This is actually a sweet and romantic movie, better than I expected, and then it had the absolute stupidest ending I've ever seen. Literally an actual meme it was so bad. I don't care if it's a happy or sad ending, that was just a stupid and pointless ending. It made me so angry it spoiled the whole movie for me.

I started watching this movie on Netflix, but the music and the voice acting was just so extremely bad that out of curiosity I decided to see how the original was in comparison. Man, it was so much better. The english version is not just bad voice acting, they completely changed the dialogue and inserted a lot of out-of-date pop references (to star wars and ubers for example) and horrible pop songs and cringe. The original version had none of these references, and nice and calm melodic music instead of the pop songs, so the literal mood of the movie was lost in translation. The Netflix version also literally cut out some parts of the movie. I'd give the american version a 1, but the chinese version gets 5 stars (that's quite high for me).

I like this movie a lot. It's just genuinely scary and it doesn't have to surprise you or startle you (even tho it does), the concept gets you. The grandparents are also incredible actors, I've worked with a lot of elderly patients and it really got me how realistic they were acting (apart from the real horror parts ofc). The ending is a little weak, the scariest parts aren't in what is supposed to be the "peak" but it still doesn't take away much from the movie, the rest is just so good.
