And when I first saw/watched it, I was bored, it didn't catch my attention at all. Yet, something made me continiue to watch it, and I still haven't figured out what.
It's a slow movie. You really don't get it at all in the beginning. You're constantly attempted to close it down and go watch something better. But at the same time there is this mysterious aura surrounding you from the very beginning. It lingeres in the air and prevents you from turning it off.
This is a movie that I normally wouldn't watch, since the plot summery (according to me) sucks. But I think it's a movie worth giving a try, since the actress succeded to give the watcher this "What happens next?, What happens next?" environment even if the story is boring.

Story: In the beginning the story was GREAT. It kept me going but then the major plot twist came and I was shocked by how big the plot twist was. However, they did not answer a lot of questions and left huge plot holes.... NOT good! I get that everything was in her mind but what about Xiao Xi? Did she really exist? Did Song Qi have a best friend? What about the police officer she talked with?? And the girl who looked like Xiao Xi? What about the the cousin of the alleged Xiao Xi who gave Song Qi the key because she recognized Song Qi as her best friend? What's going on?! I don't know !!! The ending was nice though since Song Qi ended up with Liu Dong and there was no longer pain for her... Speaking of that, what's up with the white hair?
Acting/Cast: 10/10 anyday. anytime. I have never watch Fan Bing Bing act after Princess Pearl and I have never liked her tbh but WOW. Her acting skills are by far the best from all of the Chinese actresses I have seen! No wonder she is famous! And not to say, she's gotten very beautiful. In 1998, she wasn't very pretty hmm.. anyways, great acting!
Music: creepy af music lolz
Rewatch Value: I don't mess with that psychological stuff.
Overall: I recommend it because I did finish it and did like it A LOT in the beginning. The plot twist was okay to me BUT THEY DIDNT ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS AND LEFT SO MANY PLOT HOLES so yeah.
