I really loved this movie. The tone was very different. It definitely felt less like a slow-paced drama and more like a fast-paced action movie. I watched this movie in theaters and there were many moments where I straight up felt like I was watching a Marvel movie or something because of the action scenes and slow-mo and loud surround sound. Still lots of sweet romantic moments, but every moment also felt very necessary to the plot.

I really loved the historical setting of this movie. It takes place after the Ayutayyah era, during the Rattanakosin era. The changes in costume and setting really reflect this well and give Kesorn's (Rattanakosin era Ket's) character an interesting vibe. The whole thing has a very "times are changing" vibe with the introduction of ships and steam engines and Western-style clothing and English spreading throughout Thailand.

Kesorn's character, despite not having any memories of her previous lives, still has a very inquisitive, ahead of her time personality. At the beginning she is introduced as a student working alongside an English-speaking priest to study old artifacts and whatnot, so she's really not that different from her past/future life except for speaking English rather than French and fitting in more with the customs of her time period. Det, now Phop, on the other hand acts pretty different because the circumstances between him and Ket in this life are so different from the whole Ayuttayah crazy ghost sister reincarnation thing.

Overall, the movie makes an emphasis on the fact that while they are soulmates, they are not the people they were in their past lives and so their feelings for each other and how they fall in love is not the same either which I thought was really well done. There are also some nice nods to the original series and some awesome new characters that were really likeable and stood on their own as worth rooting for quite well. I really wish they had included the main opening song from the original series at some point though. There were scenes where they played a little bit of the melody underneath other songs, but I really would have loved a moment where they full blasted it. Maybe during like a past life flashback or something.

Not sure when the movie will be available outside of Thailand, but when you can I recommend watching. I'm a huge Bupphesanniwat fan living in Thailand, so I even bought a movie poster to put up in my room haha.
