Love At First Flood : A Movie Review



Title: Love At First Flood
Original Title: Rak Aow Yu
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Language: Thai
Complete: 2012

This is the second consecutive Thai romantic comedy that I have watched and it didn't fail me. I love everything about it, from the casts to the location and of course the story line.

It's mixed emotions watching this movie since it was shot when Thailand was still flooded. The realistic location was an added plus factor.  You can see the harsh reality as to how Thailand was devastated by the 2011 flood. At the same time brings warmth to your heart with every citizen’s effort to rise up despite the calamity. if you’re looking for a movie full of positivity, hope, camaraderie, patriotism and LOVE, Love At First Flood should be on your list.

Direction and cinematography was awesome. The shots were just amazing! My two most favourites are the dusk shot at the bridge and that moment when the 4 main casts were shooting for pictures that they can use for the ad. Dramatic, contrasting and It was able to show the colourful and bright side of the calamity aside from the smooth, wonderfully plotted storyline.  Looking at the pictures posted in this blog (Credits to the owner for the pictures) that, sets your expectations as to how colorful and bright this movie is. It's refreshing to watch and hilariously funny. It's definitely something new to my eyes, finding love amidst crisis is just the sweetest.


The casts were funny both the 2 lead cast Thung played by Ratchaphoom Tokongsup and Sui played by Butsarin Yokpraipan were adorable. The 2 supporting casts/ bestfriends showed perfect chemistry as well. This is one of those movies that made me smile the entire time. Love At First Flood brought butterflies to my stomach. That "Kilig" factor that they were trying to deliver to their audience, they sure nailed it! And the ending... the typical, to the point of being predictable, but delivery wise it was funny and kind of awkward at some point but it was perfect! It was an ending that would leave viewers smiling, dreaming and in love while watching the credits roll.

I would rate this 9 out of 10!
