Lost Love (2016)

With a title like this, you can imagine how it ends. And even the opening scene tells you how it's going to end... but please read on...

STORY: After relocating to Beijing, a young man (Yu Hao) searches for a job and ends up being a model, then he and the artist (Wang Feng) fall in love. I really liked that this is a nice drama involving two adult men and there were a lot of romantic moments. I really got the sense of their deep love for each other without the stereotypical seme/uke nonsense. They showed love and respect to one another. That made it worth watching this for me. Of course, no story could be all sunshine and rainbows. A bigoted family member causes strife for a while. The ending is sad but ambiguous. I suppose it's up to interpretation.

ACTING/CAST: The chemistry between the couple was amazing. As I said before, it looked like they loved each other deeply. They were on the same level. Also, the actor playing Yu Hao is hot.

MUSIC: Nothing memorable and the Chinese lyrics weren't translated.

REWATCH VALUE: I might watch it again but with a friend this time.

OVERALL: I knew by the title it wouldn't end well, but the romance made it worthwhile.
