Freelance: Ham puay... Ham phak... Ham rak mor

This film having a romcom genre, but wait, this film makes me to feel anxious.

It's really relevant to today's freelancer life, no matter it was designer or programmer. Both have nearly the same routines. Have a entire time to work, sleepless, unhealthy lifestyle, loner. No happiness, happiness is getting project or project from big company. This film brought us to know deeply about the entire of freelancer life and work-circumstances.

When Yoon met Doctor Imm, the romance started. But really, as a man who has a messy-life and a loner, it's nearly impossible to be in relationship or even just getting a serious talk with a perfect-life person like doctor Imm. This film bring you to anxious, anxiety, and have no one to share with.

Thankfully Je always be there, Je understood how Yoon so that lonely. So Je even already having a husband, she still not left Yoon alone.

The story is really complex, and it has relevance with today's freelancer life. Execution also good, love how those players could bring me to anxiety. But, really it was a romance comedy? I don't get most of it's jokes, because executed with straight voice narration.

I gave it 7/10 because it's failed on comedy, and don't satisfy me with the romance here.

We were expecting to see the usual zany rom-com from Thailand, but we were totally surprised by its honesty and relevance in these present times.

The story couldn't be simpler... Yoon (Sunny Suwanmethanont) is the busiest 30-year-old freelance graphic designer and retoucher in Thailand. After staying up working for 5 days straight, strange rashes start to appear on Yoon's body. Yoon eventually relents and brings himself to a public hospital. There, he meets "Doctor Imm" (Davika Hoorne) and his life is changed forever.

Did I say it isn't a rom-com? It isn't, not in the strictest sense. However all the publicity and trailer seemed to suggest it is. What the movie does amazingly well is that it plays the game of "will they or will they not" brilliantly.

The movie is quiet, meditative and contemplative. It insightfully studies Yoon, a workaholic and what makes him tick. It is the same old narrative arc done a thousand times where a character loses sight of what is most important in his life, but thankfully it is never cliché and the director inserts levity in an otherwise dull subject. It also never engages you in a top-down approach and approach the subject in quite an original matter. I like some of the interesting scenes. For instance Yoon is so into his work that even during his best friend's father funeral he is searching for a wifi signal to do his work. Some of the more subtle scenes also moved me a lot like how in the beginning he was living from assignment to assignment, and later he was living from medical appointment to medical appointment.

The movie felt sluggish in the middle act but Suwanmethanont's nondescript facial expression is a delight to watch and his engaging performance smooths out the rough edges. His character is always mild-mannered but yet very captivating. We were willing him to do something with regard to Dr Imm and for him to slow down to smell the roses. How the movie does this in a way without the usual platitudes is a refreshing wonder.

Much like the treatment, I feel like this film can be shorter but that's not saying I won't see it anymore if it's any longer haha. Watching it was such a treat that I paused midway to check how much time was left and I was really excited to know there was an hour more. However, that changed when the film was still stuck at the same narrative without intent of bringing anything new. It could have been really great but the story did not improve with exception on Yoon and Je's friendship. Coming into Heart Attack without an idea of the plot, perhaps I expected this to be a cheesy or tear-jerking romance so I feel slightly robbed. (I just wanna be mushy tonight haha) Nevertheless, it was a new experience to get a glimpse of the life of freelancers and agencies. I always wanted to be like them when I was a child but I also knew how taxing their careers are. Glad to see them represented here along with the whole workforce that's basically moving the world. It's sad and enraging how work conditions are still worsening despite our modern times. We're struggling to separate work from our worth so we always compensate by doing more than necessary. Still a painful reality that we need to outgrow because we all have only one life to live and to enjoy. Let's see sunsets as much as we can!

Simple, subtle, genuine and gracious watch of recent times; P.S.: Ending might make you look for Conclusion at your own... That's, both exciting and frustrating, all at once,,,
