OMG! Oh My Girl

My first ever review.

One of the best romcoms i've ever watched, and i've watched a fair amount...

I don't even know what to say to make it short and clear and not waste half a day trying to express my thoughts (in general and as a non-English speaker).

MUCH respect to all departments\professionals involved, especially the screenwriters (but then again i almost don't want to point out the writing 'cause it immediately feels unfair to all the other components that went into creating this) i am not Asian and kinda have no choice but to regret my ignorance once again for not knowing about this earlier (i don't mean the movie, but all the people that made it happen).

Thank you.

When you tired of hard brain-driven movies like "Prisoners" and "True Detective" all you want is to watch a comedy, romance comedy perhaps, a cliche romance you know what I mean. You know well most of romcom have a simple story, unrealistic, and predicted plot, BUT that format planted in my brain so well and that's okay because that's the point of romcom anyway. And this movie just "clicked" my brain and saying "That's what I need for a romcom".

This movie is one of perfect romcom out there. The dull protagonist character, the pretty cute funny woman, the quirky best friend, the girl's wholesome lover, just perfect as it should be. Not mention about the shots, not that perfect of course but for a random rom-com that you found in netflix, the shots are pretty effortful.

Lets talk about the lacking. The lacking is very obvious for a rom-com, the directing of the emotion is always give you the feeling of "there's something missing" that the emotion not really captured well.

Overall the movie itself just worth to watch with your friends or lover, just casual movie time.

I used to be just like the male lead in the movie, or maybe even more ordinary. Most of the time during school days, it was just casual chats with a few buddies. I never thought about approaching the school beauty or my crush. The biggest flutter in my heart was for that girl I liked. I'd gaze at her from afar, wondering if luck would ever be on my side. Sitting in front or behind, we became able to exchange secret codes on each other's backs, like messages that only we could understand. Oh my, back then, spending time with her was the biggest reason for me to go to school...This romance movie, like many others, features a handsome guy and a beautiful girl as the main couple. The camera work and director's storytelling revolve around the dialogues between the protagonists. It didn't stray far from expectations, yet it somehow resonated with me, leaving me silently glued to the screen for quite a while.

I didn't expect that much before watching this. Just because it's GDH, starring Wongravee Nateetorn (you probably know him from his role as Chalarm in My Ambulance (2019)) and Plearnpichaya Komalarajun, who plays Lin in Bad Genius: The Series (2020). So I decided to watch it. After I walked out of the cinema, I knew right away that I liked it. The movie worked with my feelings. It's related to me. The movie evoked a wide range of emotions in me. The rhythm never matched, the disappointment, the sound inside the head, falling in love, regret, and nostalgia.

It makes me reflect on what I've been through in my life. And another good thing is that the chemistry between the actors made it look real and approachable.

It will make you laugh, have fun, hurt, and relive your memories of the past.

Recommended.

I have to create an account for this review. I didn't expect much going into the movie, but I got hooked from the very beginning. The narrator is funny and so close to your heart. I laughed and cried not because they were trying to do anything crazy, everything was just so casual and relevant.

The movie tells a story of something so wrong such as stealing one's girlfriend in the most humane way. And I can totally understand why the characters acted the way they did, I see their struggles and I actually feel sorry for them.

The writing and directing is really really good but I just have to thank all the actors and actresses, they did a really great job!

I don't think it's slow or boring, I kept wishing it lasted longer cause I didn't want it to end!

10/10.
