In my opinion, this movie is one of the fantastic Thai drama movies, especially for someone like me who struggles with love. The story follows an IT support guy who is in love with a marketing woman. The intriguing twist happens when the woman loses her memory for a day. During this time, the guy seizes the opportunity to pretend to be her boyfriend until her memory returns. It makes me think that spending a day with someone we love would be an amazing experience even if it's just for one day. The movie makes me feel lonely and helps me understand how the man feels. It's like you're stuck in a world where everything feels fake and nobody really cares about what you think or feel. But then, when you finally find someone who sees the real you and appreciates your worth, it's like finding a treasure. You feel a deep connection, and you want to do everything you can to make that person happy.
One thing I didn't like about the movie was the beginning because it took a long time to introduce the main character. However, on the other hand, it helped us understand the character's situation better. If they didn't spend so much time at the beginning, they could have made the ending perfect without rushing it. Another thing is that the ending was easy to guess because when the woman's memory came back, she would forget everything she did with the guy. If they had a twist in the plot where the woman remembered her time with the guy, it would have been more interesting.
The director picked Hokkaido, Japan, during wintertime, especially during the Snow Festival, to show that winter is a time when love can easily blossom. Hokkaido's snowy landscapes are peaceful and beautiful, making it a perfect backdrop for romance. The Snow Festival adds excitement and charm to the setting, just like the thrill of falling in love. By choosing this location and time of year, the director makes the movie feel more magical and romantic, highlighting the themes of love and new beginnings.
Finally, I've realized this movie shares important ideas with viewers-like facing truths we can't avoid and accepting them. It suggests that sometimes, the person who loves you might be better for you than the one you love. It sheds light on different aspects of love, helping us understand it a bit better.
I really love movies by director Banjong Pisanthanakun. He's done all sorts of movies, from funny-scary ones like "P Mak" to more classic scary ones like "Medium." But "Fanday" is something special. It's one of his best, in my opinion. The movie mixes romance and drama really well, so you're hooked from the beginning to the end. You can see Pisanthanakun's special way of telling stories in every part of "Fanday." If you're into movies, you're going to check this one out.
