CANT. READ. THAI!!! |
The Plot is pretty typical, your average Ugly Duckling and Handsome prince structure. Except unlike other movies it's pretty easy to relate to this girl. Trying so hard to impress her crush which included a totally random transformation (it just randomly happened, and I was liek WTF).
Nam is your typical ugly chick (as I'm typing this I actually finished the blog but Blogger fucked up and I lost my draft) who hangs with a group of equally as loser friends (apparently they're losers because they're tanned and it's considered beautiful in Thailand to look Chinese rather than Indonesian). They all fangirl over the hot senior guys. Nam in particular has a huuuuge crush on Shon who is a soccer player/photographer prettyboy in grade 10. Nam does all these creepy things including keeping a shirt button he dropped as a lucky charm (she even TALKS to it!), stalking him everywhere and calling him up just to hear his voice... JUST REALLY CREEPY STUFF OKAY?

The ending was slightly rushed, awkward and weird. I won't spoil it for you. But jokes aside, in my opinion... Nam is like every single teenage girl who likes their hot seniors who seem unreachable out there. This girl put in so much effort in getting the guy she likes (Ultimate Fangirl) and in the end these efforts did have their pros and cons, and yes, it's a happy ending so I'll just leave it there. The movie almost ENCOURAGES girls to be creepy and obsessive like her, and tells us that it'll eventually work. And sadly, as much as the movie gives us things to imagine about... being obsessive over this one guy and leaving everything else in life aside ain't worth it and let's face it, ASIF the guy your like will 100% secretly crush on you at the same time. So as unrealistic and life-irrelevant as this movie can be, I guess it still creates possible daydreams for everyone. Namely me, whom in my own opinion when judged by myself is quite creepy.
So defs go watch this movie! I think it's really good despite the clicheness, cliche, but unique in its own way?
