The movie is going to be a "Complete Edition" by combining 2gether The series & Still 2gether. In this version, viewers get to see more of Sarawat's point of view on some scenes, such as the story behind their first meeting and the reason why he said: "Keep looking at me like that, and I will kiss till you drop." There will also be "Hidden Scene", which are the new scenes that were filmed to bind the story together. The end is going to be different from the series.

A masterful minor exercise in telling a story with a twist and an equally masterful exercise in the dramatic use of what's known as a Steadycam, a camera with flowing motion. The car journey with one lover too many gets completely out of hand. And after the twist, another one follows. My Rating: 2.5 / 5 wink.gif
