"If we love someone so much, would we be able to stand it when the time comes for us to part? And, if saying goodbye is a part of life, and you understand separation well, is it possible, Tong, to love someone and not be afraid of losing them? At the same time, I also wonder if it's possible to live our entire lives without loving anyone at all." — Mew
It is such a sappy, beautiful comfort film!
The movie hits close to home. It captures the heavy reality of growing up and the trouble of trying to feel like you belong when you are lonely and distant.
"It's like when we were younger, we were lonely because we didn't have a lot friends. And now that we are grown up, loneliness seems so much worse." — Mew
Aside from the main romance, Mew’s next-door neighbour, Ying, was hilariously unhinged. Her early attempts to make Mew fall in love with her were absolutely wild. But the moment she realizes Mew’s heart actually belongs to Tong, she immediately drops her obsession. Instead of turning into a toxic homewrecker, she becomes his fiercest defender and emotional anchor, which was refreshing to see.
Seeing how Tang's disappearance caused the entire family to break into pieces was a ride.
"As long as there is love, there is hope."
Totally, didn't see that bittersweet romantic confession coming at the end. It leaves you wishing Mew and Tong had actually ended up together, the emotional payoff is just lovely.
"I can't be with you as your boyfriend, but that doesn't mean I don't love you." — Tong
Loved it, it is a pretty blend of early-2000s nostalgia and deep, comforting melancholy that stays with you.
