    It's OK. It's kind of like 'In the Mood for Love', though not quite. It's definitely not the same but somehow, it gives me about the same feeling.... the story, I mean.

    It's quite romantic, except I'm not a big fan of Shu Qi.... so.... it didn't really go that well on me.

    To tell you peeps the truth, I was more interested in the relationship between Leon's son and Shu Qi's daughter.

    That was when I first saw Daniel Wu onscreen!

    I honestly thot this was a very poignant and sad movie..I felt the pain the characters went thru....a movie that evoked a lot of hidden emotions in me.
    but u must be in the right mood to enjoy its goodess.

    As for me, I thought it was just okay, but then, I was only 15-16 when I saw it. But then, I've never been a fan of overdramatic romance where they have the leads pining for each other for almost the entire movie, looking sad and stuff then have loud dramatic music blaring when they meet each other again, reunited again blah blah.

    That's why I said I liked Daniel Wu and the girl's storyline more. Subtle and understated.
