By Zhang Jiajia, “I Belonged to You” is a quirky romantic comedy directed by Zhang Yibai. The movie topped the Chinese box office the first week it was released and won Best Film at the 30th Tokyo International Film Festival Golden Crane Awards in 2017.
Chen Mo is the host of the Number 1 late night radio program with his long time love, Xiao Rong, until a lonely caller unknowingly sparks Xiao to end her relationship with Chen. This sends the show and its host into a downward spiral culminating in a seemingly ridiculous bet between Chen and Xiao. If Chen and his new and inept intern, Yao Ji, can rise to number 1 in the ratings, Xiao must marry him. If the show fails to garner the top spot, Chen must parade around the town carrying a sign that reads “I am an idiot”.
Chen’s “little brothers” Mo Shi Ba and Zhu Tou are also not fairing well in the relationship department. Mo Shi Ba is an eccentric inventor living off his cousin Chen and is chased daily by local female police officer Li Zhi. Zhu Tou has been in an 8 year relationship with his college sweetheart, Yan Zi. Unfortunately, the couple has spent most of their relationship apart as Yan Zi has been traveling the world, funded by the money Zhu Tou sends her consistently.
Past Lives (2023)
Zhang Yibai directs and Zhang Jiajia writes a thought provoking yet fun and sometimes sad look into how couples fall in and out of love. They reveal to the audience through stories told by the characters of how their relationships developed and dissolve as each one journies on their very different paths of life.
Deng Chao’s portrayal of Chen Mo is brilliant. Deng is able to express the many emotions of Mo, who doesn’t handle the dissolving of his relationship well, which leads him to lose the compassion and warmth that made him relate to his radio audience. His bitterness blinds him about what is meaningful in life, being present in the moment. Chen is also blinded to the fact the love he once had for Xiao Rong can be perfected with the least likely person, Yao Ji. Du Juan as Xiao Rong and Zhang Tianai as Yao Ji have excellent onscreen chemistry with Deng.
Innocent Mo Shi Ba, played by Yang Yang, is so preoccupied with developing new technology in order to become successful that he doesn’t realize that independent Li Zhi chasing him every day is her quirky way of flirting with him. Bai Bai He is delightful as Li Zhi.

Yue Yun Peng’s performance as Zhu Tou is endearing and emotional as he transforms from a gullible and kind hearted man who just wants to make his girlfriend happy by giving her everything, into a lost soul who begins to travel the world. He saves money for an apartment by living with Chen as he prepares for an ill fated marriage proposal.
The cinematography of the movie is just as importatnt to the film as the actors and the script due to the emotional weight it delivers in each scene. The nighttime and rainy scenes wrap the aucience in sadness and lonliness, while the outside daytime scenes are light and airy. The daytime scenes full of fun, joy and life.
“I Belonged to You” is a tear-jerking yet funny analysis of the love lives of a group of young people that could be set anywhere in the world. The audience can empathize with their losses and celebrate in their happiness. Everyone personally knows or could be any one of these vibrant characters, which makes the film heartwarming and enjoyable.
Korean Composer Praises Bts Jungkook's Produced Song “still With You”: The Jazzy Ballad Would Have Topped Melon If It Was Formally Released
TagsBai Bai He Deng Chao Du Juan I Belonged To You Yang Yang Yue Yun Peng Zhang Jiajia Zhang Tianai Zhang YibaiQi Yue comes from a well-off family and has no ambition at all. She spends her time doing absolutely nothing. One day, her 25-year-old son, Qi Shuo, comes from the future and tells Qi Yue that she will have a bad marriage and a miserable life due to her death-defying ability. To avoid this regret from happening, Qi Shuo travels back to help her rewrite her fate. When Qi Yue learns that her future husband is Lu Xiao, the school's straight-A student, she is forced to make an effort to improve herself in the face of the difference. Qi Shuo develops a transformation plan, and under the supervision of her own son and her own effort, Qi Yue is admitted to the same university as Lu Xiao. There, she goes head on with Lu Xiao. Qi Shuo takes the initiative to enter Lu Xiao's inner circle and becomes a helper to his mother. With cheekiness and gimmicks, she finally captures the heart of Lu Xiao (Source: iQIYI) ~~ Adapted from the web novel Ta Kua Yue Shan Hai Er Lai (他跨越山海而来) by Chong Xiao Bian (虫小扁). Edit Translation
This is a very simple, funny, and moving story. Twenty-five-year-old Qi Shuo is utterly devastated when his mother Qi Yue dies at an early age after a difficult life. He travels back in time to change her life. The teenage Qi Yue is just a somewhat lonely, happy-go-lucky young girl with no goals or ambitions. She hilariously accepts that she has an adult son and after some initial reluctance, happily goes along with his machinations without looking too deeply into his assertions. She is that kind of oddly naive, scratch-on-the-surface, go-along-get-along kind of person, which is why her life gets so messed up. Qi Shuo is determined to make her go on to university and marry Lu Xiao, a gifted physics student and more importantly, a good man.
The unconventional, comedic, and touching mother-son dynamics between a young man who cajoles, threatens, bullies, badgers and manipulates his teenage mother in line is the best thing about this drama. Qi Yandi and Liu Yitong's heartwarming chemistry and goofy humorous antics as they pursue Lu Xiao had me in stitches. This trio of young main actors really impressed me with their spontaneous and brilliant use of comedy to convey deep emotions. Arguably Lu Xiao is the less interesting role but Wu Difei hits all the right notes with his portrayal of a goofy, romantic and insanely hot nerd. The way his Lu Xiao silently sees everything and steps up to take the baton from Qi Shuo adds a resonating depth to this otherwise archetypal character. Qi Landi also compels as the effervescent Qi Yue who each time lives joyously in the moment, oblivious to any undercurrents until after the point of no return that leaves her shattered. But it is Liu Yitong's stunning portrayal of the quirky, intelligent, diabolical and selfless Qi Shuo, a young man-child that completely floors me. His Qi Shuo is a character that makes me want to laugh as hard as I want to weep. His impish, unadulterated joy as he basks in Qi Yue and Lu Xiao's happiness and affection with the barest sheen of moisture in his eyes is iconic. There is no justice in the drama world if this young actor doesn't go places.
Longing For You (tv Series)
This is a very entertaining and very funny drama that makes it easy for me to forgive its flaws from the choppy editing to some plot holes. It is not perfect and there are some digressions that including Qi Shuo's mini romance that are unnecessary. Even though unlike Qi Yue, I could see the inevitable ending speeding toward me like the white truck of doom, I was still shaken. Despite disconnected cuts that suggest the heavy hand of censorship towards the end, the final message remains intact - The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There's only one moment for you to live and that is the present moment - Buddha.
This is far from a perfect drama but it is still a story that will stay with me for a long while. It is quite simply the saddest happy story about the absolute, unconditional love between a child and their parent. I rate this as a very heartwarming and funny 8.0/10.0.
This 20-episode drama took me by the neck and gave me a ride on the emotional rollercoaster. the synopsis confused me so much that it actually made me want to watch this and it was such a treat though I went into it with no expectations at all since there's not much drama about time travel that did it right or somewhat logical at least this one even with little knowledge about time traveling theory it would still make sense.
I Belonged To You (2016)
Okay so with the vital part of the drama (for me) Qi shuo, that character was the super glue of the drama, I would not trade Liu yitong to any other actor he made Qi shuo the lovable character that made me love the whole drama. He was a son, the one that would cross the mountains, sea, and time and space for his mother and liu yitong managed to portray that for us. Like what they say in the drama 'All love in
