Ten Years of Loving You (2022)

Way too rushed or this would've been better

I was casually checking up for Ding Yuxi's upcoming works on his MDL profile page and came across this movie… the synopsis sounded interesting so I thought of checking it out… but wait what a blunder!

Having read the synopsis I knew this was gonna be a bit of rollercoaster and sad stuff… and it literally went like that… the plot moves with the speed of light, almost 3×10^8 m/s … that's the biggest complain I have here… they don't give you any time to adjust with the changes or understand the characters… the twist are like this, one thing happened, next this happens, then that and that…

the movie is 1 hour 44 minutes long, I wish it was at least 2.5 or 3 hours long… I won't mind the length but the story will be delivered better in that way.

Then they didn't even care to explain us the medical terms and elaborate us about the twists… I see they're crying but give me a reason to cry along with them… Tbh, the story isn't very bad as it seems, the only issue is the execution only if they showed us some basic character build up or some scenes related before verbally saying all the twists…

despite that some small scenes in between with the main leads that are barely of 1-2 minutes each are cute… as a cute pair they look great together but what a waste that the execution sucked… the only thing I am satisfied with is acting… I really hope the same leads work together for a better script… they deserve better…

from the OST lineup… I liked —
♪Accompany you♪ (sang by Yu Jiayun)
♪Ten years of smoke♪ (sang by Tang Hanxiao).

All in all, I don't recommend this to anyone. If you haven't watched any works of the cast before, please refer to their other works before cause this isn't the choice for a first impression.

Too Fast Paced...

I have not read the book so I can't comapre one to the other. I was intrested since I just saw the trailer and like Ryan Ding sine I saw him in Just an Encore.

The movie is too fast paced that even if I would feel emotionally invested I lost the feeling way too fast too.

The ML and FL were roommates of some sort. She is staying at his home because of issues with her family. They are neoghbors and the ML is the friend of her brother. In the course of them livig toether they fall in love but because the ML had some issues wiyhbhis family too he disappears for 7 years.

Years later he comes back and try to win her back and almost didn't get her back. And when he does get her back fate hands them a death blow. They both suffered apart got back together only to suffer again What a load of crap!

I'd say this is a waste of the talent of the people here some I have seen in other works and know how they could deliver and another thing the osts are too good for the movie. So sad that this was poorly written.

Rewatch value is a 0 for me. No matter how much I like Ryan this does not work for me. It is not a wate of time and they made the ending a happy ending but in fact it's not.
