Really beautifully done movie! It really showed the harmful consequences of bullying and the mindset of those bullies who think that what they did was "just a joke" or looking back as adults, they just "forgot" what happened. The scene where Yi Yao yells at her classmates from the seaside, telling them she knows her murderers, was left such an impact.

Even though some people did bring up how some scenes seemed a bit rushed, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The cast did a superb job at bringing their characters to life. Their facial expressions were on point- I love the actor who played Gu Sen Xi! That smile, that attitude, everything! I especially love how at the end, he changes how he defines his name to the "Xi" is from the sun rising from the West. LOVED IT. The actress, Ren Min, who played Yi Yao was just as great! She brought me to tears with her scenes. I can't believe all these actors are rookies??

Besides that, I can't forget to mention how AMAZE-ing the OST is. They really brought the sadness, all the emotion, in certain heavy scenes to life, making them even sadder. This one lyric from one OST really touched me. "Youth is like an IV drop, slowly dripping away."
