Endless Love (2010)

I watched half, gave up, then had it on hold for a really long time. Why you ask? Probably due to all the angst…

Story: In the first half, you get to see the relationship develop between the two leads. It’s very funny, sweet, and definitely romantic. Then about half way the tone changes, and there’s a time jump of 3 years. After that the rest of the drama is just filled with angst and conflict due to the female lead’s dad that building up to a lovely ending.

Acting/Cast: First time seeing the two leads. Wilber Pan is a good actor but there were plenty of times he overacted in his “dramatic” scenes. It became distracting because instead of feeling for him I just thought how he could have made the scene more real if he had a more subtle crying style. As for the lead actress, she was amazing! I was stunned how she could play this bratty heiress (I hated her character in the beginning) and later on change dramatically to the point where Im rooting for her and like her character more than the male lead. Her and Wilber had a really really good chemistry. I just wanted to mention the second lead actress did a horrible acting job and even though her character could come off as likable, the way the actress portrayed her was just awful. I really liked the second lead actor and his character. I also ended up liking the rest of the supporting characters.

Music: It was okay. Nothing that made me take notice.

Rewatch: I would watch this again because it had good pacing and a great ending.

Final Thoughts: If you like angsty romance dramas with amazing chemistry between the leads, then I would recommend Endless Love.
