this was a well made movie, it had good quality though the editing sometimes were messy. just becasue it's aesthetic doesn't mean it makes sense. the 1st bullying scenes made me confused whether it was a flashback, something that might happen or a glimpse of the future, but the next scene clarifies that it was "the present"..

the plot was basically a chain of convenient events. girl likes boy, boy is nice to another girl, girl feels jealous and starts bulling other girl while guy is actually flirting with a 3rd girl ;/
I feel like if Xiao Mi bullied Yi Yao becasue she saw her get bullied by other people would've made more sense..

also, both Qi Ming and Yi Yao lived in the same exact neighborhood like 2 feets apart so I don't get why his parents were acting high and mighty..
and he was the worst of all, which was basically bad writings fault, he was friends with her but he never noticed she was bullied that severely? and he was in the same class as her. why? becasue he was so "in love" with Sen Xiang that he basically abandoned his childhood friend ;/

Gu Sen Xi was a cutie and the sweet type of ml that needs to be done more often. he was friendly yet awkward, and he was always there for Yi Yao. though they needed more, more depth to everything.

something I liked about these highschool chinese movies is that their actors are actually believable as teenage, I don't know if it's just becasue their fls are tiny and short or the fact that they film in a more zoomed fashion but I hate 20 or 30 year olds that look fit for uni act as highschoolers ;)


that running scene made no sense. (minor spoiler) the girl had coffee spilled on her and next scene she was chased by 3 shadows in an abandon area.. like how did she get there and why? (plus the subs didn't cover the texts so I kinda got lost on that part ;D)

the dubbing was so artificial they lost alot of emotions and they were plain robotic so I deducted that from "music", plus their ost was louder than their conversations.

I never rewatch stuff so it's either 1 or 10
