Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

phoenix 2 Having watched many school slice of life movies, I've got to say that this one follows the same logic as the others. It did remind me of Reply 1997 as well. Also, I loved the sweet innocent romance, as the love story, even though it was full of cliche, it was enjoyable and warm. The performances helped with it as well. The pace was nice, not too fast but not to slow to be tiring and boring. However, the ending was a bit of a disappointment for me. As I've said, after watching many school themed movies, I should have expected this to happen. Few of them had a satisfying ending with a closure or at least a conclusion to the romance. Even though the ending was better than others, and gave some nice touch to the story, it still didn't feel right. Other than that, it was an enjoyable movie.

Yang Jinny Just before the beginning of this review.I'd like to let you know that this is my personal thinking. For my opinion, this movie dis not "too bad".But just try it out if you have a lots of time and money.The reason why i hate this movie is because of the "too common story". i wonder who wrote this kind of scenario.If i figured it out i would like to give an advice to the scenarist that it's good to have twists inside the movie but you have to consider genre and basic settings before you try to add dramatic part in your writing.A stroke of good luck in, actors are this movie's saving point. I had to admit that every single one of them are attractive even though i hate this movie.So when you watch this movie you will soon realize that Frankie Chen is qualified to be a director because of her casting skill. Literally actors are the only part that lets you stay and watch all the non-empathized plot and heavily dramatic settings. Even though i hate this movie but i'd like to recommend this movie to others. But remember main characters are the only reason of this recommendation. Try it if you have a lot of time and would like to experience dramatic(but have no connection between the story)and the story that to be seen in anywhere or any third-rate movie

thatguydude first off im a guy and watched this with my gf only knowing it being a comedy movie. i have seen "you are the apple of my eye" and that had to be one of my favorite movies. "you are the apple of my eye" does a great job of showing a guys side of a love story. i was surprised this movie was similar but in a good way. so if you loved "you are the apple of my eye" you will surely love this one. it has enough funny moments and some good heart felt moments for sure.the best part i like here ***SPOILERS************ was this foreshadowing that took me by surprise even though i didn't blink an eye when watching the movie. the foreshadowing im talking about is when we find out taiyu suffers a dangerous head injury. they show him on occasion getting hit hard on the head but you think nothing of it since he was portraying a bad ass image you figure it meant nothing. but NOPE! they show the reason why he missed school and all the flashbacks. IMO best part of the movie was that. annnd now the only thing i hate was the ending. i know this movie isn't real but they really stretched it out and kind of made it weak by having taiyu being the "ticket guy" at the end. i'm more of the bitter sweet ending person that's why i loved you are the apple of my eye so much. if this movie ended with Truly just reminiscing at her office and make taiyu sadly passed away from head trauma or be fine but lost in contact from Truly i would actually enjoyed it more. obviously that's just me. ****END OF SPOILERS*********Main point is this is one great great memorable movie. definitely going in as one of my favorites.

Minnan Ruan I admit, this movie does not deserve a 2 out of 10, but I feel compelled to give it such a low score to bring down the overall ratings it currently possesses. A 7.5 out of 10 is overrating Our Times, granted that You're the apple of my eye, a much more successful version of this movie, is only 7.7.The plot is formulaic and repetitive: a clumsy diamond-in-the-rough type of girl harbors unrequited love for the white prince of the school. Then a black prince comes into the picture, gradually sweeps her off her feet with his charm and sincerity. But then the director drops the old classic study-abroad bomb into the drama as the black prince has to leave the country to study abroad due to his misdemeanor. The two of them are separated for 6 or 7 years but surprisingly (or unsurprisingly), still hold feelings for one another. The movie ends with a profoundly unrealistic fairy-tale conclusion (not just in the fact that the two meet again as if destiny calls on them but also the impossibly romantic setting) which rouses the hopeless romantic girls out there, making them swoon and go "awwww", but bores experienced movie- goers to the core, making them go "fuuuuu..." and wonder why they bought into the praising reviews. In terms of depicting the bittersweet sentiments of first love, Our Times pales in comparison with You're The Apple of My Eye, mostly due to its formulaic and unrealistic nature. You cannot "feel" much because you know it cannot happen in real life or can already predict what is happening next.In short, watch Our Times if you are looking for a movie to while away your time, or if you are a romantic searching for an excessively, over-the-top fairy-tale love stories. *I am not a follower of the You're The Apple of My Eye cult. I'm merely comparing the two movies because of the similarities in the overarching theme of youth and first love.
