Trailer: Crazy little thing called love

Crazy little thing called love is a 2010 Thai movie which revolves around the story of the ugly duckling.

Nam, an ugly M1 student develops a crush on Chon, a very handsome football player from M4. Determined to win his heart, Nam and her 3 other “ugly” friends decide to follow the “9 something-something methods”. Then, Nam’s uncle arrives from the states bearing a message from Nam and her sister’s father stating: “whoever becomes top 1 first will get a plane ticket to America from their dad” and since they haven’t seen their father for 5 years, Nam studies hard to be able to get the prize.

The story is about Nam’s life in M1 to M4 and how she developed and became a beautiful girl.
On M2, she was cast as Snow White in a school play. This is where Top arrives.
On around M3 or M4, she was asked by her teacher to be a drum major for the school. She sucked but in the end she was able to do it.

Top is Chon’s best friend. Top’s feelings develop for Nam and after a year later, musters up the courage to ask her to be his girlfriend. Nam doesn’t answer because in her heart she loves Chon. After Top’s question, she started hanging out with Top’s (and of course, Chon’s) friends until she drifted away from her real friends. Then some instances happen where Nam and Chon were left alone together, but then their moment is interrupted by Top. Fast forwarding to another scene, Top kissed Nam on the cheek which surprised her. And after that day, she told him to...somehow...back-off, since she hasn’t even answered him.

Then, during Valentine’s Day in her M3/M4 year, she then decided to tell Chon her feelings. Nam and her friends followed Chon to the gym, Nam went inside and her friends guarded the door. She then gives him a white rose and pours out her feelings to Chon, feeling happy that she was able to tell him about it, until she found out that he and another senior, Pin, were already together a week before. Crushed and heartbroken, Nam tries to hold back her tears, and hopes them the best. While leaving, she falls into the shallow part pool. Chon gives his hand to help her but she ignores him. When she got outside, she left her friends and bumped into Pin. Nam hugged pin and then she left. The next day, Nam’s friends told her the news that she got Top 1 and because of that, she’s moving to America.

That time after Nam confessed, when Chon got home, his father, who was an ex-football player, told him that he was going to play for the Bangkok team. He was happy and went to his room to try on the jersey. While inside, he goes to his desk and pulls out a scrapbook, filled with pictures of Nam. From when she was still ugly and dark-skinned, until now that she was beautiful. Since he’ll be playing for the Bangkok team, he has to live in Bangkok (they currently live in a province). He goes to Nam’s house and leaves the scrapbook in front of her doorstep.

9 years later, Chon becomes a pro-photographer and Nam becomes a world famous fashion designer. Nam was invited on an interview on TV, and then to her surprise, there she sees Chon again. The host asks Chon if he has something to say to Nam. Then she gives Nam a chance to ask Chon something. She asks if he’s married already. He answers with “I have” which might have hurt Nam, but then he said, “been waiting for someone in America to come home” or something like that. And it end there.

This is just a sort-of summary. I shall return with my thoughts. :) WAH! THIS IS SO LONG! >.<
