It was fun but not mind blowing.

I sadly couldn't find this movie in top quality so I will not judge it based on its quality. It's from 2014 after all. Anyways, I quite liked this movie. It was really fun but I did get bored through the ending of the movie. I loveeeee this losers in love trope and I feel like 'May Who?' really done that right.

The movie itself is extremely original, with the plot being about May Nai who has 'super powers'. What I liked the most about the movie is instead of making her a super hero like character, they showed her struggles. She was disappointed in herself multiple times and I love how Pong always cheered her up. Him drawing her to cheer her up was just soooo adorable. I genuinely can't believe it took them that long to realise their feelings.

I feel like there was a lack on the relationship side. Both Pong and May were interested in someone else, but their love for each other was really undeniable. At some point towards the ending of the movie I was actually thinking Pong and May would stay friends and that the movie was about friendship. I have to admit I really enjoyed May and Fame, but not Pong and Mink. May and Fame had obviously returning feelings for each other, meanwhile ever since the beginning it was clear that Mink had no interest in Pong. I was excepting May and Fame to end up together. I have to admit that I didn't trust Fame at first because he seems a bit like a play boy who just tries to play with other people their feelings.,

I really like how they used the combination of 3d art and traditional art. Pong can for real draw extremely good and I love his art style. I also like how he expressed himself a lot through his art. The 3d parts were really fun and not 'weird looking' at all. It felt like I was taken into the story of the drawing itself.

Crazy how much I've seen off the actors without realising. I've seen Punpun Sutatta in a lot of series and I actually am a big fan of Tor Thanapob, he was amazing in spare me your mercy. The director Moo Chayanop also has made amazing movies like the red envelope and Suck Seed. I actually already recognised the style of Suck Seed a bit through the poster, that was also my reason for watching this movie. For the rest, I did not recognise much of the cast, which I normally do with Thai series/movies and I really like getting to know some new actors.

That ending was fun and it feels very open. I mean they do try to kinda make it clear that Pong and May choose each other but you could always think the other way around. Whether they end up together or not, this is an amazing movie on friends > lovers. I really like this. Yes, my review is a bit low but that's probably because the movie is not for my age and it did bore me at some point.
