Plot Introduction: Wang Yang (Duan Yihong) and Tang Weiwei (Li Bingbing) were lovers in their university days. Like many young lovers, they faced the clash between dreams and reality when entering society. Tang Weiwei quickly found her place, but Wang Yang, due to his unwillingness to compromise, often hit walls. Tang Weiwei frequently "advised" Wang Yang, hoping that he could be more "hidden", while Wang Yang became increasingly arrogant inside, eventually leaving Tang Weiwei without a word.
Years later, Tang Weiwei had become a successful career woman, but her love life was bumpy, leaving her alone. Her rival Jin Xiaoling helped her with online matrimonial ads, but she couldn't find the right person. When Yang Nianhua (Sun Honglei) appeared before Tang Weiwei, he was an ordinary middle-aged man driving a QQ car. Although Tang Weiwei had some feelings for Yang Nianhua, she didn't consider him as a marriage candidate. At this time, Wang Yang reappeared as a wealthy bachelor and director of a diamond sales company.
Useful Comments:
Tea Haiyu (January 16, 2012): Marriage is the grave of love, but if there is no grave called marriage, wouldn't love die without a place to rest? Is it wrong?
Taoxinxu Shifan (January 15, 2012): The older sister juggling two rich bachelors, Li Bingbing finally restored the stunning elegance seen in 'The Wind Rises'. Sun Honglei's witty humor and comedic charm, Duan Yihong and Lotus Sister reminiscing about today's embrace while bungee jumping romantically to Wang Fei's 'I Willing', Zhang Li guest starring as a materialistic woman! Compared to other comedies, this film has less romantic sentimentality but highlights the awkward conflict between money and true love. It's unexpected how Sun Zhou and鲍德熹could create such beauty, nearing classic.
Mo Dong Budri (January 13, 2012): On one side is a young diamond bachelor, on the other is an old bachelor turned diamond. It's not easy for the protagonists of Western romance to make a choice.
Lucy=Amen Laojie (February 1, 2012): Excluding植入ads, the filming was rough. I seriously feel the values portrayed in this film are problematic. Letting such content pass censorship is what makes bad official style, far nastier than dirty words or violence. Just throw money around and cause trouble.
Liu Xiaoqing (December 7, 2011): "If a woman idles until the age of 30, she will lose all her vitality by then." In fact, the movie is quite unrealistic, very fairy-tale like, similar to 'Single Men and Women'. Two gold men pursuing Li Bingbing, what annoyed me most was that at the end of the story, Li Bingbing still did not clearly choose, continuing to enjoy being pursued. It's a rather chaotic Cinderella story, still a big girl movie.
Lychee Chao Ren (February 8, 2012): This kind of brilliance would be better suited for TV series instead of torturing audiences on the big screen.
Jimo Rensheng (February 6, 2012): Shockingly, except for the first page, all 30+ pages have 4-star ratings, shocking!
Kai Lang Cha Ji (February 8, 2012): I'm willing is the Chinese version of 'Ugly Duckling Queen'. Old flame Duan Yihong returns after seven years, former flame Sun Honglei is caring and witty. The best scene is with Li Bingbing standing up for her sister and running errands for her ex, righteousness first; tear-jerking scenes show the state of a middle-aged woman, the jump with student Duan shows even more power. Similarly leaping, the hesitant maiden still relies on a man, whereas a thirty-year-old independent woman can make her own decision while shedding tears.
RN_201007 (February 8, 2012): Too many advertisements!
Yuan Fang ❤ (February 7, 2012): Truly too many ads.
Luxixi (February 5, 2012): Li Bingbing has many gunners, her movies aren't reliable, just like her persona—pretentious.
Yuchen Yu (February 5, 2012): Li Bingbing's performance has become more refined, naturally drawing us into the role.
Fubaoke (February 4, 2012): Another major highlight of 'I Willing' is its dialogues. Clearly integrated with many spicy and sharp jokes. Tang Weiwei's older female colleague: "When I was young, I feared men wanted something from me, now, I fear I have nothing left to offer them,"...
V (February 8, 2012): A solo elegy sung by the aging spinster Li Bingbing.
Agatha (February 6, 2012): Another Cinderella story.
Chi Fei's Dream Man (February 5, 2012): If I were Tang Weiwei, it would be hard to give up Duan Yihong, definitely my first love.
Karla is a Cat (February 8, 2012): Loved it, full of laughter and emotion, all three main actors performed well, perfect for watching on Valentine's Day.
Laomei (February 8, 2012): Embedding ads in movies is shameful, but using Paris as a backdrop isn't necessarily so. However, the acting of the three actors is not shameful.
Yiyi Mao (February 7, 2012): Watched the premiere, saw it again. Quite a warm-hearted movie, many laugh points in the first half.
Huang Dabao (February 6, 2012): Beneath the luxurious commercial packaging, this movie conveys the elite values of this society. Unlike the grassroots nature of 'Love 33 Days', this movie is more akin to 'Intimate Enemies'. However, it improves upon the former by not always flaunting its high posture and elite status, sometimes lowering itself, like Sun Honglei's character being cute and cooking meals. Still falls short of qualification, 5 points.
