I LOVED this movie. It was so much better than I expected it to be, I don't know why I put off watching this for so long. Everything was PERFECT: the casting, the plot and its execution, the characters and music.

I LOVED all the twists in this movie, I watched the trailer before watching this, so some of the twists were expected. But, the story is so much sadder then it seems. Despite Feng Ren being the supposed villain in this movie, he had the most tragic and heartbreaking story and I got where he was coming from. His backstory as to how he became the villain he was at the present day reminds me of Anakin's story. All he wanted was the Song of Yin Meng, the song he wrote with the love of his life who died ten days after they met.

It was so heartbreaking to see Feng Ren lose the love of his life TWICE, he knew her for such a short time but he loved her so much. I cried both times. And the twists just kept on coming. Not only was the FL the love of his life, but he made up the existence of Yin Meng, his "wife", so that everyone else in the world believes that he was married when in fact he had never married anyone and instead spent most of his life mourning the woman who possessed Hong Luan's body for a short time, the FL.

The plot of this movie was so detailed. The execution was PERFECT, non of the events take place in chronological order: first, because it's timetravel and second, because the plot is first told from the FL's POV and then the ML's POV. I LOVED that we got to see the story from both sides and we got to see ALL the important events. Though it may not have been in chronilogical order, the entire plot made sense. Once you put all the pieces together, it just gets even more heartbreaking.

I loved how the plot also made sense through its timeline of events. All the events in this movie were caused by a timeloop, showing how "destined"/inevitable the tragic love story was.
