Can definitely be watched multiple times, preferably on a big screen

This was so good. China should be very proud of this movie. The cast, direction, editing, music, cinematography was on point. The movie had great pace from the very beginning. I wish I had watched it on the big screen, what great visuals it had.
I could totally see how well they used their budget.

I love that Yibo is making great choices for his projects. He could have easily kept on doing the same kind of roles in dramas and earn a good living but he chose to take on challenges and work with good actors and directors to hone his craft. It's no secret that I watched this movie coz of him and he did not let me down.
If Yibo was a Hollywood actor, all our media would be telling us how a young actor is so talented and has done such a variety of work...There's no need to write how good Hu Jun is, he is a veteran. But, I've never seen Yu Shi before, he was good.

Lei Yu is scared of dogs. Those who know will know :P
Zhang making Lei eject but choosing to stay back is not fictional. There have been many pilots who made sure their plane wouldn't crash on a residential area, they sacrificed their life to protect innocent civilians. I knew he would not make it the moment they showed his family but damn it hurt. The first time Lei ejected was so funny but this one was heartbreaking.
Lei's mother told us how risky this career is by just 1 dialog, you can't fix the plane while it's in the clouds.

One can't pretend that there's no propaganda in the movie. In real world, China intrudes into the air spaces of another country while the movie tells us how they get worried when someone else does the same. Movies from other countries do propaganda as well. So let's not pretend a Chinese movie is doing something new. We ignore or pretend when movies of our countries do it so give leeway to another as well.
Everyone knows what China has done in Sri Lanka, Pakistan and other smaller countries. I'd like to see someone brave enough to make a movie or drama in China that shows the ugly truth. But we know it's not possible in a country that decides what its adult population should watch.

The movie is about test pilots, what they do, their lifestyle and the massive risks they take. The movie successfully shows it to the viewer. If such a story doesn't interest you then don't go complaining about it. The movie delivers what it promised.
Comedy was at the right time and in the right amount. The CGI was incredible. I didn't care about romance coz I was engrossed in the story of test pilots, thankfully the movie didn't make romance as the core.
There aren't many women test pilots in the real world so I was hoping the movie would have gone a different route. It would have been interesting to watch them make changes to the planes to suit women. Maybe another movie which shows the struggles women test pilots face.
I'll definitely watch the movie again. It was totally worth the wait.

Could have been much better, but definitely a one time watch

Watch the movie if you like street dance. Otherwise you'll sit here and complain that the movie wasn't good or that it was boring.

I did not like the camerawork and editing, during the dance sequences. Too much closeup when dancers performed, jerky movements. The editor could have done with less cuts because it takes away from the fun of watching dance. The same camera team and editor did a fine job for the rest of the movie!

Yibo's character was a darling. A boy who does multiple jobs while keeping his dreams alive. Yibo has gone through the pain, has trained for years, keeps learning even till date. He was able to bring the character to life. His expression after Chen's successful head spin in front of the crowd was so well captured!!!
SDC viewers know that it's Yibo's habit of going to the pro dancers and learning their movies during break time. The movie used this aspect so well in the end. I spotted one movement that he learnt in last year's SDC.

Chen's family is his support system. Both the actors who played his mom and uncle were well cast.
I had never seen Huang act before, he was convincing.
It was so nice to see some of the SDC dancers.
Yang Di's cameo shocked me, I didn't even know he was in the movie. Jiang's name in the movie is erlang hahahaha

The humor was in the right amount and in the right places. Many directors think the audience will get bored by the journey of a character and place a silly sidekick. I'm glad this movie had no such thing. It was good to show that not all dancers are able to continue, some give up coz of either an injury or financial troubles or just coz they aren't talented enough.

I loved how the last part of the movie was only about dance. Only the camera movement and cuts ruined my experience. I wish it was stable and kept a distance from the dancers' faces to let me enjoy the hard work of the team.

Where was the actual boxing?

The story isn't something we haven't come across before. The acting wasn't bad at all. As usual a dark sinned girl was playing a maid. Nothing to write about the music. This is another lakorn I'll never watch again, it'll be a waste of time.

If you think a guy cheating on his gf is funny and normal and you can overlook this glaring fault in his character then you'll surely love this lakorn. If you can accept a MIL drugging her DIL, accusing her of sleeping with her other son, then later escaping any concrete punishment by claiming that a young girl who was desperate for the ML brainwashed her, you'll love this lakorn. I swear it would have been really funny if there was no cheating angle. Are lakron writers not allowed to write such stories?

Sunmi is the daughter-in-law who is not Thai so her MIL keeps insulting her, claims she isn't fit to be a mother. Yet the dutiful son doesn't care. Is it supposed to be funny where a wife is mocked everyday, her husband isn't man enough to tell his mum to shut up and lets his wife be abused in front of their child. I'm not used to this type of 'humor'.

ML who is the second son, has an American girlfriend but since his mum hates women who are non-thai he too isn't man enough to talk it out, and hires the FL to pretend to be his wife. Then cheats on his innocent gf who is abroad by having feelings for the FL. Even the FL doesn't realize that such a guy will cheat her as well in future. The naïve gf finds out about this act but accepts it trusting her boyfriend, our heroic ML.

As usual, MIL + servant do very hurtful things but get away easy. After all you can't blame the ML's mom and have her beg for forgiveness. Just in 1 episode she suddenly becomes a saint and stops hating everyone. The saintly FL forgives it all, we can't have a FL with self respect in such dramas. As per our dear FL, the MIL did evil things bcoz she loves her sons a lot.

The scene where the ML brings his American gf home everyone's looking at her as if she's some nasty villain. Poor girl thought the FL was only pretending to be the wife and had no idea that her bf was busy having an affair. When she confronts the ML he confesses that he cheated on her and loves the FL. And is shameless enough to ask the gf if they can be friends now!! Thankfully she doesn't cling to a cheating loser and leaves him. In future I can totally see her hating all thai men just like how the MIL used to hate non-thai women. ML is truly his mother's son, says thank you and sorry to his gf and rushes to find the FL who takes no time in accepting him.

The way they brushed off how a girl learnt Thai for her boyfriend, trusted him so much but got deceived in the end was interesting to say the least. After all it's comedy and cheating is so much fun.

I had more laughs in the last 10 minutes or so of the last episode where they showed bloopers.

One time watch for Davika, if you are a fan

Davika is quite a good actress and beautiful too. She looks her part and as usual the costume department has done a great job. Even the evil women are well decked up.
It's the men who are so weak that it seems this aspect will never change in lakorn world.

The ML's words and actions show that he likes the FL but he doesn't hesitate to hug another woman and  caress her. He is a mama's boy who gets engaged to said woman. Thankfully his mom didn't order him to sleep with his fiancée otherwise he would have done that as well.
The FL has learnt nothing from what her mother went through so eventually she gets on with this loser. How romantic it is when an engaged ML takes the FL to his secret home, locks her up and  she has no qualms being in his arms and being kissed by him.

FL's bestie keeps telling the FL that the girl should simply ignore and forget how her mom was abused and thrown away. The episode where the FL claims her right over the company should have been the highlight where the evildoers realize their crime but this is the drama that tells us to tolerate abuse and forgive criminals. Not only the ML but the FL's own mother doesn't believe in punishing the wicked. The evil sister rightfully mocked the FL that her own mother was not on her side.

FL's mom is the kind of woman who'll say, you didn't walk all over me properly please do it again. She wanted to pimp her daughter to the highest bidder in the name of country, her step father and step brother were far better.
Other people have mentioned and I agree that the leads didn't have chemistry. The actor playing the FL's brother was so much better in terms of chemistry, and acting.

ML keeps both his options open by being with both sisters. I can see what he'll do in future as well. FL being a princess will have far better options but she has her 'happy' ending with a man who had no hesitation being with her step sister. The ML acts as if he was being forced to be close to another woman. His parents have raised him well.

The ending is a bit unclear to me. Did the ML accept the woman of a higher status coz they kept saying how their status was different and how he wishes she was secretary. But if the ML was a price and the FL was a commoner, the lakorn would have shown us her 'struggles', she would be taught how to eat, sit, talk to be worthy of the man.

I don't think I've ever come across any lakorn that is worth watching again. This falls in the same category.

Had the potential

The writer didn't have much imagination. It's a story where the leads believe in not learning lessons. Seems to be aimed at children who don't have the mental capacity to understand if a certain scene is funny or not. That's why weird sound effects have been inserted to tell us when a silly funny scene is shown.

Story - A single father whose mother-in-law wants the custody of his kids coz she thinks she'll do a much better job, him claiming he doesn't want a wife and yet manipulating his kids to accept Chat but also flirting with the FL.
FL's dad forcing her to be with the captain even when she says no but she is interested in the ML and yet flirts and uses the captain.
By the end the evil girl gets away with everything without any punishment and the leads have a happy ending.

Somethings that stood out - The ML gets drugged by Chat so that he can be framed for sleeping with another woman but he forgives her so that she can have another go at it and she successfully does so.
ML leaves his child unattended in a public place to attend a phone call who then gets kidnapped.
FL, who is a teacher, does the same with her student who too gets in trouble. Teacher of the year ends up getting suspended and rightly so.
FL leaves the kids of the ML unattended to attend a call, the boy runs on the street for some reason and gets hit by a car.

FL forgets all about her career and dreams while trying to set up ML's life but when things go south he runs away leaving his kids with his MIL, and later is with Chat taking her help.
And the kids get kidnapped AGAIN.
ML comes back after settling his debts but now the FL doesn't want him. Not because she has self respect but coz her dad doesn't like the guy!
Even the writer had no idea how to justify the ML's actions so in the end the guy takes a bullet for the FL and all is well.

Nothing special to write about the acting. There's no chemistry between the leads, the kids are made to act like adults who are trying to matchmake two people.

Watch if you like any of the actors otherwise there are far better dramas out there.
