A bit rush, well what will you expect to a movie with limited time.
The romance factor of the movie is very well executed.
The chemistry of the lead characters is off the chart, no wonder why they used to date after the filming ended.
I love the adaptation from the novel to the big screen.
The cinematography is good as well as the casts and the director.
I am hoping there will be a sequel although in the novel they never really get back together despite of Lin Qi Zheng's effort to get Zhou Yu back to his side.
I recommend this movie a lot if you want a nice melodrama session.

the sister was a jackass, yeah loads of people r infatuated with their bosses / coworkers / teacher etc and someone follow through and send sms's or try to chat-them-up. but building some fantasy relationship in ur mind and then cause - imagination doesn't turn into reality u try to kill ur self - when the one ur infatuated with doesn't even know u exist?!? like WTF. how chemically imbalanced is this b*tch???? and if she is so messed up, why she roaming around and not locked up in a padded room??? especially after trying to self-harm, she needs observation, medication and professional help. don't get this.then there's the sister who goes to get "justice" for her nut of a sister. when she is confronted with his proposition, she as a lawyer can't come up with the main reason dating/starting a relationship with him would be a huge mistake not only a bad idea?!? i.e. her freaking nutter of a sister, that brought them together in the first place?!???
the way this starts already predicts how its gonna end, all the crying and going on, on Yi-fei's characters part is idiotic. story was trying hard to sell a grand romantic saga. didn't buy why after he asked her on the beach - if he could buy her, and then her finding out he frequented the coffee shop awaiting her every morning, was what flips her switch. hard sell for me.
Seung-Heon is as gorgeous as usual, so if ur only looking for eye-candy, both leads look gr8, but story wise - meh...

exquisite and a very tastefully done, simple love story
rewatched this movie after watching Song Seung Heon in Voice 4, LOL. i first discovered this movie after finding out that Liu Yifei was his real-life girlfriend then, and they had a movie together. i wanted to watch this movie because of this power-visual couple and boy, did they serve~also i must say i was curious about Song Seung Heon dating someone who's not Korean when there are so many beautiful Korean celebrities already, but when i watch Liu Yifei in this movie, i kinda understand LOL. her beauty is insanely breath-taking.
i am not really a movie person. i used to watch a lot of older Bollywood movies that are very well done, so i don't know much about good romantic movies from East Asia. i particularly find this movie just exquisitely done. there's just a good mixture of happiness, sadness and cute moments that permeates into the story making it really tasteful and well-balanced imo. i also really loved the way he loved her, and is always considerate of her despite fate being so cruel to both of them. he's just an all around a remarkable portrayal of the life of the super-rich, yet deep inside is just another human being who's lonely and willing to fight for his love.
give me good stories of ill-fated love anytime and this is definitely one!

2 reasons made me watch that movie from the beginning 1 was for sure (Song Seung)
& the other was i am fond of romantic stories
although i don't like much the chinese language
but the movie was ok
but also i felt the deepness was absent from it, that's y i felt it was a somehow shallow
the writer passes through the characters in a rush way
& that's made the story had many flaws & the plot wasn't strong
even the emotions in it i felt it sometimes artificial
the end was logical according to the events but provoking
cause we watch a movie to had a unique end that left us dreaming
what the hell was that ??? ... really i am so frustrated
SPOILER
.
.
.
i saw they fall in love too fast to be true cause she was just coming out of divorce so how come she fell for him that fast & strong
while she was passing through bad experience
..........
i am happy of what had happened to her sis X| i didn't feel sympathy at all for her
cause it was illogical at all what she is doing from the beginning
she is a real crazy B****

Sigh!
Read all the reviews and had a fair idea of the sister and ending yet had to watch this for the leads.I'm obviously a romcom venturer so could not give up on a movie with the ML.
I wonder what kind of a life he has with looks like that. He's just stunning to look at plus the intensity in his expression can flutter the hearts of women stepping into their graves. They could use his picture to revive women suffering heart beats.
Didn't care about the sister nonsense, but the story and romance are great.
Inconclusive endings are irritating in romance - think about it - we watch this genre for slurpy schweeet moments, so it's unfair that the end of the slurpee has a pebble that cracks our tooth and bites our cheek.
