Roy Chiu won the Best leading actor award at the 23rd Taipei Film awards. His appearance changes when he tries to impress her. After coming out of jail, he totally looked a different person!
Hard to point out, but the Korean influence is evident. The filling of the chart showing number of dates. The rainbow pencil borrowed from his niece . His niece dreaming of being a pop star.
The heroine with her hair & dress appears young & as she ties her hair later , her age is made evident.
I never thought they will come up with terminal illness. I wasn’t prepared & thought it to be light. But turned to be a tear jerker.
