I’d say the ending was actually kind of sad. The male lead doesn’t grow or change - his attitude toward relationships stays exactly the same, which leaves the film feeling hollow.

The Ending:

I found the movie a bit boring overall. Maybe it’s due to cultural differences, or maybe because it’s apparently a parody of A Moment of Romance (1990) - which I haven’t seen, so I probably missed some references.

That said, speaking honestly as a straight guy, the only thing I really enjoyed was seeing so many beautiful actresses on screen: Angelababy, JJ Jia, Chrissie Chau, Race Wong, Ella Koon, Lynn Xiong, Kate Tsui... other than that, there wasn’t much holding my attention.

Wait, what?
The rating after first 4 episodes aired was 8.1.
Now (only 1 episode to go) it's 7.5...
Is it that bad?

I struggled with rating this one. The age gap made me uncomfortable (and there were some unnecessary scenes that increased that discomfort). I guess it would be more acceptable if the timelines were 3-5 years apart.

Side note:
If someone ever takes a picture with your kid while saying they might end up together in the future… take their picture too - then call the police.

Senior Secret Love: Bake Me Love (2016) - new cake

A fairly well-executed take on the standard enemies-to-lovers trope - but only if you're watching for the main couple.

Also, I couldn’t help but wonder how not a single hair ended up in those cakes. Maybe they should’ve called it “Bake Me Some Hair”? 😄
