Depicts Reality at Its Best

Just discover this movie last two weeks. Since then, I had watched it for two times already (the second one is just to thoroughly gain insight and conforming of what I’ve truly understand about this movie). Honestly speaking, this is one of the best movies I ever watched as far as I could remember. Everything in this movie are perfectly written and portrayed. I love how realistic this movie was all about. The fact that we all know ‘not all love lasts’ and not everything are ‘meant to be’. This movie really hits home though and make me cry bucket of tears. It portrayed the reality of life, the struggle in relationship, the struggle in daily basis in order to survive the life, and love that we expect to be happily ever after and dream that we wishes will come true. Also, at certain point, we know love alone is not enough to bring a relationship to a stable point. This movie shows that not all love story end in happy ending like fairy tales. Plus, it gives us (audiences) the sense of a proper closure. Just how the couple end their relationship at the end.

I love everything about this movie. Zhou Dongyu as a female lead is a perfect choice for this role. She nailed the character of Xiao Xiao. The male lead (Jing Boran) is equally good in delivering his character. I love them both and hopefully they can reunite in another movie or drama. I love their chemistry. I felt all the emotions they delivered. Amazing job for both of them. And the role of ML’s father had me bawled my eyes at the end. “He become matured now, and I know it’s because of you.” He’s a father everyone would want to have.
Sobs ;(

Oh, don’t even start about the OSTs of this movie (I only know two of them and I’m hooked over the songs). The first one is the soundtrack sung by Eason Chen titled Us (women). Oh, please listen and understand the lyrics behind it. Heartbreaking and painful to describe. One of the lyrics written “my greatest regret is that your regret involved me..” if this not painful, I don’t know what else to say. The second song from Hebe Tien (title roughly translated as Friend who’ve love for a long time), if you recalled this song was played during their making love scene. I love this song too as the lyrics really kills me inside. For that, I gave 10/10 for the OST.

Anyway, a big applause to the production especially Rene Liu for creating this masterpiece. I would rate this movie 10/10 and definitely will come back again to rewatch this movie. This movie will stay in my mind forever, for how great and realistic it was. Highly recommended movie to watch!
