Hello Stranger

This is a must-see movie for anybody who likes rom-coms. The mood in the movie is light and funny throughout. It is modern Harry Met Sally, updated for new generation. The peek into characters from a different country is an added bonus.

Of course as is the case with most of this kind of movies, it is a little formulaic and contrived and you can guess the directions the plot will take from the start. But it is more about the journey than about the destination. You know it is a bit far-fetched but you really don't care.

Both the leads have done an amazing work with any going overboard.

This is a nice comedy romantic movie. This film is about two strangers who meet accidentally during a tour in South Korea and things that happen afterwards. It's a nice movie with a plot which has a little twist. it's very nice to watch but the end could have been a little bit more prominent.

After a Long Time, I Watched a Heart Touching Romantic Movie. This Movie Tells a Beautiful Story about Two Peoples who don't know each other Fall In Love. Its Climax was So Unexpected. I liked that male Character who Plays that Lead Role. His Name was Chantavit Dhanasevi, One of the Best Actor in Thailand Performed Very Well !! And Also The Female Lead Nuengthida Sophon Perfomed Well Too. I'll Give this Movie 10/10 for Best Story,Screenplay,Performance, Climax. Romcom Drama Fans Check This Out ! Because This Movie is So Underrated !. A Worth Watch Movie !!

Set against the bustling streets of South Korea, Hello Stranger delivers a charming mix of romance, humor, and heartfelt reflection on love found in unexpected places.

The film follows two Thai strangers who meet during separate trips to South Korea. Initially reluctant companions, their shared misadventures gradually evolve into an emotional bond. The film cleverly uses the "strangers in a foreign land" premise to explore themes of loneliness, serendipity, and the fleeting nature of human connections.

Visually, the film makes excellent use of South Korea's cultural landmarks and urban landscapes, adding vibrancy and novelty to the narrative. The setting functions as more than just a backdrop-it emphasizes the characters' displacement while providing opportunities for comedic and romantic encounters. The chemistry between Chantavit Dhanasevi and Nuengthida Sophon is natural and engaging, striking a balance between playful banter and moments of vulnerability.

The script blends situational comedy with emotional depth, ensuring the humor never overshadows the evolving intimacy between the leads. While some scenes lean into romantic comedy conventions, the sincerity of the performances elevates the film beyond formula. The emotional climax, infused with bittersweet realism, underlines the idea that not all connections must last forever to be meaningful.

Ultimately, Hello Stranger succeeds as both a lighthearted romance and a poignant commentary on love, timing, and the serendipity of chance encounters.

Rating: 8/10 - A warm, witty, and visually engaging romantic comedy that captures the magic of unexpected bonds and the beauty of impermanent connections.

I guess I got to be the first one to review this movie then. Hello Stanger is probably the highest grossing movie of this year (2010) in the Thai Box Office and probably among of the top five of all time, so something must be right to make this movie to famous among its viewer and for me something was really right.

Synopsis: A cliché love story about two lonely people befriended in the foreign land. The name of the movie came as they refuse to tell each other name so that they don't have to care about one another but just part-time friend whom happens to travel and exploring Korea together.

Made by the GTH production house, for Thai people – this is like saying the movie came from Pixar – a quality production house that assure its viewer the quality of the flick. Despite being new to the industry with less than 10 years experience four movies from GTH made it to the highest grossing movie of all time.

The movie doesn't try to be anything else rather than the romantic comedy and from my point of view that what the movie deliver best. The movie consist some consistence witted humors, and some of the scene that will make your eye watery from the beginning to the end.

With Korean Fever on the rise (Korean Fever is a phase describing the popularity of Korean cultures, series, movie, K-pop singers etc on young people on other countries) this movie came exactly at the right time. It will truly help if you watch a lot of Korean Series, then you will know what they are talking about.

Another thing that I truly love about this movie is the casting. It is a perfect fit and it felt so natural. I guess since he is the one who wrote this movie he know exactly what to give to get the character and how to portray it. Yes, that right the main protagonist is the one who wrote this movie. I also love the casting of the female protagonist Noona, she was awesome in everyway even thought this way her debut in film industry. Surprisingly she also did an OST for this flick, which is truly touching.

Anyway overall I highly recommend this movie to anyone who have a good sense of humor and wanted to relax, and then this movie is definitely for you. Try it, truly worth it.

Recommendation: I definitely add this to my DVD collection.

Reason To Watch: Its Humor, Korea, and Actors.

Reason Not to: Personal dislike of this genre of movie, otherwise I don't see a reason not to at least try to watch it once.

Rating: 8.0/10 (Grade: A-)
