The Promise (2023)

[reviews_and_ramblings]

 I think that, for once, I would have preferred more The Promise, without seeing the prequel, Phupha | Nanfah. Let me explain, I liked to see the prequel, because, without question, Phupha and Nanfah are cute in their school years, and you can better understand how deep is their bond, but there are some inconsistences generated by the prequel, the main one being Nanfah searching for Phupha in Sydney, with photo and name, meeting Phupha's mother and brother, and no one of them recognizes Phupha? How many thai boys named Phupha, with a deceased father and a mother who went to Sydney for work, are there, that a mother does not recognize her own son? Said that, if I reset this information, and just watch The Promise, it's cute and sweet, with some drama on it, and even the dreadful separation before the good time. There is also an unexpected drama at the end, soon solved, and therefore not necessary, but we are gifted with a very sexy scene in compensation, so I can forgive them. HEA. You can see it on WeTV. Heat Level: 4/6.
