I think that this would have been better off as a drama with enough time for everything to move at an appropriate pace and give the proper explanations for the trauma and issues that all the main characters clearly have. It would also give the characters time to breathe and react and give that same time to the audience as well to absorb what they just watched.
They could have skipped the uncle thing. It's probably taken from the manga and might have had more of an impact in that form of storytelling, but didn't really add anything to the story in movie form and just ended up being kind of creepy and definitely inappropriate. It's obvious that both the uncle and Nao have an unhealthy attachment to each other, which is understandable as they both lost important people at the same time and a trauma like that has a bonding effect, but they could have just kept it at that without the added aspect of her mistaking her attachment as romantic love.
The tone of the movie is light, despite all the darker emotions lurking underneath. The negative aspect of that is the fact that those deeper emotions don't really get explored. Which again, they might have been able to do in a drama.
All in all, it's not a bad movie. Despite some unnerving things, for the most part it was a cute movie and I enjoyed it.
I sent this here since DYX is so cute and funny during the press conferenceš : https://twitter.com/xiao9jiu/status/1688474236590096384?t=ik_sZ69OVrG8OLWrK5Tw0w&s=19
I loved it more than I expected. There are plenty of revelations and twists to keep the story going, but what made this so interesting for me to watch were the characters. The characters were all very human and all their motivations made sense.
The three main leads did an amazing job portraying their characters.
Seems like most of us here are picking XiangLiu (for ourselves????) and 2nd pick TuShanJing for XiaoYao. š¤£š¤£š¤£I…
To be honest, in the novel Cang Xuan seemed almost like a villain to me instead of a ML. I really didn't like how he treated the FL. I was surprised to find out that he's supposedly the ML and TSJ and XL are 2nd MLs. At least that's how someone explained it to me. I was told that the title refers to him, as he is the one who lost her forever, which means that the author saw him as the ML. I was surprised, because it didn't seem like that at all when I was reading the novel.
Anyway, he is my least favourite and if the drama is a true to the novel adaptation, it's not going to change.
I'm not watching LYF yet. I need both parts to be out. I don't have the patience to wait. But, I can tell you…
I'd rather wait before starting, then wait for episodes to come out and then wait again for part two. There are still some dramas on my list that I have to watch anyway.
Her marrying both of them certainly would solve all the problems. š
Looks like quite many LUF/LYF watchers here. I see similarities in the ML characters with our TTEOTM's TTJ:1)…
I'm not watching LYF yet. I need both parts to be out. I don't have the patience to wait. But, I can tell you my opinion on the three based on the novel
1. Xiang Liu - was my favourite character. He was interesting and there was something heartbreaking about him.
2. Tu Shan Jing - was my pick for the FL. He was exactly the kind of person she needed. The person who would always put her first no matter what.
3. Cang Xuan - my least favourite of the three. He just wanted to control the FL and her life
So I was rewatching the first episode (yes, again) and it just reminded me that Tantai Jin wanted his life to end most of his life, because he wanted to end the suffering. And then when he finally found something to live for, he had to make the choice to sacrisifice himself to protect the very things that gave his life meaning.
Woooow, that review was angry. And unnecessary. I always find it interesting that Christians forget that their…
Exactly. It's sad how those people colour the world's view of religion, while as you have said the core of every religion (at least the ones I'm familiar with) teaches kindness, tolerance and acceptance.

I do think that he came into being in his adult form though
