beyond that main premise. I found myself staying entertained through the whole run, and I think that’s due to several things. The story is great and it doesn’t take itself too seriously with the melodramatic parts. In fact, it is so camp. It’s fun and colorful and funny also. The acting is amazing and everyone fits their role and is funny without being cringe. I loved Day, she was my favorite and is a female lead written so well. She’s fun, she’s got backbone, and she’s unapologetically herself. Lots of emphasis on the fun, she’s just great.

I love the sets and the colorful appeal, it’s got a certain style that’s sort of whimsical but carefully crafted to fit the game show appeal. Overall this drama exceeds what I thought it was and came together to be a very fun and entertaining watch. Enough so that I’d love a season 2!

Squid Game x Single’s Inferno

This is definitely one of the most well-produced Thai shows ever. The CGI, the editing, everything. It was so well-done. The camera work was amazing. Some of the shots were oddly close to the face, but overall it was so pretty.

It felt like a light-hearted squid game as a dating show. Personally, I loved it.
Similarities to Squid Game:
- colorful
- parallel plot w game and what’s going behind the scenes
- policeman type role

This show was such a fun watch. The plot was very well-done, and the characters were so loveable. Even the second female leads were so nice when they’re usually made to be a bitch, which was nice for a change.

Sun is so fuckkng hot. Like, I actually cannot comprehend how handsome he is. Nobody can convince me that man is Thai because he looks hella Korean or some shit. He’s so fine it hurts to look at him sometimes.

Val is definitely one of my fav side characters. She was such a badass. Her vibe was giving girl crush.


** major spoiler section **

So, I guess they could have a season 2 of this, but, honestly, I feel satisfied with the ending they gave in this one. If they were to have another season, I’m guessing the Farm would be after their son, so they have to get rid of it once and for all.
