Even though he was impulsive, he was heroic on most events, and brought together this message and lesson to the movie: He had gotten himself in trouble many times for Ya Wang. You'll see how much Xia Mu has grown and how he became a stronger person throughout the movie. Rather, he will progress and develop as a character through action. I just wish Xia Mu would have more dialogues, but I understand he's a stoic and emotionless character from the start so he wouldn't speak much. The cinematography and the amazing music went well with all the scenes. (on unrequited love)Įnding: Hopeful (That's a hint that it ended well.) If you watch it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Near halfway: Heartbreaking. I like this movie because there’s plot twists and you get connected to the characters. While he ends up turning himself in for a crime he committed in Yawang’s name, Yawang realizes she loves him too, gives him his birthday present a week before his sixteenth birthday, and says that she will wait for him. While she gets a new job and her boss (Joo Won) is kind of a creep, Xiamu comes through and saves her every time.

Yawang, on the other hand, has been dating Xiaotian (Han Geng) and doesn’t feel the same. As Xiaomu grows into a young man, he develops feelings for Yawang and will do anything for her.

Xiaomu (Kris Wu) is an orphaned boy who has witnessed his parents’ death and is taken in by Yawang’s (Shan Lu) family. Actors Kris Wu, Shan Lu, Han Geng, and Joo Won make the perfect pair playing the roles of Xiaomu, Yawang, Xiaotian, and Qu Weiran. In a short summary, “Sweet Sixteen” is a well thought-out coming-of-age film. Jo Jin-kyu has directed other movies such as the “My Wife is a Gangster” series, “Who’s Got the Tape?,” and “Man On Edge.” “Sweet Sixteen” is a 2016 Chinese-South Korean drama directed by South Korean film director Jo Jin-kyu and starring Kris Wu, a former member of EXO, as Xiamu. Do you like dramatic romance movies? Or movies that have twists and turns? This movie is perfect for you then.
