It's pretty bad.. I was actually excited to watch this since I loved the anime but everything about this is just...meh the acting isn't great and the script seems awful. This should be a comedy but most of the time I just get annoyed when they're trying to make the scene funny.
I do not speak mandarin (so if anyone does correct me if I’m wrong) but have picked up a bit from watching cdramas.…
Actually Mandarin does use gendered pronouns! But they are pronounced the exact same way so there is no way to know for sure from spoken language. I checked the Chinese subtitles just now and they actually do use the character for she/her (她) throughout the movie. I checked the subtitles which are on Netflix but I'm not sure if those are the ones shown in movie theaters etc. But you are right. It's a tricky thing to translate but the Chinese subtitles were definitely using she/her on purpose. Those who know can enjoy the movie as a queer coming-of-age movie while others will never know the hidden storyline.
He, Him: pronounced as [ tā ]: 他 She, Her: also pronounced as [ tā ]: 她
I watched the movie yesterday and after these comments, I realized the whole hidden meaning of the movie :'D I'm lowkey mad at myself for not figuring out that he was gay. I'm gonna blame the subtitles for using she/her all the time but I'm not sure what the Chinese subs used... I'm gonna check them out later. But I guess they used she/her since he never really corrected her when she talked about his 'girlfriend'.
This is one of the most academically styled comments I've ever seen. Pleasingly written and argued! Honestly, I have to agree with you on every point. It's a good drama with many great aspects but it really could have been more than just good. I don't think I even have to write my own review since yours is this good XD
This is one of the worst dramas in 2021. The only reason I'm not completely dropping it is because there is only 2 episodes left. I'm gonna skip through those in 10 minutes and I'm gonna go on with my life. There is so many better dramas to watch. I don't think I've watched any of the episodes without skipping after episode 2.
Honestly, I didn't have any high expectations for this movie. The cast looked great but I had not even watched the trailer so I didn't have any idea what to expect. But oh wow this was amazing. Such heart-warming stories and it fits the end of the year so well. 10/10 movie to end the year with.
