So this drama had me laughing out loud one minute and feeling the sad weight of society and family pressure the next. I could feel for the brother and sister, but for their mom too. I mean, how hard to have one gay child in a restrictive communist country, let alone two! For Chinese people family is the number one important thing, especially the family lineage and continuing the line through the grandchildren. So imagine how hard to find out that both of your children are gay and are in fake marriages! But on the other hand imagine feeling desperate enough to get married just for the sake of trying to please your family and society. I liked the movie and that it explored those things but at the same time I don’t think that they really develop the characters much beyond the fact that they were “gay “. The female characters got the most development and personality. But the gay men characters had no backstory, had no motivation. Beyond finding out that one was from South Africa, that’s about all the personal information you got on them. So from the standpoint of why their relationship was so important, I didn’t feel as much connection to them. But overall it was a good movie. Could’ve been developed more if it had been a tv series, maybe.
