Rubber Ducks and Missed Spark
Welcome to My Side is about Chen Xiao Zhou, who experiences something strange, every time he sees something yellow, everyone around him turns into a rubber duck. His life only returns to normal after he meets Feng Jia Nan.
This movie actually has an interesting concept with a touch of fantasy. It’s quite unique and could have been great if executed well, but unfortunately, that’s not the case here. Everything feels boring, from the directing to the script. Every moment the leads spend together comes across as bland, because they failed to capture any real chemistry between them, even though the individual acting is actually great. The script is also lacking, the slow first half needed to be more engaging, but the story only picks up in the second half after the plot twist.
Still, overall, I do get the message they were trying to convey, though I expected it to be delivered much better. It’s still decent for killing time, though.
