A HIDDEN GEM LIKE NO OTHER
This movie gave me what any other drama series couldn't. So pure, so innocent, delightful. This movie will remind you of your first love, your unrequited love, and your fantasy with them.A plot where you can help but feel wholesomeness and warm-hearted. A cast that can make you experience life, longing, fluster, love, regret, and sadness all in just 1 hour and 30 minutes. It would have been even better if this was a drama series. As a person who doesn't get emotional easily, tears started rolling down towards the end. It is indeed rare to see such movies nowadays. Two individuals unsure about each other feelings want no regrets but have to make sacrifices. There is no kissing scene but you would still feel chemistry burning and the romance thriving .

This one got to me!
This is a slow (in a good way), simple and beautiful story. I'll start with the bottom line - it's been quite a while since I've cried watching something, and I cried a couple of times during this movie. I was swept into the story and could feel the nervousness of the female lead, but she wasn't portrayed as a loser at all. The meeting of the leads was shown in a good way, and I was rooting for them from the start. Wu Nien Hsuan as Yi Bin and Zhou Yi Ram as Tong Zhi Liao were perfectly cast. I could feel sparks between the two from the beginning. I was torn, I wanted to find out what happened, but I also wanted it to go on and on. It was a lovely journey of discovery and spoke to lost chances and regrets. The story line of the old lady and her regrets mirrored the lead couple perfectly.Normally, I struggle with Chinese dramas, the episodic ones are normally too drawn out for me, and the movies often don't give me enough time to invest in the characters. add to that my problems with dubbing and overacting, you'll see my dilemma. This movie was, quite simply, a hidden gem. I happened upon it quite by accident. The script is good, and the acting is understated. There are no over-the-top characters, and they are all likeable in their own way. No love triangles, and there wasn't much time spent on any of the secondary characters, other than the old lady, so we really got to know the main couple.
I might watch it again, if only to get lost in the story once again. The ending is ambiguous, and I think that's for the viewer to decide what they want to happen. I choose to go the happily-ever-after route.
I can happily and unapologetically recommend this movie!

The easiest 10/10 I give to a movie
I've never watched a movie in daylight before !I started this one not expecting much. Just because it popped up in my ytb feed and I was bored. BUT, thankfully there is a but, I loved every single second of it.❤️
I would've regretted not watching it. It went beyond my expectation, and the ending.. AAH the ending, I hate to say it but it's realistic. I share too many common points with the FL even the point of being in my final year. I wish to live a true love like hers and that my ending would be happier. Kudos to the actors they aced it! it's my first time seeing the ML and he is so handsomely talented.I'm a fan. He looks so much younger than 27 ?

Sweet simple college movie
I decided to watch this with hesitation but the plot made me do it as I feel like watching a movie with confession issue. ?I love how simple yet emotionally appealing to me. It was a good story, it’s giving me a 90s vibe with a slow-paced. Sometimes I just feel like watching something simple but with a good story plot. The plot was predictable to me, but that’s not really an issue for me as I’m more curious how their relationships build up.
I find their friendship really cute and sweet, and I wish I have those experiences in my life. Sad.
I love the cast too, they’re so compatible with each other. I love her innocent look, her letters and how detailed she is writing it.

I love the ending. First time (I believe ) watching a movie without a kissing scene. But it’s still sweet❤️.
2:17am. Good morning to start my February 2023.
