The best thing about the movie is, that its not over dramatic, or too sad, depressing and so. The story is actually very simple, cute and optimistic - just a little untraditional love story about two young people who just met each other :)
There is not much speaking in the movie, they mostly use the sign language. Thats why someone could say that it will be boring, but thats absolutely not true. The way they use sign language is so interesting, that it catches your eyes and make it more interesting.
If you are looking for a movie, that is positive, nice and optimistic, this is for you. It a good way to spend your time whenever you are depressed :)

The acting is great, I have no complaints about any of it (:The guy who plays Tian Kuo, Peng Eddie, does a good job, his character was so cute! And the actresses who played the girls were also good, it makes me wonder if they actually knew sign language or just learned the parts they needed to know for the movie.
I enjoyed the music that was played throughout the movie. Although I don't know the names of the songs, they were nice (:
I can see myself watching this movie again sometime, so my rewatch value for it is high (:
Overall - I think this movie is worth watching (: It's a cute, not too dramatic, nice story. It gives you a break from your typical love story and instead provides something a little less complicated but just as enjoyable (:

There's no main reason why I watch this. I just see it accidentally and decided to watch it right after that. I really didn't regret watching this and I personally think this is amazing movie !
Story is amazing. Unique, Inspiring, Touching, Amazing ! So many word can describe (lol) just perfect. I love how the story turn out to have 'secret' lol. Really amazing and inspiring, give us tons of lesson.
Acting and music are great. I don't know any Taiwanese actors or music so this is quite good for me. And I think the male lead is cute lol. Also that Yang Yang sister is really pretty :)
Overall I really love this movie and really recommend this movie ! Everyone should try this movie :')

This movie is unique and surprisingly optimistic. The relationships are complex in a simple way. The movie really digs into the feelings of the hearing impaired when dealing with their loved ones. Chen Ivy as Yang Yang was really awesome. She is very expressive. There is a beautiful sisterly love. Although I figured it out before the end of the movie (as you probably will), there is a nice surprise ending. This movie is silent which to me is why it has such impact.
I recommend that everyone watch this movie.

I love this movie so much. I've seen it probably about 15 times now and every time I watch it, it just gets better.The story is really well written and it really gets down to facing some of the issues that deaf people face in this world (at least in the Taiwanese world).
The acting is fantastic. Both Eddie Peng and Ivy Chen can pull off being cute and yet not too sugary or obnoxiously annoying. Eddie plays a fantastic lovable dork (yes, he is a dork in this movie).
There is a pretty decent plot twist in this movie too that I totally didn't see coming (don't worry - I don't do spoilers).
And of course, the final reason why I love this movie - all the sign language. I've been fascinated by sign language for a long time. I love that probably about half of the movie's dialogue is in sign. I just think it's so cool. Hopefully I'm not the only one.

SPOILERS AHEAD , READ IT AFTER WATCHING THE MOVIE :" Love and Dreams are miraculous . They don't need to be heard , to be said or translated "
Just Wow . I mean At first glance , I thought that the movie was bound to be emotional and the plot might get cliche' . The first 1 hour of the movie was Good enough to make me believe this has to get an emotional end without anything much left .
After that 60 Min cross , BOOM . .xD
I was Baffled by the plot twist .. Haha ..
I was kinda confused when Yang said to her sister that the boy was deaf like her . I was like Okay a plot twist is about to come .
But then near the swimming pool scene I thought that Her hearing came back since she kept her head inside the water. Ya , Ya I know so dumb of me to think that . But that was the Biggest plot twist .
I mean I never thought she could speak . But that was the Perfect aim of the movie .
To be able to understand each other without saying anything . It was the best ever message in terms of emotions i have ever seen .
Just wonderful .

"They are kids as long as they aren't married "
LMAO .. !! Just asian parent kinda thing .xD
Also that water Bird reference was right on the mark . Even I thought that about her when she was jumping around and walking near the swimming pool . .Hehe . .xD
There were so many cute scenes in the movie . Like her being a street performer . And Then the boy talking to her on the street . . Haha . Just damn sweet .
I often wondered how hard it would be for hear impaired people , or anyone with any deformity in their body ?
We say our own normal lives are difficult but what about them then ?
Cheers to all of such people . Claps to their determination .

Sweet, odd, very, very quiet...
A movie revolving around the hearing impaired without actually including hearing impaired leads.This was a pretty sweet rom-com about a hard working boy who falls in love with a heard working girl , and chases her only using sign language and his adorable charm.
The movie has a slightly odd angle to the subject of love beyond sound and about 95% of the dialog is shown using sign language even thought the main characters have pretty good hearing and can both use spoken words and sound, The two start off using sign language and do not really seem to need sound to fall in love. A pretty decent message as a whole, and I guess showing that hearing or non hearing should not matter is easier when there is a possibility of actually hearing and does give this movie a certain uniqueness.
What i liked about the movie was the way they showed the sibling relationship as well as both perks and troubles of being a sibling to a person with a disability. I also liked that the movie did not ignore prejudice and problems both mede by society and by the disability it self that can affect a persons day to day life without letting it take over the story or be the only side of it. I also liked that they did shoe that it is possible for the hearing to learn sign language and that it is possible to make a whole move using it instead of spoken language too.
But I was a bit bothered by the abele bodied being in focus for the story of the disabled. Even if the stories message as a whole is people with disabilities are human, they can be independent and competent human beings... something just does not really sit right.
All in all an okay movie, nothing wow but definitely different and the leads are sweethearts indeed.
