A pack of emotion, plot twist and superb acting
The story started with Liang Wen Chao (Chang Chen), a prosecutor, was near his final stage of cancer, wanted to do everything he could to support his wife and in born baby. Hence, he decided to take on the high profile murder case of Wang Shicong, a CEO of billionaire biotech corporation.
The Soul is a sci-fi thriller with murder mysteries, and many plot twists. It is heavily dark, blood and violent but at the same time, there are also many tear-jerker emotional scenes.
Despite some overuse and repeat of spiritual belief, I am sold by Chang Chen and Janine Chang’s performance. Both portray mixture of strong emotions, but at the same time resolute, solid and intelligent. Their love is unconditional and that they would do everything for their partner.
Knowing Chang Chen has to lose almost 10kg( 20lbs) to make his cancer patient’s character believable, I’m sold. His acting is stunning. His body movement portraying his character half paralyzed after undergoing brain surgery is impeccable and flawless.
The final scene is smart, but it’s predictable to me: Love will always remain.
