freedom of mind

Compared with traditional love, this seems to be more like a story of a bird bound by rules going to freedom.

The stubbornness and prudence shown by the influence of the class family should have become Lucy's protective barrier, but the appearance of George broke her psychological defense. George is not bound by the rules of the upper class, and his cross-border behavior changed Lucy's concept and gave her "free love".

When she got closer to the depths of the rules, she realized her yearning for freedom. Cecil is not a person to hate, yet he is bound by rules and hierarchy, showing Lucy a signature "love without love". Lucy followed her inner decision, and this stubborn girl finally put down her disguise.

The calm and natural narrative style downplays this class-antagonistic relationship, but it is precisely because of this estrangement that this eloquent love story is so moving.

    The whole film is dominated by soft tones, dim yellow, sky blue, pure white, light gray... It sets off a warm and detailed atmosphere, and provides a suitable background color for rendering the wonderful love story.

    Helena was really classical and elegant when she was young. The actor of her fiance was actor Lewis, and the actor of her younger brother was Changhua. Many big names appeared, and the cast was powerful and charming. The plot twists and turns several times, but the ending is very happy
