I would say this is a chick-flick but it really isn't. I would say this is your usual love triangle movie, which was what I was thinking about 30 minutes in. BUT it really wasn't. The plot line twisted into something that was completely creative, and did it so naturally that it was a surprise.

The director is to be hugely credited, not just for his brilliant casting, but for everything else about this movie. The screenplay was fantastic.

The real show was the two lead actresses. Their acting, their character, and their chemistry is at a level I haven't seen in a Western movie since I don't know when.

In fact, they were both given the Golden Horse awards - that's the equivalent of the Academy handing out 2 Oscars for Best Actress for the same film. Unheard of, right? But it makes perfect sense here!

Well done, ladies! Well.Done.

Soulmate (2016) is a heartfelt Chinese drama that explores how friendship, love, and misunderstandings can reshape even the strongest bond between two best friends. Supported by outstanding performances, an emotional nonlinear narrative, and a memorable ending, the film delivers a deeply moving experience despite its complex relationship dynamics. It is a gentle recommendation for viewers who enjoy character-driven dramas that leave a lasting emotional impact.
