2-Storyline/Plot : Many would think that the story of an idol falling for a normal girl is so common and cheesy but this film story took a different level since it focused on finding a soulmate through music so the plot's setting was sort of unique. However, the romantic side wasn't satisfying since the story's development didn't focus on many important elements.
The music in here was amazing: a combination between classical Chinese music and the modern Chinese pop; I don't really focus on any film/drama's music while watching especially Chinese ones but the music felt like a deep core in this film. Great job!!
3-Acting/Cast : Wang Leehom has done everything here: playing the dorkey, the famous, the smart, the dumb; he did a great job indeed.
The lead actress succeeded in playing the innocent simple character; The cast was good enough and the acting was satisfying.
4-The ending : A typical rom-com ending; nothing special about it.
5-My Impression: Whan I started watching this film, I didn't have any expectations for it but later on I surprised myself by liking it plus I was literally blown by the music, I never thought that it could've been that great.
6-Overall : If you're rom-com lover then you would like this.
If you like idol shows then you need to watch this.
If you like classical or modern Chinese music then you would love this.
If you like Wang Leehom then you really need to watch this.

I think the fact that Wang Leehom wrote, directed and created the music for this should be seen as amazing. For me it was nothing special just your typical romcom but I still found it enjoyable.
I recommend this to anyone.
Happy Watching :)

Story: It's cute, somewhat original, sweet & heart-felt story about a famous idol who ends up in a classical music academy after he hears this girl playing a zither(a takim I think). Funny antics, drama, romance & amazing music ensues.
Acting: The acting was very good, but could be better. They show a lot of emotion, especially when the main lead sang or the students played their instruments. It was still good, I actually cried a little in this movie.
Music: I think this movie has the best ost ever. I think the music is what stand out in this movie, especially it's in a music genre. I felt some of the emotions in the songs that were in the movie(especially the ballad & the instrumental music).
Why watch?: The amazing music & the actors/actresses, if you like easy, heart-felt movies. I would rewatch this movie if I have time.
This is my 10th Taiwanese movie! This movie is definitely in my top 5 best Taiwanese movies of all time. :) Hope you enjoyed my review, & you should watch it when you have the time. You won't regret it.

I love good movie and so a good song. This movie provide them both. The story idea is not a 100% new, but I love the music part on this movie. Pop or hip-hop music is common, but I really amazed when both genre combined with Chinese traditional music. They're surprisingly great and easy listening! (^_^)
Flow shifting in this film is quite neat. Although it's not very detailed (I have to remind myself that this is a 98-minutes film), but it doesn't feel like there is a jumping plot, so it's still pleasant to watch. I also like the idea of using a song as a sign to find a soulmate.
The acting of the casts are good, especially Leehom Wang and Hank Chen. They're so funny as a Nail Town citizens (^o^)
Honestly, I prefer Leehom Wang as A Duh, than as DMH. He is so cute with the wig and round glasses (^_^)
