took me in an emotional roller coaster

This was the first Chinese movie I watched in the theater and also my first-ever review on MyDramaList.

Story: I LOVED IT! As someone who has been struggling with low self-esteem and losing weight all my life, this hit a little too close to home. Her growth in self-confidence and realizing that just because someone is nice to her doesn't mean that they have good intentions was beautiful to watch. It felt like I was along with her on the journey. I felt her happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, and also her helplessness. I was in tears when she was walking to the boxing match and you can see her past self in the reflection.

Acting: I think everyone did a good job. I didn't feel like anyone was doing a half-ass job.

Music: Connected well with the scenes and the background music was phenomenal. Loved the song they used when she was having her training montage.

Overall, loved it and is worth a watch.
