An under-rated movie for all lovers to watch together!
I agree with Cambear about this being a great movie!
I saw this online several years ago but couldn't remember its name when I joined MDL; a movie recap by an Asian girl helped me find the movie's name again. Thank you, miss!
I do love movies like Wedding Dress (2010), More Than Blue ( 2009), Bw With Me (2010), The Gangster's Daughter (2017), or the worst of all, Come To Me Like A Star (2013)...but they tell the story of what usually happens in situation between lovers...especially if selfishness is present on one or both of them.
Occasionally, we want a happy endiing, such as Timeless Romance (2019), Jenny & Juno (2005) or Marbling (2004)! Now we can add Fall In Love Like A Star (2015) to the list of times when romance works out the way it should!
Su Xing Yu (Li Yi Feng) and Tian Xin (Yang Mi) are both working for the same band and one loses their job defending the other against a chauvinist band member, messing with the girl..
They split and end up in a long-distance relationship over the phone. The KEY to this movie, and to most good relationships, is S-A-C-R-I-F-I-C-E of one part of a couple to help the other out.
This sets off the love/hate/love hate see-saw that this movie projects; the key is that BOTH sacrifice to make the other look good or to protect the other one somehow throughout the movie.
In " A lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn (2003)" the eldlerly farmer, jolted out of his dementia by his returning daughter, sells his farm so that his daughter-in-law will seek out another man with which to be the rest of her life. Before the return of his daughter and sanity, the elderly man and his dead son's wife comfort each other daily trying to survive the rural Chinese farm on which they both reside.
In "Sex is Zero (2002) the male lead sacrifices his time helping the woman he loves, who started out loving someone else, go through the pain of an abortion and saves her life later as she starts bleeding profusely from overexerting herself after that abortion. She realizes that he was the better choice for a mate.
In Timeless Romance (2019), a girl realizes the different needs of her personas and makes a choice between different boyfriends to suit her different personas; and many loved her choice in that movie!
I mighit add that Mei Jie (played by veteran actress Chen Shu) was the perfect jilted former agent of Su Xing Yu, and did a superb job of being the villianess in this movie; the other support cast members worked very well together helping make the main couple look good and supporting the storyline - kudos to them all!
I love that fact that this movie portrayed how 'sacrifice' in a relationship sometimes is necessary and how the 'self' must die in order for most relationships to survive and work. Tian Xin's 'sacrifice' or what is known by good parents as "tough love" sometimes is needed for the other partner to survive, thrive and obtain their dreams in life...a lesson many parents know how to use and many selfish partners today should learn...
Quit trying over-analyze this movie and just enjoy a good movie with a happy ending...for BOTH main stars!
The cinematography was excellent and the music (which I paid more attention this time) was superb. I didn't get the joke about the cosplay costunes at the end until i found out that they both starred in a costumed historical series together; it made the ending scenes much funnier this time around!
My main criticism is that I would have shot some scenes from the balloon and pacaed them strategically within the movie.
I also loved the fast-paced action in the movie, which was necessary to tell the story of the movie that happened over several years apart for the couple.
RE-WATCH VALUE: Yes, when couples want to see how sacrifice saves marriages and relationships!
