I know it is already late to make a review on this movie but whatever, I'll just post it anyway.
*************************************
Do you ever feel tired of romance movies with almost same
story line available in the market? Me too, until recently, a friend of mine
suggested a movie which I found very fresh. In my opinion, this movie deserves
to be watched by every walk of life who has been longing to breathe a new air
of romance movie.
Our Times, a Taiwan movie, has truly, truly touched my heart
and extraordinarily funny. The main character, named Lin Truly (played by Vivian
Sung), is a below average high school girl, likes a boy, Ouyang Extraordinary,
who is totally an opposite of her. He’s the top student, handsome and of
course, very famous. Thanks to a chain letter, Lin Truly gains a new ‘friend’,
named Hsu Taiyu (acted by Ta Lu Wang). However, almost like Choi Young Do in one of the most
famous Korean dramas The Heirs, Hsu Taiyu is a bully. He is
actually the head of a gangster group in the school.
Along the movie, Lin gets to know Hsu Taiyu and even starts
to slowly fall for him as she sees another side of him. Sadly, Lin finds out
that Hsu Taiyu likes Tao Minmin, a sort-of female version of Ouyang. She’s
pretty, smart and everyone’s favourite. However, a conflict arises when Ouyang
starts to like Lin Truly. At a point, Lin realized that she must let her love
be known. But the question is, will she choose Ouyang whom she has crush since
forever or will she fight for Hsu Taiyu even though she knows he likes someone
else?
Unlike Indonesia’s Remember When love triangle drama, it
manages to remind us back our high school times. When we fought for what we
believe, even though our adults’ views were completely different. When we had
good laughs with our bestfriends, even though our minds felt like exploding.
They all blended in.
Other than that, I also like the script in the movie. The
one I remember the most is when Lin Truly tells Hsu Taiyu that “If a girl says
that she is fine, she is not”. I hate it how the scriptwriters managed to
produce accurate and relatable lines. But I guess that what makes the movie
very close to my heart.
With well-written script, backed with very touching songs
and a great line of actors, this movie should be everyone’s favourite. Congratulations
to the whole production team. I am amazed.
