Love of May (2004)

This movie is basically about AhLei and Xuan who meet each other on a fansite for a band called Mayday. Ahlei manages the Mayday website because his brother Stone is one of the Mayday members. Xuan and Ahlei starts chatting with each other. Ahlei lies to Xuan about the Ahshen (another Mayday member) and therefore Xuan continues to chat with him thinking he is Xuan. Xuan is an Beijing Opera performer and her Opera troupe comes to Taiwan for a show. Ahlei and Xuan decides to meet in a bookstore in Taiwan. Ahlei is nervous about meeting her after the fact that he lied to her. He follows her around after she leaves the bookstore and meet again in the train. Xuan find out about his lie from his friend and confronts him. They continues meeting each other and going to different plays…that’s how more than half of the movie went.

Then at the end they added a totally random/crappy addition to the story…why waste making the movie at all?

This movie only has one thing: Good looking main cast. Lu Yifei was totally cute and Bolin Chen is beautiful. That’s about all it has. Story is very lacking…and I don’t know what to make of the acting either. Overall, I was totally bored out of my mind while watching this movie
