[Short review written on September 15, 2018]

The heroine grew up in a four-person family. She has a dare to challenge herself, a well-behaved sister, and a gynecologist father. Soon after her mother died, her introverted personality drove her to have only a good girlfriend. The heroine loves to read romance novels, and she often imagines that she is the heroine held in the palm of the hand in the novel. Throughout her middle school career, there are always a few secret crushes, but because she traps herself in her comfort zone, she prefers to FF on her own rather than speak out, and seal all feelings in a love letter that will not be sent. Due to an accident, all the love letters were sent out, and one of them was sent to Josh, the sister's ex-boyfriend. The heroine is afraid of her sister's blame and decides to avoid Josh. The actor Peter just broke up with the heroine's former girlfriend, hoping to stimulate the former girlfriend to regain the old good. Peter and the heroine signed a love contract, pretending to be boy and girl friends with each other until the school's annual ski trip day. -The insecure and introverted heroine has been trapped in her comfort zone for a long time, and she does not choose to show her emotions. She is satisfied with her own fantasies and fears all kinds of incidents after confession. She is worried that after accepting the other party, she will feel unhappy when facing separation. . This depiction reflects the youthful adolescents and the chaos of the fawns during the secret love period. . When confirming that she fell in love with the other party, the heroine decided to step back and her sense of inferiority reappeared. She was so afraid that she fell too deep, but she fell into the mud. In case Peter returned to her former girlfriend, she would have at least an excuse to be all over her body. Retreat, alienate Peter, and deliberately suppress his love. -But this is not fair to Peter, who knows nothing about the heroine's love. The two sides are in love each other, waiting for the hero and heroine to deal with other fetters. Peter thought he had given enough hints, but the insecure heroine had no insight. -Because of a misunderstanding, the heroine who suffered from inferiority complex returned to the state where she deliberately concealed herself, deliberately low-key, and boasted "the invisible person in school", but her father said with great heart that the heroine can be cheerful to her family, but why is she inferior to the outside world? The protagonist just wakes up like a dream, as if putting on a mask to show others, the real self is also very good. -Don't hide that part of you, okay? -The heroine thinks that her sister will hate her, that Peter does not love herself, and that sending a love letter will destroy the relationship with everyone. All incidents occurred, I thought that the heroine’s belief was absolutely incorrect, deliberately concealed emotions, communication was based on the heroine’s mask,-the whole movie heroine was in a passive state, was accidentally pushed to take the first step in life , The second step, the third step, after finally escaping, choose to control your own destiny and achieve growth. -The scriptwriter writes the part of the love with meticulous detail. In the restaurant scene, the two parties have determined that the falsification will come true, but they are testing each other and choosing to step back, and the actors are just right to complete the feeling of moving forward and backward in love. -The father and the second male have few chances to play, but in the end, the dialogue written to comfort the heroine is the biggest driving force for the heroine to take the initiative. -I don’t like to take the initiative, I like backing off, I lack security, my interpersonal relationship is messed up, I’m afraid of losing, I use too much force, but I lose my true self. This movie teaches the audience a valuable lesson. Unexpectedness is rare, and the ability to take the initiative Resolve contradictions.
