Finding Mr. Right.


About a woman who went to Seattle to give birth. 
Her back-story and other people's back-stories. 
And how I've learned that the phrase "Dead Beat" does not only mean exhausted or extremely tired, as a slang, it also refers to a man whose income is smaller than his wife's and is being judged or termed as "house husbands"...... 
what crap the society gives all the time. 
Men who take care of home they call Dead Beat, 
women who take care of home they call "黄脸婆"



There are a few movie apps from the Apple App store; I could view Chinese movies from there.
English ones are not available in this region, except older titles. Even Chinese movies are also not the latest ones. But as long as they are of high definition, they're good enough for me.
I've not watched Chinese movies for a long time. Glad that these days their genres are wider.

Another movie-- Suddenly Seventeen, is about a lady who has been with her BF for 10 years but her BF has just refused to propose to her because he is having second thoughts about their relationship. He is busy with his career, while she mainly does her own stuff, cooks, and waits for him at home. After he refuses to propose to her, he adds that they should split. She panics and begs to remain in a relationship but he says his love / passion for her is gone. In her confused state, she over-eats and ordered online a mysterious box of chocolates. Between sobs, she consumed a ball of chocolate, after ingestion, she "transforms" into herself but age 17. A large portion of time was spent getting into arguments with herself, her older and younger self. In the process, she revives a lost skill (creative painting) as well as fell in love like any seventeen girl would. Eventually, she ran out of chocolates and her younger self was almost "dead" because she was heartbroken. In a dramatic moment, her older self managed to convince her younger self that she has always been loved, despite how it may appear (loneliness).
