It reminds me of 'ONE DAY' the movie, i liked everything about this movie, the ending was great, the story it's just what a typical romantic movie need.. if you feel like you need to watch a love story where there is love as the old romantic movies so GO WATCH IT NOW !!!

Love story that expands between 10-15 years spand are a trend nowadays. South Korea, Taiwan and Japan made movies about that from a few years ago and now it's mainland China turn. Love Will Tear Us Apart started from our protagonist's high school years. How they fell in love and made silly things along the way. The story then jumped every few years, with its obstacle along the way paved around their love story. For those who familiar with South Korean or Japanese POV story telling, this movie would feel a little bit flat. The pace sometimes too quick for us as viewers to understand the inner struggle of protagonist. Everything just went like that without any emphasis. It didn't really fit the story that they really fought for their love. However, this movie actually could have 8 or even 9 ratings if not for poor character development. How could a person that already worked as a contractor for almost 10 years still being cheated to? And who in their right mind would hit the blizzard on the mountain in the middle of nowhere? My sympathy for the protagonist did drastically reduced because of this. The screen writer should have made a more reasonable protagonist. Average 7/10.

I'm a sucker for this type of Chinese romance film. Love Will Tear Us Apart is extremely well executed with award winning acting from the two leads. While there are so many similar movies every year, this one is a little different as it never allows audience's sympathy to steer away from the couple, it is very well focused and the feeling is so authentic. A genuine, powerful romance story.
