The film is subtle, has an unmistakable lightness, no nudity and sex scenes, just a few kisses and hugs. That is the idea behind "Yes or No" to make it understand if it impacts, introduce an opinion without being invasive, the protagonists are incredible, the chemistry in the cameras freight was the best.
"Yes or No" talks more about this journey to meet, first love, among other things. The plot is not so unique for this type of film, but that's how the story is told, in ways that are curious and exciting.
It's funny, but throughout your mood there is a very big prejudice of acceptance on the part, and humor is just a way of trying to make people understand that we are different and because of that our choices are also. The film is not set in a happy fantasy world where a homosexual statement is found with open arms. He manages to address several issues affecting lesbian youth, but mostly with a subtle and light touch. Highlights for them, Aom Sucharat Manaying (as Pie) and newcomer Tina Supanard Jittaleela (as Kim). Highly recommend!

The Movie critic in me says "It really wasn't very good."
The BL fangirl (by association, I also react similarly to Girl x Girl) in me says "Yay."
The defender of LGBT rights in me, says "It's important."
So which is it? Maybe all above.
The storyline is thin - pretty nonexistent - and the movie flows on a casual feeling, completely character driven. Just that the characters are equally thin and don't push the story forward at all...
They're both cute and endearing, but have no depth, no defining qualities, nothing much.
Pie is stuck up, childish and homophobic. Kim is dorky, meek and a pushover. That's about it.
When they get friendlier with eachother and lose those initial traits, you're left with... kind of nothing.
It feels like the movie is made for the sake of making a movie about two girls that fall in love.
Which, from cinematic POV, is pretty lame. But seen to the message, it IS important.
Even though the topic of social stigma is approached in a very naïve and simplistic way, it's still an issue which needs to be adressed and get attention. Very few stories are told about girls who love girls.
So, in that way, it is an important movie. I think it's able to reach a younger audience very well.
The cast and their actin,g was really bleak. No one shone, although Sucharat Manaying as Pie, made the best performance. Her acting was okay. Tina Jittaleela was totally forgettable and made no impression whatsoever.
It's a sweet little story but it's really grossly overrated - 8,1 is far too high a rating.
I gave it 5,5 - i.e. a little bit better than average.
Nothing memorable, but is well worth seeing once. I won't watch it again though.

Run-of-the-mill, but quite cute. Especially being a GL first.
This is actually my second time watching this film. I am rewatching not because I particularly liked it or because it had a high rewatch value, but simply because I couldn't remember it. Which, coming from me, already speaks about its memorability.Filled with microaggression homophobia, this roommates-to-lovers tale reminded of a less-problematic version of the BL TharnType and several early BLs. Some of the same annoyances (i.e. girl who can't take a hint, a main lead who can't read a ridiculously obvious room). Some of the same tropes (i.e. coy back-and-forwards with almost-confessions). And some of the same cute moments (i.e. taking care of each other, supporter reactions). It feels very run-of-the-mill as far as queer content goes, even more so many years after its release. But, this is often considered the first full-length Thai GL movie, in the midst of a still prominent lack of GL stories, so I don't think we should necessarily put it down for this.
However, my biggest gripe story-wise is how much time we spend in the homophobia stage. It makes the attraction from Pie's end seem quite sudden. Just showing her jealousy was not enough for me to be convinced of the depth of her feelings.
Several songs were quite childish in vocal quality, which annoyed me as a viewer. But there was a song towards the end that I liked enough to instantly download, so it boosted up my music score some.
I watched officially on GagaOOlala, who also has the whole franchise (PSA: there's a couple missing subtitles here and there, but they aren't particularly plot-relevant).

for being a movie that's a little bit older its very enjoyable
its easy too fallow along with and understand
not gonna lie i did cry a little bit
the actors did such a good job portraying raw emotions
both happy and sad
so much to the point that i genuinely felt like i was in the story
also the way they portrayed the characters made me get very attached to them
also i think the representation of a WLW relationship was quite accurate
the mild homopobia was a true representation of what ti can be like
but there also wasnt so much homophobia that it was hard to watch
but all in all it was amazing
i would recommend

Pretty Cute ❤️
I have to say that this movie is very adorable and I appreciate how developed the characters and story get. Everyone in the film did great, but the music was off at times.Like, the music they used for when they first met. The goofy, playful, fooling around music. Well, they definitely use it a few times in the film and its fine, but there was a scene where the music was unnecessary up until a certain point where it made sense.
Would I watch this again? No. Did I enjoy myself? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY!

very cute, girls love , first love, they found that love byond gender
acting- bad...the girls tom is really bad.
music- surprisingly it's ok, for thai...that i really don't like thai music...(my taste) it's mostly generic, but this time they more verity
i think it's the year they were influence by Korean drama, and korean music...there are similarity in the clothing fashion and music .
overall:
i don't watch girls love movies, i don't like it most of the time, i watch bl ...most of the time.
i watched at those years the produced it couple of streight Thai movies and i didn't like them because they were very generic and the music was off and they were very cliche and boring in extreme boring, slow, really bad overall. so i was surprised to like this.
i like when a person looking for his identity, so here i think the Tom girl is very suitble, she looks and act like aboy. she is very convincing in that way (not her actong) , i was touhed when they found out they are inlove,
there are parts that are very childish, naive, so sweet you believe it's real, that is what i like about it,
when they kiss it's rith on the spot, touch your hear and you full of their buterflys...that is why i feel this movie worth watching.
