      Zhuang Zhiqi emotionally prepared herself to cry by listening to a song ('Walking In The Cold Wind' by Liu Sihan) on her mobile phone and reciting her own emotional moments from her personal diary that she carried with her during the shoot.

    I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys the romance genre
    Young love is beautiful, but it can also be unstable.

    The Story of 90 Coins explored the lives of Chen Wen and Wang Yu Yang, the man who wanted to marry her. At the beginning of this short film, Wang convinced Chen to continue dating him for ninety more days after hearing how hesitant she was to get engaged to him. He agreed to give her one coin every day. At the end of the trial period, they'd either use those coins to pay for a marriage license or buy drinks together and then part ways forever.

    Their relationship was trimmed down to the bare essentials of what we needed to know which was a great choice for this film. It was interesting to see these highlights and fill in the gaps with my own theories about what might have happened between scenes.

    The audience did see these characters going on creative dates, cuddling, and doing other ordinary but quite sweet things together. I loved seeing them interact. Even though we knew almost nothing about their backstories, they both seemed to be gentle, wholesome people who were well-suited for each other.

    There wasn't a lot of time to go into why Chen was unsure about his proposal because the run time for everything was less than ten minutes. This was one of the few things I would have changed about it. Wang was handsome, kind, and empathetic. Honestly, he seemed like the perfect boyfriend to me, so I struggled to come up with any rational reasons why she'd turn him down other than the fact that they both seemed to be pretty young.

    With that being said, I loved the romance. These characters really sold me on the idea that they were a good match for each other, and I couldn't help but to root for them even when life circumstances seemed to be tearing them apart.

    Do be sure to pay close attention to the English subtitles for this film if you don't speak Chinese. There were a couple of important plot points that happened so quickly I would have missed them if I'd glanced away from the screen.

    I'm glad I watched The Story of 90 Coins, and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys the romance genre.
