Love story that expands between 10-15 years spand are a trend nowadays. South Korea, Taiwan and Japan made movies about that from a few years ago and now it's mainland China turn.
Love Will Tear Us Apart started from our protagonist's high school years. How they fell in love and made silly things along the way. The story then jumped every few years, with its obstacle along the way paved around their love story.
For those who familiar with South Korean or Japanese POV story telling, this movie would feel a little bit flat. The pace sometimes too quick for us as viewers to understand the inner struggle of protagonist. Everything just went like that without any emphasis. It didn't really fit the story that they really fought for their love.
However, this movie actually could have 8 or even 9 ratings if not for poor character development. How could a person that already worked as a contractor for almost 10 years still being cheated to? And who in their right mind would hit the blizzard on the mountain in the middle of nowhere? My sympathy for the protagonist did drastically reduced because of this. The screen writer should have made a more reasonable protagonist.
Average 7/10.
