Sometimes I wonder, if I myself got this illness what will I do...? Will I got frustrated like Lu Yao (LY) or I'll be chill and life my live normally like Lucy Whitmore in 50 first date. And if that happen to me will I find the love just like those 2...?
Love is really magical, it can make you remember little thing about the one you love, like LY always remember Xing Yue (XY) deep down his memories.
The only problem I have with this movie is why they have to continue the last 30 min of this movie. Why don't they stop when LY & XY together. Yeah that last 30 minute is the one make this movie more memorable, so I don't know is that bad or good thing about this movie. But overall I really happy I found this movie...

They did the "lost memory" meme really well
This was a really well-done analysis of someone who has daily memory loss (no ability to store new long-term memories). They presented the story really well from the perspective of the ML who is the person with the memory issue. They capture his confusion, and all the methods he uses to keep track of his life (post it notes, videos, etc), and the little things he struggles with. They capture his emotions, angry, sad, happy, and manage somehow to convince you that he doesn't get depressed about it but instead choosing to live in the moment.... but it's realistic because there is a scene or two when he does show the anger and depression that results from the ailment. They talk through a variety of psychological / therapy approaches, and give you a justification of what works and doesn't. (No idea if any of this is medically plausible, but it's believable). Jasper Liu gives you a very believable character.FL does a fabulous job showing how she deals with her job as therapist and finding herself falling in love with her patient. Both the ethical boundary, and how she resolves it. Then once the relationship is established, the way she protects him and supports him when other people might get angry.
The couple have great chemistry, and broadly the cast as a whole comes together nicely.
The twist could have been handled really badly. As soon as the event happened, I thought "oh dear, that's another show that will get a bad review from me," because I thought there was no way they could do a good job. But they handled it EXTREMELY well; in a genre that is done badly so often, doing it well earned them huge positive points. Watch all of the end credits to se how things progress over multiple years.
In "50 first dates," the FL is the one with the memory issue, and the story is told from the ML's point of view (i.e. we don't really see what's going on in her life). It was nice to see it done from the perspective of the person with the memory-loss.

Memories can be forgotten, but emotions will never disappear
Even if every day started with a hello and an introduction, she still loved the him of now and would continue loving the him of tomorrow.The past is completely wiped out, every day. Memories only stayed for the present day. Emotions lingered in the future. That's what makes this story so sad--no matter how clear the memory was, he could never remember. What is clear though, is that Lu Yao never forgot the love he felt for Xingyue.
Lu Yao lives a very painful life, it's hard to imagine what it'd be like to be in his shoes. He feels the emptiness, the love, and the longing, but he doesn't know from where, how, and when he got it. At the same time, it's beautiful that no matter what day it is, he still finds Xingyue again and again and comes back to her. Xingyue kept her willingness and her courage to keep coming back to him too.
Tragic, but beautiful. I wasn't expecting the sudden twist, but because of it, the beginning made so much more sense to me. Pay attention to the smallest details and you will understand.
Also, I just want to emphasize that the actors did an AMAZING job. I could feel their emotions right through the screen and that's why it felt so real and I felt so touched. Jasper Liu always manages to take roles from the saddest movies, I associate crying with this man now (in a good way, he is so so incredible at this genre). What can I say, I cried for a good 30 minutes straight after that ending. BRING TISSUES.

Meu primeiro pensamento quanto terminei foi:Caraca, a vida é muito injusta.
Eles apresentaram a história muito bem na perspectiva do Lu Yao, que é a pessoa com problema de memória. Eles capturam sua confusão e todos os métodos que ele usa para acompanhar sua vida e as pequenas coisas com as quais ele luta. Eles capturaram muito bem essas suas emoções.O cérebro é tão incrível que mesmo não lembrando totalmente, Lu Yao ainda tinha algo bem lá no fundo de sua mente que o fazia saber que tinha algo ali, um sentimento por Xing Yue, mesmo as memórias podendo serem esquecidas as emoções nunca desapareciam.
Ele sente o vazio, o amor e a saudade, mas não sabe de onde, como e quando conseguiu isso.
Olhando com os olhos da vida real, deve ser tão difícil manter um relacionamento com uma pessoa assim, todos os dias sendo necessário responder às mesmas coisas e reviver tudo como se fosse a primeira vez para você também.
Assistam também as cenas pós-créditos para ver como as coisas progrediram ao longo de vários anos.
