Dystopie entraînante saupoudrée de comédie, romance et thriller

Au départ, je pensais voir une sorte de drame thaï usant d'un jeu télévisé stupide avec des personnages sans saveur, mais Ready Set Love s'est avéré bien plus intéressant. Je n'ai pas vu les bandes-annonces ou quoi que ce soit d'autre. Je me suis lancée à l'aveugle avec comme seul indice le résumé de Netflix. Et quelle aventure loufoque et entraînante !

On suit Day, une jeune femme (décrite comme ordinaire) qui est tirée au sort pour participer à la septième saison du jeu télévisé pensé par le gouvernement : « Ready, Set, Love ». Un jeu dans lequel les femmes s'affrontent pour se rapprocher d'un des cinq prétendants en jeu. Une chose en entraînant une autre, la vérité derrière le mur impeccable de la Ferme s'effrite pour laisser entrevoir une réalité bien plus moche.

C'était amusant de découvrir l'univers ultra coloré qui m'a rappelé Hunger Games pour le côté très excentrique et Squid Game pour la DA et l'ambiance générale qui se dégage. La série exploite pas mal de thématiques (l'élitisme, la liberté et la maternité en tête de liste). Dans un monde où les hommes sont rares (plus de quatre ans viennent de passer sans qu'aucune naissance de garçons ne soit enregistrée), la maternité devient une thématique forte. L'annonce d'un garçon à naître est une grande nouvelle à l'échelle mondiale. Le fait de ne pas avoir de cause connue quant à la soudaine diminution de naissance masculine n'est pas un problème. D'une certaine façon, la source originale n'est pas la quête principale. J'ai aimé le choix de se concentrer sur l'intrigue actuelle et ne pas s'encombrer du reste.

Tous les personnages étaient bons. De Blue et sa belle gueule, jusqu'à Man et son sourire charmant (d'ailleurs, j'ai été ravi de le retrouver ici). Max et sa haine du tissu qui touche la peau de son torse (le personnage est ridiculement drôle). Day et ses convictions de fille ordinaire ayant grandi dans le « vrai monde ». Ou encore Chanel qui peut, à la première impression, être toute désignée comme la garce du podium, mais s'avère bien plus intéressante que ça (et de toute façon, ce n'est pas vraiment une garce). On s'attache à eux sans trop se forcer. Les choses se font naturellement.
Derrière les personnages, les acteurs et actrices qui étaient excellents, principaux ou secondaires. Rien à redire sur ce point.

En raison de son format de 6 épisodes, le dernier s'accélère et prend une tournure plus sombre et tire sur les dernières ficelles dramatiques. L'histoire se termine avec une petite ellipse pour nous donner un léger aperçu de l'après. Cependant, Netflix restant Netflix, une scène pré-générique nous laisse apercevoir une possibilité de suite. Elle pourrait être intéressante, mais cela dépendra des choix des scénaristes.

En bref, derrière son générique peu flatteur, Ready Set Love s'amuse des apparences tout en ayant réussi le mélange bien dosé entre dystopie, comédie, romance et thriller.

Fast, Fun, and Full of Surprising Characters

From the trailer and promo images, you would think this was a bit of comedy fluff but it's actually a dystopian thriller full of character development disguised as a rom-com.

The story is simple on the surface: for some reason there are hardly any men in the world, so the government gathered them all into a place called The Farm and basically raffles a few off every year through a reality competition show called Ready, Set, Love. Our leads are all involved in this show as competitors and production staff, and it becomes clear very quickly that the game is not only rigged, but also hiding some really, really dark truths.

In the middle of this game we have our leads, Day and Son, who trace the path of dislike to friendship to love quickly but with real sweetness. There's several drama tropes thrown at them, but the actors and the story make it all work in an adorable fashion.

Alongside Day we have her best friend, Va, who is working on the show with an ulterior motive. I loved her character and her family's story, sad as it was. Day also deals with two rival competitors, Chanel and Bovy. These two are great - just when I was worried they'd become the typical villainess and airhead friend, they surprised me with complexity and emotional depth. Chanel's story was, to me, especially touching and I was so glad when she got to make her own choice and thrilled by the decision she went with.

Son's friends are the other men who are the prizes in the game show, and three of them (Paper, Almond, and Max) have really interesting stories of their own. It's impossible to praise them much more without major spoilers, but each one had a personal journey that was well written and acted. They each broke my heart a little and their brotherhood was lovely.

My favourite character, though, was Jenny. She's the show runner for the reality game and her story, her relationship with her wife, and her choices throughout the series had me completely entranced. I love, love, love Jenny.

There production values of the show were insane - particularly the reality show competition elements, which were so elaborate. I don't watch that kind of show so I found some of those sequences kind of bizarre, but I appreciated them in how the showcased the characters. I am also new to Thai dramas, so the occasional exaggerated acting was jarring for me but it wasn't too frequent.

I will happily rewatch this show in the future, presumably ahead of the second season that was teased in a little mid-credit scene.

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

Bizarre, but enjoyable and deeper than expected

I enjoyed watching this drama a lot. I started watching because I like that Thai dramas often don’t take themselves too seriously. And the story starts in the most hilariously bonkers way. It takes, however, a turn into a much more serious direction around the middle of the episodes. It is not easy to review this drama without giving spoilers because I think it is best to watch it without knowing too much about it. There is a much darker and bitterer story about power abuse, exploitation, social injustice and political oppression lying underneath the poppy colors and glossy surface of “Ready, Set, Love”, and the drama barely touches the surface of these issues. It is mainly about romance, friendship and simply watching the eye candy actors interact. But it is very well paced and finds a nice balance between romance, entertainment, humor, thriller and tragedy and above all gives food for thought about what could really happen in a world where men are this rare that they are considered ‘national treasures’.

More than a fun adventure

At first, when I've heard this serie, I didn't expected anything and I thought it could be a funny romantic drama and I wanted to discover the cast since I only know some names (the two main leads, Blue and Belle and by the way they are cute together) but haven't watched their series except for Man TrIsanu with Step By Step and 6ixty 9ine the series. I could feel it was cringy and strange but I still wanted to give it a try like, why not? Let's watch something fun.

I was partially wrong because I didn't thought I would really like it so much, it was entertaining to watch (maybe because at that time I wasn't feeling down so it cheered me up with their sillyness LOL)
I binge-watched the 4 episodes but I thought, the last two episodes have some small moments or scenes that felt a bit too long or it's me but overall, I love the pace, the acting was good, the storytelling, it was not only funny but also interesting to watch! It has some mystery, thriller vibes as well.

And the soundtracks are really good, groovy and chill to listen especially Beyond the Wall, my favorite!

Ok so, Ready, set, love is a really nice short dystopian drama and I wouldn't mind if they plan to make a sequel

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.
