But she could have rejected him on another day! That’s… also doesn’t make sense for Nam! Was this part used just to fulfil the timing criteria?Īs for the other characters, Nam’s friends were cute. However, I don’t understand why she should date him in the first place? What was pressuring her into silently accepting Top’s confession? She could have said no or perhaps then wasn’t a good time for her brain. She was leading him on though I’m glad she eventually initiated the break off of her own accord.

I found her beginning with Top unnecessary and painful. It’s unfair for all 3 to be miserable! ? Seriously, the two have already broken up and your friend’s just being indignant. It’s so obvious! Then, I understood the loyalty part but also felt that it was him being stupid. However in this case, he surely could tell Nam likes him. But people don’t usually confess either because it’s something fleeting or they fear rejection. Timing and love are each other’s nemesis.īut then there’s a thing I found questionable: Why didn’t Shone/Chon confess before his friend (Top) came? Okay, you are shy. AWW! Stab me why don’t you?! The day his friend, Top, confessed to Nam was perhaps the worst. That Valentine’s Day flower he coolly gave her and added that it was his friend’s and subsequently turned away regretfully? OMG HE GREW IT FOR HER JUST FOR THIS DAY. Everything he did that involved Nam, made him smile. The melted chocolates, pictures he had secretly taken of her, the thoughts that he had at the time the pictures were taken that’s always about his crush towards her. Like I guessed, in the later parts of the show, the other side of him that had always liked her is revealed to us. But then when his friend, ‘Top’ a transferred student, takes fancy in the makeover-ed Nam and intends to court her, Shone/Chon oh-so-casually comments that he shouldn’t. It’s logical, since he’s supposed to be smart. So, I thought that maybe, just maybe, he had a good memory. I actually guessed that because of the way he notices small things about her but then that thought got erased immediately after seeing that he remembered the stupid girl who baked that stupid mango cake for him.

Because…, he liked Nam from the start of the show too. Okay, you have to watch his scenes twice. Shone/Chon was a character you had to see from beginning to end and then from beginning to the end again. ** Major Spoilers!! Leave while you can!** Seriously, she’s too adorable for words! And because she’s also the underdog here in terms of looks, you just want to see her get the boy. Looking at her spazz just over a small conversation she had with him or her getting nervous whenever she is very near or in slight contact with him just endears her to me. I really enjoyed seeing Nam’s reactions to anything related to her and Shone/Chone.

Nam’s a nice girl but her outer beauty doesn’t match her pre-makeover look. Simple things like keeping the drink he/she bought for you for eternity, talking to him/her, him/her knowing your name, going to books for advice, (day) dreaming about him/her, giving him/her gifts and then taking everyone else’s away, wanting to be in the picture he’s taking, prank-calling him and then squealing, and keeping whatever he/she dropped like a treasure. What I liked about the show was how realistic they portrayed someone having a crush and whom, would willingly do the silliest but cutest things for their crush. With the help of her 3 buddies, she succeeds in her makeover and becomes very pretty for the sake of getting him to look at her, even if it’s just once in a lifetime. In short, he’s perfect despite that mischievous streak in him. And what’s not to like? He’s good-looking, he’s a gentleman and he’s smart. From the start, Nam already has a crush on Shone/Chon.

Basically, she’s a tomboy and her grades aren’t that good either but she worked harder later on to see her USA-stationed dad. She has tanned skin, has short hair and wears glasses. ‘Nam’ is a 14-year-old female student who harbours a secret liking for ‘Shone/Chon’, the grade 10 heart-throb of the school. ** Spoiling the show for you beyond this message, by yours truly :P**Īnyway, ACLTCL is first and foremost, a film about crushes with Nam’s told in an ugly-duckling-to-swan style. But then again, it’s a show with ‘love’ in its title.so. I wasn’t exactly excited about thai productions since most of the shows they are famous for are violent fighting shows.
FILM CRAZY THING CALLED LOVE MOVIE
When my friend introduced this movie to me, I was a little hesitant about the suggestion. It was an unexpected decision to see it because never in my life would I have thought of having a thai film in my list of have-watched films/dramas but, it was a pleasant surprise! So, apologies if you guys, the readers, were waiting for a korean film/drama review.
