Found a hidden gem
This drama truly a hidden gem (well atleast for me). I just tried to watch some dramas -other than k-dramas and one of my friend suggest this drama. And omg, it's sooooo cool.Chicha is so pretty, maybe that's what made this girl perfect for Nanno role. The story is different for each episode. Making this series even better, because you dont have to rewatch the previous episodes. I tend to drop some drama that I'm currently watching and continuing it the other day after I finished like 2 drama.
U guys should watch it, but bcs this drama contain a lot of violence, and might be a bad influence for some ppl. I suggest you to brace ur heart (?) And for 18 y.o or older.
By the way I'm waiting forward to the 2nd season!

Gives off Tomie and Black Mirror vibes.
If you've read "Tomie" by Junji Ito I think you'll enjoy this show. It gives off the same vibes and they even look similar. It feels like they have taken influence from Tomie but I'm not sure if that's true. Just as Tomie mysteriously appears and causes mayhem, so too does Nanno, but just in schools.I love mysterious, psychological type of shows so if you are into that I recommend you watch this. Every episode has its own concept (Kinda like Black Mirror) and I personally found them all extremely enjoyable.
Theres a lot of suspense but not too much that its off-putting and the way it was shot and produced was just amazing and it really added to the tense atmosphere.
The one thing I did not like was that it was kind of extreme and at times I was a bit confused... but don't let that stop you from watching since its certainly worth watching!

Yes, this Lakorn is EXTREMELY NECESSARY
Whether you like it or not, this Lakorn is extremely necessary for many people! He deals with problematic issues in order to expose and take revenge on the students, and let's say that YES it happens enough in real life and I understand that.Our dear Nanno, like it or not is right in her attitudes and you cannot disagree because it is a fact!
There is no such thing as "she went too far" or "over the top", because people in real life do that or even worse.
If you haven't watched this Lakorn yet, I recommend watching it for you to see how the world is nowadays and also to see how much this Lakorn is EXTREMELY NECESSARY for you to watch it as soon as possible.

Innovative plot but the weak and illogical storyline will leave you perplexed.
Girl from nowhere features the manifestation or appearance of a mystical divine or superhuman being, named Nanno, whose aim was to target individuals and expose the evilness and hypocrisy of human beings, given the authority to judge and punish the wrongdoers. Nanno, which means Karma in Thai, is no different from Satan; a fallen angel who has lost hope in humanity. Given that right to judge and punish wrongdoers, the immortal is a self-proclaimed righteous that finds joy in proving and justifying her pessimism for human nature. She schemes, tempts and leads her targets into committing the worst aspect of crimes she believes will eventually happen anyway. This elucidates her often misjudgement as well as the unlawful, unethical, and unjustifiable punishment of the wrongdoers. Nanno isn't the angel portrayed in the first few episodes, albeit her soft spot for the boy who was willing to sacrifice his life for her. The scriptwriter tries to create that audience interest in the introduction by utilising a narrator and dialogue to create an emotional attachment to the protagonist before revealing her unacceptable behaviour in the later episodes. Her behaviour in the later episodes is going to leave you perplexed. Is she here to actually punish the wrongdoers and bring justice? Or is she here to create chaos by adding oil to fire? Audiences that decide to give Nanno's unacceptable behaviour a benefit of the doubt will, mostly, at this point drop the series with confusion. Because you will never be able to understand the purpose of her existence until towards the end of season 2, where they introduce Yuri. Yuri's existence is going to challenge Nanno's beliefs, judgement and her ways of punishing those in the wrong, causing her to doubt herself and losing her resilience. You need to infer and accept that Nanno is not actually a nice person from the beginning before they actually reveal it towards the end. Otherwise, you are going to dislike and reject her to the point of dropping and missing out on the main point of the series.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

cause karma is my boyfriend.....
Girl From Nowhere was the first Thai drama I watched, and I really enjoyed the concept of karma. It made me reflect on the wrong decision Nanno made when she punished that girl—she didn’t deserve it. I felt that her judgment wasn’t fair. Each episode is a new story, which keeps the show fresh and engaging without feeling repetitive. I've watched it twice already, and I’d definitely watch it again.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Couldn't like it as much as I wanted to
Sounded really interesting and it was quite popular so I wanted to give it a try. Nanno is a really unique character that I've never seen in any other dramas so that was probably the reason I was so captivated. Some stories are amazing, and some arenot. One thing that bothered me is that we never got to see Nanno's backstory or anything. I know some people are fond of "Who is Nanno?" mystery and so was I, but I also don't like not knowing anything about Nanno at all. Some episodes are a little bizzare and aren't realistic at all. There is a lesson with every episodes but some of them could've been done better in proving the point. The music and acting of the main lead is very good. Rest is kinda mid. If I were to ever rewatch this, I'd probably skip some episodes cause non of them correspond to the last.

REVIEW
A very interesting drama. It was complicated to watch sometimes because it wasn’t a story, a scenario that follows in each episode. There is a scenario ofc but you have a different situation in each episodes. So if you like this type of series it’s perfect. The scenario is very interesting and some topics are discussed and some points, some scene are disputable, questionable . So you should watch it and make your own opinion about it. In my opinion the acting was very great. Sometimes it was also difficult to watch some scenes because i’m sensitivite a little bit. If you like revenge series i think you might enjoy watching it but as a person who usually like this type of series i was not happy or i was not smiling when i was watching the scenes bc for me it wasn’t the mood ig. (nor saying that it was bad i just didn’t have the same experience watching it than when u watch a typical revenge series bc it was not the same mood, ambiance yk) But i recommend it!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Most of the Thai dramas I watch are spicy melodramas. Every now and then, I find something I enjoy that makes an impression on me, such as Kluen Cheewit. I wouldn't list The Girl from Nowhere as one of my favorites, but this is definitely one of the lakorns I like because I feel that the over-the-top behavior of the characters actually works here. I don't think the stories are meant to be realistic but that they are supposed to show an exaggerated version of human depravity in extreme situations. Something about the atmosphere in these stories, along with the main character, reminded me of a horror manga by Junji Ito. I thought Nanno was very charismatic and that the actress playing her (Chicha Amatayakul) was very entertaining. She reminded me a little bit of the Joker or Harley Quinn, only that her character mostly toys with those who are in the side of wrong. I don't think she's meant to be a good character either, but maybe a chaotic neutral.
I also like how the cast of supporting characters, from Claudia Chakrabandhu (Thank You Teacher) to Teeradon Supapunpinyo (Pregnant), performed well to the point that I didn't mind when Nanno was offscreen. Another thing that worked in this type of drama is that each episode had a different story and sometimes one story would take up two or three episodes, so they didn't have to be watched in order. The whole experience for me was like watching a horror anthology comic come to life and I don't even like horror.
There were certain plot points which dragged some of the stories down a notch. I liked Wonderwall for instance, but I could easily find a solution to the problem which didn't involve one of the characters wishing everything away. Some episodes in the second season were also boring and repetitive. Overall, the first season seemed better than the second...although there were some good episodes in the latter, like Minnie and the Four Bodies. I don't mind the introduction of Yuri as a rival for Nanno in the second season but I got kind of annoyed that it had to end in a cliff hanger!
Another thing I dislike is the series' old-fashioned attitude towards cheating in relationships. I felt that the writing would often blame the women involved but put the guy-in-between (the one who actually cheated) on a pedestal. There were some situations, like in the BFF episode- where a guy would send flowers to two girls at the same time and in the same room (his girlfriend and the girl he was cheating with), but the story seemed to blame the women involved without questioning his behavior.
Other than that, I think this is one of the better lakorns. I feel pleasantly surprised that Thailand decided to make something like this because I feel that Japan ought to be the one doing it, given all the content they have in their manga to base it on.

Serie.
O serie demn de urmarit. Chiar din primele episoade mi-o sarit in ochi actrita ce o joaca pe Nanou, si mai ales pe parcursul serii simteam tot mai tare ca se potriveste asa bine pentru acest rol. Din pacate am terminat si sezonul 1&2 intr-un timp foarte scurt si parca nici nu m-am bucurat prea tare de film.Imi place enorm faptul ca plot-ul povestii are legatura, si lucrurile ciudate ce se intampla au o reactiune candva/cumva. Desigur, mai ales anumite easteregg-uri si anumite intrebari ce ti le lasa seria, o face in sine mai speciala.
N-o sa mint, dupa aceasta serie am in gand sa vizitez Thailanda. Se presupune ca in 2023 sa apara noul sezon... pana atunci am urmarit fan-paginile de Facebook/Instagram ale actritei si filmului in sine si speram sa apara un news in curand.

The first episode was really engaging for me but I think it drag out as it goes. I like that per episode there is a different storyline. There are stories that is about 2 episodes long but eventually the stories are for me unique. Maybe because it is a Thai drama which is so different from what I would usually watch. It's nice but there are episodes that I don't like. Hoping to see the second season soon if I had the time.

Not For the Faint of Heart!
Here's the thing I want to mention about this drama, it's forcing you to see the world through its eyes. It's taking you the extremes of human depravity. I don't see a single hint of anyone condoning this kind of depraved behavior in the show. But, I can understand if people don't find it an easy Watch.However, I love how they've portrayed Social Issues, I love Nanno, and I love, love, love gorey thrillers, so this was AMAZING for me. It has a teeny teeny teeny tiny bit of romance. and that's just it. that's it. And, I love that.
Honestly, I'm here for this drama, because it did change my mind about a few things.
Anyway, watch it with caution, definitely not for those who are faint of heart or are scared of blood. But, if you like a strong, unwavering, and unemotional female lead as a narrator, you truly will love this!

GIRL FROM NOWHERE
The series was quite interesting and pretty surprising for me. (Here is my review!)In Season 1, we could see how Nanno was presented as a powerful and strong woman who had no flaws but falling into Season 2, you can notice the character had a lot of changes, this could be including her emotions following on the end episodes 7, 8, where you can clearly see Nanno had more than a straight face then she used to always have. I would also like to say, Season 1 was incredibly amazing. The acting and production was extremely good and they were the reasons why I wanted to carry on watching this series. Season 2 was a bit unexpected, especially when Yuri the new character joined in. At first, I thought Yuri would join forces with Nanno but I guess that was the opposite.
In Season 2, Yuri is presented as more of a harsh and fast/strong woman. Yuri tends to do things but she doesn't realise she's also causing pain to the innocents. I would like to say that in my opinion, I really hate her character. For example, in SEASON 2 EP 4, Nanno was trying to help Yuri but instead Yuri betrayed her and did things her own way. But turned out, Yuri's plan backfired and she was almost killed.
I would also like to add, notice how every mistake Yuri made, Nanno always had to fix it? For example, SEASON 2 EP 6, Yuri cornered all the teachers and forced them to write confession notes. This only led one of the students killing the teacher because he was frustrated. (New and Miss A). I think Yuri also forgot about the headteacher as well which is why the students had to obey the teachers at one point. But it all ended when the 4 Nanno's came in the school hall and ended it.
Now, I also don't want to say Yuri is the main villian, (even though she is lol)) but I would also like to add that Nanno was also being quite stupid as well, especially in Season 2 EP 7 when Nanno completely ruined Jane. Even Jane's question really hit Nanno, "Did you have to go that far?" Since then I'm pretty sure Nanno will have a huge personality development since she will finally understand how people actually feel, (mainly talking about Jane)
MY EXPECTATIONS AND PREDICTIONS FOR SEASON 3
So there's no doubt there will be Season 3, but there are a few things I would like to happen.
-Nanai might visit Nanno again with their child.
- TK (SEASON 1) and Nanno reunion.
- Jane's revenge on Nanno (maybe help by Yuri)
- Nanno actually collecting some emotions
- Nanno's past and how she got these immortal powers.
In conclusion to all of this, I would give a strong 9/10 with the both series. The main thing we need to point out is that both personalities of Nanno and Yuri are quite unique and different. Nanno tends to give karma to people who really deserves it while Yuri brings revenge into people with killing and trying to end and kill Nanno.
Baiiii!!
