Jaifu Story (2022)

"I like this ending" - Bua

Diaw, a script writer who visits hospital for his mother, also had a deadline for a movie project, but he got writer's block, at least in the beginning; then a girl named Bua showed up and expressed interest in his script; then she read every story while they showed us the live action.

I feel like each of these stories is like Diaw's progress in responding to this thing called a Happy Ending: as he didn't like happy ending, he thinks no one knows how someone's life will end and no one always get happy ending. Each time Bua finished reading the script, she came up with a comment, criticism, and piece of advice that somehow fit the state of the film at the time and actually helped the film to get better as the duration goes, and satisfying in the end.

The stories itself is typical Thai rom-com; it's funny, heartfelt, sad, and so on, but as I said earlier, two or three of the stories in the script are crappy because of how Diaw handles the ending, but the fourth, and his own, is good.

The other thing that makes me like this film is the cast. This film has so many familiar faces that have grown fondly on me, and as someone who hasn't watched Thai film/show lately, I'm so thrilled to see them, especially the Hormones The Series graduates and my baby, Mintira. I miss them so much.

I think that's all I want to type. Thanks.
