Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Napakpapha Nakprasitte (Ticha) was already a major star in Thailand, making this her rare English-language crossover. She reportedly took the role specifically for the location shooting in rural Thai villages.
The film awkwardly straddles two markets—too American for Thai audiences, too Thai for American rom-com crowds, which explains its 4.8 rating and direct-to-DVD fate despite the gorgeous cinematography.
