This is one of my very favorite films, actually....it is a close second to "Our Times" but not far behind. One of the most delightful films I have seen. As a fan of classical piano, this was just an added bonus because it is a wonderful love story and not only between the main character and his love interest but also between him and his father. Wonderfully written and acted. I have heard some criticism on the male acting but to that I do not agree at all. Jay Chou is fine and let's remember, he is playing a student. I mean, let's not compare this acting to Laurence Olivier in Hamlet.......he is fine and I thought his performance was spot on. As were the girls, they were both so good....and charming. I watch this film over and over and for good reason. Even 60 year old males like myself like romantic films and this is certainly one of them! Oh yes, how could I forget......how cool were those school uniforms that the girls wore? Wow, did they look beautiful!
