When tolerance runs out what then?

I didn't expect to like this movie as much as I did. The plotline is a little insane and fanciful but it entertained me. When you've been with your partner for 10 years, is the love the same or have you just grown accustomed to eachother? When the tolerance runs dry what happens then? You long for something new. When left alone to your own literal devices, you crave companionship.

That is what ultimately happens with Xiao Feng and Hao Wen, the tolerance for eachother wears out; Xiao Feng gets annoyed by Hao Wen's piano playing and Hao Wen gets annoyed by Xiao Feng's presence cause he can't seem to find the inspiration for his music anymore and it leads them to seek understanding and love from an app that gives them a companion that seems all too real to be true. Can an artificial heart fill the void of human love though?

I personally enjoyed the acting in this movie and loved the chemistry between the actors. Not much to say on that except I felt every emotion and never felt stale.

The music was beautiful ( mainly the songs composed by Hao Wen) but didn't leave much of an impression.

The visual fx were great.

I wouldn't mind watching it again out of pure enjoyment or when I have nothing else to watch.
