Netflix recently announced a reboot of the hit Thai series "Girl From Nowhere," renamed "Girl From Nowhere: The Reset," with Thai-British actress Rebecca Armstrong ("Becky") reprising her role as Nanno, an immortal, vengeful entity who takes the form of a high school student. This marks a turning point, as the character was previously inextricably linked to actress Chicha Amatayakul ("Kitty"), who starred in the first two seasons.<\/p>\n
Rather than a traditional third season, the project presents itself as a reboot in a new universe, where Nanno reappears with amnesia and no direct connection to the events of the first two seasons, allowing for a fresh interpretation of the character. This creative freedom, however, has not been enough to appease fans, who remain deeply attached to the original version.<\/p>\n
The controversy intensified after Vogue Thailand released a "One Day With Becky" video on January 14th, in which actress Rebecca Armstrong spends a day in front of the camera, repeatedly embodying Nanno. She is seen altering her gestures, gaze, and tone of voice to portray the character's "psychopathic and disturbing" side.<\/p>\n
While the YouTube comments section of the video is generally positive, some users on X (formerly Twitter) deemed her acting "cringeful," particularly criticizing her facial expressions and her ability to project a genuinely unsettling aura. Some even went so far as to call it a "downgrade" compared to actress Chicha Amatayakul, who starred in the first two seasons, or wondered what "connections" she might have had to land such a high-profile role. <\/p>\n
