March Manussita Jarusasi as Sai
The Scene-Stealer of Love Upon A Time
If there were an award for the character who most successfully steals the audience's attention in Love Upon A Time, March would definitely be at the top of the list. Even though she appears as a supporting character (a palace servant), March proves that no role is too small when it is brought to life with soul.
The Definition of "Endel" with Class
The most fitting word to describe Sai is endel. In Javanese, it refers to someone who is playful or flirtatiously expressive, but in March's hands, this trait never feels annoying. Instead, Sai's endel nature becomes a refreshing source of comedy.
Facial Expressions
March has an exceptional ability to play with expressions. From those slightly 'judgy' yet amusing glances to her cheeky smile when reacting to the situations around her.
Body Language
The way Sai sits, moves, and responds to conversations feels incredibly natural while still maintaining that sassy edge. She brings life into every scene she appears in.
More Than Just a Servant
Usually, servant characters in period dramas exist merely as background complements. However, Sai carries a strong persona. She almost becomes a representation of us as the audience, her reactions to sweet or tense moments between the main characters often mirror exactly what we feel behind the screen.
Conclusion
March successfully gives Sai a unique identity. Her visuals, perfectly matched with traditional Thai attire, combined with expressive acting, make Sai more than just a palace servant, she is a true scene-stealer whose presence we always look forward to.
Character Rating:(5/5) The Ultimate Scene Stealer!
March, how do you manage to portray Sai with such perfectly crafted body language?
