I went to watch with my sister because I did not want to watch it alone.

Rewatch Value 1.0 So, I watched this movie in theaters and I am the one who added a summary on Wiki for it. As someone who looks at it subjectively because I didn't read the book before, as a movie, this is amazing and definitely worth a watch! For those that read the book and then watched the movie, sorry to burst a bubble but movies never live up to their books. I personally was not disappointed at all. In general, I am already putting it on my rewatch list. Very clean and clear story telling, which is always great for a movie. Unpredictable, but luckily, the mood change was not confusing at all. But prepare yourself for some emotional turmoil because "sweet" sixteen is far from being sweet and the whole movie had me going up and down and up and down the entire film. Story was amazing as well, just not my kind of ending hahah. Hangeng's characters is basically probably every girl's dreamy boy next door type and the female actress was stunning as well. I'm so happy because Kris kinda disappointed me a bit in his Never Gone role so I was a bit nervous but it's obvious that dramatic characters suit him amazingly well. Otherwise all I got to say was acting was ON POINT. kinda?) then they'd really like the ending. For those who aren't looking for your stereotypical happy ending (I mean idk, maybe some people can find it somewhat happy. Rewatch Value 10 So I would give it a perfect 10/10 but for me the ending was too upsetting. NOTE: Also please watch the movie first before you decide to dig up the real ending to the original story. "Love is courage, love is joy, love is sacrifice, love is not a sin. Even though he was impulsive, he was heroic on most events, and brought together this message and lesson to the movie: He had gotten himself in trouble many times for Ya Wang. You'll see how much Xia Mu has grown and how he became a stronger person throughout the movie.

Rather, he will progress and develop as a character through action. I just wish Xia Mu would have more dialogues, but I understand he's a stoic and emotionless character from the start so he wouldn't speak much. The cinematography and the amazing music went well with all the scenes. (on unrequited love)Įnding: Hopeful (That's a hint that it ended well.) This was not the brightest moment in Chinese cinema.Near halfway: Heartbreaking. And because of that, then I am forced to rate this movie a less than mediocre four out of ten stars. "Xia You Qiao Mu" had potential to be a memorable movie, but the turn of events to the story at the hands of director Jin-gyu Cho just didn't sit well with me at all. And I especially enjoyed Shu Ya Wang, because she carried the movie quite nicely. The movie does have some good acting performances in it. From thereon the movie just nosedived and became a farce.

So I will just say that I found the movie to be rather enjoyable up to the point where that terrible event happens to Shu Ya Wang. I will not give away any spoilers at all here. Right, well the story was good, up to a certain point. But when something terrible happens to her, Xia Mu steps up and takes revenge, seeking to right the wrong. It is a story that follows a troubled boy named Xia Mu (played by Kris Wu) whom is taken into foster care, where he grows up falling in love with his foster sister Shu Ya Wang (played by Shan Lu). But it turned out to be quite something else this was a drama.

And because of the title, I though this was going to be a romance or a romantic comedy. First of all, I don't understand the English title "Sweet Sixteen", because it makes absolutely no sense in terms of what this movie is about. "Sweet Sixteen" (aka "Xia You Qiao Mu") is a movie that I hadn't heard about, but happened to come across by random luck and got the chance to sit down and watch it.
