A beautiful and Inspiring story
When I stumbled upon the trailer of this new movie on Netflix ,I absolutely expected a sad movie where one of them ends up dying or worse both ends up dying.But never have I been so happy to be wrong .This movie is abt 2 amazing people with such vibrant and infectious personalities. The actors have done such an incredible job breathing life into these characters .
Their story is inspiring .Both the main charcters have been dealt a bad card in life .While one of them is ready to give everything to fight this disease ,one of them have already given up.
How they both deal with their disease and their love for each other is the premise of the story .
Truly one of the best movies I've seen this year

Sprinting through life
I watched Vida La Viva mainly because of Peng Yu Chang, who has a magnetic screen presence that brings life to any role. However, what truly caught me off guard was the female lead’s performance. Her portrayal was so moving. They both give an emotional depth that felt genuine and heartbreakingly real.The storyline itself is well-paced and dynamic, carrying viewers along as if we’re living alongside these characters. There’s an urgency to each scene that makes you feel you’re sprinting through life with them, immersing you in their little joy, struggles, and aspirations to fight for their lives. It captures the intensity of their experiences in a way that’s both exhausting and exhilarating.
Will I rewatch it? Though the story telling is impactful and Peng Yu Chang’s films are mostly inspiring, I won’t. A little tears is enough for. (Sigh)

A Touching heart wrenching beautiful story
I will give a spoiler free review.If you are thinking of watching this i would recommend 100%. You are probably thinking its just like any other sad movie about a terminal ill patient but the story is so much more than that. Both actors are so good with their portrayals of the characters that it really sucks you in.
Its a fast pace story and you see the characters grow so much in the two hours.
Do get your tissues ready as expect some tears but its such a truly beautiful movie

A compact storytelling you should watch
This movie will always live in my head rent free. I love everything about the story and the casts.I watch this after watching Prince of Tennis and got amazed by PYC acting skills. He is 10/10. He can live the character. I learn so many things from this movie, including the word "Aoligei" that can boost my spirit in life.
