Mafia Luerd Mungkorn: Suer (2015)

Omo, the chemistry, omo! So there are parts of the story that makes no sense but you are so entranced by the chemistry between the two characters and their love story that you can ignore all those illogical plot holes. Who cares about a lapse in logic when these two gaze at each other with such bubbling passion? As it is set in the 50's, you not only have great costumes but these lovely romantic moments where these two dance. As the music swirls, the moon hangs full in the night sky, the waves roll by and these two dance to the faint lullaby of a gramophone on the beach -- absolutely romantic! There is a Romeo-Juliet vibe as the leads find out that their families really hate each other. There is a lot of business wrangling over bird nests but it is really the characters, sets and costumes that shine. Loved that the director chose to use more period-style music which gives the drama a vibe of a setting further in time.
