Virgo V @vision Jun 27 One Day (Fanday…Fan Kun Khae Wan Diaw) is a 2016 Thai romance drama film directed and written by Banjong Pisanthanakun. It stars Chantavit Dhanasevi, who also co-wrote the film and Nittha Jirayungyurn. It was produced by Jorkwang Films and distributed by GDH 559 Company, Limited.

Another twerd flick where the main actor has never gone on a date, doesn't know what to do on a date and spends most of his time on... his computer, as usual. But wait, there's a twist. A desperate twist. Two and a half fries!" See more 01/15/2022 ดำดิ่งสู่ความเป็นมนุษย์ ด้วยลุคหวานใส See more 09/03/2017 A neverday tale. From the director who is famous for great horror flicks, but I liked his only romance-drama 'Hello Stranger' that starred by the same actor as in this one. This is a similar type, I mean a travel based romance-drama, but a fraction amount of fantasy and/or sci-fi influenced. Due to the way the tale was narrated, it makes no sense to label it with them. It also looks kind of the 90s style romance films from the west. So a bit old theme, however, surprisingly it worked out for me. The concept was as same as 'A Few Portion Missing in the Centre', but it is entirely a romance-drama. When I started to watch, I thought it was going to be an average, the scenes could be predictable, but most of the film was like that, until the twist came at the midway. It was not about the twist, because that kind of twist was used in the films since the inception of the cinema. Not about what followed after that, thought those parts were decent. But the ending, that was different which saved the film I say. If the climax was compromised, the film would have lost its charm. If I were only young like a teenager or in the early 20s, it would have been my favourite film. You know, 'been there, done that' kind mindset makes not to fall for the familiar appealness/sentiments. So I'm not the target audience, but those who are, would surely celebrate it. Particularly the girls. Yet still be a watchable film by everyone, despite how much you are going to like it. ?It's like we're climbing Mt. Everest together.? The story of a 30 year old geek, Denchai, who works in an IT firm as a tech supporter. He's a perfectionist, but all he wanted was people around him recognise his presence, but nobody does. He develops a crush on a new co-worker, but he keeps it himself by stalking since she's seeing somebody else in the office. Then one day when the company takes its employees to oversea tour, his wish comes true to be her boyfriend for just one day. So the entire day was narrated for us how they made it, and following day what happens, all were revealed. The initiation was a bit longer than I anticipated. It was necessary to make a perfect riddle for what comes in the later. But when they go foreign trip, everything changes, a different kind of film in front of us. Like any normal romantic-drama, the best parts can be expected. Those who have watched hundreds of romantic films, would feel a bit cliché, but worth it. Then moving towards the final stage, you might think you know what would happen, though the film reaches its highest point with a better conclusion rather going for ideal one. The two lead actors won the Thai Academy Awards for their performances. I think they deserved it, at least for the Thai film standards. One more awesome film by the director. I think he should do more romance films, besides his favourite, horrors. Nicely used the Japanese locations to narrate the tale. The dialogues were okay, but the emotions should have been a little more stronger. Especially for this kind of ending. But anyway, I liked it mainly because of that part. One of the best Thai romance films in the recent time. So if you are looking for a pure, touching romance film, this is the one to pick. 7/10 See more 05/04/2017 While I dislike some parts of the movie, found some cliches and plot holes, I still love this movie. I am biased. Only because I personally feel strongly related to Denchai. It feels like this movie partially portrayed my personality and attitude toward love. I remember every detail of the person I love, and I used to be ignored a lot. And now I also feel the "impossible" Denchai feels too. Right into my soft spot. I see love the same way Denchai sees Nui, out of reach. The strongest point of this movie is the chemistry between the lead actors, everything else is all cliche that anyone will see in most romantic movies. Perhaps you'll love it if you feel the similarities of yourself and the actor like I do. See more 04/11/2017 nice plot and acting See more Read all reviews
