Overseasidol.com — The fantasy romance film He Nian Ta Ri, internationally titled Measure in Love, emerges as one of the most talked-about Asian films of the year.
Produced by renowned filmmaker Sylvia Chang and directed by Gong Zhaoping, the film is written by Chang, Gong, and Li Baiqiao.
It stars Greg Hsu and Angela Yuen in leading roles, alongside an ensemble cast including Jack Tan, Stephen Tung, Chan Fai Hung, Doris Han, Thor Lok, Natalie Hsu, dan Yoyo Tse.
The film premiered on October 3, 2025, in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore, before its official mainland China release on December 31, 2025.
Upon release, Measure in Love quickly rose to the top of the Taiwanese box office, becoming the highest-grossing new film in its opening week.
As of October 12, 2025, the film had earned approximately NT$8.99 million in Taiwan.
Set in a world forever changed by a catastrophic earthquake, the story introduces a massive “gravity wall” that rises from the sea and divides the planet into two regions: the Short-Day Zone and the Long-Year Zone.
In these two areas, the flow of time and gravity operates in completely opposite ways. For those living in the Short-Day Zone, a day passes normally, while in the Long-Year Zone, a single day equals an entire year of life.
Anqing, a woman from the Short-Day Zone, crosses paths with Shuzi, a man from the Long-Year Zone, during a volunteer mission.
What begins as a chance encounter gradually turns into a profound romance that defies time itself. As Shuzi experiences years of growth between each meeting, Anqing is forced to confront her own uncertainty about a life that once seemed carefully planned.
Blending fantasy with emotional depth, Measure in Love tells a moving story about love challenged by time, fate, and difficult choices.
The film invites audiences to reflect on the courage it takes to pursue love and the sacrifices required when time becomes the greatest obstacle of all.
