17th Entrance (2011)

It felt so real.

A beautiful story about an old man who never forgot the love of his life, that he lost in the war.
When he encouters a young man that looks just like his long lost love, he follows him , thinking back at te time his love was stil by his side. He even gets confused that the boy is his lost love. When they finaly have a confrontation he is forced to realize that the boy is not his lost love and he is finaly able to move on, knowing his love is never coming back.

I read comments that this drama is confusing, well i didn't find it confusing at all....it's a beautiful story and i even cried wen he finaly realized his love was never coming back.

The drama isn't a high quality drama, but for me that gave the drama more impact, it felt real.
The actig was not great but good enough and the kisses were good.
The visuals were ok and the music is nothing special, but it fits the movie.

For me, though the drama really moved me, one time watching was enough.

DongHwa's sensitive review on gaytitulky.info made me want to watch the movie, and I don't regret it. The Taiwanese have shown that they can spin stories of beings who like the same sex, and in other ways. Yes, it can be confusing story-wise at first, but it all works out. Not everyone is so perfect and smart that in their old age they would behave the same as when they were young and old. Love for one being almost made him lose his mind and the actor KIng was rightly nominated for the best actor at the Golden Bell Awards 2011. The music complemented the story nicely. Even those who do not understand what the creators wanted to convey can be old and unjudgmental. Namely, that humans are imperfect, they are not gods, and that's what Chao Hsueh-Ping's character showed...
