Light hearted without losing "Love Destiny's touch".

I'm not that great at writing reviews, but as Love Destiny (season 1) is my favorite and most rewatched lakorn yet, I felt like I had to give it a review from the point of view of someone who loves the franchise, the actors and mainly saw it for that reason.
Going into this I was expecting to find that Love Destiny touch that made me fall in love with season one, and despite the movie having very different feels from the series, i was still able to find that.
The movie is light hearted, it has many funny scenes which i appreciated, the costumes and production were amazing, and it had the right amount of mentions to their past lives.

First off I have to mention our two main character's personalities, for convenience i'll just call them bella and pope (the actors' names) because otherwise there'd be too many names to mention.
Pope's character in this one was refreshingly different from the series! He was very bright, definitely more modern, not only in the way he looks but specifically his demeanor, expressions, even the way he interacts with others seems new to me as opposed to the more stoic Pope that we've seen in season1, he knew what he wanted and went for it, he was super funny while maintaining his sweet/caring nature towards Bella, it was a nice change seeing him smile so often and it's definitely something that i would appreciate if it was incorporated into the actual sequel of love destiny (prom likit).
As for Bella's character, I'd say that a lot changed in her as well when compared to the series, for starters in this one she was a lady from the beginning of her life, she was accustomed to the ways of living of her time, and she didn't need anyone to guide her, as a result she looks much more confident and smart, but she has also maintained that curious nature that she has in the series.
I loved the new character, Methus, as well. They formed a nice trio and had a cute bond until the end, i liked how they worked together.
The time-travel plot was well structured, I enjoyed it quite a lot and by the end i was already very invested in it.

In general this movie is a great watch for anyone, but if you're like me and fell in love with the series first, then i'm sure you will at least enjoy this movie. Of course, you have to take into account that this isn't a follow up to what happened in the series, these are different lifetimes, a different period, so you should also see it with an open mind to the changes you'll notice.
Pope and Bella's chemistry is still the best in my opinion, and I felt super nostalgic when watching this, so I can't give it less than a 10.
