This one is pretty weird, it starts in the middle and ends before the first part, so if you don't pay attention you will lost into the story. What I like is the mysterious ambiance throughout the film, slow pace just helps to arouse my curiousity. It also has this dreamlike/dejavu element, which you'll ask yourself "did I see this scene before?". The key theme I think is "isolation/lack of communication", characters met but they didn't connect, they fail to convey their thoughts properly.
If you like slow burn type of movie with a taste of mystery then you'll end up liking this.
It's like terrace house with crazy characters having very complicated relationships, so I find myself having a hard time relating to them. I also think female viewers would find this drama cute because of doki doki moments, actually this drama might just be a big fanservice given the amount of attention it's getting. But since I'm a guy I don't give a damn about those moments, I just finished it for the sake of finishing it. LOL
I was waiting for the twist that never happen. I'm still not satisfied with the ending I think there's still more mystery they didn't show. How is she part of the main cast and that drama's poster? Damn.
Don't ever look for crazy DEVELOPMENT or make sense of the PLOT in a pure CHARACTER DRIVEN stories cause you'll only be disappointed. Obviously this movie is not for majority of people here on the comment section. Don't ASSUME if you see your favorite actor that it will be your typical mainstream movie cause sometimes these actors look for challenge and get casted to ARTHOUSE type of films.
I hope one day Jdramas will get anime treatment, but who am I kidding, it won't happen for many different reasons. Great article, people should know that there are hardworking people putting subs for their favorite dramas, and just like what guy below me mentioned, kissasian etc. don't make subs, they don't deserve any credit at all.
I was waiting for Takahata Mitsuki to appear, I didn't know she voiced the cat, it doesn't sounds like her hahhahaha. Good movie, predictable, but heartwarming if you're an animal lover. I love the pacing too, you won't be bored.
Doesn't matter who's right or wrong what's important is knowing how we reach to that conclusion as discussions is very important, world is not black and white. I appreciate how Jdramas dive deep to tackle controversial issues. Solid acting as you would expect to a WOWOW drama. The ending song is beautiful too, not sure if Kou Shibasaki is the singer, it sounds like her though.
Brilliant movie about a strong female who will do anything for the sake of love. The setting is gang underworld but don't expect it to be purely action and violence as the movie, for the most part, is very compassionate and shows the female lead's strong resolve. It's also a social commentary on china's rapid growth development which mirrors movie's main narrative. The soundtrack is also beautiful from iconic 80's western music to beautiful chinese love songs.
