Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul and Naphat Siangsomboon in Friend Zone (2019)
FRIEND ZONE
A film by Chayanop Boonprakob

Synopsis

In this world, there are many people who seem to be wandering along a relationship borderlining friends and lovers. This borderline is also commonly known as the FRIEND ZONE. It is a special area for those who are stuck in the middle where they cannot really stay friends with their close friends, nor move forward to be their friends lovers.

Palm (Naphat Siangsomboon) is one of those who has been stuck in the friend zone with his best friend, Gink (Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul), for 10 years. During high school, he tried to cross the line by confessing his feelings for her. But Gink simply rejected him, saying that being friends is good enough. Since then, Palm and Gink have grown closer as true best friends. Every time Palm breaks up with any of his countless girlfriends, Gink will tell him off, talking some sense into him. And every time Gink fights with her boyfriend, no matter where she happens to be in Myanmar, Malaysia, or Hong Kong. All she has to do is make a call to Palm, who uses his perks as a flight attendant to catch flights to be with her.

Perhaps, it is because of his excessive kindness that also makes Gink has a problem with Ted (Jason Young) her boyfriend. One day, Gink asks Palm out of the blue, Have you wondered, what if we were an item? Right then, sparks fly wildly inside Palms mind, knowing that this might be the only chance for him to cross the borderline. Although, Palm has no way of knowing if leaving the FRIEND ZONE this time will lead him to the beginning of his romantic love life or to the end of his friendship with Gink for good.

    Whatta Movie!!

    This is my first Thai movie to watch, it's way more than what I expected reading on IMDb! I smiled throughout the whole movie, even now while writing this. The best thing I liked about is theres no vulgarity in this movie, I've seen alot American RomCom, and those were full of sex instead of "LOVE". A must watch for guys & girls, even you can watch it with your friends group. Enjoy!!

    Audience review

    It was about 5 years ago( in 2019) when I watched 'Friend Zone' movie at the cinema and it becomes my favorite movie of all time since I watched at least six times. It is one of the most famous Thailand films with the best chemistry of two famous actors, Nine and Baifern. Among the various romance-comedy movies from different countries, Friend Zone caught the attention of the audience by unique hilarious scenes of two best-friends making everyone feel what the making everyone feel what the youngness and first love is at the same time. The plot is about two friends called Gink and Palm who has been best-friends and love each other. Although one is the other's first love for all the time, they never confessed their love and never dated because of the thought that there is no break up in friendship and there is no way to be friends again if lovers break up. That is why they stay in the friend zone for about ten years. And we will see what will happen when Gink found out that her current boyfriend was betraying her. In this movie, Palm is an idealistic best friend who is always by Gink's side whenever Gink needs him. I don't want to spoil the plot but one thing sure is that the ending is satisfying for every audience. Not only because of the plot but also there are so many reasons I want to recommend to watch this movie for every rom-com fan. The first thing we should not miss this movie is being a multicultural and a musical movie. The best part is the amazing songs in various languages, Thai, Philippines, Malaysia, Chinese, Vietnamese and Myanmar. The second thing is the combination of the beautiful scenes of these different countries and their costumes in different traditions. As being one of Myanmar people, I am so proud of the scenes from Shwe Dagon Pagoda, the most famous and powerful pagoda in Myanmar, whenever I watch the movie again and again. Moreover, this movie introduced how Thailand is a beautiful country and why it becomes a tourist attraction. The scenes from the beaches of Thailand are breathtaking and make me have an imagination of a visit to Thailand. Whenever I feel depressed and tired from something, I spend my time to watch this movie again because I can forget my current problems by its funny parts and make me miss my young time. The best chemistry between Gink and Palm is just out of the world. The ending is also satisfying with unpredictable plots. After the movie, I realize why people say that just go with the flow and everything will be on their right places. Overall, it is one of the masterpieces and a worth movie that you should spend about 2 hours of your time to get the unforgettable memories.

    Funny & Cute

    Accidentally came across this film and I have no regrets! Friend zone is a cute rom com for when you don't feel like thinking. The actors are cute and have a way to catch the watchers sympathy.
