Classic Again (2020)

Love, Rain and a whole bunch of problems...

One of those sad stories... boy meets girl... girl meets boy... boy becomes best friends with other boy who wants to meet girl... two of the three fall in love with each other but... well the two that do are from different socioeconomic backgrounds. People get beaten up. a war breaks out... there is a lot of drama, some we have seen before some slightly new twists and some pretty odd twists of fate that do not make much sense but sure we can go with it...

A bunch of years later... Girl meets boy, girls best friend meets boy too ,girls best friend thinks boy is in love with her... boy is obviously not... oh what a hassle in deed... in what ways history may or may not have repeated itself is what you get to find out if you watch the movie.

The chemistry is decent, the acting too, the. scenery is lovely and there are some pretty great umbrella scenes including the magical yellow umbrella, "forgetting" to bring an umbrella and the getting sick from getting caught in the rain I am a sucker for... And if you are lucky you ay just see a rainbow by the end of the movie...

It’s been a while that I have written a review for a movie or a drama. When I heard that Newwie was offered for a role in a Thai remake of the Korean movie, I got all excited because this will be his first main role in a Thai movie.

I haven’t watched the original which starred my most favorite actor in KDramaland, Jo In Sung. So I will based my review on this remake and not compare it with the original because as I said, I haven’t watched it yet. Classic Again is heartwarming, even at the start of the movie, it’ll give you a good feeling. I like the way they introduced or inject the casts in each scene. I love how the story progressed because I felt like it was planned out carefully and not rushed, so you wouldn’t get to a scene where you will be annoyed.

STORY - Watching Classic Again is giving me the Nicholas Sparks novels turned into movies vibe. The love story might be a cliche but I don’t mind it at all because of how brilliant the film was executed. It is also good that the film really focuses on the story of the characters, be it the flashback or the the present. There are scenes as well that surprises you. My jaw dropped on several scenes, they are these twists that you wouldn’t expect to encounter along the way. The middle part towards the end is full of heartbreaks and hope that you will feel the emotion of each character. That’s how good this movie was made, it was acted exquisitely. The love story of the mother on her youth was sad but the daughters’ love story is bound to be a happy one. My jaw dropped again of the revelation at the end. One of my theory mid-way did happen, I kind of expected it but I was still surprised.

CASTS - Probably, this is one of the movies where I felt mesmerized by the casts and how they give justice to the role they played most especially Mint who played the character of mother and daughter. Newwie is such a revelation here, you cannot deny his talent and his acting here is way way far from his TV roles. Gee who played Non is giving me the Jo In Sung vibe. Maybe that’s the reason why they cast his because he resembles In Sung a bit. The supporting casts were also brilliant in here. Again, this is one of those kind of movie or drama that all casts are likable.

And oh, the CINEMATOGRAPHY towards the end is awesome.

Give me few days and I’ll probably watch this again and again.
