Meu Querido Coração (2022)

Wait....what?

OK, so. I'm not a rocket surgeon or anything but I'm pretty intelligent, and I had to watch it twice to figure out that no, I didn't miss anything. Let me assist so you don't have to waste time figuring it out (maybe this is a spoiler, but trust me, it will help you) : it was three separate stories with the ML and FL playing each character, and the three stories smashed together.. Oops, that's not right -- within one of those stories there is a time travel element (oops, spoiler), with two sets of ML and FL -- played by the same characters. So, in all four sets of FL and ML, and they all look identical. Look for a change in hair styles and dress to tell which characters you're looking at.

Storyline? Pay a kid down the street to make up a story. it will be better than this convoluted mess. The story just sucks. The ML tells these two stories to the FL. I am reminded maybe of tales of the Arabian Nights (where a virgin bride tells the king a story every night and successfully distracts him from executing her the next day after the wedding. Sounds awesome, right? Go read that. Cuz this isn't anything like that.) At first, I thought the point of the first stories was linked with the main couple. Maybe a reason for his curse and his dying everyday at 2pm or his bracelet? Maybe the stories are his earlier lives? Reincarnation? But no? I think it's not related at all? Or maybe it is. Maybe the talking cats know. (No, I'm not joking.) But they aren't telling. If you figure it out, PLEASE let me know!

Cute FL? check. as always. I've begrudgingly come to adore the actress playing the FL
because she's in three Luo Zheng movies. She grew on me. I know she does C-movies (as opposed to B and A, not C meaning "Chinese"), but this low budget mess is more of a D movie. she's adorable, and acted her part well, as she always does.

ML? Meh. Considering what the actor had to work with I will make no judgments on him.

Romance? Hmmm. let me think. They hug at the end. If you're looking for romance, skip it.

Fantasy? Fantasy buffs should run from this story.

Disclaimer: This isn't the worst story I've ever seen. Taken separately, the short stories that he tells are kind of sweet, but the main one -- with the curses, cats, glowy-wrist things, is all pretty dumb. In comparison with the reviews that I gave "1s" to -- that I detested with every fiber of my being -- this one isn't offensive or horrifying.... so that's something. It's just not good.
