The action takes place in very beautiful 'nooks' of China - Beijing, Shanghai - which allows us to see not only the beauty of Kris and the main actress but the beauty of this Asian country as well. Nobody can deny that their roles are played perfect - you can actually feel all the pain and confusion the characters are meant to express as well as kind of put yourself in their shoes. You start asking yourself the question 'what would I do if he/she were me'.
Personally, I liked the movie although there were some gaps in the plot but that is somehow understandable considering its short duration. I liked it because it shows real-life situations, it shows how unconditional love can be and how some people are willing to leave everything behind just to experience it and others are not. It shows us the undesirable difference between the poor and the rich. But it also makes it visible to us that money is not exactly everything as we are used to thinking mainly about money in the 21st century. On the other hand, the action was way too fastened and it does not give us the chance to think over the plot. It does not let us see the entire beauty of what is being shown on the screen. However, if it had been done in a drama series, it would not have brought that special feeling at the very end.
To sum up, I recommend the movie to everyone who likes 'dumb' romantic comedies, it warms the heart for sure.
