Simple, But Sweet Love Story
In essence, "A Time to Love" (its English Title) is a typical love story with many theme elements that have been seen before, nothing ground breaking. Having said that, it's nicely written and it doesn't get sappy or too clichéd as in the case in many love stories of late. It is also interesting to note how well Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is integrated. Instead of simply copying that play's plot, it was a vital player in the lead characters lives. Acting talent is very good, including lead actress, Vicki Zhao, who showed a range of emotions well. The plot flowed well, it doesn't get dragging. All in all, if you like a nice little love story that is well written, and don't mind that it's not revolutionary, "A Time to Love" is worth a look.
