O Envelope Vermelho (2025)

Assistam, é o meu conselho.

Assistam, é o meu conselho, mesmo para quem particularmente não é fã de produções sobre reencarnação ou mudança de corpo, fui estimulada a assistir por causa da participação do Billkin e do PP Krit, pois são sinônimo de qualidade, deram um show digno de palmas, fiquei mais apaixonada por eles. Tudo nesse filme é maravilhoso, não deve em nada ao roteiro original taiwanês, o qual vale muito a pena assistir, quase rachei de tanto rir na cena de pole dance e muitas outras. O roteiro também mostra alguns assuntos importantes e delicados onde não foi possível conter as lágrimas, e que me levaram a refletir sobre vários assuntos, fala da nossa finitude e da fragilidade da vida de uma maneira leve, também fala sobre valorizar o tempo, sobre preconceitos (gordofobia/homofobia), as dificuldades dos relacionamentos LGBT+, mas também da esperança, família e amor em todos os sentidos.

10/10 Billkin & PP Deliver Again

10/10 Billkin & PP Deliver Again
This movie is absolutely hilarious and surprisingly beautiful too. I was laughing from start to finish! Even though it's a comedy, it has emotional depth and doesn't feel shallow at all. I didn't watch the original version since I usually stick with Thai shows, so I can't really compare the two.
Let's talk about the characters:
Billkin as Menn - He plays a straight guy who works as an undercover cop, but he's terrible at it. Every mission turns into a disaster, and his boss is constantly yelling at him.
Basically, he's a walking bad-luck magnet. One day, while walking in the park, he sees a red envelope and thinks it's an angpao (a money envelope), so he picks it up. That moment completely changes his life.
PP as Titi - His character is clearly a hopeless romantic. He is an openly gay and used to have a boyfriend, but sadly, the guy was just using him-for a condo, gifts, and who knows what else. Titi dreamed of getting married one day, but that all ended after his accident. To make it worse, his ex was basically scamming him the whole time.
I won't go into too much detail about their story to avoid spoilers. Some people say it's a BL, but honestly, I didn't really feel any romantic connection between Menn and Titi.
It felt more like a deep friendship or even a family-like bond.
We never really find out if Menn still has any family, since he's shown living alone. But what I really love is how he finds comfort and a sense of belonging with Titi's family. His dad and grandma treat Menn like he's one of their own, and that warmth really stood out to me. Although, I don't feel any romantic connection between Menn and Titi, the movie kept me entertained the whole time, and I liked how it ended-it felt realistic. No reincarnation or magical twist.
Acting-wise, everyone delivered their roles well especially Billkin who can't just play a serious role but he's definitely a versatile actor. The production value is also solid, you can tell they really put effort into it. The color grading was great, as well as the OST.
