YesAsia Editorial Description

Director Zhang Yuan (Green Tea) brings his observational, documentary-like style to I Love You, an uncommon drama starring Mainland stars Xu Jinglei and Tong Dawei. Yi (Tong Dawei) is a young man who can't understand his friends' urges to get married, but he embarks on his own matrimonial adventure when he proposes to Ju (Xu Jinglei). The couple experiences the initial blush of wedded bliss, but their idealized fantasy of marriage soon gives way to the stark realities of a life together. Stress from work, and the unrealistic expectations of a modern, media-influenced couple slowly chip away at their affection for one another. And yet they struggle to remain together...

I Love You is both an ironic and fitting title for this seemingly ordinary drama that ultimately feels genuine and utterly real. Xu Jinglei and Tong Dawei turn in remarkable performances, and director Zhang Yuan wrings fascinating emotions from his mundane subject matter.

A Love Feud Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
At first this film can be slightly muddling and throws a bit of a red herring as to who are the main couple here, as two accompanying actors take precedence to begin with. But in hindsight after watching this film, this discordant beginning is reflective of the disharmony the main couple show throughout most of this movie.

The film is about Yi a man with misgivings about getting married, but soon changing his mind after meeting Ji, a nurse at a hospital, and of how they quickly date, marry and live together in quick succession. Yi and Ju seem truly happy at first and vow to one another their true love. But this idyllic ambiance is soon broken by sudden discordance and argumentation, after one point when Ju as cosmetic make up applied at a store, upsets her husband to cold icy disapproval. Afterward their relationship becomes perpetually sour and argumentative for mundane and silly reasons.

As trivialities get worse, Ju continually complains that her love for Yi is true, but Yi doesn’t show the affectionate feelings he’d first shown to her when they’d first met. Yi is supposed to not feel love inside himself, and this frustrates Ju to almost insane levels. Perpetually Ju and Yi become like two repelling magnets, always shouting at the other, and as you watch you really will be aghast as to their reasoning. This pitch of arguing, beseeching, deploring and shove away negativity increases to intensity right up until the brittle end. This really is one long love feud.

Acting is excellent. Mid way the argumentative fever pitch reaches such a threshold that both Yi and Ju argue at the same time, with the scene eventually fading its sound as their perpetual ferocity continues.

Although somewhat irregular at the beginning, it does become an interesting reflection about a feuding couple and almost a duel psychological character study. Actress Xu Jinglei as Ju is excellent here and Tong Dawei is equally creditable by his acting skills. At first I only appreciated this film’s pitch as mediocre, but by the end I could almost believe that Ju was like this, and of course that's down to Xu Jinglei’s intense and brilliant acting. Its brittle, but is intensely reflective of what misplaced understanding in a relationship can procure.

Worth seeing for its acting quality and its reflection of how love can be terribly heart breaking at times.
