Movie Review: Hello Stranger


Last year, I was so overwhelmed by the Thai movie, Crazy Little Thing Called Love. I fell in love with the movie very much that I wanted a follow up. I tried browsing the site http://www.enjoythaimovies.com/ and I found this rom-com flick called, Hello Stranger. I did some research, and I learned that it's a box office hit and the highest grossing film of 2010 in Thailand. I tried to watch it, and I'm happy to report that this is a fun wacky movie.

It is a story of two strangers who meet and fall in love while vacationing in South Korea. She is an  obsessed Korean TV drama fanatic, a religious radio listener while he is a dorky, happy-go-lucky guy. Through the writer's machinations, the two end up travelling together without exchanging names. They agreed to call each other Dang (puppy) and May.
