Lost in Dramaland
“The love in their point of view is based on each other’s happiness.”
Completed: 9/23/2022
Subjective Rating: 8.75 rounding up to 9.0
Objective Rating: 8.0-8.5
Coming into this, I knew this is going to be a tearjerker. I chickened out and chose to watch the movie version, instead of the Korean, Taiwanese or Filipino drama series. I can endure 1.5 hrs, but over 10 hrs would be too much heartbreak for me. Despite somewhat knowing what’s going to happen to the male lead, I decided to watch this (when I am in the mood for it). I am glad tonight is the night. I cried like a baby in the last 20 minutes of this movie.
Surprisingly, this is my first time watching Jasper Liu. He was excellent as K, especially in all the emotional scenes. Took me a little bit to warm up to Cream’s personality but the two of them have great chemistry together. Both orphaned when they were 16 years old, they became each other’s family. Their relationship is so much more than friends or lovers. It’s no wonder they would do everything in their power to make each other happy. Do I agree with their methods? No I don’t, but I can see where they’re coming from. However, bringing an innocent person into their noble idiocy doesn’t seem to be fair.
There’s too much annoying Bonnie in this movie, but maybe she’s part of the Taiwanese comedy charms. I do like cool and sassy Ms Photographer, Cindy. I cried with her during the breakup scene. On the other hand, Mr. Dentist is lacking compared to the other three leads.
I am giving this a high rating because it touched me. The title song “有一種悲傷” (A kind of Sadness) sung by A-Lin and the male version sung by Jasper Liu are both perfect for this movie. This is the second Taiwanese movie that made me cry so much after “Man in Love”. If you enjoy this type of melodrama about an illness, I strongly recommend this movie to you.
Leaving you with a few quotes that perfectly describe the movie:
“If I have a next life, I want to be a ring, a pair of glasses, a bed and a notebook, so that I can always accompany you.”
“The love in their point of view is based on each other’s happiness.”
“If love can be explained, no one in the world will suffer from it.”
