If you are a fan of romantic comedy film, give this a try, it's much better than the rom-com Hollywood is churning out right now.
Even if you are not a fan of the drama series, it is still enjoyable and fun. It's s light movie to relax to in the cinema with a sprinkle of nice costume, music score and historical anecdote along the way.
The story focus on the love story of the 2 main cast but you wouldn't get bored as they are so many things happening around them as this is the era where British is trying to put hold into Thailand as one of it's territory.
Don't expect much action scene or grand battle as this is just a piece of made up story that tie some history together. The costume and music team did well for this movie. The sound and sight is beautiful for this movie.
It's a long movie about 2.45 hours but that is like a standard Bollywood movie. This is the type of movie where you just want to relax and laugh without thinking too much on the plot.
One thing I notice, Thailand kept their historical record very well and it had been quite a melting pot of people from all over the world from hundreds of years ago.

Movie Reviews
Better than the average Hollywood rom-com
Fans of the drama will love this!
Just came out of the cinema, wow what a ride! I rarely rate shows a perfect 10 but this is deserving of that accolade.
The story picks up 100+ years after the drama series and it involves time travel too. The time travel here is more Back to the Future rather then Marvel Multiverse kind of time travel.
Anyway it's got romance, comedy, action and a ton of glorious Thai culture and history. Love it! Must watch!
Love Destiny
My Thai girlfriend and me watched this Thai movie last month in a Bangkok Cinema. We both really like this movie and downloaded the soundtrack songs. We like the movie so much we watched it again at the cinema. I really like the diagrams of old structures along the main Bangkok river and the beginning construction of the main Temple along the river. The movie combines time travel and the Buddhist concept of reincarnation. I am hopeful that Amazon Prime or other streaming service will make this excellent movie available in America. I just wanted to mention that many of the Thai actors are as talented as any in Hollywood. The two lead actors in Love Destiny are incredibly talented.
