YesAsia Editorial Description
After Cape No. 7, Taiwan's most talked about movie of 2008 was probably My So-Called Love starring top actress Barbie Hsu (Connected, Meteor Garden). Casting off her reserved image, Hsu is willful and alluring in her portrayal of one woman's tumultuous search for love over a decade's time. Featuring an original score by Mavis Fan and love scenes that had the media buzzing, the film co-stars three of Taiwan's most popular actors as Hsu's romantic interests - Joseph Chang (Eternal Summer), Eddie Peng (Exit No. 6), and Easton Tung Ming Hsiang (Island Etude). Produced by Hsu Li Kong (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), My So-Called Love marks the feature-length debut of director Leading Lee, a rising star in the industry already well known as a writer and photographer.
Raised in a broken family, Cat(Barbie Hsu) runs away from home as a teenager to escape her stepfather. In high school, she begins living with boyfriend Liam(Eddie Peng), but puppy love eventually ends in betrayal. While Liam is in the army, Cat, feeling lonely and poor, meets an older man through the Internet; Xiao Gu (Joseph Chang) is looking for sex, Cat is looking for money. From lust comes love, until Cat discovers Xiao Gu is actually married. After ten years of ups and downs, Cat begins anew at age 28 when she meets the rich and kind-hearted Sunshine (Easton Tung), but is he really her heart's final home?

Product Information
Director: Li Ding
Produced by Hsu Li Kong (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon); starring Taiwan's favorite dignified actress Barbie Hsu (Connected, Meteor Garden) and Taiwan's most popular actors, including Joseph Chang (Eternal Summer); have aroused tremendous media hype on their alluring love scenes. Yet what the film truly portraits is modern human-beings' soulful journey in search of love and self. The story follows Kitty's (Barbie Hsu) pursuit of "Pure love" throughout a decade. Including her platonic first love, and her internet "Sex Trade" with a married man with whom she is both sexually and mentally compatiable. Featuring an original score by famous composer - singer of Taiwan Pop Music, Mavis Fan, the film resembles a modern love song with both warmth and bitterness.

Barbie Hsu is good, but...
|
"My So-Called Love" is one of the most frustrating and, ultimately, disappointing films I've seen in recent months. Barbie Hsu stars as Cat, a gorgeous girl from a broken home. She flees her home when her stepfather gives her unwanted attention, moving in with her boyfriend, the dutiful Liam (Peng Yu Yan). All goes well with the young couple, until Liam gets drafted into the army just as Cat is entering university. Before Liam departs, Cat asks him to define "love". He offers a perfect description: "Love means giving of yourself. Always giving." Just right! But after Liam departs for the military, Cat reveals a selfish and self-destructive nature that is almost the opposite of "always giving". To earn money for her education, she turns to selling her body for cash and becomes involved with a married man. Watching Cat's self-hatred consume her makes for difficult viewing and the film's unresolved ending is unsatisfying. Indeed, after Liam's beautiful description of love mentioned above, the film spends the next 90 minutes leading to this response from Cat: "Perhaps ... there's no answer to my question [of 'what is love']. Instead, it's the ability after each painful experience to encourage each other to speak our mind." Oh, please. Unfortunately, this kind of empty pseudo-philosophizing is characteristic of this film's pretentious script and excessively arty cinematography. On the plus side, beautiful Barbie Hsu's performance is compelling and Mavis Fan's film score is brilliant, perfectly suited to the movie's atmosphere. Unfortunately, those positives are squandered by the incoherent story and sophomoric script. |

Barbie's first daring role!!
|
Barbie's looks is really very innocent. It's hard to envisioned her playing a young prostitute. On her first time of being one, she played her role being a novice. The more she gets to go with Eddie Peng the more mature scene you can expect. I think she did her acting well. Eddie Chang played his role pretty well too. I was expecting less actually but he is really good. This film is worth buying. |
