"So Young" is an appropriate title for this movie about a group of university students, but mostly about a girl, Zheng Wei, who, even several years later, still has a lot of growing up to do.
The character I like most in this movie is Zheng Wei's boyfriend, Chen Xiaozhen. He kept growing. Though he didn't like her childish, scandalous, stalkerish behavior at first, he learned to love her. He might have been materialistic which was pretty evident from their first meeting when he pushed her to save his project, but he realized later on that success at the cost of failure as a person is not worth it. He came from a poor background so he wanted to better himself and not inflict his poverty on the one he loves. If he had a more supportive, less selfish girlfriend, she would have been happy with the opportunity that came his way. Instead, his too-full-of-herself girlfriend would have a hard time forgiving him for not putting her above everything else.
I love the open ending. If they get back together, it would mean she has grown up and has shed off that "I should matter the most in your life" mentality. If they don't, there's hope he would find a girl more worthy of his affection and dreams. However, as I think over the last few minutes of the film right now, the ending might not be as open as it seems at first, once Zheng Wei finds out what Chen Xiaozhen told the dolphin trainer... But then it begs the question, why didn't he go ahead with his plan? So yeah, open-ending...
