No English Subs

I don't know if this is considered a "true" review since I was only able to find this 30-minute movie online with Thai subtitles and had no idea what they were saying, but I still wanted to write something.

This definitely seemed a lot more natural and easy-going and low budget, which is a 180 from the original drama. I loved the calmness of both mains carried with these roles. Bei Bei's voice wasn't as modified in this special as it was in the original, and her voice was a tad deeper which had this calming and easygoing effect. Zhou's character also had this outgoing coolness, but still also came off like a soft boy from the original drama. Also, I don't know why I also loved his long shaggy-ish hair in this.

This movie/drama was also mainly 15-20 minutes worth of flashbacks from the original drama - no idea if they were "past-lives" memories or just filler for the audience to remember what happened in the original drama.

The remaining 10-15 minutes was a cute little story about (this is me assuming based on the footage and not dialog) about two strangers (Zhou Shi Yun was an actor as he kept referencing names of movies; not sure what Bei Bei was - it is assumed she is a doctor, but all she did was perform a mediocre first aid job) who met by chance at a little street market where they were both were pulled in by a snow globe. Bei Bei let's the little girl that is with Zhou have the snow globe and asks them to come to her house to perform first aid when the little girl get hurts. There, Bei Bei and Zhou get to know one another by fixing a barbie lego castle thats gets knocked down and some midnight "power-outage & candle lit" ramen dinner. From there, they add one another on we chat and they, we assume, start their relationship.

Very simple, very sweet.

Not sure if they remember a possible past life since this snow globe seems to have some kind of power. But without the English subtitles, we will never know. Overall, I will give it a 7.5/10 just because I didn't know what was being said. If someone finds a version that has English subtitles, please let me know and I will write another review :)
