Synopsis

Sad fairy tale is a story about carrying one’s destined love in one’s heart through joy and tears.
My thoughts
The story is awesome… It got me to cry at five minutes before the movie ends. However, the one thing which strikes me the most in the movie is the well played character by Liu Shi Shi… She really nailed this movie!!
Oh.. now I understand why there is a dedicated blog just to update her news.. You may check it anyway at www.aishishi.wordpress.com
Anyway, I just realize that LSS’s body posture is so amazing when she was standing or sitting or even doing anything. It must be because all of the ballet training… Just look at the picture for example.. Her body posture is just so amazing..
Now, I am official becoming one of her loyal fan and will look forward for her collaboration with Vic Chou in the future. The movie called A Moment of Love. She will also play a character in Incisive Great Teacher with my favorite actor Nicky Wu and my least favorite actor Wallace Huo… Let’s just hope that Wallace doesn’t ruin the series…
