Beautiful and picturesque, but the three views are shattered...I wonder if the director has any strange male fantasy...The film's interpretation of love is very romantic, without sense of responsibility, loyalty, and understanding. Can you enter marriage? East Asian family movies always have complicated cultural bindings, but this movie does the opposite. All three relationships are impulsive actions without any scrutiny. The heroine's independence is portrayed as a joke, casually like it is the end of a very tiring day lying in bed without taking a bath and just fell asleep...Emotions are untenable, if the heroine is a desire for soldiers, then the heroine is half-pushing and half-pushing the soldiers anyway. I died; I didn’t shoot the old man’s guilt at the end; it’s strange to ask Oak to stay. In the end, I want to get it back when I lost it. The film has nothing to do with this kind of strange criticism. It just uses a seeming happy ending. After that, another new version of the story of princess and prince living a happy life.
The female protagonist’s refusing the marriage contract twice is very elegant: I'm too independent for you. If I were to marry, I'd want somebody to tame me and you'd never be able to do it. You'd grow to despise me.
Though I respect you very much, I do not feel what would justify me in accepting your offer. I have a piano. And I have my own farm. And I have no need for a husband, no matter how honored I am by the offer
The lyrics of the song I sang are also beautiful:
Come all you fair and tender girls
That flourish in your prime
Beware beware keep your garden fair
Let no man steal your thyme
For when your thyme it is past and gone
He'll care no more for you
And every place where your thyme was waste
Will all spread o'er with rue
The gardener's son was standing by
Three flowers he gave to me
The pink, the blue, and the violet true
And the red, red rosy tree
But I refused the red rose bush
And gained the willow tree
That all the world may plainly see
How my love slighted me
