Fish Pond

About This Movie

Fish Pond is a rather intriguing exploration of modern romance, if you ask me. The film dives into the psyche of Hsu-hao, a university student grappling with the complexities of love. The whole concept of the 'fish pond theory'—sampling various relationships before settling—feels relatable, yet it’s presented with this almost melancholic tone. The pacing is a bit slow, but it mirrors Hsu-hao's internal struggle nicely. I found the performances to be genuine, especially the dynamic with Koi, who adds this layer of warmth amidst the digital dating chaos. It has a subtle atmosphere that blends well with the themes of choice and connection, which is quite distinctive for a TV movie. Definitely a piece that invites discussion among collectors.
