What a view | Netflix series Sing Again follows a singer whose dreams of stardom are dashed, by a shrimp, and who loses in love to twin idols
- Nara Thepnupa plays Piano, who dreams of becoming a singer but is stalled by a shellfish allergy at her audition
- Meanwhile, on BBC Earth, Life Below Zero: Canada season 2 follows people living off grid in the Canadian wilderness: hunting, fishing and chopping down trees
It’s difficult, having your dreams of stardom sabotaged by a shrimp.
But that’s the fate of wannabe singing sensation Piano (Nara Thepnupa) in series one of cheery Thai drama Sing Again (Netflix), an 18-episode tilt at making it big in the music business.
The irrepressible Piano fantasises about success, but her childhood ambitions founder on the rocks of reality at a talent agency try-out.
With the accidental consumption of said shrimp, Piano’s shellfish allergy strikes, croakily finishing her career before it starts. Or so it seems, until recruitment lightning strikes twice and she passes a second audition.
Complicating matters are twins and fellow musicians Sun (Talay Sanguandikul) and Sol (the rapper Saint), who have had feelings for Piano, their next-door neighbour, since before they knew what feelings were.
Sol turns out to be her chosen crush – but leaves Piano crushed when he defects to a rival agency’s boy band. There’s no minimum-age requirement when it comes to musical and emotional bust-ups.
