Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
Burdened by wooden acting and a fragmented storyline, this romantic comedy set against the posh environment of an upper-class Hong Kong elite is about the love that blossoms between a bumbling young man (Leslie Chung) and an attractive woman he meets on the subway (Maggie Cheung). Both would-be lovers are pursued by others; an heiress chases after the likeable klutz, and his subway lady-love has an ex-boyfriend who wants her back again. This Hong Kong fare seems particularly made for the local population.
