Sat 2 Mon (Saturday Night to Monday Morning)

Rate 6.9/10

Cast

• Ungsumalynn Sirapatsakmetha as Pen
• Dan Worrawech as Chuod
• Niranath Victoria Coates as Tonlieu
• Kavee Tanjararak as Pokpong

Chuod (Worrawech) falls in love at the first sight with Tonlieu (Coates) as she walks past him. He wants to get closer to her, but he doesn't know how. Then, he asks for help to Tonlieu's bestfriend, Pen (Ungsumalynn). However, he fails miserably even with Pen's help. When suddenly his grandmother falls ill, he asks for Pen's help for the last time to become his girlfriend from Saturday night until Monday morning (his grandmother wants to see his girlfriend). Pen agrees because she wants to get rid of him asking her for help every single day. Their fake relationship starts here.

This movie is disappointing for me. I have high expectation because Thai romance comedies are usually the best, they're hilarious from the start until the very end. But this one's not even funny. Their chemistry seems off and forced, you can see that they're acting. The plot is weak and weird, the situations that makes them together looks way too unnatural. The characters are also weak, and the side characters seem like they were thrown there just to add some other characters with no purpose at all. They're, sadly, meaningless to the movie. The ending makes sense, and that's the only good thing about the movie.If you're looking for a good laugh, I don't recommend this one.

Ladda Land (The Lost Home)

Rate 7/10

Cast

• Saharat Sangkapreecha as Thee
• Piyathida Woramusik as Parn
• Sutatta Udomsilp as Nan
• Athipich Chutiwatkajornchai as Nat

Thee (Saharat Sangkapreecha), a father of two, finds a new job in Chiang Mai. He moves from Bangkok with his family to a new house in Ladda Land, a beautiful housing estate with large houses and a lively neighborhood. His wife and son are happy to move in the new house, but it's the exact opposite for his daughter, Nan (Suttata Udomsilp). She's upset for leaving Bangkok and her friends despite her father's effort to make her happy. Everything's going well until they find out that their neighborhood is not as ordinary as it seems.

A horror movie with a hint of drama. The beginning is a little bit slow and keeeps me wondering 'Is it really a horror movie?'. But worry not, as the story progress, terrifying events start to unveil and it finally shows its real story. It's good, frightening, without lots of jump-scare from the ghosts. The only flaw is that there are some weird events which unexplained until the end of the movie (e.g. the robber). Overall, it's good but it might be not good enough for horror movie fans who look for a constant fear.

ATM Error

Rate 8/10

Cast

• Chantavit Dhanasevi as Sua
• Preechaya Pongthananikorn as Jib

Just as the title says, this is a movie about an ATM having an error. Sua (Chantavit) and Jib (Preechaya) are employees in a bank. The company where they're working at doesn't allow its employees to have romantic relationship. But Sua and Jib have already secretly dating for 5 years. Wanting to get married, one of them have to resign from the job. But neither of the two are willing to resign. To solve this problem, they make bet. Whoever can solve the ATM error trouble in the company first will be the winner and he/she doesn't need to resign. They never knew that the ATM error is not as simple as they thought.

One of my favorite Thailand actors, Chantavit Dhanasevi, is back! And he's as funny as always. This movie is one of the best romantic comedies. I love every moment of it. The actors are great, the plot is simple but amazing, everything mixes in flawlessly. I don't want to say too much, it will spoil the movie for you. Thailand sure knows how to make great romantic comedies.

Hormones The Series Season 2

Episodes : 13
Cast

• Pachara Chirativat as Win
• Ungsumalynn Sirapatsakmetha as Kwan
• Sutatta Udomsilp as Toei
• Chutavuth Pattarakampol as Phu
• Shiracuch Chientaworn as Mhog
• Gunn Junhavat as Tar
• Sananthacat Thanapatpisal as Dao
• Thanapob Leeratanakajorn as Phai
• Supassra Thanachat as Sprite
• Sedthawut Anusit as Thee
• Napat Chokejindachai as Pop
• Kemisara Paladesh as as Koi
• Thiti Mahayotaruk as Non
• Pearwah N. Chatchaipolrat as Kanompang
• Narikunn Ketprapakorn as Oil
• Teeradon Supapunpinyo as Sun
• Thanaerng Kanyawee as Jane

After the incident at the end of the first season, Win (Pachara) moves to U.S. Mhog (Shiracuch) develops new feelings for Kwan (Ungsumalynn) and Tar (Gunn), finally gains his own popularity, has a new fan girl, Kanompang (Pearwah). With everything that happened last year, their lifes once again, entangled.

Aside from the main characters from the first season, here are the new characters and some side characters in the first season that now becomes main characters.

• Thee (Sedthawut), a homosexual boy who has a difficulty forgetting his ex, Phu (Chutavuth). And there's a first year boy called Non (Thiti), who might have feelings for him.

• Pop (Napat), the school reporter whose sister joins in the school this year.

• Koi (Kemisara), Dao (Sananthachat)'s bestfriend who falls in love with Dao after being teased by her friends that they would be cute if they were a couple.

• Non (Thiti), Thee's new best friend who clings to him all the time.

• Kanompang (Pearwah), a fan of See Scape band who later falls in love with Tar. She's bright and cheerful and she hasn't showed her bad side yet.

• Oil (Narikunn), Kanompang's best friend, or so she thought. She seems quiet, but she wants attention more than anyone else.

• Sun (Teeradon),  a new vocalist of See Scape and Kanompang's classmate.

• Jane (Thanaerng), a girl who loves clubbing and happens to meet Win in U.S.

In my opinion, this series is not even close to the first season. The plot is far from good, there's no red line that connects all the characters and each story from each episode. There are too many unneccessary  side characters. And the new main characters are just so...plain. No strong backgrounds and some repeated plots. It got boring in the middle and the awaited main characters from the first season are rarely showed up. They got weaker stories and chaacteristics compared to the first season. I don't recommend you to watch this. Just stick to the first season only.

Hormones is a story about the life of nine teenagers with their problems. This series depict teenagers' issues from their points of view such as school violence, teenage sex, family matters, etc. Each episode tells the story of a character and his/her problems and how they deal with it. Here are the main characters :

• Win (Pachara Chirativat), a popular rebellious boy who somehow everyone follows. He doesn't care about anyone else and always has everything the way he wants it.

• Kwan (Ungsumalynn Sirapatsakmetha),  a smart girl who's always on the top of the class. She's seen as a "perfect" girl by her classmates. But, when a huge problem hits her, can she still stay perfect?

• Toei (Sutatta Udomsilp), a tomboy girl who has lots of male friends. This makes other girls accuse her of being a slut.

• Phu (Chutavuth Pattarakampol), a boy who's part of the marching band and plays saxophone. He is Toei's ex boyfriend. He's confused of his own sexual orientation when Thee, a male friend in marching band team, starts liking him.

• Mhog (Shiracuch Chientaworn), an introvert with an obsession in photography. He's a close friend of Win.

• Tar (Gunn Junhavat), a guitarist who's often overshadowed by his best friends' popularity, Win and Mhog.

• Dao (Sananthacat Thanapatpisal), an innocent first year who puts her fantasies of her own friends in an online romance novel. She has a very strict mother who'll become an issue later.

• Phai (Thanapob Leeratanakajorn), a bad boy whose days filled with fights with a rival school gang. He falls in love with Sprite who happens to be his gang leader's girlfriend.

• Sprite (Supassra Thanachat), a girl who's popular in school for being a slut. She has casual sex with her male friends even when she already has a boyfriend.

This series is very engaging despite its common theme : teenagers and their problems. It's interesting to see how very clueless they are when faced with romance issues, parents, friends, teachers. Just like how we're as teenagers, troubled and doesn't want anyone's help. To see each character deals with their problems and grow up is weirdly entertaining in this drama. I can relate with some of the characters. We always have those kind of people at school, the popular boy, the tomboy girl who every other girl seems to hate, the smart girl, the boys in a school gang. For me, it depicts teenage life perfectly, even when some parts are exaggerated.

Hello Stranger

Rate 8/10

Cast 

• Chantavit Dhanasevi as young man with the alias Dang
• Nuengthida Sophon  as young woman with the alias May

Hello Stranger tells the story of a boy and a girl who coincidentally meet on their vacation in South Korea. Without telling their names to each other, they decided to travel around together. Their vacation turns out to be hilarious while visiting famous tourism spots in Korea. But, just like every other stories, their time together was coming to an end. Would they ever tell their names to each other?

Hello Stranger is one of the very first Thai movies that I've watched. And I must say it was AWESOME! The story was very simple but it was truly entertaining. Lots and lots of hilarious events and the two main characters (Chantavit Dhanasevi and Nuengthida Sophon)have their own charms which is the reason why this movie is great. I love this movie a lot and if you're looking for a good romantic comedy without being too cheesy, then Hello Stranger is the answer.
