our times is good nostalgic,light hearted, teen romance with age old cliches thrown in between. it reminded me those shoujo romantic mangas which i used to fangirl for. probably that is the reason, i am not impressed with story line. even though story is not unique, it had great funny and cute moments which are squeal worthy.
also school background and story presentation are done well. but major credit goes to acting. this movie is completely performance driven. wang darren and sung vivian did great jobs emoting hsu taiyu and truly. they were silly, adorable, caring and loving through out. romance between them felt natural and never forced. the characters other than Main Characters are also interesting to watch and were acted well. their performance made me buy story with usual romance tropes, that are sometimes relatable
music is good. there is this one song which caught my attention. cinematography and settings were good and made it feel like an old movie with bright colours.
however, i fell in love with actors here so much that i was disappointed that they were not casted as grown ups. i also have certain complaints with the ending. i wish things could have been better without that. nevertheless,for someone who are new with story will be able to thoroughly enjoy.
if you really want to watch a movie that reminds you of your crushes, first love, first break up . you can watch this. you will enjoy it.
