My Thoughts:

CONTAINS SPOILERS

I really loved it, it’s definitely up there with Formula 17 on my list of lovely BL films.
The chemistry between Tae and Cheng Kang Tang is amazing!!!
Jay is amazing, I mean….woah…he is so cute in his suit.

This movie has moments of seriousness, humour, passion and romance…I really enjoyed it. I don’t think I could praise it enough!

Something else i liked: how the ‘relationship’ part of the story wasnt 100% about A-Shin and A-Hong  but there’s also Young Long and Daniel’s thing, Young Long’s relationship with his dad, A-Hong and his girlfriend..you know, things like that, which makes the movie less….two dimensional (….am I even making sense?!)

Think of this movie as a Taiwanese Gay version of Miss Congeniality…
This isn’t really a negative point but…the storyline isn’t 100% original, I’m not saying that’s a bad thing! God no! But…it would have been nice if it didn’t have such heavy undertones of Miss Congeniality (again….not a bad thing…!!)

I really recommend it! Especially if you like light-hearted movies! If you prefer something more…heart wrenching and emotionally traumatising, maybe this isn’t for you.

I’m sorry that i couldn’t find out all of the actor’s names

[Side note….Was Yu Fa Yang in Formula 17? did he play Kevin? the guy who Tien met on the internet?! If not, wowaah they look similar!! ^^]

Update: yes it was!

I rate:
9/10

Also extra love for Taiwan for pumping out such attractive men and awesome movies… Me gustaaa

Songs:
The song that A-Shin sings is called : Courage (勇气) by Michael Wong

 

The actual tracks heard in the movie are by a band called ‘1976’
The song Modern Youth is what A-Shin and A-Hong sing at the start…AND end!! 😀
