I'm not sure why the reviews are so low! Yes the plot is predictable and it's very cheesy. But I still really loved it! It's not Oscar worthy but it's a nice movie to just turn off your brain for a bit and just relax to. I'm a sucker for Hallmark/predictable romance story lines. And this movie falls right into that category.
I'm not Chinese so I would not be able to comment on the cultural parts of the movie. However I am Asian American so it was nice to see people who look like me on screen.
I did wish they put a little more screen time with the "five dates" since that's the premise of the movie. Also the "best friend" felt like a one dimensional character. Wish the friend had more character development.
