Unexpectedly, this is how movie can give you everlasting smile after watching this movie.

I'm Indonesian, actually i never watch Thai drama-comedy, so this is the first time.

First, I wont give any spoiler whatsoever.. I'm just gonna review what i see and feel after watching this movie. Second, I'm sorry this movie is too good its like I'm biased and marketing this movie, which i'm not.. I just wanna share what i experienced.

The Teacher's Diary is a complete drama-comedy and heart-warming story mixed into one story that so original, so heart-touching.

The pace of the movie was beautifully done with how the two story- telling of the lead-male and lead-female are always changing in every scene, on everything they do from they started teaching. it gave some artistic feel to the movie.

The comedy itself is very funny without too exaggerating , who knows a simple comedy between teacher and the students/children can be so funny and so heartwarming at the same time.

The Soundtrack, oh my god, really-really touching and completing every scene imaginable. Its like playing Final Fantasy..when the music gives you chills in every scene, this one does it too.

All in, this magical little movie gives us the complete smile in our lips and soul after watching this movie. Call me exaggerating, but this movie is up there within 10 best drama comedy in the world. Including Three Idiots(India), My Sassy Girl(Korea).

Don't get me wrong, i like Hollywood movies, but they are never as good as Asian-drama comedy. I almost seen all Hollywood drama- comedy,even the good ones. They always missing the edge-perfect- heartwarming-details oriented thing.

The conclusion : Watch it! Don't judge the movie because it is Thai movie, If you don't watch it, you are missing big thing in your life, especially if you like good movie. Then prove me i'm not wrong I Actually watch it 2 times this last 2 days. it is that good

I rate 9/10 for this movie.

Good, the storyline is quite different from other films. It's interesting

This movie underlines how much hollyweird sucks. The story, cinematography, acting, casting, script, everything, perfectly balanced, and charts a path into the deepest part of your heart to remind you of the power of love. The purity of the film is what I really liked, and our two protagonists look good, and well matched for each other. For the soulless and desensitized of the world, destroyed by the evil moral cancer of the united states and western countries, your scarred conscience cannot be reached by this movie. For all I know, that is like 90% of the world's population, so tormented they are by their evil intentions and base desires, culturally and spiritually impotent. But if you feel this movie, and feel its message, and are uplifted by it, be thankful. That means the dark lords of the evil western empire have been unsuccessful at destroying your soul, and you just might make it into heaven :) I am so grateful for the people behind this kind of work. Surely, they are the children of God.

The Teacher's Diary was a pleasant surprise. Heartwarming, lighthearted, meaningful, sweet and funny, The Teacher's Diary has moments that feel earnest, sincere and touches your heart. The tightly-scripted story is simple: Two strangers who has never met before and spend the entirety of the film apart, but walked the same path - teaching rural kids in a remote floating houseboat school with no electricity, phone service or Internet. But a personal diary written by Ann, was discovered by Song and this connects them together.

The film is filled with a handful of jokes that provides a few laughters here and there. The editing was done well such that the alternating scenes of Ann and Song are presented coherently in the film. It was evenly paced and the story flows nicely as well. Not to mention, the widescreen cinematography of the lake location is simply stunning.

As with many romance comedies, the film won't work without its charming and likable leads. Of the two teachers, Ann, the female lead, is the better one - smarter, braver, skilled among the two, capable of adapting her life at the houseboat school with the kids. On the other hand, Song, the male lead, breaks his arm as soon as he reaches the school and struggling to teach the kids algebra maths (because he sucks at maths). Although they are different, they share the same ideals towards teaching the young. It's their passion and dedication towards teaching that brings them together as one. Their relationship troubles due to the nature of their jobs were well presented. All the kids are lively and likable as well.

Song's infatuation and admiration for Ann was sincere and it doesn't feel creepy at all. We can see that Song was genuinely fascinated by Ann's dedication towards teaching, through her personal thoughts and frustrations while teaching at the school. After Song leaves and Ann resumes her teaching at the school, she was touched that her dedication inspires others and starts to admire Song after hearing things about him from the kids and his writings in her diary. The film never overdoes the melodrama and making it overly sentimental.

Romance aside, the film touched on the true meaning of education. It highlights the problems in today's teaching practices. Education shouldn't be just for the sake of grades or marks, but for the sake of knowledge and understand the things around you.

Overall, it's the best romantic drama comedy I've seen this year. Rest assured, this film will leave you a big smile on your face the moment it ends. Very highly recommended. Two Thumbs up!

Saw the film at the Thai film festival and absolutely loved it. The story telling was slightly messy at the beginning but the story is romantic and sweet and the location chosen was very authentic. Very moving film!
