Review
This is one good movie with a refreshing plot. It is not a typical love story that evolves around two people who are deeply in love with each other, but due to some financial or misunderstands they are separated. Instead, the film focused on one of the most problematic issue most teenagers face nowadays - drugs. The theme of this story put much emphasis on #1 teenager's future-killer. In a way, the movie tried to grab attention from parents by forewarning them about how harmful it could be if the children are not being given enough guidance. The writer tried to show how important career and work could be, but at the same breathe as a responsible authority, one should also look after the kids and knows exactly what he or she is doing.
Another nice thing about this movie was seeing Tai Linh and Vu Linh from a different angle in the love story. Instead of the usual lovebirds, they were presented in an extremely serious marriage with a long lasting love that only deepen as days go by. I really enjoyed this aspect of the film. It was really nice to see them in an established relationship.
