The price of friendship. (c) How much does a true friendship cost? Not the one they like to throw away, but the one that continues to the very end and grows stronger every year. Chinese directors are not the first to show that such friendship can not be exchanged for love, and they do it perfectly - to shoot really exciting stories about friendship: pure and sincere. There, as in life, everything is not easy and simple. There are quarrels, insults, always a sea of tears and experiences, but for some reason such films are perceived with a smile and leave behind only warm feelings. What, and films about friendship they are able to make and moreover excellent.
Before that, none of the actors in other works has not met, so there is nothing to judge yet, but everyone liked the game. Fiona Sith distinguished herself a little more, showing that she copes perfectly with her character, who at first glance seemed petty, selfish and narcissistic. It was a pleasure to watch and watch, so it turned out convincingly. And although the actresses who play two more main characters, for me remained in the shadows, they also coped with the roles perfectly. It's wonderful when the viewer believes in the reality of the story, but that doesn't happen often. The three of them managed to play so convincingly that I also believed.
At first, the plot seemed funny and slightly ridiculous, but soon it turned from a comedy into a life drama that did not cause tears, but pity appeared. The main character of this story showed herself not only a strong and independent woman, she was pathetic, funny and stupid. How it fit in one person is hard to imagine, but she coped. After the story all the time jumped from frank drama to comedy and these changes were very much liked. I could smile or laugh, and then I could barely hold back tears, so sad was the fate of the heroines. It was nice to see that they went through all this with their heads held high and achieved what they wanted, remaining true friends who would not leave each other in a difficult moment.
The romantic line also pleased. If you remove the negligent groom of the main character and the grief-man of her friend, then only she was lucky with real love after so much time. Their first meeting, these views, all the nervousness and unwillingness to let go of past feelings - it was worth watching. And he turned out to be a funny, kind and frankly sweet man. To come to the main character after all her tricks was worth heroic courage. At least, not everyone will dare to do this - to humiliate themselves before someone who does not understand what she needs.
Should we talk about honest conversations? Usually, Asian films on such topics cause uncontrollable laughter and a wide smile, because everything sounds so ridiculous and is shown. It was different here. Yes, there was a laugh and a smile, but not for the reason that it looked somehow wrong or too played, rather the opposite. Their conversations gave only pleasant feelings and light emotions.

It wasn’t as beautiful as I’d like, but the movie is worth watching. He's funny, sincere and dramatic. It will be remembered for a long time.
