Despite the title (a.k.a God of Love). Trailer, theme song and synopsis trying to depict this as a romantic movie, IT IS NOT!

There is a parallel plotline about some demon from hell trying to seek revenge. This plotline plays out like a loud, horror movie with a lot of special effects and takes up HALF of the screen time.

Because of this jarring mix of genres, nothing is particularly believable, and many scenes and dialogues felt tacked on. When I got to the point of the movie where a character tries to have sex with an exhaust pipe of a motorcycle (yes it really did happen), I stop caring about how the rest of the story will unfold.

I felt cheated. This is my worst movie of 2021.

This film is like Taiwan version of Along with the Gods, but more simpler. I can see the visuals, and the editing is OK. I don't understand why the director included the joke during a touching scene, it totally ruined my emotions.

The story is terrible. The creativity does not compensate the bad storytelling. Ko cannot balance the storyline of the afterworld and the love story, it feels like there are so many to express but completely loses its focus. However, I can say the leads are great in this film.

The movie was advertised as fantasy romantic and I was getting confused after watching the trailer about what expecting. However the thematic afterlife and good review convinced me to watch it.

At the end I was bluffed, this movie has it all.

• Great romance (we got some tears off)
• Has a fantasy, spirits part
• Plot is wonderfully written, you feel sometimes a bit lost, which is what a plot should be. Make you impossible to guess the end. But you will get it all at the end.

• Actors play well
• On top of that, there is high level chinese philosophy even Buddhist/Indu behind the story about reincarnation, afterlife, life, karma, power of the heart and love, animals-human connection and power of metaphysics energies.
