Good Concept

The concept of parallel world is quite similar to the concept of hole in the 3d and 4d dimensions of this world. It was a unique way how they have shown the repetitive new year's eve. Some parts of the storytelling can be polished but overall okay as the ending is happy. If you're not used to physics or parallel world kind of themes, you can get confused on the story building.The interactions between the main characters are good too, it's fun to watch. It was a push and pull situation, but I never knew why the world got stuck in a loop (or I just missed that out).

A Heartwarming Remake

I must say that I watched Love Stuck before The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (MTPT), and I discovered that even though the core themes are similar, the focus of the two countries makes the storylines completely different, like watching unrelated films.MTPT has a slow burn pacing, warm and heartfelt, teaching the importance of "using time" and "escaping time" in a natural and pure way. It highlights the tiny perfect things around us with a magical touch.Love Stuck touches on tiny moments just enough, highly respects the original, and includes new scenes that fit the Thai context, but it doesn't create as much magic as the original. However, the magic of the Thai version shines in the family drama part (which MTPT barely explores, only touching on it lightly). This part is more intense and relatable, potentially enough to bring you to tears. It's a shame that the director didn't delve deeper into this aspect because it would have made the film perfect, but it's understandable as it might have strayed too far from the original.Love Stuck has a faster pace than MTPT, making it more fun and lively, but it might be hard for some to keep up. Once you do, though, you'll be engrossed in the well-defined, colorful characters more than in MTPT. However, the ending of Love Stuck is rather abrupt and underwhelming, despite the spectacular New Year's Eve light show scene (while MTPT only had a simple rain scene but ended better). One reason might be the dialogue, which lacks smoothness and coolness, which I personally think is the film's biggest flaw.In terms of acting, all the actors did a great job. The adjustment of the male lead to be the "brightness" pulling the female lead out of her loop, and making the female lead more "gloomy" and nerdy, made the story flow better than expected. However, the sci-fi elements are still unclear, similar to the original.Love Stuck is a successful remake, fun, comprehensive, and respectful of the original. Though not perfect, with some rough edges in editing and dialogue, it's a film worth watching when you want to relax at home, find a quiet spot, and watch something heartwarming but impactful enough to make you reflect on yourself.

I fell asleep

And I still haven't gone back to watch the last 10 - 15 minutes. It is not a bad film. It is pretty good, PLEASANT, one of the better films that will put you to sleep. Here is a first: I mostly agree with everything every other imdb review says. It helps that there are only three of them and the three reviews are similar. As they said, the characters are good, esp the main guy and his sister, story is interesting, some of the visuals are great. Problems are as others said, clunky interactions, issues with consistency, awkward moments, wea editing for scene transitions. Dialogue also seemed blah, but maybe that was just laziness by the people doing the subtitles.Then it really slowed down and dragged on getting to the ending, putting me to sleep. Part of the problem was that I figured out the girl's "backstory" almost exactly very early. Not sure why I did. I wasn't really trying to. It just hit me. From that point on, the slow way they worked to reveal it was tedious for me.Give it a chance, but don't expect Science Fiction, Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, awesome dialogue / subtitles or action.
