Romantic Comedy (2020)

GDH has once again captured our hearts in their latest movie offering; a heartfelt romantic comedy about con games gone wrong for all the right reasons, The Con-Heartist (which is now available on NetflixPH).

The movie was a perfectly imperfect mixture of light romance, comedy and heist. Of course, it was not the perfectly detailed thrilling con games like others in serious genre, but it was exciting enough to keep you laughing and anticipating for the next scenes. The actors were the perfect cast, no one else can pull of Tower but Nadech and no one else can own Ina like Baifern did. Bank, Phuak and Kathleeya each shined with their characters, so did Ter who had a special participation. Overall, the plot was simple. It was about a woman who was conned by her ex bf, now seeks revenge with the help of another conman. The main
conflicts lie between trusting another with the probability of getting deceived again at high stakes, overcoming your own sorrows and meeting people who might share the same.

The Con-Heartist was entertaining and fun. Its comedy may vary with people's taste on jokes, but fun nonetheless.
The light romance leaves us wanting for more, but Nadech and Baifern's chemistry was definitely a win. It radiates in all their key scenes. The heist was fit for its romcom genre, still exciting to watch. And lastly, it is heartfelt because of all the life lessons that lies underneath its adventures.

The best comedy movie ever watched!! I was laughing my ass off the whole 2hr 10min. Theres one part where it gets intense and the main casts cannot take it. I find the movie plot very interesting as they carefully plot the plan to swindle the guy. Overall if I can rate the movie 100/10, I will because the director and screenwriter made it so funny that I was laughing right from the start till the end. The ending is the best ending a movie has. Well, im not going to spoil it for you guys here. Hats off to every individual who was involved in this movie as they tried their very best to keep people entertained. I would love to watch it again as here in Singapore it has only been 1 week since its release. So please I urge everyone who knows thai dramas/movie or even people who do not even know anything about thais, you CAN AND MUST watch this Movie because its guaranteed a ROFL the whole duration of the movie!!!!

Favourite Movie!

Short little story time: one of my friends from Thailand and I actually exchange songs with each other. A month or two ago, she sent me the OST for this movie, 'พี่ไม่หล่อลวง' by the one and only, Bambam of Got7. Let me tell you, the first five seconds made me fell in love with the song and I've played it on repeat to the point where it might be top 5 of my Spotify Wrapped of 2021 haha

It was only then recently (just a couple of minutes ago), that I decided to watch it. It was one of my favourite decisions ever!! I knew from the first 60 seconds when Ina said, 'being in debt is like being married to poverty. Once you're married, you must find a way to live together,' that I was gonna fall for this movie. I actually didn't think I was gonna fall this hard but I did.

Everything was time perfectly and paced well. The acting is great, their micro-expressions and close-up made you know that they can act and the music and dialogues are easily remembered. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I would constantly think, 'Ina's ex-boyfriend, Petch is a con artist as well. Does he know? No, he doesn't look like he knows. Wait, but look at the way his facial expression is. He definitely knows.' It was a dilemma that kept me going back and forth.

I loved the characterization but I felt it could've been more. Something about it was a little off to me but other than that I really enjoyed the movie. I do wish that Nongchun and Jone ended up together but that's just my romantic-ass.

Speaking of romantic, I love how this wasn't romance-based and they really stayed with the plot until the end. I love the ending dialogue as well, 'do you have a boyfriend yet? Is it too late to tell you I like you?' These two have great chemistry together and Baifern did not hesitate to be shameless (sweating profusely after taking the helmet off). She was humorous and I love how she only really wanted what she wanted in the first place. She didn't get greedy and she learned from her mistake. And because there wasn't any kiss scene at the end, I was very satisfied. I don't know, I think I've seen too many end kiss scenes for me to be all lovey-dovey fangirling.

Definitely would be able to rewatch with my whole family. I bet they'll love it!

A comedy that would leave you smiling for sure!

It's been so long since I could lay down in my bed watching Asian movies... and I finally got to do it again today, so I thought that "The Con-Heartist" was worth the try! And I don't regret it one bit! It was hilarious and sweet, and very very entertaining.

This movie has the perfect main duo, Baifern, whom I know from "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and that famous Pantene commercial, and Nadech, Urassaya Sperbund's hot boyfriend. I'm not into Thais so I don't keep up with the celebrities, so having two actors I'm familiar with in one movie sounds amazing. The acting was amazing. They were naturally funny and oh my, finally... a comedy without actors overacting. The storyline's actually pretty simple and cliche, but since I really love revenge movies, this one is obviously up my alley. A bunch of comedy mixed with heist and a hint of romance created a perfect movie for me to watch.

I've lost my interest for Asian entertainment a few months back, and I think this movie might bring back my previous excitement. I've been too caught up with Western movies and uni and all and I needed something to boost back my love for Asian films, I'm glad I picked the right one today. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone in search of something light, entertaining and hilarious. Overall, a 9/10! ⭐
