They really did film all the heart-wrenching romance movies already, didn't they?

Definitely not clichéd. This was '91, and if it seems clichéd now, it's only because it's become a classic. These older films are constantly imitated, but never truly surpassed.

This movie is incredibly touching. The male protagonist initially just wanted to hire a nurse, but unexpectedly found love. I'm moved by the female lead's companionship and unwavering devotion to him, and by the male lead's love at first sight for her. His expectations are so simple – he just wants to live a normal life like everyone else! It truly resonates with the heart.

Why does this old-fashioned love story from 20 years ago still feel so genuine? So, I love it. Julia Roberts was stunningly beautiful in her younger days. The male lead bears a striking resemblance to the lead actor from "Prison Break," with captivating and gorgeous eyes. The saxophone music evokes a gentle sadness, yet still burns with hope.

Before Daenerys met you, this (movie) was totally her blueprint! The male lead's glasses are gorgeous, and the recommended paintings are lovely. Barely a 3-star rating from me.
