The first shocking point of watching this movie is that the male protagonist (Richard)'s transmigration came so easily. Lying in bed and self-hypnosis is done. Different from other time-travel-themed film and television works, which focus on depicting the conditions and process of time-travel, weakening this also allows the audience's attention to focus on the feelings of the male and female protagonists, which I like very much.
Regarding the feelings of the male and female protagonists, there are some strange places, but there are also moving places. Strange thing - the feelings come for no reason, probably because of the length of the movie, the lack of a step-by-step process. Why did the heroine immediately determine that Richard was this person because someone told him that such a person would appear? In my opinion, the male protagonist also had the idea of looking for such a woman because the old female protagonist appeared in his life. The so-called deep-rooted love, in my opinion, begins with curiosity and falls into beauty. It's really hard to empathize. It is touching that the female lead abandons her career for the male lead. She really loves this man, but she is also a little irresponsible. To sum up, why does the heroine love this man? Incomprehensible, incomprehensible.
In addition to the hero and heroine, there is also a man in the film, the heroine's agent (Robinson). He should be a character similar to his father. This character also strikes me as amazing. When I watched it, because he said that he knew that the heroine would become famous in the future and would encounter a "love calamity" in the future, I once thought that he came here from the future just like the heroine. But until the end, there was no further explanation of the person's identity. It feels like a hole.
The overall feeling after watching this movie is that the plot is still lacking, not very complete, and there are too many blanks. The feelings of the male and female protagonists cannot be empathized with, and the mysterious supporting roles. In addition, I watched the movie to Li Jian's cover of "Wait Away", and the soundtrack was great. The picture is still good.
