Now that's out of the way,
This movie contains some 'difficult to watch scenes' and explicit, yet realistic portrayals of sex.
''I want to know what women want, what they're thinking. If they could have ANYTHING, what do women really desire?''
When do our desires become perverse, what is perversion?
This movie seeks to explore not only human sexuality, but the disconnection from humanity that so much of today's youth experience.
We don't know how to connect, where to begin.
For some, sexual encounters are the ultimate disconnect we seek, for others it's the single point of connection.
This movie seeks to portray ''meaningless sexual encounters'' in their correct context, it will perhaps help YOU redefine your interpretation of meaningless sex.
Once this movie is finished, take a moment to ponder - what kind of sexual encounter was meaningless to him?
I have my own thoughts on that.
We follow a completely ordinary man, in an extraordinary occupation in which he ultimately finds solace, defeating loneliness by gaining his own version of ''great purpose''.

One day, all love is lost to time
Life and death gets in the way.Ning Yi and Zhiwei love each other like a disease infecting and eating away, hollowing out, there is nothing living left inside.
Finding themselves key players in the perfect storm, balancing the scales with imperfect, sharp intellects, cutting each other with a thousand little cuts along the way.
They like to play, bleed and hurt.
Life and death happen to us, and forks the road into something uncertain.
This awaits us all.
then
So.many.people.die
''I should have just married her then''
yeah
Nobody walks off into the sunset, nobody.
Time changes people,
makes people cruel and twists love into something ugly.
Love is tragic by design
Some people fall in their prime and their love becomes ageless, untainted and legendary.
One for the annals.
Is your life about how you end?
Of course not, it’s the journey.
If you could peek at your final page, would you rather have never lived at all?
How these people love, is beautiful
Chose to watch this drama - because ALL love is one day lost to time, but these two people make you BELIEVE.
That’s what a good story is,
it makes a BELIEVER out of you.

Full of anger towards her boss, she confidently glides up behind him.
Full of anger towards her boss, she confidently glides up behind him.Deciding that taking a 'swing' at him, is the best possible outcome, to an otherwise ridiculously disappointing day.
Come on! If this isn't God's will, or at least a TREMENDOUS opportunity presented to her, then what is?
No, Really?
Chances of her getting done for this must be small, after all, this is a seedy little alley way, behind some bar.
Taking this bastard down with her, would not only be a pleasure, but in this moment, worth it.
He unceremoniously goes down like a sack of potatoes, and much like any sack of potatoes, he doesn't do much else but lay there....seriously, he's NOT moving.... OH FUC-
This is a very warm story that's all heart, murder, various forms of anxiety, but most of all it's a story about KIDNAPPING.
And of course, the neighbour who presents very competitive pricing, when it comes to babysitting your OPPA.

I often think about the end
10/10 Ending.10/10 For writing the ending that way.
10/10 For the ML staying awkward until the last frame
I've seen hundreds of dramas, but this is the random little nobody, 'unknown' drama I keep thinking about when I'm alone and that funny mood takes over.
And trust me, nobody either 1. watched it or 2. finished it.
There are reasons for that, it was subbed horrifically initially, this was long before auto translate was half-OK as it is now in 2024. Another reason is because it came out during a stellar year for Chinese drama, so this flew under everybody's radar.
Had it been released today, it would be one of those 10min dramas, nobody ever does lower budget, 30-40min dramas anymore.
The dark and the aesthetics in this feel right, the acting seems likely, the characters seem as you'd expect people of their station to be.
He's impossibly awkward and lacks all social adequacy which is great.
She's clever, but also sheltered and a little dim, which is great and makes the story more plausible.
Let's ponder this young woman being real.
This was her serious attempt at living a life within a very short time frame, this is her last stumbling *hurrah* before real life sweeps her away in to the historical annuals for a far away future as another nations vessel.
She latches on to this man at this impossible time in her life, and there is so much great chemistry in the fact that there is barely any chemistry - It's so REALISTIC
Their love begins as they say goodbye.
We don't know if she died the very next year in childbirth.
We will never know if she lives to be a 90 year old matriarch, grandmother of 20.
Maybe when she closed her eyes for the final time, he was the one who greeted her.
See, this drama has me thinking at night... when that funny mood takes over.
Women's fates, my own fate.
Where does it all lead.
