Ex-Girlfriend (2017)

Good Watch

To summarise, it is yet another body swap movie but the story is quite different fro others. Even after breaking up with his 7-year long girlfriend, LI Xiaoyao loves her and is bent on getting her back but he finds that she has already moved and spots her with another man. He believes she has been cheating him. He is driving in anger and BOOM!! he crashes and dies. Two angels come and save him but he wakes up as a girl in hospital one month before the breakup. She (new body, old soul of ML) goes to meet and live with the original Li Xiaoyao (original body, original soul just one month back) and tries to save his relationship but only ends up realising his mistakes and how he didn't pay attention to her.

Story: The story is a fantasy one about time-travel and body swap but the story was quite different. The ML does not meet his future girl but himself. It is not a story in which ML succeeds in saving his relationship, instead realises how he has neglected himself and other aspects of his life. It makes people realise how we should sometimes learn to let go.

Direction: The story though seems cliche, director made it easy for us to understand. So it was 9/10

Acting: Acting was Head-on. Run Chen is good in acting and has great visuals. The best emotion he portrayed in the movie was of surprise. Zhao Wan Ting was good as a tomboy (boy in girl's body). Supporting roles were pretty good too.

To conclude, it was a good watch for time-pass.
