The script was tight and swift so i didnu0026#39;t feel bored. Humor factor was also in plenty there more of situational though but a genuine one. Acting was smooth and convincing…all the characters did their part well so no complaint here. Story also was simple yet grasping so overall the movie is a fun to watch despite its small star cast it is one of the best Chinese comedy movie i have seen in recent years. Highly recommended!! My rating 7.5/10”
