Ten Years of Loving You (2022)

Way too rushed or this would've been better

I was casually checking up for Ding Yuxi's upcoming works on his MDL profile page and came across this movie… the synopsis sounded interesting so I thought of checking it out… but wait what a blunder!

Having read the synopsis I knew this was gonna be a bit of rollercoaster and sad stuff… and it literally went like that… the plot moves with the speed of light, almost 3×10^8 m/s … that's the biggest complain I have here… they don't give you any time to adjust with the changes or understand the characters… the twist are like this, one thing happened, next this happens, then that and that…

the movie is 1 hour 44 minutes long, I wish it was at least 2.5 or 3 hours long… I won't mind the length but the story will be delivered better in that way.

Then they didn't even care to explain us the medical terms and elaborate us about the twists… I see they're crying but give me a reason to cry along with them… Tbh, the story isn't very bad as it seems, the only issue is the execution only if they showed us some basic character build up or some scenes related before verbally saying all the twists…

despite that some small scenes in between with the main leads that are barely of 1-2 minutes each are cute… as a cute pair they look great together but what a waste that the execution sucked… the only thing I am satisfied with is acting… I really hope the same leads work together for a better script… they deserve better…

from the OST lineup… I liked —
♪Accompany you♪ (sang by Yu Jiayun)
♪Ten years of smoke♪ (sang by Tang Hanxiao).

All in all, I don't recommend this to anyone. If you haven't watched any works of the cast before, please refer to their other works before cause this isn't the choice for a first impression.

Short but meaningful

He is the reason I watched this film. I can't believe I sobbed while watching this movie. Ding Yu Xi deserves to appear in more roles and films. He is a superb actor. The moment with his friends at the beach telling his last instructions is my favorite. Not to spoil the movie, but it is the scene where I couldn't hold back my tears and started sobbing! This is one of the saddest movies I saw this year, yet I won't give it a perfect 10 because it made me cry ugly tears! Plot is good but the movie itself feels like it has been squeezed to 1hr and 45mins. If a lengthy movie implies that every scene will be explained, I don't mind. But that's part of the appeal of some movies—they allow the audience interpret the situations from their point of view.

Overall, the movie is brief but poignant. It encourages you to value others around you. Please all be reminded! Tell the people you care about, "I love you."

Would I recommend this movie? Yes! I don't mind having another viewer cry ugly tears :)
