Fell in Love in Xishuangbanna (1997)

Plot holes everywhere

I watched this because it was recommended on Bilibili for its brilliant integration of ethnic culture with modernization. Yes, the actors and clothing are beautiful, however the plot is just trash. What even is this?
Duo falls in love with Yue at first sight and chases her around like a creepy stalker. The screenwriter tries to justify Duo and Beibei's touchiness as "stereotypical American culture," but what girl in their right mind would believe these two have nothing romantic? If I was Yue I would also think Duo is frivolous. Yue refuses to admit she's Duo's childhood friend for some mysterious reason, but this is never resolved even in the ending. There is no explanation. There are plot holes everywhere. There are random time skips. On top of that, there are so many random filler scenes with no dialogue. This feels more like a travel commercial.
