Don't watch it if sexual assault triggers you!!!

I feel compelled to write a review when a story hits you hard. Sexual assault is not a light topic to discuss, and yet they tell the story through the eyes of the victim perfectly.

I've been watching a few of Tiffany Hsu movies lately, and by far this is her best performance. Charlize did great too portraying her younger character.
She walks us through the life of a teenage girl Lin Chen Xi who was raped by her teacher. The saddest part of this drama is her family caving in to the pressure of the principal and try to bury the scandal from the public. Growing up in an Asian country up to my teenage life, I could see how the community could see rape as something shameful, her family didn't wanna be pitied or looked down on by everyone.
For Lin Chen Xi carrying this trauma all through her life is one thing, not having the support system through her family is another whole level of suffering.

As you get the scene of the accident, it was confusing when they switched her memory the first time. Was it a dream or did she get back in time? But the whole thing made sense when she came back to reality.

For her to move through life by suppressing her memory and made something of her life was not an easy task and show her strength.
I was glad that she was able to get away from the attempted rape by her coworker and get her revenge with him.

I was a little disappointed at first that the person that raped her when she was a teenager didn't die like in her alternate reality. But to think about it he got what deserved. Living as a vegetable on a wheelchair is a better punishment for him than killing his character. And his wife who helped him bury his crime, actually hates him and wants him dead, and yet have to take care of him the rest of her life. I wouldn't say justice served on a silver platter for Lin Chen Xi, but it's an ok punishment.

I may rewatch it again in the future, but I will FF the assault scene.
