Unrealism over authentic romance

Warning: Spoilers
This is a Taiwanese movie from 3 years ago written and directed by Liu Chunyou. He has not made a film before or after this and same can be said about the two actors in here. But they are still young, so who knows what's going to happen in the future. This short film runs for 9 minutes and was intended as a dramatic romance film, but sadly comes short. For some strange reason a young man assumes that the girl of his dreams is playing with a kite, but he struggles hard to find her. However, he does not give up, even uses the internet in order to find her. Well, actually he does give up at the end and of course this is the very moment that she appears pretty much out of nowhere and of course it's love at first sight. I did not really like this film, it all seemed so random and coincidental. I am not sure if I liked the song at the end. It's pretty cheesy looking at the lyrics, but the singer's voice is okay. This song is also the only sequence were Chinese is spoken in this movie. There is no dialog in here, so you can also enjoy this if you don't speak a word of Chinese. Oh well, you could enjoy this if it was a good film I should better say. Not recommended.
