After watching how terrible the series turned out, it's good to know that the original work is actually good.

I don't really have a lot to say about it; actually, read my review on the drama and know that this movie is the complete opposite of that review.

My favorite thing about this movie is that it looks like independent films do. If you have ever seen some you'd probably agree that it's very different from movies with big productions. I kinda like this a little more because it creates a sense of intimacy that's hard to achieve from a lot of movies that are coming out today.

- Story: I feel like the fact that this is a movie and there is a time limit to it helped a lot to organize and focus on a specific thing instead of branching all over the place like the drama series did. While the drama focused on so many things at once making it a hard-to-watch mess, the movie mainly focused on Nam and Meuk's relationship. Thank you! It was such a change of pace that I found the movie to be quite a relaxing work to watch.

The pacing was slow but not in a bad way. It actually helped building up scenes that required a moment to absorb what was happening and the character's emotions. My only problem is that it was used a little too much and I would have preferred some more dialogue and explanation of their feelings rather than just silence from the scene.

- Acting: I just wanna say "YES!!!" This is acting, this is chemistry, this is believable! The movie in itself being the way it is played a big role in the chemistry of the characters, but I am glad to see that the actors themselves made it believable. To be honest with you, it felt like looking at real life friends living a normal life. That's exactly what I look from a drama/movie and what many are lacking.

I know Beam was good, but can we just talk about Ngern for a moment? How in the world did this actor disappeared from dramas?! He's such a natural! I wasn't a big fan of his role in Love Sick, but he totally flip the script over in this movie. Like, it is a shame we do not see him anymore and I need him. Is it because he's not considered to be attractive? Because that's bullshit. That guy, Earth (Waii in the series), isn't more attractive than him but people love him for no goddamn good reasons. The double standard...

Sis this show has EVERYTHING: Good cast, believable acting, solid script, them feels, gorgeous settings, good cinematographic, and chemistry between characters? In this economy? Well, yeah! Totally worth watching and rewatching, if you think about it.
