Story: The story can be somewhat hard to follow at times unless you fully watch it without distractions, but it was a very good story. There was romance that build gradually through all the stages: shy beginnings, revealing secrets, awkward first kisses and laughs to bittersweet endings and new beginnings. The suspense develops slower than most, but the subtlety of it kept me wanting and watching more. I found myself questioning certain things and looking at the details; not to mention pondering over the idea of how well you actually know hose you love.

Cast: The cast was very nice. Miura Haruma fans are in for a treat; he not only looks great but does a wonderful job in a serious role, even learning Chinese well enough to not be subbed over, although errors are written into the script to remind everyone he is a Japanese man living in China. I thought the scripting was good, but his acting made it better.  Liu Cecilia did a wonderful job as the twins, adding small subtle things to make them different personalities and add to the suspense of wondering how well not only you know those around you, but how well you know yourself. There was always a slight charge of "what if...?" that filled the movie that I think the actors did a wonderful job utilizing to its full potential.

Music: I loved the music for this film. The instrumentals were placed well for situations, emphasizing both story and actors. If I knew where to download the soundtrack, I would.

Rewatch: This movie has a fair amount of rewatch value and you may even gain a new perspective if you do rewatch it. I will not watch it again for a while simply because it's not something I finished and went "Let's do that again!" It's a romance film for every once in a while.

Overall, it's a good movie if you want something that is carefully written, has good acting and it a bit more bittersweet.  I hope this helps and happy drama watching! :D
