Zui hao de wo men

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.

This movie is almost entirely a waste of time. It does have one redeeming quality though, for foreign audiences- gives us a lens into then culture kids grow up in, what pressures they face, and what they aspire to be and seem to care about, in China today. Being a nerd is cool. Winning physics competitions there is the equivalent of being a high school football star in the USA. Theirs is an effeminate, wholesome, romantic world. Diametrically opposed to ours (in the West) where crude obscenities have become our new normal. Yet it is also a distinctly self-centered and materialistic world, similar to ours in the West. Interesting.

I watched this show because I think Haha He is very good actress, but the show was everywhere. I felt the director removed scenes to keep it under 30 minutes an episode and really hurt the show in the end. Also they had to inject two other couples into the show and became a cluster show. The emotions from the characters felt like they didn't believe what they doing on this show. Since they created so many side stories it was the downfall of the main characters who never really were able to develop an emotional to the audience. The Chinese romances are pumped out like water now and so many to choose from. I have only run into a couple that I would call excellent shows with good character development. The Taiwanese and Korean shows are much better 95% of the time.

The movie does what it generally sets out to.

Most of the movies of this type tend to rotate around a basic story. The end is a reveal that tells you why what you thought was wrong. In some cases the characters come together, in others they don't. Depends on the story. I quite enjoyed it.

============================================================= -Having seen many mystery movies/detective movies that run on the same premise. Pretend like the protagonist is intelligent by not showing you the clues they find until the end. -Similar to many action movies. Fighting for the sake of it with magic bullets in most cases. If you enjoy those kinds of movies, you might like this one or you might not.

Some of the other comments seem quite odd. They seem to try and understand the movie from an external aspect without getting into the culture/genre. Most of the focus for top students trying to get into a good university would be around their schooling... if you were making a movie about a war, you would have a large percent of the movie focused on the war.

If you want graphic sexual movies, there are plenty of those. If you want random sexual aspects that needn't be depicted directly, then you look for other kinds of movies. This isn't intended to be obscene. It is intended to entertain, encourage people to take action in their lives if the situation fits etc. or just tell a story.

-The movie is supposed to show how gaps can exist in knowledge and expectation. To show how longing can be heartbreaking for some people while others have reasons for choosing that same longing. -Finally, while it is beneficial to have knowledge about the culture before watching the movie, it is still a standalone movie, and needn't be used to infer too much.

Touching story about young love acting is excellent from all the actors. Really enjoyed this movie .
