REVIEW: In My Heart is a tear-jerking romantic drama about aspiring musicians

Cast: Charles Tu, Zen, Daniel Chezi, Yuan Teng

Fast forward to Ah Le’s life at the university: he met his comical roommate Mr Car, portrayed by Malaysian singer Daniel Chezi, and fellow classmate in the Faculty of Music, Monster who is portrayed by Malaysian singer Zen. The three later formed a band to participate in the semester’s most important assignment — a music competition. As the relationship between Ah Le and Monster begins to blossom, the melancholic Ah Le, who is reluctant to join the competition, slowly opens up his heart.

On first impression, In My Heart feels like a musical instrument version of Pitch Perfect or Step Up. But the focus on music gradually shifted towards character development as the story progresses. Although it is entertaining to see people jamming, the character development which buffs up the plot is a more-than-welcome move.

In My Heart also comes with two original songs — the sorrowful theme song Missing You and the optimistic song What About Me. In the movie, Missing You is a song composed by Monster’s father, with the lyrics filled in by Ah Le. The last phrase in the lyrics of Missing You strikes particularly close the core of the movie: “No matter where you are, I love you.
