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.

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!

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!

Teacher's Diary, is a typical Thailand drama movie, with a common concept. At the beginning, I laughed a lot while watching this, considering a drama, it contains quite a handful jokes with a good proportion.

After a considerable amount of jokes, then comes the serious part, even though the serious part already coming, they still giving some jokes element in the middle, this is quite good actually, because the jokes aren't overriding the drama element and the romance as well.

The plot itself, usually I got to guess the ending correctly just by watching the beginning and middle part of a movie, but this one is unpredicted, well all in all this is a good movie.

The characters connection, from one another makes us(watchers) feel a warm and sometimes touched by the reality shown in this movie(floating school for poor people).

In the end, The Teacher's Diary: 9/10, is a warm, touching and funny movie.

Everyone knows the love story plot. Boy meets girl. Something bad happens and boy looses girl. Yet, they get back together. But then something very bad happens and boy really seems to lose girl. At the end (usually at an airport) the boy and girl somehow manage to get back together for the happy ending. The only exception to this plot formula is the Chinese version where boy meets girl and the rest is up to fate. "Teacher's Diary" is amazing just for the plot structure alone. It follows the standard love story plot but the fabulous creative element is that the boy and girl never actually meet until the final scene. This is genius and I loved it. Even if you're not a writer and don't know that there are only ten plots and every movie you see is just one of those ten plots with different characters, it doesn't matter. This is a good movie with comedy and character and worth all of the 8 stars I'm giving it.
