While these movies are always "sunny" (a Chinese term), bright and delightful, at the same time they are so chaste and cliche as to seem like the CCP got a hold of them. The romantic couple never even HUGS for seven years!
In short, it's a movie that's safe to watch with your Chinese grandmother in the room-though she would probably roll her eyes because even she gave your grandfather a kiss within the first month of dating.
A more worthwhile movie in this genre, ironically, is the remake of More Than Blue (2018). It carries the theme of "I love you, but I will never ever tell you" to hilarious extreme, yet it's such a tear jerker that you can't laugh at how ridiculous it is. A fun time.
score 5/10
