Lovely writer: review ( no spoilers )

Hello – hello my little faces. The Lovely Writer series ( also known as “Lovely Writer: The series” ) is based on the book of the same title ( original title: Nap Sip Cha Chup ). It is Thai production of 2021.

The main character of the series is the young writer Gene. It all starts when his publisher asks him to try to write something different and almost forces him to have his next book be BL ( Boys Love ). Without having many options, Gene accepts the offer and not only writes his first BL book but also becomes a huge success.

With countless sales and a huge fan base, the next step comes from a production company that wants to bring its book to the small screen as a series. The procedures for the first stages of production begin, when the 20-year-old Nubsib appears in the room for the audition of the protagonist, and intends to win the role at any cost.

My thoughts:

The series is quite well written and although the focus is on the relationship between the two protagonists, it goes deeper into other more important things. It shows how the media and production companies impose on their actors and writers a way of life that they have not chosen themselves.

It makes huge references to how toxic a large part of the fans are and that with their actions they not only affect the personal life of the actors / singers etc but also their mental health. The message it wants to convey is clear and I am glad because usually in Asian series something so serious is not mentioned.

In the last years, however, more and more series are trying to clarify things to their fans. Actors ARE NOT their characters. And this series makes it absolutely clear.

The series consists of one season with 12 episodes lasting about 1 hour each and is available on its official YouTube channel with english subtitles. Rumor has it that the series will have a second season, but this has not been confirmed yet.

It’s a 7.3/10 from me.
