Hello to all movie lovers out there. Today’s blog post will be a movie review on a Chinese film titled 热辣滚烫/YOLO. It was first screened in the year of 2024, with a duration of 2 hours and 9 minutes. It belongs to the category of drama and comedy. Read on to know more about this inspiring film. 🙂

The movie begins with how the main character named Du Le Ying (played by Jia Ling) loves staying at home to nerd around. Ying doesn’t have a job and survives through her parents’ subsidies. Ying’s elder sister named Dan despised Ying yet she wanted Ying’s house for herself. Ying gave it to Dan without fighting for her own rights. Yet Dan was unsatisfied and kept picking on Ying which resulted in the sisters having a fight. Ying left home in a fit and found a new job as a waitress. Ying spotted a charming boxing instructor named Kun Hao (played by Lei Jia Yin) and felt attracted to him. After multiple meetings, Ying decided to join membership at Hao’s boxing centre. 🙂

Ying was disappointed in Hao when he purposely lost a competition in exchange for a huge sum of money. Hao left the centre after the competition while Ying continued her training. She wanted to enter a competition and win the fight herself. Ying trained for a year before she successfully lost enough weight and gained entry into the next upcoming competition. Even though Ying lost the competition in the end, she won the applause for her bravery to fight once for herself. Hao saw the competition and tried to reconnect with Ying who brushes him off. I love how the ending comes off as Ying felt much more confident with her new found perspective in life. 🙂

I will give this amazing film a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. It was a must watch for everyone because YOLO. We definitely must fight for ourselves against those that tell us otherwise. Fight for your stand and whatever good that you believe in. For those of you who would like to watch the full film, go google for the titled 热辣滚烫/YOLO. Hope you all enjoy reading my movie review.
