An unexpected surprise
These days i’ve been watching a lot of Chinese movies, some are good and some are okay, but none of them was great! But this one! This was is different, this movie was AMAZING.It really has a wonderful and a meaningful story that u can’t help but relate to, it really makes u part of the movie, as u get sad, happy, or anxious with them and only hoping success and happiness for them.
I would say that the very beginning was not as interesting, but after that u won’t even feel time as u just keep enjoying it.
I really recommend it for whoever is looking for a good laugh AND a good cry. The story is indeed very meaningful, and the acting was on point, and it is a story that just keeps getting better so don’t miss such a gem.
P.S. the movie has a credit scene which really completes the movie beautifully.
