Zhang Ziyi still looks so beautiful 😭😍

[@princeedward5518]

Yes

[@7girl]

The way he looked at her. The way she cried tears in the end.. this story is so beautiful both actors were so great. Eddie Pdng and Zhang Zi Yi are my favorite actors in China/TW

[@happy_camper]

Eddie Peng seems like a really nice person. This was a really good role for him! And this is a great role for Zhang Ziyi too. In an interview, she said that she doesn't want to be only known for her action movies. I am sure she was happy to play this character.

[@bubulia]

Hi since ppl are confused I'll explain to yall what I think it's about. The girl (Leqi) and the guy (Ken/Yujian) have been in a long term relationship for some time however the guy moved away to Hokkaido to pursue his dreams of becoming a sushi chef. In the beginning they would communicate through letters and Ken would tell Leqi how beautiful Otaru was and how he wished for her to one day visit him. But as the relationship went on it didn't work out as they planned bc LDR's are difficult. They probably drifted apart and haven't spoken/sent letters to each other in some time and were in this awkward time where they both didn''t know if they were still together anymore but after Leqi realized she got promoted to a sub-branch of her company in America she wanted to go and see Ken in person to break it off for good and see him for the last time. When she got to the sushi place he was kind of surprised but he wanted to be professional so he acted like he didn't know her perhaps maybe waiting until he got off work to speak to her properly. But unfortunately she got drunk by the time the shop closed so instead of talking about the important stuff, he kinda teased her. When he said like oh who said such a lame thing to you, maybe he was expecting her to say you did but she said my ex-boyfriend and in that moment he realized that she came here to end things and they just kept up this act of not knowing each other. Also the subs here are a mess so here's a better translation: Ken: Why did you choose such a time to come to Otaru? (implying weather is bad) Leqi: Well it's better than being teased everyday for never seeing snow in your life before. Ken: There are people like that? Who's that lame? Leqi: My ex. They probably did this so they didn't have to think too much about their past as a couple or blame each other or whatnot. Like the time on the mountain when he was like oh maybe he should have kept to his promises and she said it doesn't matter now does it? So instead she kinda told him her feelings as if she didn't know him and as if she was just talking to a stranger about her ex without getting too confrontational about it since she wanted their last days to be pleasant. And he wanted to make up for not bringing her to Otaru during the time they were together and tried to fulfill everything on her bucket list. So he took her to places while she read the letters he sent to her in the past about the various places he wanted her to see and they spent time together like he intended to when they were still a couple. And the inn owner and sushi chef probably knew because Ken told them about it at some point (probably asked for a day off then told the sushi chef and when he was waiting for Leqi at the inn maybe he told the inn owner idk) honestly and since it's a small town the inn owner and sushi chef were probably acquainted already. In the end the subs are fucked up so it came of as confusing but it was just a joke between the two of them. She said you are my best ex-boyfriend as in you're the best ex-bf I've ever had and he said I'm the only ex-boyfriend you've had kinda in a teasing way. I mean keep in mind they've been in a relationship for 10 years until the broke up just a dayish ago so I'm guessing she's probably never dated anyone before him. In the end he tried to make sushi for her but could only do the rice since it takes a long time to master sushi making (8 years he says in the short) and imo it symbolizes the fact that he's still not done pursuing his dreams yet. And it also shows that he's sorry he couldn't finish fulfilling all that he promised to do with her and that their relationship couldn't come to completion. And then she pretended to eat the "sushi" and said said it was delicious pretty much implying that she is satisfied with everything he's done for her even if he wasn't able to make her a delicious proper sushi the way he wanted to. The end. TBH the subs at some points were really trash and unless you speak mando it can get confusing at points. PS. Someone can explain the "Love Letter" movie reference scene where she's screaming from the mountain because I've never watched the movie.

Amazingly beautiful. Everything. The story. The scenery. The music. Kind faces. Kind gestures. Thank you.

[@phetsoisa]

Eddie Peng's pained facial expression while holding the letters was on point in this scene, a definite giveaway that he was the Ziyi's ex-boyfriend.

[@anniesokol7033]

It is such a surprisingly delightful short film. It tells a tender love story and reminds me never to give up on people.

[@ameliaqu3691]

It's in his eyes that he still loves her very much. And she loves him. I know they say 10 years but I really wish the ending be they realize how much they miss each other and she tells him, "I've waited 10 years, what's another 2 more."

MANY SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS, INCLUDING MINE. I guess I am right in thinking that most people will not regret seeing this short film. I believe it's called, "So Long My Love!" There is some translation provided, but there's so much that's not made clear that it's hard to feel any certainty about what you've seen. Still, there is help in the comments once you've seen it, and I encourage you to see it.This little film tends to wake up the inside and make us wish very much that love could be more simple, and bring with it less pain, or at least came with a fool-proof instruction manual..One of the nice things in 'SLML" is how good the actors all are and the careful deliberateness of the director..Excellent. I also appreciate that the writer seems to leave 'possibilities' before us at the finish of this story...That--I 'really' like..♥

True. Encouraged a bf of 3 years to fulfill his dream of teaching English in Taiwan. He was there for 2 months, a day before I was suppose to fly there and visit him with the rest of his stuff.

[@simpleutil]

I am a romantic person but there is no sense in that story. When people love each other, they get married. That is all. She would move to his place or he would move to her place. All the rest is not serious. Those guys created sadness from nowhere. If you don't move, there is no serious attitude towards each other, so why are you crying? Apart from this the film is very well done.

is it complete?

[@iagreewithyou3478]

Wait, am I right in how I understood the story? (I have a theory but I'm not sure if my brain is just being stupid and overthinking things): So the guy is the girl's ex (pretty obvious as the story progresses). The twist is that after they broke up, something happened to the guy in japan that made him have anterograde amnesia. So she visits him every year and of course he doesnt recognize her each time. And the time that she spent with him in the film is her last visit. This theory explains why the old man and the owner of the inn are so warm to her like they already know her and tries to make them spend time with each other one last time. BUT the bigger twist is this time the guy remembers everything but doesn't tell her at the beggining. She realizes this later when she's at the sushi restaurant. Her tears when she ate the rice-only sushi is because she realized that this is really the end and that through the sushi the guy is telling her that "I'm sorry. I can't give you all of me and a life that you deserve. So forget me." The problem, though, is the line "I am the only ex boyfriend!" Couldn't fit this anywhere.

[@bubulia]

I'm pretty sure it's less complicated than that. The girl and they guy have been in a long term for some time however the guy moved away to Hokkaido to pursue his dreams to be a sushi chef. In the beginning they would communicate through letters and Ken would tell Leqi how beautiful Otaru was and how he wished for her to one day visit him. But as the relationship went on it didn't work out bc LDR's are difficult.

She said you are my best ex-boyfriend as in you're the best ex-bf I've ever had and he said I'm the only ex-boyfriend you've had kinda in a teasing way. I mean keep in mind they've been in a relationship for 10 years until the broke up now so I'm guessing she probably never dated anyone before him or whatever. So yeah it was just a joke. The subs were pretty bad at some parts and as a native Mandarin speaker it just had so much impact and it would've been clearer if you knew the language unfortunately.

@@bubulia Yeah your's is definitely more likely. More realistic.

[@jeffreyxie3765]

17 Carrots The ex-bf’s reply is supposed to be a blessing to the ex-gf. “I’m your only ex-bf” implies you won’t go through another breakup hence no more ex-bfs.

[@bubulia]

Jeffrey Xie Ahh that makes sense too I think it’s pretty vague so probably up for interpretation ^^

[@kssaint6290]

@@bubulia I really don't think this is that complicated. The "meat" of this story is revealed in the meeting between the owner of the sushi bar and Ken. He is asking if he is allowed to cook a meal for his ex-girlfriend who came there to end their relationship. And what does the owner do? He's getting upset, and walks out of the store in disgust and angrily. Well, in Japan tradition is the mother of all rules, and the owner feels that Ken is trying to cut corners, when asking to cook a meal before his time. Ken on the other hand understands why the owner gets upset, and he does the only thing he is allowed to do.....make a rice sushi, for he is only qualified to do just that......his action signifies that his relationship with the girl is exactly the same as his goal to become a sushi chef.....an unfinished business.
