Movie Reviews
Nice, average innocent Asian high-school romance
Same old Chinese youth love story
While these movies are always "sunny" (a Chinese term), bright and delightful, at the same time they are so chaste and cliche as to seem like the CCP got a hold of them. The romantic couple never even HUGS for seven years!
In short, it's a movie that's safe to watch with your Chinese grandmother in the room-though she would probably roll her eyes because even she gave your grandfather a kiss within the first month of dating.
A more worthwhile movie in this genre, ironically, is the remake of More Than Blue (2018). It carries the theme of "I love you, but I will never ever tell you" to hilarious extreme, yet it's such a tear jerker that you can't laugh at how ridiculous it is. A fun time.
