Pee Nak 2 (2020)

Personally I absolutely loved this movie. The first movie was already really good in my opinion, but I feel like the second movie was even better. (This is all opinion and even biased based review).

Story:
The movie basically follows after the first one, but now there are new characters.

There is still the ordained and disrobe curse. They try to figure out how to get rid of it for good. Balloon and First come back and get ordained again after running away the first time. There is also a new character Min-jun or Tho that comes in and has to get ordained because his mom made a promise at that temple. Throughout this movie, it is revealed why Balloon and First are actually cursed.

This time the movie was about friendships, everyone is actually working together which I liked about the movie. I think this time the plot is more centered around sticking by your friends even if the situation is bad. Tho could've just left, but he stayed and got ordained.

Even though it is labelled as a horror, it isn't really a horror movie at all. In my opinion this movie was TOO funny to be a scary/horror movie. I literally lost count of how many times I had to pause the movie because it was so funny. If you don't like horror movies, but still want to watch something "scary" (which this really wasn't scary) and A LOT of comedic relief I REALLY recommend this movie. I just enjoyed it so much.

Even though the plot was very straightforward, it's so good and entertaining.

Acting/Cast:
I absolutely love the casting of this movie. The chemistry between everyone was just so organic and hilarious.

I've seen more than half the cast before. I've also seen most of them in the previous movie so I knew I would love this movie. I love August, Pond, Puwado, and the rest in the first movie. Maybe it's just me, but the chemistry between everyone was just amazing and apparent in this movie.

When I heard and initially watched the trailer for this movie, I was not expecting to see Mean. I was already looking forward to seeing this movie, but when I saw him I wanted to know how himself and his character contributed to the story. And it was beyond my expectations. Honestly, I feel like characters that are more on the comedic side fit him best.

Again, I just wanted to restate that the cast was just amazing.

Overall:
I just think this movie was really amazing. On a side note, I didn't think the OST was gonna be that good. The song really just fit the tone of the movie (this is the link for the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4QxV5HuwVg ). I might be really biased because I love watching these types of movies, but either way I think it was a really good movie to watch. Like I always say though, everyone's taste is different, so you might like it more or less than I did. Overall, I give this movie a 9/10.
