Love You to Debt

A romantic drama that is so fierce, so real, and so weighty, pushing up the bar of Thai movies by a notch. It's a GMMTV creation that takes a daring step to break from the mold.

Bright Vachirawitproved himself as a lead actor with onscreen bad boy image. Yaya Urassaya is undoubtedly a leading actress.

I like Bright's performance from the 1stscene. I believe he was truly "Ai Bo," who is romantic, cute, annoying, playful and alsodark, savage, raw. His performance "hits the mark." Next year, I believe "Bright Vachirawit" must appear on the roster of Suphannahong(National Film Awards) Best Actor contenders for sure.

Kudos to the directer Wasuthep to deliver this good for 1st movie after a few hit series such as Gifted, Good old days etc.

This year Thai movie comin' back to top chart in Thailand.

. Bright and Yaya chip their all in for the role. Watch out Mama Benz for really steal the scene. Salute for using Pattaya in another vibe to be location. People lives day by day out there with the best and mess scenery. Watching local movie when you visit Thailand and experience the luxury vibe of their Cinemas is also recommend. Eng sub available. Bright & Yaya interfans wait a bit they may come near you after.

It's good, so much better than expected. It's a pleasure to watch. I love it, and I really appreciate how brave it is in many ways from the idea from start to finish (but won't spoil it).

The movie tells the story of the poor, debt collectors, informal debts, and difficult lives revolving around debt. It reflectsThai society full of informal debtors, but create interesting characters, especially the male protagonist. This makes the first part both hilarious and cute.

We get to see Yaya in gloomy mode. A young woman who has to balance a life that is rougher than the waves of Pattayasea. The more you watch, the more you are spellbound and invested in the life of the ML.

The film shows the lives and hardships of people beset by assorted obstacles trying to make a living. Starting life with negative capital, life choices are limited (or almost none), enveloped by shackles that are hard to shake off, including debt, debt, and debt.

I really like how the movie takes the story of 'money' and expands it to focus on the central themes of the story (and of life). It is intertwined with love, hope for a better life, boyfriend-girlfriend, parent-child, and sibling relationships. This movie invites us to look at these through the lens of 'money.'

The movie doesn't compromise or be kind to us. It drags us through the ups and downs of the characters, as we sit tense in our seats, and our hearts drop again and again. Tears emerge multiple times.

This is the story of many people who served us at the check-out counter, serve us food, open the door, answer service calls, mop floors, work at the office next door, sharing a ride on a passenger van or stand next to us on a BTS SkyTrain ride. Stress, difficulty in finding economic opportunities, and a life of having to make money to pay off debt, especially informal debt.

I'm glad there is a Thai movie telling this story. I want the movie to be watched by many. If it's not about the livesof middle-class people, then certainly middle-lower class. So it may not be exactly the target group that will walk into a movie theater. But because of that, it is even more interesting to watch.

It is a drama film based on the truth in Thai society. The main actors performed beautifully. The dialogue, I must say, is so real. Captures my heart. Let's go and watch it. For me, the movie is ss much more intense than the trailer, title, poster, and graphics might suggest.

People who like powerful stuff should not miss it.

Thai movies are now very diverse. And this is another flavor that you don't want to miss. I'm so glad I watched it.

Translated from a review in Thai by Roundfinger (a well-known Thai author)

"Love You To Debt" At first, I thought it was a teenage romcom with forced laughs. Not at all. It's a drama about Thai society viewed through an improbable love between a debtor & debt collector. The movie is a remake of Korean "Man In Love". There are many beautiful scenes, some with influences of Hong Kong movies. Wong Kar-Wai provides inspiration for several scenes.

The movie is more profound than anticipated, giving you good food for thought, entertainment, philosophical perspective on life partnership, or even as a cautionary tale on what not to do in life. In the end, it worms its way to my heart. After watching, it'd be best to be neither a debtor or a lender. And if you are in love, hope the two will make each others' lives better.

(Translated from a review in Thai by movie critic Phitsanulok Review.)

The chemistry of the actors makes us believe in Bo and Im's love, believing that they will get through the harsh days amidst the violence. There is still goodness in people. And Bo is like an amnesiac angel who comes to help those lost people. The colors and backdrop make Pattaya look interesting. Bo is the color from the dullest to the brightest. Yaya is a very complete Im. The role of Jae Wan is a person who is greedy and takes advantage without kindness. In the society that we see in general Song Na Na Thong Very touching, very appropriate for the karaoke that Bo gave to Im. This is one very impressive movie.
