“Riam, I love you so much my heart aches,” Kwan whispers to his true love Riam, as they dive into another world beneath the Saen Saeb canal, an out-of-sight place where their young love isn’t forbidden.
For audiences who enjoy having their heartstrings toyed with, this moment in the film’s telling of a well-loved story of the first moment its protagonists fearlessly express their true feelings solidifies its place early on as a worthy remake, even if it’s the fourth such effort.
