Reviews
4 min readLove That Outlives the Body (But Not the Runtime)
I kept waiting for the moment when My Boo 2 would click into place—the way the first film did, balancing ghostly giggles with genuine heart. But the click never came. What we get instead is a love story stretched across lifetimes, each reincarnation a little less vivid than the last, like a Polaroid left too long in the sun.
The premise is undeniably romantic: Joe and Anong, soulmates doomed to find each other again and again, only to be torn apart by fate, bad timing, or (in one particularly cruel lifetime) a poorly timed motorcycle. Yet somewhere between the flashbacks and the flash-forwards, the film loses its own pulse.
The first My Boo worked because it was small. A ghost haunting her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend, throwing tantrums in the form of slamming doors and flickering lights—it was Beetlejuice meets a Thai rom-com, and the charm was in the specificity. Here, the scope expands to include warrior princesses, tragic poets, and at least one lifetime where Anong is a literal ghost (again).
The ambition is admirable, but the execution feels like a greatest-hits album where the band keeps stopping to explain the lyrics. Every time the story starts to breathe, another flashback yanks us backward, as if the film is afraid we’ll forget why we’re supposed to care.
That’s not to say there aren’t moments that land. Maylada Susri, playing Anong across multiple eras, is the film’s secret weapon. In one lifetime, she’s a fierce warrior with a sword and a scowl; in another, a 1960s singer with a voice like honey and a gaze that could melt steel.
Audience Opinions
Audience 5.8/10
"A heartfelt reincarnation romance weighed down by slow pacing, heavy flashbacks, and a sequel story that feels less lively than the original."
The across-lifetimes love story, anchored by appealing lead performances and varied roles for the heroine, lands as touching and offers a sense of closure to Joe and Anong’s arc. latestnetflix.com's view is that at the same time, an overstuffed structure built around flashbacks, a draggy first hour, and a big drop in sharp comedy and scares leave the sequel feeling unnecessary and less captivating than the first film.
What viewers praise
- Engaging lead chemistry The connection between the two leads remains charming and emotionally grounds the reincarnation storyline.
- Versatile heroine roles The female lead’s transformations across different lifetimes—from warrior to ghost to modern woman—are praised as varied and convincingly acted.
- Emotional multi-life romance The time-travel and reincarnation concept delivers a sweeping love story that some viewers find moving and satisfying.
- Satisfying closure The ending is seen as a good, hopeful wrap-up to the couple’s journey, giving a sense of completion to the story.
Common complaints
- Draggy first half The pacing in the early parts is described as very slow, making it hard to stay fully engaged.
- Weaker than the first The sequel is often judged as less captivating and less impressive than the original film.
- Loss of humor and scares Compared with the earlier movie, the comedy and horror elements feel muted or missing, with fewer laughs and no real frights.
- Overloaded with flashbacks Frequent jumps through past lives and side plots create a scattered narrative that distracts from the present-day romance.
- Limited rewatch appeal Even positive reviewers tend to see it as a one-time watch rather than something they would return to.

Buzz & Rumors
Public reports150 million baht, then they went backwards
My Boo made 150 million baht in Thailand in 2024. latestnetflix.com's view is that The Nation put it fifth on a list of eight local films that cleared 100 million that year, behind Death Whisperer 2 and How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies.A sequel was not a rumor. It was the next booking. 
The first film opened on 1 May 2024. A gamer inherits a mansion, meets the ghost who owns it, and turns the place into a fake haunted house with real ghosts on the payroll. Wikipedia notes it as Khomkrit Treewimol's return after seventeen years away from features. Netflix took that cut on 10 November 2024. Maylada Susri is Anong. Sutthirak Subvijitra is Joe. The chemistry is the whole product.
Camera blessing, then three more lives
M Studio, Karman Line Studio, and Jungka Studio held the camera blessing for My Boo 2 on 28 March 2025 at Lan Hin, Avenue Ratchayothin. Jediyuth published the date two days early and named the returning company. Gee Sutthirak and Bow Maylada. Timethai. Jack Chaleumpol. Tatchaya. Punyawee. The rest of the first-film ensemble. Treewimol leading. Jediyuth also printed a narrower first-film number, 64.07 million baht in Bangkok, its suburbs, and Chiang Mai. That is a city slice, not a fight with The Nation's 150 million nationwide. ,
The Thai title is Anong 2, with a tag that reads as three-four lives. Kapook's poster roundup, crediting M Studio, showed period looks dated B.E. 2311, 2411, and 2485, plus the modern pair. The line on the art was that they have loved each other in every life. Theatrical date 30 October 2025. Runtime on TMDB is 1 hour 57 minutes, Thai rating 15. Sutthirak's character list is Joe, Jak, Jorm, and Tiger Joi. Maylada stays Anong. Timethai splits into Kong, Dok, and Thai. That is the reincarnation gimmick in the credits. ,
Netflix's English logline is the time-travel version. Joe gets a new ability and visits different eras hunting past incarnations of the ghost still in his modern house. Flixboss logged the US Netflix add date as 5 March 2026, a four-month wait after the Thai theatrical. Box Office Mojo only shows a Vietnam take of $54,119 from 9 January 2026. Mojo is not reporting a Thai theatrical total. The first film's 150 million baht is the figure the sequel had to live next to. , , ,
Kapook reminded readers that Treewimol also made Fan Chan, Dear Dante, and The Bedside Detective. The sequel is the same director taking a haunted-house romance and stretching it across reincarnation. The first film already sold one lifetime. This one had to sell four.
