Zhu Yi Long is my main attraction to this movie as he never fails to disappoint me with his gold standard acting skills. While i wished he had more screen time in this movie, i nonetheless enjoyed the entire 2 hours plus getting to know the characters of Embrace Again. The cast did an excellent job conveying the emotional journey the people of Wuham went through. Jia Ling and Zhou Dongyu.are admirable actresses. Zhou was remarkable in Better Days and although her role as Xiao Xiao had little screen time too but it adds a significant value to the movie - her optimism and compassion while facing life threatening crisis showed the courage and selflessness in the many everyday heroes who lost their lives helping others.
The ending does leave me with a heavy heart.
