This was an endearing, funny and heartbreaking romantic coming of age movie about two polar opposites falling in love. The story was formulaic, but the execution was so excellent that it became refreshing and moving despite the cliches. The acting was great from everyone, especially Darren Wang who you instantly fall in love with thanks to his charm and cheeky smile. For a 2+ hour movie, the pacing was absolutely perfect and the story never dragged on. Both Truly Lin's and Tai Yu's character were unique and exciting to watch as they both had heaps of personality and funny moments. The chemistry between the two leads was perfect and they had such a funny and infectious dynamic to them, not just as lovers but as friends too. I didn't expect the movie to turn from a comedy into a more serious and heart wrenching romance between two people who struggled to convey their feelings to each other. What began as a funny relationship between two people who can't get along, became something much more deep and unexpected. I loved the movies strong balance between comedy, romance and school life, although I'm glad they mainly focused on the romantic element. The film did an excellent job at giving a nostalgic portrayal of high school life, and making you want to turn back time to those fun and emotional days. My only problem was the music could be a little cheesy and did ruin a few moments. I also didn't quite understand the very last scene, and wished they could have done something different with the conclusion. Apart from that, I enjoyed this fun, witty yet heartbreaking film a lot. Highly recommend!
