I Can Not Be As Happy As I Used To Be is a contemplative drama that delves into the life of Wang, a real estate agent caught in the web of long-distance love and familial expectations. The film's atmosphere is marked by a sense of longing and internal conflict. You see Wang juggling small misunderstandings with his roommates while grappling with romantic ideals shaped by his yearning for adventure—almost like a modern-day knight in a concrete jungle. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, yet it adds to the authenticity of his struggle. The performances feel genuine, capturing the nuances of disappointment and hope. It’s not flashy, but there's something about its rawness that lingers.
