Kuan meun ho

Hello Stranger tells a unique love story about a pair of humans who do not know each other, in a strange place, both experience a breakup but eventually fall in love with each other. Falling in love at a short time must be just a false feeling, that is believed by the two main characters in this film but in fact after one year of walking the feeling is still there and never goes out.

This Thailand Film has a very distinctive plot, unpredictable and makes the audience curious about the ending. This Romantic Comedy film successfully makes the audience laugh, smile and rummage through feelings. The film is a success combining comedy and romantic stories between two foreigners who are both from Thailand who are in Korea.

Unfortunately the ending of the film hung because the audience did not know whether they could finally meet again and continue the relationship or not. I think the director wants the audience to guess for themselves how their relationship will end. In my opinion, I want the couple to meet again, rectifying the misunderstanding that has happened before and they are together again.

Overall, I think this is the excellent movie and of course worth your time.The script is well-written and convincing. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves the romantic comedy movies. Watch it, it'll be funny; if not, at least it'll be cute.

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.

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.

Somehow i had totally forgot that i had already watched this movie a long time back and last night when i started watching it again, the old memories were back and yet, i was keen to finish it. To explain in two cents, i liked this movie due to its plain, simple, easy to follow script and there are no hiccups to worry about.

Story is old and there are already many movies based on same theme directly or indirectly. However, what difference i found in this melodrama against others is the unknown identity of two leads the whole way and there was not much pressure to repent in past or think through future. After all, why always a movie should contain elements as to what will happen and if it happens and all such load.

At-least one time watch.

A rarity these days for film-makers to be proficient in varying genres. Director of acclaimed horror films "Shutter" and "Alone" carves a niche in his first romance comedy showcase that is very much fun and laughter inducing. Fans of Korean pop culture and TV dramas will not want to miss this.

Frankly speaking, upon knowing that Director Banjong Pisanthanakun (of Shutter and Alone fame) is doing a romance comedy, I'm really not that surprised. In fact I held high hopes as I've seen what he's capable of with his comedy-horror film segments in "4bia" and its sequel "Phobia 2". With a very good mix of humour and spooks for these two short films, he finally ventures away from horror for the first time with good results.

Capitalising upon his good comic sense of humour, he has written some very engaging screenplay together with his male lead Dhanasevi, which probably explains why he seems so natural in his wonderful role performance as the irritating cynic who meets a pure-hearted homely girl crazy over Korean dramas in South Korea.

Besides the hilarious and sparkling presence of Dhanasevi, new face Sophon (a.k.a NooNa) earns a great first feature grade for her film resume. Appearing blissful and bubbly while maintaining a girl-next-door image that appeals to the boys out there, she is one mesmerising newcomer to watch out for. When it comes to the sentimental scenes where she has to get wet in tears, she pulls it off like a seasoned natural (possibly with an acting coach as credited in the film).

Likely to be a reflection of the current Korean television drama craze that has overwhelmed Asian countries like Thailand, it sets off to be some sort of a Korean drama spoof attempting to poke fun at it through the cynicism of Dhanasevi. When paired with Korean drama lover NooNa, their interactions give rise to an influential synergetic ensemble that easily captivates our hearts. Thanks to some really interesting writing, this film is filled with several comical scenes that got us blatantly laughing out loud.

It's really all about the fun we enjoy from them.

Of course, what's a rom-com without the soppy melodrama? Unnecessarily long to cause a minor draggy feel, this is where we discover the Director's limitations of inexperience with romance. However, the romance plot elements somewhat reflect scenarios that are often common of couples in real life. Their development gets me nodding in agreement at times as I can totally relate couples around me to them, a credit that I have to give Pisanthanakun for.

Standing amidst the extensive humour, fun, and melodrama, one gets truly influenced to hold desires to visit South Korea with a prominent feature of South Korean culture and her scenic urban cityscape and snowscape.

Fun-filled culture exchange makes for good film material.
