find the Director's cut

If you can find it, the Director's Cut really makes the story make a lot more sense. It adds only 20-30 minutes but frankly I'm not sure why those scenes were cut while the long boring parts of the father in the hospital remained. It clocks in at 3 hours though so it is quite long.

This is one of my all-time favorite films. While it's not perfect it still makes me cry in all of the same places, especially the ending. For me Ying was the most important character and the hero of the film. But I am a sucker for unrequited love stories and characters who give up their loves because it's best for everyone.

sorry to be a curmudgeon...

I get that many of you obviously really like series a lot. I will agree that the photography and locations are excellent. But for me the story and central relationship makes no sense. And frankly I don't see all that much chemistry between the leads - part of that could be the story and writing, but I am just not believing it. Why would Oh-aew have any interest in the guy who treats him so poorly and is such a mess? Especially when cute Bas is right there clearly in love with him. That's the story I would have been interested in watching. The actors seem to have more chemistry too. And ep 4 was so over-the-top melodramatic that it was hard to watch. Maybe something just doesn't come across in the translation. Clearly there are cultural issues that are very far from my own personal experience.
