Heartwarming Story of a Girl and Her Annoying Brother
Rated on movie standards:
Used to be: 8.75
Now: 8.5
I didn't expect to enjoy this. I even cried a bit (I don't cry often, so that means something). I watched this with my kid brother, so this is definitely a family movie. (there are some immature and funny parts in the beginning)
Story:
-surprisingly well developed characters
-funny sibling shenanigans
-dysfunctional parents
-cute school setting
-fantastical elements (be careful what you wish for)
-meaningful themes (sometimes the people who really care about you aren't the people you'd expect)
-This movie made me wonder, as an older sibling, that does my younger brother think I'm crazy? Probably. But I hope that when I'm being bossy about somethings and laidback about others, it's because I care, in my weird older sister way. But to him, at the end of the day, I'm still crazy 😂
Ending: Bittersweet. Last 10-20ish minutes, my eyes were tearing up. Wish we got one more scene of them together
-although this drama was pretty good, it didn't have that "it" factor. It was missing something deeper, but I couldn't figure out what.
Acting/Cast:
-ages are not too bad. Female lead, Zhang Zi Feng, was 16 at the time it was filming. Her older brother, played by Peng Yu Chang, was 23. Her best friend, played by Zhao Jin Mai, was 15. Even one of the guess appearances which I didn't expect, Zhou Yi Ran, was 17.
-I was so surprised when I saw Zhao Jin Mai and Zhou Yi Ran. I didn't even believe it at first 😂
-everyone acted well enough (but nothing extraordiary)
-the sibling chemistry between Zhang Zi Feng and Peng Yu Chang is very good
-the styling of everyone was very slice of life. No white-white skin or blinding filters. Very realistic looking
Music:
-doesn't seem to have an ost
-background sounds were good
Rewatch:
-I would. Very cute movie
Overall:
I'd recommend if you want
-cute siblings
-youth drama
-simple story (nothing is overcomplicated)
-meaningful story
-family
-important themes
Then watch!
