      The boy's obsessive eyes and cautious glances are very similar to a love short film, and it is also a story at the beginning of a crush. The first half of the plot is very dramatic and full of suspense, but since the police dad erased the recording and let them go, the story "slipped" into a love movie. The second half was obsessed with their love and forgot how to let the heroine complete the redemption . This is a point that is hard for me to get past.

      It's still a pity that Kee's last script, the opening paragraph is once again the "fateful" of extreme destiny, but later it has become Tom Tykway's personal mirror movement style, making the movie a romantic Hong Kong-style romance, if it is him If you shoot it yourself, you can definitely dig deeper into legal, justice, and moral judgments and personal redemption.
