Structurally doomed
I could feel it.Right about midway the writer was getting boxed into a tragic ending, then, was forced to make it a good ending. Solution; Tack on an alternative timeline!
Ruined what could have been something truly special. If they wanted to go that way, they should have done so from the beginning.
Odd scenes like; The car breaks down. Next scene they're back to hotel. Next day they're back out in the now working car, which promptly breaks down again? 😂 Huh? This goes beyond a mistake, suggesting general stupidity. If this was an alternative timeline, it was a really stupid one.
Just organize the scene intentions properly; Where are the characters at emotionally? What is believable and will drive the story forward? Get rid of everything else. Of course this only works if you HAVE a story.
And, I don't care if it's "BL". I care if time is taken to get the story right for the cast and crew who put so much effort into it. As it is, the barely first draft mode story failed a great cast, soundtrack and cinema photography trying to dress it up.
In an alternative timeline, I wrote a glowing review, while admitting I understood almost nothing.

Speak your love to the universe, and it will hear you
I had put off watching this film because something about the way it was advertised on Netflix made me realize it wasn't going to be lovey and sweet, and although I was correct, it was a beautiful tale that left me crying. This is a very subtle romance story, touching on the sanctity of life, and destiny. Fate is a strange thing, and this movie explores the possibilities of life trying every way it possible can to keep us happy and alive. Bittersweet.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

This is a particularly intricate and well-acted movie. Its cinematography is exceptional. Sometimes, using muted and pastel tones to reflect the mood of the scenes. The screenplay is also sophisticated, which allowed the actors to become immersed in their roles to the point that the audience could relate and feel what they were experiencing. Since so much of it was subtle, that took real acting challenges to pull off. The first half of the movie is intensely character driven while the second half, unfortunately, becomes an esoteric mess.The story itself is part reality with a heaping scoop of fantasy thrown in that is both mystifying, illogical, and ended with a perplexing outcome. One I respected but also did not like. While I love fantasy and certainly wish for happy outcomes, not all conclusions in life are so. Or should be.

An experience
Its a great movie. Love the cinematography, made me check whether the isle of Whales is a thing in Taiwan.The timeline is abit wonky, and the scriptwriters' reasons as to why certain things happen the way they are weird, but the general gist of the story is good. Sometimes, the one who saved you is also saved by you, in an ouroboros loop of blessings.
I hope that people watched till the end of the story and do not close the screen near to the last part. That's where the happy ending is.

angst seviyorsaniz
daha farkli bir son hayal etmistim. Aralarindaki cekik var ya offf cidden. Kasitli bir opusme bile olmamasina ragmen birbirlerine olan hislerini hissedememek, gorememek mumkun degil gercekten. Aralarindaki arkadasliktan gayette fazlaydi, inkar ediyorsaniz korsunuzdur arkadas. Tian yu'nun amaci intihar etmekken sonradan vazgecip onun yerine yi xiang'in olmesine ne demeli? Kaderlerinde uzun bir birliktelik hicbir sekilde olamiyormus cidden. Ya Tian yu ya da yi xiang olecekti ve her turlu birisi o aciyla yasayacakmis belli ki. Aci verici bir sekilde ironik. Sanırım anca yi xiang'in pesinden tian yu da gitseydi ebedi bir birliktelige kavusabilirlermis ve bu durumu daha az uzucu de yapmiyor.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

confuso em certos momentos mas lindo
Tem algo muito poético em você decidir que não quer mais viver e derrepente conhecer uma pessoa que muda sua perspectiva de vida, e não somente em um âmbito romântico mas ela te traz toda uma percepção nova sobre o que é a vida. Mais poético ainda é você se conectar tanto com uma pessoa que, em todas as linhas temporais existentes vocês acabam se encontrando e nutrindo uma relação.O filme tem uns aspectos confusos que parece levar para muitos lugares e nenhum ao mesmo tempo mas tem uma fotografia e cenografia impecável. fiquei babando o tempo todo nos cenários externos que eram absurdos de lindos.

Sweet
The plot is sweet and all but I gotta admit it was a bit confusing. I wanted more tbh from them,more romance is what I wanted to say. They were just about to start the romance then boom he died. I am ashamed to say this but I was kinda waiting for an R-rated scenes the entire movie. Both the actors were so hot,so I expected that there will be one but alas. I wanted them to have a romantic relationship first. Not like the relationship they had before was not romantic but i wanted more, starting deeply in love in someone's eyes,date scenes,awkward silences. I feel like this would have been better as a series cause there is so much interesting plot to be given here. A movie just doesn't do it justice. But I still liked it. It's cute but I was expecting a little bit more.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Disappointing ending
I enjoyed the movie overall, I liked the story and the relationship between the characters, but I was disappointed with the ending. They could have gone for a happy ending to wrap things up nicely. Instead, they chose the route of he meets someone that looks like him.It left the story feeling incomplete, and I think a more satisfying conclusion would’ve made it much better. Or they could have made a show instead so we could have more development.
But I still give a 7.5 stars as I still enjoyed watching it.

Very confusing
Were do i start , this is not a BL as i was expecting which is sad because both leads are beautiful, the story was so confusing at the end i was wondering what was real and what was not , i had to google to find answers to what i had just watched, so a bit disappointed glad it was just a film and not a whole series, i would say form your own opinion though and give it a watch , just not for me .........Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
