I watched this movie because I am a fan of Kris Wu (formerly of the Kpop boy band EXO). As far as his acting skills go, all I can write is he isn't the best actor but rather a very pretty face. Which I think is what got him the role and he serves his purpose as a dreamlike fantasy guy/love interest for the main character. Some of his scenes where he has emotional moments are believable and others aren't so much. He's pretty even when it comes to his acting chops. But then again, his role is to look good as the romantic interest, which he does with A+ quality (I happen to think he looks the best when he smiles/with very little makeup and when he's not "brooding"). As for the movie itself, I thought the movie was a typical romcom/romantic drama. Which was good for what it was worth. It's shot really nicely and makes the viewer want to book a trip to Prague (if we had the $$$) in hopes of uncovering our own romantic love story through help from the past like the leading lady does in this film. In the end I think the overall message about this romcom was about healing and letting the past heartaches be put to rest so that we as individuals can move on and enjoy the future. 5/10.
