Pong rediscovered himself
...Or some wise director rediscovered Pong. Because this veteran actor, who i'm a fan of, never looked better. His acting is glorious, and so are his looks - he totally looks no older than 30. How did that happen? I've wondered for a bit but decided that i dont care, he just looks young and handsome and totally into the character...
The FL is good enough, nothing spectacular, nothing to blame in particular. It's the ML who carries the show. The secondary cast is spot on, though - again - nothing remarkable. Maybe a mention for the villain.
The lakorn is back!! The old tropes - girl in debt, misunderstandings, saving the girl, macho man etc - are all here, but they are done beautifully. Modern touch? Of course, but in a shallow way... We still get the same wrist-grabbing and woman abuse and primary vs secondary wife, but who cares? We're here for the tropes! Less angst than expected though.
Dont expect realism - our heroes fall off the cliff and not a single hair is out of place! And they wake up to a tropical paradise too, with food, water, fire, a knife (!) and love-making...
I enthusiastically give this a 10 !
