Charming and lively youth comedy set in a music school where classical Chinese music becomes a fun competitive battle.
A town somewhere in China, Chen Jing, sophomore Chinese Music at Zhongxia Academy of Music's Afiliative High School, sees the handsome classical music student Wang Wen practicing on the piano and immediately falls in love with him ... The film goes far beyond the novel, it teaches about Chinese music and proper classical music in a rather energetic, rather entertaining, but fun, youthful comedy driven by an animated performance by TV actress Xu Lu.
The film sustains its energy from a mass of small details and quirky ideas, beginning with the two music departments being so hostile to each other that they are separated by an iron gate in the same building. An innovative film full of energy and innovative ideas that is worth watching.
