This movie is the perfect bad example of trying to condense a long story under 2-hour time. It was like watching a beautiful music video with fast transitions, but no room for neither story development nor character development. On top of that, the main actors have zero chemistry. Start by watching the TV series starring Yang Mi and Mark Chao first, which does a much better justice of depicting the eternal love between Bai Qian and Ye Hua. Only watch this movie afterwards as a bonus feature.
