Timeless Romance (2019)

Happen to chance upon this movie and got captivated with the word ‘timeless’ which I’m a fanatic for time traveling & fantasy genres and best of all it was categorized as ‘comedy’. Tried to search for details but isn’t any review in here so decided to share some after watching.

**NOTE: There’s always some spoilers in my review, please stop reading from here onwards if u happen to be someone who don’t like spoilers yea!

Yes it is a comedic way (had some laughs in between the movie, simple slapsticks but good enough to make audience chuckle at bit) of bringing out a good message in the end of the story. All is good ending (yea I’m a sucker for good endings, at least NOT hanging endings or guessing game for viewers).

Romance part, not exactly romantic (oh well, how romantic can comedies be, given this is not Korean movie...Chinese comedy movie rarely can achieve romantic level that gives us mushy and clouds-in-the-air-feel) but enough scenes to give some goosebumps for us to laugh on!

Special credit to these bunch of actors and actresses as this seems like a low budget production to me (u can take notice at how the manager’s office room is decorated with bare minimals and some scenes and their attire does reveal what’s their budget, but yet it seems that they have tried their best...I’ve only checked the main casting after watching, as to my amaze their acting isn’t that bad (something I can accept for a low budget comedy). And apparently the main actress all having at least acted in two productions (some even more) prior to this movie. No wonder their acting isn’t all bad, however given this movie plotline involves changing of multiple roles, their acting seems to be overlapping and for each of them is not easy to stand out among all.

Plotline is simple with some twist at the end, but I find the characters could have better outlines if this is a drama version (it is quite usual for movies with such plotline had to be in a rush to bring out the entire story). Some audience could probably not follow what is happening if they aren’t time travelling/ fantasy movie fanatics like me.

Music nothing memorable, just something audible in between the storyline is presented.

In a nutshell, this movie is worth watching for those who enjoy simple & short romcom with familiar slapstick jokes and silly scenes to squeeze some giggles for us to escape reality for a while. Nothing serious, but there’s a well meaning about life that the director did bring out in the ending.

Enjoy the show everyone! ^v^

A TIMELESS treat for the whole family!

This is one of the best movies I have watched for a long time...

Although I believe that this movie is geared toward 10-20 year olds, it is still a great little; movie; my major problem is that there is no reference on the Internet for any of the cast except a few; and not all movie sites list the ladies, or men, who starred here. With an imagination, this is a great kids movie as well!

However, the person adding this movie only gave you ONE main female lead; there are FIVE females and FIVE males who act this movie

I hate to brag, but I told the group that watched this movie together what the four ladies actually were BEFORE we got to the part where they explained themselves to Su Su (Liu Qian Yu), and I also successfully predicted who she would choose as her boyfriend at the end, both less than halfway through the movie!

The cinematography was excellent, and the support actors did an excellent job, especially the one who was beaten up!

The main actress

What many people don't understand that that EVERY woman is the same as You Menghan, the lead female character here:

Every female is a 'daughter', and if their parents live, they become a daughter when they visit them;

Many women, especially today, is a 'coworker' and can accompany her coworkers, let her hair down and make sure everyone gets home safely;

(Almost) every female is a 'sibling', who becomes a sibling again when interacting with sister(s)/brother(s)

Every female is a 'warrior' - just watch a female have their children threatened, they become Liu Rusi, the warrior in this film;

Every female becomes Chen Zilian, the 'wine bibber in this movie, when fortunate to be in her situation;

Every female, if she chooses, can be a Li Mengying, our 'startling geisha' in this movie, and can entertain people, her family or even her loved one;

and lastly, every woman during her lifetime (especially if she has child(ren), becomes a Susu - giving and wanting to see others with a smile on their faces!

This should be a 'must-see' for anyone who majors in psychology/sociology...

RE-WATCH VALUE: Of course!
