The Unseen Sister

Zhao Liying is like a chameleon, she just relates with this character, Qiao Yan, so well. I'm in love with her acting skills. She's such a legendary actress. Every time she comes on screen, I can feel her powerful presence.

I also like Qiao Yan who is played by Liying. She won't disguise herself, as well as, her ambition as a woman. She will fight for her rights rather than suffering. Yes, Qiao Yan is not that perfect woman. She is sensitive, weak, suspicious, and cool. She is a difficult person to when she deals with outsiders. She's not perfect, but she doesn't need to be. She just needs to be herself. From what Qiao Yan does, you can feel the power that belongs to women exclusively. It is the power to defy unfairness.

The storyline is a bit flat and depressing.

Qiao Yan and her sister are not defined by a generalized group of characteristics. They both display prominent aspects of their personalities, whether they are considered positive strengths or negative weaknesses. Even though Qiao Yan is in the glamorous entertainment industry, she is constantly weighed down by fear and pressure. Her sister, who is pregnant faces a lot of difficulties in life, but she has a strong desire to survive. They try to survive in a difficult living environment and they try to break free from the chains of fate.

Liying and Zhilei's acting are amazing. The story is a little dry, but it's okay to watch.

Mysterious story line makes me feel excited. Plus 10 points for the scripts! Excellent!

The light and shadow suit well every scene. Plus 10 points for the director and cinematographer! Great job!

The acting skills of the 2 main leads are also excellent.

Zhao Liying is the spotlight here. Look, how she transformed amazingly. I'm very surprised of her acting skills. She's a super star now. Plus 10 points for Zhao Liying! Great job!

The ending is a surprise to me.

This is the movie for the real fans of artful movies. Highly recommend to watch this.

I'm very disappointed of the anti-fans here to downgrade this movie. I believe good prevails evil!

The film is not visually storytelling, and there is no pleasure in the scenes while watching. It actively explores deep, complex ideas about human existence, morality, reality, and the nature of knowledge.

The relationship between the two sisters in the film is also very subtle. Since they share one legal identity, they are old enemies and relatives. Even though the elder sister protected her husband, when she saw him taking her sister's things, she told him not to touch my sister's things very firmly. People pursued the younger one to get rid of the elder sister, but the younger one never thought of killing her sister. This may be a unique characteristic of many people. Their love is not unconditional and their hatred is not absolute.

Both Yiling and Zhilei's acting was top-notch. They brought the characters to life and nailed their roles. I'm really looking forward to more movies with them in the lead.

I watched this film over the weekend. And I knew the film was made to be a serious thoughtful work, rather than for commercial profit. It may aim at a limited audience. While watching, I was struck by Liying Zhao's acting skills. I have watched some of Liying's dramas before. She was cute in this drama. I think she made a significant shift from TV to Movies. Her appearance looked so charming on the screen. Her act was impeccable. I was truly mind-blowing in her acting performance. I felt realistic. She brought the character to life. Her performance was powerful and convincing.

I'm expecting to see her in more films, and I really hope that she will play more characters/roles in them.
