Hou lai de wo men

This film is not only a romance drama; it is jam-packed with many other components. It discussed socioeconomic issues and how tough it is to put one's heart above one's job. The movie made my heart ache because it is so emotionally intense. Because I truly detest sad endings in romance dramas, I wouldn't give it such a high rating. I must admit that this is the most realistic love story drama movie I've seen so far.

I have never felt so emotional watching a movie. One of the most breathtaking piece of work I have ever seen on romance. The very essence of a love that never dies is captured here.

I watched this as I was in the mood to switch off to a sup prime love story with the added bonus of it being in Chinese. I then found myself a few hours engrossed and in tears. Really fantastically written and acted in terms of exploring the ups and downs of relationships; what goes wrong and what is unexplainably unsalvageable. Almost anyone will be able to recognise the excruciating confusion of love that this film portrays, even if this film is outside of your cultural setting. Incredibly charming and moving, and as an added bonus, really beautifully shot and edited.

I suppose many people living in big cities could relate to the movie.

The initial bitterlove was sweet. Despite the financial difficulties, the fact that the two genuinely love and care for each other and that they share the aim of pursuing better future is comforting. But it doesn't last long when the reality hits, especially when the boy is still a boy. He is lost. He forgets what the girl really wants. She doesn't really want a house. She just wants a home.

This movie also tells about parents' perspective as regards their son's relationship. The father part is extremely touching and emotional. That makes this movie stand out from other typical romance movie. A must watch.

The movie is something that we all have experienced before / can relate, where relationship fails because love alone is not enough. Watched this with no expectation on netflix, rate it 10/10 after watching it. Cried a lot too :P This is a must watch for everyone!
