This so lacked a lot!

Lame movie!

So much missing and so chopped up! They left out so much important info. It was so confusing at times. Like.. how did he know it was her and visa versa? One minute they are watching a tree being chopped down and then you see them in a restaurant. She really has nothing to say and acts all mad at him. And why? Oh ya... They finally explain (mind you it was a very short explanation) it at the end when she refuses treatment and chooses to die!? She gives up on life when there are so many people who show her their love. And who did she marry? I am guessing the “rich” guy? Because we see the “brother” walking alone at the end? Did she die? Did she decide to get treatment? Grrrrr!!! So many frustrating questions and no answers!

Sheesh! At least make a show straight forward! Make it flow smoothly from one scene to the next. Don’t leave us hanging and don’t leave important parts out. That is why I Hate the series “Cheese in a Trap” but love the movie. The series leaves you unsatisfied at the ends but the movie gives a good ending. Personally I prefer the series because it had all the important info in it and it was really well done, but the movie lacked all the important stuff. But at least it had a good ending unlike this movie. That show is honestly a toss up for me. ??

The story would have been beautiful if it was written and executed right.

The cast I think did the best they could with how it was probably written.

I love the main actress. She is really good and I have watched a lot of her shows. I can honestly say this one did not impress me.

Rewatch? Nope! If I did it would be because of the actress. Nothing else.

choppy editing, too rushed

it started good actually, but after 10 mins, it becomes a mess. some of the characters just pass by here and there. no development whatsoever.
i wish this was a drama instead. because a lot of things need to be explained better.

i mean EX and JX grow up as siblings. but after years of separation they fall i love? that last twist of illness? who did EX got married to?

the music was good, but it wasn't anything memorable.

I watch this for ZLS and i don't regret it. she did great with her role. but i really don't like the storyline.

Very heart warming

What a great Drama it. Brings laughter and crying, I truly enjoyed this. It was about 2girls switched at birth and upon a car accident they found out. It was a trying time as 1 girl En Xi grew up privaliged with a brother that loved her dearly but they weren't spoiled. The other Xin ai grew up totally opposite her dad died young, her brother was a thug all his life and always in trouble and her mom ran a noodle shop. Once they meet there birth parents and switch places En Xi goes to her birth mom and she tells her to go back that's she not ready for her at that moment Enri step mom comes to say they are going to the usa for a better education and they want to take Enri with them. Her mom says to go, but she says no and stay by her side. Years goes by and they all return. Jun Xi seraches for his sister and finally finds her over a broken CD player he gave her. In the mean time she meets Han Tai who falls in love with her. Then finds out he and her brother grew up in the USA together. Now all feelings on the table and some friendly jeousley. Must watch to see the ending it will blow your mind.

Did I just watch a movie or a long trailer for a drama?

Oh boy, where do I even start? This movie was such a train wreck.

There were just so many plot holes and lack of character development that I didn't feel invested in any of the characters at all. The whole time, I felt like I was just watching a very long trailer for an upcoming drama. There were just too many flashes forward that left SO many questions in between (like why did Jun Xi's girlfriend decide to leave all of a sudden??and she just decided to GIVE UP on the guy that she's been with for years so he could be with his long lost sister??). There was just no explanation whatsoever for some of their actions and I found myself become more and more frustrated as the movie progressed tbh lol.

I feel like this could have been a beautiful movie if done right because I do think the story was great and I'm a huge fan of Xu Kai and Zhao Lusi. Even having these big names in the movie didn't do anything for how poorly it was executed and written. Maybe this could have been saved if it was a drama instead because at least they'll be able to explain so many unanswered questions and also give time for some character development.

Oh, and don't even get me started on the underlying incestuous relationship between the leads. Just HOW did Jun Xi and Eun Xi end up developing romantic feelings for each other when they were supposed to have grown up together as brother and sister is way beyond me. Granted, they are not blood related, and they were apart for many years, but it just doesn't seem plausible for them to develop romantic feelings. It's just so weird and seriously borderline incestuous.
The writers are essentially saying, oh look, we have two siblings here who grew up together as siblings, from the time they were born until 12 or 13 years old and were oblivious about being swapped as babies, BUT once they find out they're not blood-related, they develop romantic feelings for each other? Please tell me I'm not the only one so weirded out by this!

The only thing that made this remotely bearable was how attractive Xu Kai and Lusi were. And I'll also say everyone has great style in the movie, so costume was on point, so I gave an extra point.

I don't recommend this, unless you have some time to kill, the internet is down, and this is the only movie you have accessible to you. Otherwise, don't waste your time.

Should watch this movie!

This movie has a great value in my life. I really loved it and enjoyed the movie, even I knew what will happen the whole story. I really enjoy watching remakes because every single remade movie or drama has a unique favour of excitement.
Both lead actors of movie Jiao Rui and Rosy Zhao were great and looked very cute together.
The story was wonderful and all the role of characters were well played by actors.
What I was disappointed about was, for me the movie was a bit small. What I think is that this should be aired as drama with some episodes because the movie was a little bit fast forward.

Just OK

This movie was done all of over the show, there is no flow to the story, its all over the place, and the acting was really not that good, from these two main actors.

It was a really sad and disappointing movie.

Incestuous?

I watched this, partially b/c I like Xu Kai and Zhao Lu Si, but also b/c I was hoping it would NOT actually be the incestuous story the description made it out to be. From the get-go, they had 15 year-old brother Jun Xi looking at his little sister like he was (romantically) in love with her. And that was BEFORE any of the characters realized she was switched at birth. Like, what the actual crap? Are we going for a Jaime-Cersei vibe here? It is so weird to have a young teenage boy be in love with his sister. And it's not much better to have them fall in love when they're adults, after the truth has been revealed and they've been apart for some years. I mean, it's still very incestuous feeling; they grew up believing they were brother and sister! And then I was thinking (hoping), maybe it's one-sided and she'll reject him as soon as she realizes, but nope. Her little kiss on the clear plastic/glass while he was sleeping next to his painting made it clear that wasn't the case.

Reading through other reviews / comments, it seems like a lot of people were confused at the end as to who she married. I don't know why. People are also calling Xu Kai the male lead. Looking at the poster will clear both of those up right away (and if looking at the poster doesn't clear up who the main ML is, then just look at the cast list - Xu Kai is the second male listed.) The poster clearly shows Xu Kai off to the side while Zhao Lu Si and Jiao Rui in an embrace about to kiss. Plus, the wedding scene showed Han Tai (Xu Kai) walking her down the aisle, but he was essentially playing the role of a father in a Western wedding, handing her off to the groom, who was Jun Xi (Jiao Rui). Chinese weddings have adopted some things from Western weddings, but even when they've adopted certain customs, they often do them differently than we do. I think it's pretty clear she married the brother and then died, hence him walking alone through the tunnel.

Anyway, I gave this a 6, mostly because I know the actors are good actors and the production quality and music were OK, but the brother-sister love thing is just too weird for it to get any higher rating than that.

Mixed thought about movie

It is a movie so they didn't elaborate much every scene just give a glimpse of it.
Ends confuse a lot .he told her that he will be atree for her so don't lose hope and then they sat near water other lead come to suprise her then they both married so I thought happy ending but very last scene had shown he passed alone in the tunnel what we conclude that she is not with him ,she married to other lead so that can't be possible so she died but if she died then why he gave her hope. So confused.
About story ,it is very sad story, no happy moment . And ending is sad

Why It Would've been better if it was a drama

However, I have yet to watch the Korean drama version (original). But I could already tell that the Korean version is better, not because it's the original. But because it's a drama (show) and not a movie. Which is why this Chinese version doesn't quite stand well for me. If they made the remake a drama (show) instead, it would've been very good. While I was watching the movie, it felt like the plot was rushed. We were also missing a lot of key evidence which would've made us understand the plot and characters more. The romance scenes were portrayed in a time lapse sort of thing, so I couldn't quite get how she fell in love with her brother. It happened way too fast, I also don't know at what point the 2nd ML fell in love with the FML. The only clue I got was when the FML paid for the 2nd ML, in which he began to show an interest in her. It didn't show his process of falling in love with her, just him starting to pursue her. Maybe I'm just blind and didn't see it, but I'm pretty sure this is a great example of why it felt like the plot was rushed. If this was made into a drama, I feel like people would've understood more about the characters and how their character develops. Overall the plot would've been so much interesting if it was prolonged. It would've been such a great drama. Putting aside the feeling of the plot being rushed, the ending did a very well job in making me cry. Also, I don't really see how people find it odd that the FML fell in love with her "brother." Yes they were treated and raised as siblings for 12 yrs. But when you find out you really aren't brother and sister after 12 yrs, then get estranged for 12 yrs. You would feel like complete strangers, because they weren't together in the most crucial part of their lives. While you enter your teenage years and early adulthood; you start learning more about life, you start maturing, you go through adversities, you start experiencing lots of things, and etc.. You become different from who you were. Plus the MLs strong obsession with finding his "sister" and his longing for her in the beginning is probably HIS cause for falling in love with her. Because strong desires/emotions like obsessions (because you constantly think of the person/object) can easily change into love, well at least in the drama world. I'm not sure if I explained the whole brother/sister situation completely or properly. But then again it wouldn't matter if I was wrong about my whole analyzation of this weird romance, because the main point is that it's alright to ME...

THE MOVIE WAS NOT UP TO THE POINT , COULD BETTER AS A DRAMA

THIS COULB BE WAY BETTER IF THE DRAMA HAD BEEN MADE AS THE PLOT WAS PRETTY GOOD.
IN THE MOVIE IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE RUNNING PRETTY FAST BUT IF THIS HAD BEEN THE DRAMA THEN IT'LL BE VERY MUC H INTERESTING.

I LIKED IF THE ENDING WOULB BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.I LIKED IF EN XI HAD MARRIED TO HAN TAI INSTEAD OF JUN XI WHO WAS ONCE HIS BROTHER.

AND THE ACTING OF ALL THE THREE LEADS WERE VERY IMPRESSIVE(ESPECIALLY CUTIEPIE ROSY).

OVERALL THE STORY , ACTING , AND CAST WERE GOOD.

NICE ATTEMPT...!!!! :))

So bad

It was so bad I fast forwarded almost 45 minutes of the movie.

Story
The story doesn’t make any sense, it started well but then they chose shortcuts after shortcuts and it just doesn’t-make-sense, after 1 hour of non sense I decided to fast forward many scenes that were painful to watch
For instance, once you’re in a hospital, then you’re in a shop, then you’re in a house, without explanation what’s so ever why you’re in a place then the other then another
It’s extremely not well edited

Characters
The relationship between characters doesn’t make any sense and one relationship is creepy
Decisions taken from the main character don’t make sense as well, she keeps on blaming people around her for a decision she actually took herself

Acting
The main guys are good, Xu Kai delivers as usual and is great and basically the only thing good in this movie
The main actress is alright
Everybody else performance was poor especially one of the mother but maybe not their fault, it was not well scripted, as they spend their time crying

Overall
It’s terrible

Story Doesn’t Flow Well

This movie had potential to be a great story as the setup of the plot was decent. The story quickly went downhill early on.

Story

As my review title mentioned, it does not flow well. The story is sort of all over the place and is confusing at times. It was hard to gage what they wanted the story to focus on or what they wanted the main plot to be. There were also parts of the story that weren’t very logical and they seemed to force some of the disputes that were unnecessary.

Acting

Acting was over exaggerated at times and fell very flat. No one person stood out or did an amazing job. It was just okay.

I can see why this movie received lower ratings but thought I would give it a shot anyways. As I always suggest, watch and make your own judgement because some will like it and some won’t. This one wasn’t for me.
