The upcoming Thai romantic comedy series, “Ready, Set, Love,” directed by Yanyong Kuruangkura, promises an exciting blend of romance, comedy, and a unique game show concept set in an alternate reality. In this world, women outnumber men, while men are regarded as “national treasures.”
The plot revolves around a government-sponsored game show in which women compete for the attention of these distinguished men. Day, played by Kemisara “Belle” Paladesh, is an ordinary woman who unexpectedly finds herself participating in this unusual competition. As she navigates the challenges, she meets Son, played by Pongtiwat “Blue” Tangwancharoen, one of the five eligible bachelors, which leads to a captivating love story.
Yanyong Kuruangkura, known for his work on “App War” and “Back to the 90s,” instilled creative art direction in the series, envisioning a world where everyday scenarios take on a distinct and colorful spin. The attention to detail, such as car design and societal attitudes, adds depth to the visual story.
Beyond the surface of lighthearted romance and humor, “Ready, Set, Love” delves into mystery and conspiracy while also exploring themes of freedom and feminism. Yanyong emphasizes the importance of freedom in the series, stating that it allows people to love freely while remaining true to their gender identity.
The director’s intent is clear: to entertain the audience. Regardless of the underlying themes, Yanyong wants viewers to fully enjoy the six-episode series. “Ready, Set, Love” promises to be a vibrant and engaging romantic comedy that provides not only laughs but also moments of reflection on societal norms.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, mark your calendars for February 15, when “Ready, Set, Love” debuts exclusively on Netflix. Prepare for a fun and colorful journey into a world where love reigns supreme and every element in each scene contains a deeper meaning that begs to be explored.
