This movie is the fictional tale of a trope that is quite usual in real life that is "right person wrong time". Although Shu Yan and Yu Xuan were able to overcome their curse of time, it doesn't quite happen in real life.
Upon first glace, the story of this movie seems like a typical time travel story, where both the partners try to save each other, sometimes even sacrificing themselves. However, after a while, I had understood the moral, a little bit. The universe is always pushing people in and out. As much as it is fate, it is also divine timing of events that results in key defining moments of one's life.

For Shu Yan and Yu Xuan it was death. If they stayed together, they'd fall to their deaths. However, when they met at a certain time after they usually did, it was divine timing. Both of them had achieved something that they wouldn't have otherwise. They were able to overcome their demise by wishing on candles.

The movie was executed perfectly. The message was vague but understandable. Albeit a little sad, but thought provoking. I was happy Shu Yan and Yu Xuan got their happy ending as not many couples get it in the real universe. As they say, it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
