Carla, you are responsible for turning me into a drama/movie addict again. I never (ever) thought that there will come a time that I will be interested in watching a “Thai Movie.” Honestly, NEVER. Carla introduced me to this movie that she got addicted to, Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The first thing that came into my mind was that the title is really catchy. But I didn’t bother to watch the trailer. And then one day, I accidentally clicked this MV, I thought it was Chinese or Korean, but then the language was different. It’s Thai. I stopped the video after watching the first 1 minute. Why? ‘Coz it’s so darn good!

I’ll mark this day, January 30, 2011, as the very first day that I have watched a Thai movie. Am I emphasizing “Thai” too much? Haha. Well, the story started. There’s this girl, Nam, not pretty, just a normal one, who have a huge crush on Shone, the coolest and the most handsome guy in school. She and her friends bought this book that will make a guy notice them. Nam did every single step in order to capture Shone’s heart. Even if there’s a pretty girl liking him, she didn’t stop. Later on, their funny teacher invited them to join her club. And that’s where the magic started.

After the play where she starred as Snow White, she became beautiful throughout the movie. Let’s say her friend, Pin, was like a fairy god mother to her. One of my favorite parts is when Shone saved her from falling off the stage. Truly, it really looks like it was a fairytale. Everything was almost perfect, her being beautiful, top in class and a part of the marching band where she succeeded but there’s one thing that she still wanted the most, Shone. Shone’s best friend came and fell in love with Nam. It looked like Nam was using him in order to be with Shone even for a little while. But in the end, she made it clear that she never agreed on being his girlfriend. Another great scene!! Nam and Shone were sitting on a bridge. Shone told her a story about squids, a couple squids who fell in love with each other and held hands. Nam asked him if he ever held hands. And he answered her. He did, when he was trying to save someone from falling. AND THAT’S HER. But his best friend interrupted the whole scene. Haha.

So, let’s proceed with the story. I’m gonna jump off to the climax because this really interests me. After a few years of trying, Nam and her friends decided to do one thing…confess. It was during the last day of school I guess. Nam followed Shone in the swimming pool area to confess. She said that she had been in love with him for three years and that she did everything. She was crying back then when she gave him a white rose (a tradition I guess). Upon reaching it to him, she noticed a writing on Shone’s shirt, Pin loves Shone. He said that they were together for a week already. It broke her heart. She fell into the pool and just laughed. Poor Nam.

When Shone came home, the truth was revealed. All this time, he has been hiding the chocolate that Nam left on his motorcycle. All this time, he was taking pictures of her, pretty or not, as he said, she was the same as ever…cute. And I thought that Nam loved him more. But I was wrong, because after watching that scene, I realized that whoever she is, no matter what she looks like, he had fallen head over heels for her.

At the time when he saved her from falling, he cherished the moment so much because it was the first time that he held her hands. But he let go all of a sudden because he said that someone might notice it. He was also the one who left an apple with a bite on her table with a note that says that apple don’t have poison. It was really cute. When his best friend confessed to her, he was watching and his world fell apart. When they were together, he wished that he was the one in his best friend’s place. And it’s all because of a crazy little thing called love.

After 9 years of being a part with each other, they were reunited. He was waiting for her all this time..

Seriously, who wouldn’t think that Shone (Mario Maurer) is an ideal guy?
