Really fun and vibey film from the 90s. Really great bromance with natural chemistry, unquie camera shots, unexpected storylines, and complex characters made this a very fun watch.
I was intrigued by the unique concept, but ended up skipping a lot (all the explicit scenes.) The leads had really interesting characters with different perspectives, issues, worries, and conflicting emotions of what they want/need/love/thought they loved. The husband having severe depression and acts of self-harm could've been been delved into as well. Each character had traits to make them extremely realistic and 3 dimensional, but sadly most of the run time goes to the explicit scenes, leaving out a lot of character development and relationship growth. The leads had good chemistry and looked at each other with such warmth that it felt real, but there weren't many moments of them learning to love each other. Even with the ending, we don't get to see if the husband gets the proper psychological help that he needs or not.
I honestly didn't enjoy this much. Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, but this drama felt quite lackluster and forgettable. The directing is simple, the filter, lighting and costuming is sterile, the characters are flat, and there are too many side characters and they all have very little screen presence or charisma on screen. The only good thing were the talented leads, but the relationship felt awkward and stilted. They match/pair well, but they don't really have much chemistry.
There were many moments to showcase character depth with the secret behind the FL's change, the parents marriage issues and inferiority complexes, etc. But they're all plot devices that are thrown in and quickly discarded instead of layering them and doing so with nuance.
Could have been a meaningful story about greed, capitalism, dissociation with reality and "normal" people after becoming famous, etc. But instead it was really illogical and just didn't make much sense. If you're too busy thinking about how dumb something is, it's pretty hard to take a surface level moral seriously.
I love these genres of dance! This'll be so fun to watch! They should have Ten, Winwin, Kai, etc as guest stars with backgrounds in ballet, jazz, and chinese traditional dance.
It starts confusing, stays confusing but gets interesting then ends with an explanation I didn't see coming. Genuinely fun, surprising thoughtful, and they were super cute as a couple.

The taiwanese version is absolutely beautiful. Please watch that version before this one.
