Once in a Life-Time is a quirky blend of comedy and romance that explores the complexities of unrequited love. Sean Lau, played with a charm that feels genuine, is the classic 'nice guy' smitten with Vivian Chan since childhood. The whole paper marriage idea brings this light-hearted yet slightly chaotic tension—Vivian's naturalist boyfriend does add an unexpected layer of conflict, with his obsession for cockroaches providing some odd humor. The pacing flows nicely, mixing sweet moments with comedic mishaps, all set against a backdrop that feels surprisingly intimate. It’s not the typical rom-com; there's an endearing awkwardness that seeps through the performances, giving it a unique flavor in an era of formulaic love stories.
