I expected it to be comedic and it indeed made me laugh multiple times throughout the film. The comedy was sometimes subtle yet it made me laugh out loud and replay those scenes. What I didn't expect was the light and emotional touches that was also incorporated all throughout the film. The friendship between Gao Yuan, Zheng Yang, and Xu Hao was beautiful! It was the focus of the film and it did not disappoint. Although I already know where the story leads to with having Gao Yuan sick and with the title "Last Wish", it was still poignant and well executed which had me in tears by the end of the film. The visuals of the movie was also great and pleasing to the eyes. All the casts' acting were amazing but for me, the one who stood out the most was Peng Yu Chang's emotional acting: bringing the character Gao Yuan to life and to be loved by his friends and also by us viewers.

Above average comedy drama film
Overall it was a pretty okay movie, nothing outstanding, in my opinion. I haven't seen the original "The Last Ride" but this was quite similar with KBS drama special, "My Friend is Still Alive" which I think was better story-wise. "The Last Wish" definitely won points for great, non-cringy comedy but the characters failed to grow on me -- which is probably why I didn't cry at the end when I thought I would.|SPOILER AHEAD|
One thing that truly disappointed me though was the superficial scene with Si Ma Gang losing weight and willing to do 'almost' everything for Xu Hao who only liked her back after her transformation.
