A theft aimed at money nobody seems to claim turns into a much bigger problem in Everybody Loves Me When I'm, a 2025 Thai thriller from director Nithiwat Tharathorn.
What is Everybody Loves Me When Im about?
Two bank employees spot what looks like an easy target: a dormant, unclaimed account sitting untouched. Taking the money seems victimless, until it becomes clear the account is not as forgotten as it appears, and the people who actually own it are both dangerous and determined to get it back. Over 128 minutes, the film builds from a small, opportunistic crime into a chase where the two employees find themselves badly outmatched by the forces now hunting them. Nithiwat Tharathorn frames the story as a pressure-cooker, where a decision made in seconds spirals into consequences neither character anticipated, and the line between clever plan and costly mistake keeps shifting under their feet.
About the cast
Theeradej Wongpuapan and Vachirawich Aranthanawong lead the ensemble, with Chulachak Chakrabongse, Fatima Dechawaleekul, Kullanat Preeyawat, Jirayut Paloprakarn, Pitipat Kootrakul and Alissa Intusmith rounding out the cast. The lineup draws on established names in Thai film and television, giving the two central roles a supporting bench built for both tension and character work.
Context & significance
Everybody Loves Me When I'm is a Thai production sitting at the crossing point of drama and thriller, a combination well suited to a premise about ordinary people pulled into danger through their own choices. Its two-employees-versus-hidden-danger setup places it in a familiar crime tradition, but the specific stakes and the identity of who the money truly belongs to give the film its own shape. At over two hours, there's room for the tension to build gradually rather than arrive all at once.
