The movie Dear You 《给阿嬷的情书》became such a massive hit not simply because it is about family love.
It touched something much deeper inside modern people:
We are becoming more successful,
yet we are forgetting how to truly love.
When audiences watched the grandmother in Dear You,
many were not thinking about the character on screen.
They were thinking about their own mother, grandmother, or someone who once quietly loved them without conditions.
Suddenly, people realize:
The person who used to wait for us to come home…
is growing old.
And the “someday” we always assumed we had…
may not always be there.
That is why the movie created such emotional resonance worldwide.
It is not really about the storyline.
It is about awakening the human heart.
And that is exactly what my book Love Intelligence is about.
Love Intelligence is not about romance.
It is about whether we still have the ability to truly feel.
Today many people have high IQ.
Some even have strong EQ.
But their LQ Love Intelligence is low.
What does that mean?
They know how to make money,
but not how to be present.
They know how to analyze,
but not how to understand.
They know how to speak,
but not how to make another human being feel loved.
The brilliance of Dear You is that it does not preach.
It simply reminds us:
The most important people in life
are often the ones we quietly take for granted.
This connects deeply with the 3Cs of Love Intelligence:
Care
Love is often not about grand gestures, but small acts of presence.
Courage
Many people do not lack love.
They lack the courage to express it.
Connection
True happiness is not about how much we own,
but who we are genuinely connected to.
Why are movies like Dear You becoming especially powerful in the AI era?
Because the world is becoming more efficient,
but less warm.
AI can write messages, generate videos, and simulate empathy.
But AI cannot truly replace sitting beside your grandmother for a meal.
In the future, the most valuable thing will not be technology alone.
It will be human warmth.
That is why the success of Dear You is more than a movie phenomenon.
It is a signal.
People are longing to return to the heart.
And that is also the mission of Love Intelligence:
To help people rediscover how to love, feel, and connect
in a world that is increasingly becoming machine-like.
Note: "Dear You" is not on Singapore screens yet (as of 27 May 2026)
