The Stolen Years (2013)

Having seen most of Bai Bai He's films (notably "A Wedding Invitation" and "Love is Not Blind"), I had expected a decent movie. Bai Bai He takes on another role as a sick person, similar to "A Wedding Invitation". She draws you in with her bubbly attitude at the beginning, only to suck you dry (of tears) at the end. Want to watch a movie that will drive you to tears at the end? This is the one you want to stick with throughout.
There were loopholes, like how some supporting characters were just pushed off the screen without much of a excuse. But without paying too much attention to these small details and just focus on the big picture, the story can be romantically heart-wrenching. It's almost like an adaptation of "A Wedding Invitation", which stars Bai Bai He and Eddie Peng. The story lines are very similar. The cast are both just as wonderful. Joseph Chang challenges the role of a man who very much loves his wife (ex-wife, etc) and tries to yield to her every demand. I can never get bored of Bai Bai He because she is simply amazing with her roles, always challenging the opposite sex with her prowess. This was a well directed film.
