Irritating FL and very fast paced
TW: mentions of su1cide in the movie.
I normally don't care that much about the acting but rather the story and the making of it. But for this movie the issues issues really was the personality of the FL. Maybe my rating would've been higher if I liked the FL... This is not meant as attack towards Toey Jarinporn. Aside from my irritation on Mesa I do have to admit that this story was really cute, especially the moments between Ben and Mesa. I was afraid to start this movie. Anything that says Netflix makes me afraid. Maybe I should cut this crap and just accept that Netflix does make good/average stuff.
From the beginning on I shipped Mesa and Ben but Tul wasn't really in my mind. I knew Mesa had a different partner but it was really obvious something between them would happen. The break up was way too early for me to give a fuck and that also kinda ruined how I saw the movie. It was too rushed, to the point where I hadn't really had the time to build empathy for Mesa. I just preferred Ben, he's tuff.
Mesa really pissed me off. It was the overreactions and the slightly high classed/pick me conversations. Instead of thinking the actress is bad, I think this was meant to be. Actually her acting was amazing and I think it really was done with a reason. I don't remember the name of the characters, I think it was Min. But from Min's actions it was clear that she had the exact same idea about her as I do. I think the reason she was stuck in this loop also had to do with her ignoring her surroundings and being self centred. Even though I feel heavily irritated by her, I love the expressions she made. They reallyyyy reminded me of Cooheart. What I also found impressive and really nice is how Toey her English is understandable, which is rare given it's a Thai series.
I actually realllyyy liked Great Warintorn and idk why but something about him makes me blush like he's amazing. His smile makes me shy like bro what. Barely any actors do such a great job at giving me that reaction. I should definitely watch more of his series/movies. I've also seen Man Trisanu before in step by step and I really liked him as actor, he's amazing. I am a bit disappointed in his role as Tul but the story of Tul in general made 0 sense aside from him trying to break up with Mesa all the time.
As someone with French blood, I really love how this movie was shitting on us. I love how they included all sorts of tourists including Japanese and French. The French family being portrayed as loud and rude was so funny to me and I really don't mind. The kid was so annoying as well like omg I would've had such an urge to slap that kid if I was Mesa. I know Thailand has a lot of issues with tourists absolutely disrespecting rules and I'm just really happy they 'addressed' this.
The styling and colours are amazing. Somehow just every shot feels right. And Mesa's outfits??? Hello??? She is sooo beautiful. I have 2 other movies from Suea Yanyong on my list and I really do wanna watch them now. The poster absolutely fits what I was thinking about the show. I'm not usually interested in composers, however, it is super nice that they had Phil Chapavich compose. He did amazing work in the Next prince.
Another small thing I disliked was the ending made. It no sense to me I'm so sorry. I get who she ended up with etc but I feel like it was overall rushed and just confusing. I have to admit that I personally am not the biggest fan of movies because I feel like series give a more in depth feeling of the story. This is my first time making such a long review on a movie and I wouldn't call it necessarily good. I'm not sure what to think. I'm a big fan of the production but less on the story. I would say it's quite mid.
