My wife and I really enjoyed the messianic storyline from an Asia perspective. Young, pure-hearted man and woman have to fight off the evil aunts, uncles, and brothers to save the nation - ultimately to be crowned as man and wife (Adam and Eve restored). Lovely costumes, respectful dating, lots of knowledge about the Asian value system, etc. As such it has parallels with Downton Abbey - where evil and goodness were found in both rich and poor, and men and women.

The filmmaking itself is more on the cute side than dramatic, but this leads to some very touching scenes where a touch of the hand brings out strong emotions of connection -. Far more romantic than the Western 'jump in the bed' dramas.

Takes some time, but, in the end, one is left with a desire to treat people in your life with more respect. Uplifting.
