The Feel Good Part

It is a romantic movie, the romance between two consenting competent adults with their own lives, dreams, and abilities. Depicting both longing, pain, a lot of fluffy humor, and the struggles in understanding others. It is not dull and will make you feel various emotions, mostly fluff. It is a sweet rom-com with classic love over time.

The Disappointing Factor

The storyline of the movie was a bit predictable, and childish. The emotions were not very intense and Sehun’s fans would be disappointed to know that they had used a dubber for Sehun; it was not his real voice. Wei Long’s character was not his natural typical character; it somewhat lacked his usual charm.

Star Power

Everyone played their respective roles well, and the soundtrack suited the movie well. You’ll like how the love story of the leads wasn’t rushed but developed slowly. janice Wu’s acting was great as expected and their chemistry was acting, but still, they felt like a genuine couple somehow.
