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!!
The 2019 Thai romantic comedy titled "Rawang... Sinsud Thang Pheuxn" (aka "Friend Zone") from writers Pattaranad Bhiboonsawade, Chayanop Boonprakob and Thodsapon Thiptinnakorn was actually a rather enjoyable movie in the genre.
Sure, it had the archetypical elements that most romantic comedies have, but "Rawang... Sinsud Thang Pheuxn" offered more than just your generic dribble, and that actually made it a much more enjoyable and entertaining movie. Especially since the storyline is one that gobbles you up and takes you along on a rollercoaster ride.
The characters in the movie were well-written and had good dialogue. And of course it definitely helped that they had a really good cast ensemble to portray the characters in the movie. Lead actress Pimchanok Leuwisetpaiboon (playing Gink) and lead actor Naphat Siangsomboon (playing Palm) carried the movie phenomenally well, and had a great on-screen chemistry.
I have to admit that I was more than genuinely entertained by director Chayanop Boonprakob's 2019 romantic comedy, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. So if you enjoy romantic comedies, then I can warmly recommend you take the time to sit down and watch "Rawang... Sinsud Thang Pheuxn".
My rating of "Rawang... Sinsud Thang Pheuxn" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.

..and that's not good
i think best romcom movies are a balance of romance, comedy and heart
the main complain i have is that i wish they showed more of the character's friendship rather than the mishaps of crossing through that line of "friend zone"
nonetheless, it was still very entertaining and i had some laughs. the main leads are cute and a lot of the other characters were really funny.
there were a bit problematic ideas around the friend zone coming off as somewhat a strategy to get the girl but i think the male lead didn't intentionally plan it even though it did come off that way. the endings for the three other guys were cute.
but watch with caution, it's not about getting the girl, it's about saying what you feel instead of just pretending to be just a friend and being fine with your friend's relationship pining over him/her and then blaming him/her for your misery.

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.
Not only a must watch but a mustx2 watch :) the movie ending was always going to be what we all expect but the twists and turns were what made this movie a memorable one. Pimchanok is such a beautiful actress! Never noticed her before and boy she took my breath away :p The chemistry she has with Naphat made this movie so heartfelt. Step out and step into the zone with this movie and you will not regret it. O ya, I am not a Thai and yet loved it!

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.
How many people can spend ten years waiting for someone you like? Love you still, love you for a long time.
It's a wonderful movie . Even though I'm not thai i like this movie very much . It's full entertainer I assure you that you won't be bored at all . Like some other movies there are no scenes that is like a cliche .

Love not wanting status A love that does not require compensation is a close friend, too, and I fell into a position called a close friend while I was in love with a friend. But he doesn't want This movie is as well. It started with being friends. And became a friend of Until falling in love with each other Causing him to encounter various events Causing many impressive moments A love that doesn't need anything in return. Just wanted to see that he was happy. He can laugh, he can smile, we just want to be a part of his happiness. This movie clearly conveys a close friend relationship. And i love this movie so much It's like taking my feelings and my life to create it.
