This is my first Thai movie to watch, it's way more than what I expected reading on IMDb! I smiled throughout the whole movie, even now while writing this.
The best thing I liked about is theres no vulgarity in this movie, I've seen alot American RomCom, and those were full of sex instead of "LOVE".
A must watch for guys & girls, even you can watch it with your friends group. Enjoy!!

More of a comedy film than a romance one...
redgirl_book18 August 2019
..and that's not good
i think best romcom movies are a balance of romance, comedy and heart
the main complain i have is that i wish they showed more of the character's friendship rather than the mishaps of crossing through that line of "friend zone"
nonetheless, it was still very entertaining and i had some laughs. the main leads are cute and a lot of the other characters were really funny.
there were a bit problematic ideas around the friend zone coming off as somewhat a strategy to get the girl but i think the male lead didn't intentionally plan it even though it did come off that way. the endings for the three other guys were cute.
but watch with caution, it's not about getting the girl, it's about saying what you feel instead of just pretending to be just a friend and being fine with your friend's relationship pining over him/her and then blaming him/her for your misery.

A rather enjoyable romantic comedy...
paul_haakonsen2 January 2022
The 2019 Thai romantic comedy titled "Rawang... Sinsud Thang Pheuxn" (aka "Friend Zone") from writers Pattaranad Bhiboonsawade, Chayanop Boonprakob and Thodsapon Thiptinnakorn was actually a rather enjoyable movie in the genre.
Sure, it had the archetypical elements that most romantic comedies have, but "Rawang... Sinsud Thang Pheuxn" offered more than just your generic dribble, and that actually made it a much more enjoyable and entertaining movie. Especially since the storyline is one that gobbles you up and takes you along on a rollercoaster ride.
The characters in the movie were well-written and had good dialogue. And of course it definitely helped that they had a really good cast ensemble to portray the characters in the movie. Lead actress Pimchanok Leuwisetpaiboon (playing Gink) and lead actor Naphat Siangsomboon (playing Palm) carried the movie phenomenally well, and had a great on-screen chemistry.
I have to admit that I was more than genuinely entertained by director Chayanop Boonprakob's 2019 romantic comedy, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. So if you enjoy romantic comedies, then I can warmly recommend you take the time to sit down and watch "Rawang... Sinsud Thang Pheuxn".
My rating of "Rawang... Sinsud Thang Pheuxn" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.

Movie that is more than its title
Moviebility22 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I was hesitant to watch this movie because I judged the title itself. I'm not that familiar with Thai movies but they somewhat similar to Filipino movies which are cliche and predictable most of the time. This one is predictable and I just knew that he'll get the girl at the end although I'm not gonna lie it gave me good laugh and the twist somewhat made me wonder whether the ending will be exactly how I predicted it or it'd give me a curve ball. It's a decent comedy film that I genuinely enjoyed from beginning to the end. The ending isn't bad and the main characters definitely have the chemistry! Must watch if you're not looking for something extraordinary.
Worth it to watch

Audience review
gloryoo4 March 2024
It was about 5 years ago( in 2019) when I watched 'Friend Zone' movie at the cinema and it becomes my favorite movie of all time since I watched at least six times. It is one of the most famous Thailand films with the best chemistry of two famous actors, Nine and Baifern. Among the various romance-comedy movies from different countries, Friend Zone caught the attention of the audience by unique hilarious scenes of two best-friends making everyone feel what the making everyone feel what the youngness and first love is at the same time. The plot is about two friends called Gink and Palm who has been best-friends and love each other. Although one is the other's first love for all the time, they never confessed their love and never dated because of the thought that there is no break up in friendship and there is no way to be friends again if lovers break up. That is why they stay in the friend zone for about ten years. And we will see what will happen when Gink found out that her current boyfriend was betraying her. In this movie, Palm is an idealistic best friend who is always by Gink's side whenever Gink needs him. I don't want to spoil the plot but one thing sure is that the ending is satisfying for every audience. Not only because of the plot but also there are so many reasons I want to recommend to watch this movie for every rom-com fan. The first thing we should not miss this movie is being a multicultural and a musical movie. The best part is the amazing songs in various languages, Thai, Philippines, Malaysia, Chinese, Vietnamese and Myanmar. The second thing is the combination of the beautiful scenes of these different countries and their costumes in different traditions. As being one of Myanmar people, I am so proud of the scenes from Shwe Dagon Pagoda, the most famous and powerful pagoda in Myanmar, whenever I watch the movie again and again. Moreover, this movie introduced how Thailand is a beautiful country and why it becomes a tourist attraction. The scenes from the beaches of Thailand are breathtaking and make me have an imagination of a visit to Thailand. Whenever I feel depressed and tired from something, I spend my time to watch this movie again because I can forget my current problems by its funny parts and make me miss my young time. The best chemistry between Gink and Palm is just out of the world. The ending is also satisfying with unpredictable plots. After the movie, I realize why people say that just go with the flow and everything will be on their right places. Overall, it is one of the masterpieces and a worth movie that you should spend about 2 hours of your time to get the unforgettable memories.
Romance comedy

Love not wanting status A love that does not require compensation is a close friend, too, and I fell into a position called a close friend while I was in love with a friend. But he doesn't want This movie is as well. It started with being friends. And became a friend of Until falling in love with each other Causing him to encounter various events Causing many impressive moments A love that doesn't need anything in return. Just wanted to see that he was happy. He can laugh, he can smile, we just want to be a part of his happiness. This movie clearly conveys a close friend relationship. And i love this movie so much It's like taking my feelings and my life to create it.
What a perfect filming with being chemistry of superb cast

I mostly watched the Thai romantic series, and most of the series' storyline are not much different. When I heard about this movie named " Friend Zone", it sounded interesting and attractive to me and so I decided to watch this film.
In this movie, the genre is romantic, comedy, and the scenes are based on the borderline between friendship and love. The director Chayanop Boonprakob directed this film and launched it in 2019. The main actor Naphat Siangsomboon (called Palm in this movie), and the main actress Pimchanok Leuwisetpaiboon (called Gink in this movie) performed incredibly well and had awesome chemistry in this movie. Moreover, the script-writer wrote good dialogue and the cast performed remarkably in this movie.
Most romantic movies are based on the romance between two colleagues or strangers and about how they fall in love. However, differently in this movie, the storyline was based on two high-school close friends who know each other well. Although they have feelings for each other, they did not confess and had their related partners for a decade. During her relationship, whenever she called Palm to come and she disclosed problems with her boyfriend to Palm, he always made her calm down and gave motivation to keep her relationship even though he had feelings for her. I love those scenes because I can see the love, sacrifice, and support of Palm for Gink. After he knew her boyfriend was cheating on her, he decided to confess his love to her. Unfortunately, Gink couldn't accept his love since she thought being friends would be better for both of them. But after she realized that Palm would be the one who could be with her most of her tough time, she accepted his love and they became lovers.
Most of the movies were shot in one location, whereas, this film was directed in famous locations of different countries such as Shwedagon pagoda in Myanmar, and the Twin Tower in Malaysia. This movie can contribute different styles and cultures for international audiences. Furthermore, the theme song is great and aesthetic because it is created with different nationalities. I still remembered the performance, the beats and rhythms of this song. It is really entertaining , and I would like to recommend that you should listen to this song.
To conclude, as a lovely comedy movie, "Friend Zone" is one of the best romantic movies that I have ever watched. Palm and Gink will always be my lovely couple because of their great performance on-screen. You can also see different locations, background music, and everything in this movie during the movie duration of around 2-hours. You should just feel the flow of the scenes, and most of the scenes are entertaining and very funny. Hence, you should watch it, and it is worth watching.
