GDH ALWAYS ON THE TOP!!!
I've been waiting for this movie from several months since it released. And finally it's here online on an official platform.I thought the trailer already spoiled everything and I was a little suspecting if the movie will success to catch my attention. Whatever, it turned to be so good and more than what I expected. The plot seems too simple, but the emotions are too real to handle especially at the last part. Everyone's need to be remembered at his most beautiful picture! Maybe we just passed in each other life but still this slight passing could affect you somehow. It brings you a lot of childhood memories and makes you longing those old days.
I can say the acting of all the cast were a superb, especially Anthony as Pae. He was so good at You & Me & Me, but here he shows such a good acting skills full of emotions and energy. He's a real deal with a bright future and happy to discover about him from GDH movies.
Give it a chance! you will never be regret.

too good to miss
i watched the movie againThanks to the director who is also the film scriptwriter, the brilliant screenplay has interesting & touching twist and turns and great (sometimes even humourous) dialogue/movie lines.
it is really a great film about joe, the ingenious screenplay gradually reveal how the ordinary but sunny character guy is loved and missed by his friends and deeply by Bokeh around him
The main characters are all acting great. Tithiya shines in her acting as lovely Bokeh in the movie who has deep and subtle feeling for Joe.
Also tributes to the other supporting cast: the movie team, ohm, liew, moms of pae and joe, and the principal in the movie.
The film touches our heart as it entails puppy love and teenage/youthful times in school setting we all experience and treasure, other loving memory, things we yearn or pursue and hope for but missed, forgiveness, acceptance and other subtle feelings, even some philosophical issue like how we value a friend's worth
Lovely Bokeh learns to greet Pae with apology at the end of movie, i do not want to regret withholding my feeling for liking this great film and make apology later

"His life is just like a spark from fireworks"
If you haven't watched this - I'd recommend watching right away. Reading reviews is not necessary.I do not often recommend in my reviews, but I feel this one is worth it. Give it a chance.
********************************************************************************************************************************
The movie starts with a simple, light-hearted story about Tony, who wants to get into university mainly to avoid working in his family business. He's willing to take any opportunity, even if it’s not something he’s really interested in. To improve his chances winning a golden ticket opportunity, he brings into the picture his (not) friend Joe.
Few more characters are introduced, like Bokeh, who could be an asset to his project, and a high school club that Tony recruits to assist him. Like in most movies, we learn more about each character and their backgrounds slowly. What made this movie special to me is HOW they did it.
At first, the movie is light and fun, with lots of comedic moments as Tony tries to get into college. But as the story goes on, we get small hints about the characters' pasts, and small plot-detours come in. Throughout this process the movie keeps your attention and takes you on a surprising emotional journey with addition of newer perspectives.
By the end, an impossible situation is solved in a beautiful way. Even the way people who are personally connected to Joe react differently from others adds an interesting touch.

The story was amazing and gave me more than I expected. The acting was fantastic, especially from the actors playing Joe and Tony. Their smiles were so warm and innocent that it left a lasting impression every time. Cinematography was wonderful, pleasing to watch. Overall, definite recommendation.

this movie is so beautiful
i'm not one to make reviews on movies or dramas, but i'm also not one who cries a lot when watching movies.this movie surprised me. the plot twist was great. the message was great.
and unlike what Pae thinks, he was and is Joe's best friend.
i've loved thai rom coms for a while - they're so easy to watch and entertaining.
Joe and his friends are really admirable people, and to see the fact that they could achieve their own dreams was so amazing to see.
a really beautiful movie.

IT'S THE GOOD STUFF
pshshshsh.... I mean, wooooow...GDH films are top notch, huh?
this film seems like it's not much at first, but it's a whole lot indeed!
for seasoned viewers I think the best part is
how it explores a creator's ability to make something great out of very very little.
which is the essence and the magic of film making.
or any art form for that matter.
also, the opposite genders friendship theme (Clapping Hands Emoji)
RESPECT

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
TLDR; GO WATCH IT!We follow along the protagonist Pae as he is forced to transfer to a new high school, with an ultimatum from his father to make to and pay for his university on his own — or else, he is to join their family flour mill, something he has no interest in. Frustrated with his situation, Pae is solely focused on just completing his last semester of high school with no longing for friendships or bonds. Much to his irritation, he is assigned to a deskmate whose first sentence to him was, and i quote (well, paraphrase), “A scientist once said that we only remember 150 friends in our lives. You are my 150th friend.”
This movie reminds me of the art that 'storytelling' is. You can tell your story in any way you want, but there’s a separate art in knowing how to introduce characters to the narrative, how to reveal information not yet known to the audience/other characters, how to take a good story and make it great with the way you present it. It knows how to make you feel, and my god would it make you feel.
Young Thai directors are lately killing in the game that is celebrated Asian Cinema; movies like these make me look forward to the future of Thai cinema.
I wouldn’t go in depth writing about the characters, and acting, and themes and so. You shouldn’t be learning of them through this written response to the movie; you should experience them. Long live, cinema!

Incredible piece of art
What an emotional ride this was .After the trailer I came into the movie expecting some things and the movie delivered that with lots of humour and fun.
At half way point the unexpected happened.This plot twist hit me like a truck .I was so confused and become unsure of my own beliefs and expectations from the characters. It felt like the biggest betrayal ever .But they managed to restore the trust and belief in the characters .Even though I thought it was impossible they created a very realistic and well deserved ending for this movie
I feel so lucky to witness this incredible movie .it really took me on an entire journey .The movie really made me feel like I'm one of the friends .I thoroughly enjoyed this movie .
