Masterclass Acting Meets Messy Plot

As a die-hard fan of the drama series, I was both excited and a bit wary about how they'd condense my beloved storyline into a neat 100-minute package. Let's just say, it was a ride.

From the get-go, I was hit with a wave of nostalgia as familiar faces graced the screen. Greg Hsu, you're a legend, my friend. His transformation into different characters is a masterclass in acting — I mean, does he have a switch for those mannerisms?

But let's talk plot. Imagine trying to explain a multi-layered time-travel puzzle over a quick coffee break. Yep, that's how it felt. There were moments where I felt like a detective with a corkboard and red string, trying to piece it all together. Paradoxes? Oh, they were there, dancing around like they owned the place.

Now, despite the mental gymnastics, the cinematography was on point. Every frame felt like a painting, especially those rain scenes (though I could've used a few more seconds of that remake, just saying).

And the music! Wu Bai's "Last Dance" was hauntingly beautiful, though by the end, I was ready to slow dance with a paracetamol. The soundtrack hit all the right notes, literally and emotionally.

Overall, "Someday or One Day: The Movie" is like that wild rollercoaster you hop on without fully knowing where it'll take you. It had its highs (acting chops and visuals) and a few loops that left me scratching my head (time travel, anyone?). Would I recommend it? For sure, especially if you're up for a brain-teasing, emotional rollercoaster. Just don't forget your headache pills along for the ride!
