FRIEND ZONE Movie Thoughts: 5 Crazy Things We Do When Crazily In Love (or Broken)
FRIEND ZONE, the highest grossing Thai film of 2019 has hit Philippines this April 10. Starred by Nine Naphat and the familiar Baifern Pimchanok, whom you saw with Mario Maurer on the 2010 movie, Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Well, I guess this Thai girl is really good at bringing the crazy in love with this current top-grossing movie. Find out the crazy relatable situations below from the movie, FRIEND ZONE.
5. Acting Detective Conan

What is more adventurous than solving the mystery if your lover is cheating on you? It will all start with an instinct (or your trust issues). Followed by a clue. And with every hint that leads you to the answer, it kills you. The moment you find out the answer, at least you die in smarty pants. Not a blind fool alive.
4. Taking Revenge

We want to get even. Maybe cheating back on them wouldn’t be as bad the crime they started off. Only to find out that we can’t, we could not cheat on them. Leaving us, even more, frustrated wondering how in the world could they cheat on us. Fine, this review is kind of heavy for a light, feel-good movie.
3. Seek rebound support, say UNINTENTIONALLY

You are hurt. You can’t think clearly and close to being irrational. All you need is to be supported emotionally because you are losing the grip of yourself. You may hang yourself and you need someone to convince you to get back your feet on the ground. Who else could do that better than a platonic friend? But what happens if this platonic friend gets wreally wreally good in supporting you emotionally? Well, handle it like a platonic pro. And don’t put your friend on the danger of FRIEND ZONE, just because you can.
2. Be a rebound friend, (UN)INTENTIONALLY

She badly needs emotional support to gather herself back together. Who else can do it better than you, her platonic friend? Someone who can make her set foot on the ground again when she hangs herself. But what if your emotional support is getting wreally wreally good it is making a way on her. Pop that little hope and don’t get yourself on the danger of FRIEND ZONE. Because man, she is a platonic pro.
1. FRIEND ZONE-ing people we love dearly

The friendship you built has stood the test of time, you can’t afford to lose it just because you wanted more. Better to have a little love that would last forever than having it all with a risk of losing it all. And maybe because being friends isn’t a runner up to his/her lover. Maybe it’s the real prize. How about you? Why and how do you keep it as friends? Comment down below.

HIGHEST GROSSING THAI FILM OF 2019, FRIEND ZONE, TO HIT PHILIPPINE CINEMAS THIS APRIL 10

Everyone has a best friend. But what happens when you fall in love with your BFF? What happens if she just wants to stay friends? And what happens if she gets a boyfriend?
Friend Zone is the place that answers all these questions. Palm has been stuck in the friend zone with Gink for 10 years. During high school, he confessed his feelings for her but she just wanted to stay friends. Now she tells him off when he breaks up with his countless girlfriends and every time she fights with her boyfriend, he uses his perks as a flight attendant to fly wherever she is to be with her.

One day out of the blue, Gink asks Palm if he ever wondered what if we were an item? But will leaving the “friend zone” be the beginning of a romantic love life or the end of Palm’s friendship with Gink?
Friend Zone, highest grossing Thai film this 2019, stars Naphat Siangsomboon and Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul and is made by the producers of the films Bad Genius and Brother of the Year. The hit movie comes with a song which features the Philippines’ Claudia Barretto who also has a small cameo in the film.
Directed by Chayanop ‘Mu’ Boonprakob, it also stars Jason Young and has a movie theme song and music video of guest singers from China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia.
Friend Zone has a PG rating and is released nationwide in the Philippines on 10 April and also showing in other 13 countries, along with the movie theme song and a music video with Claudia Barretto.

If you’re looking for a perfect date movie this is it! Or you could just take your BFF?
