I really enjoyed this movie despite not being into romance or romantic comedies at all. So that tells you something about how good this movie plays out. Bangkok is a busy noisy city so the transit system is successfully used to comment on how anonymous and lonely big cities can be. Cris Horwang plays Mei Li a thirty-something young Woman who is becoming increasingly desperate about being unmarried, especially when she is one of the few among her friends still single. She meets Loong who somewhat predictably is an engineer working on the Bangkok Skytrain system. This is a pretty simple plot, but the chemistry between the two lead actors was excellent. I consider that element the most important thing in films of this type. Loong is played by Ken "Theeradeth" Wonpuapan and he surprised me at how good an actor he is. The usual Girl meets Boy, Girl loses Boy theme ensues. Horwang does a brilliant job at playing the desperate loner frantic to find her perfect man. If you liked Bridgette Jones Diary, you will love this film. My Country Thailand makes great films. Here is more proof. Also check out my list called "20 Best Thai Films ever made"!
