I just watched the movie and I have to say it was a pleasant surprise. Many had scuffed the movie because it wasn't a bl, but I think it lacked nothing despite that fact.
I liked how the character of Zhong Yi Xiang was portrayed throughout the movie, he was mysterious, but also an open book for the viewers. Most of the times I knew what he was thinking or what he tried to say just by piecing together his reactions.
Gu Tian Yu was more of a mystery to me despite the story being told by his point of view.
I like how after the incident with Zhong Yi Xiang the colours of the movie change from that sweet and nostalgic orange, to more blueish tones.
The scenery is breathtaking, the scene near the waterfall, all the beaches they went to, the houses, rooms and everywhere they stayed at. It might be because I'm majoring in interior design, but it was fun to see all the little details from the door to Yi Xiang's room to the little trinkets he had collected over the years.
I liked how there is a cycle, how the roles change 180 degrees, just so they can both meet each other again.
Their chemistry was comforting to me. They only had an hour and forty minutes and they won me over!
I wanted to rant about this movie. I truly adored it!
I want to draw so much after seeing it!
