    This movie is full of surprise!

    I attend the New York Asian Film Festival last week. I truly amazed by the main actress Mo and actors Keung To and Jer Lau. The storyline is very simple but yet so meaningful. I also love the songs throughout the movie. I wish I can watch it again in the theater. Some of the scenes touches me so much and I cried few times.

    Unexpected Touching

    At first I only expected that it was a simple story about how Fong Ching (act by the Super idol in HK, Keung To) has become a superstar with the nurturing from Mei Fung (act by Teresa Mo). However, during the 120-min story, I am deeply touched by the short but impressed side story between Fong Ching and his father, the tensed but finally turned warmth relationship between Mei Fong and her son, as well as the resigned acceptance of choice from Mei Fung's son made by his parents.

    It's a film about love, acceptance and forgiveness that each person has to experience and learn to do that. Don't miss it. You can bring back a lot when you leave the cinema.

    Hong Kong films are getting better and better

    This story tells the story of a mother, her son, and another young man who go through their own personal struggles. The emotions are beautifully portrayed. The visuals are consistently good as well, with great camera work and lighting. There could be tighter editing, as some scenes seem to linger on for a bit too long. Overall, I think this film will touch heart strings. Hong Kong films are getting better and better!

    Must See

    Haven't go for a Hong Kong movie quite awhile...... what a surprise in this movie. A great story line touched everyone's heart. Love all the actor and actress, specially Teresa Mo, Keung To & Jer Lau. Thanks Director Kareen Pang giving me a chance to know those new talented actor and actress.

    Really want to see it again!

    A warm and touching movie worth to watch it with family

    The director Pang Picked the superstars as the main actors, but they really could perform the role as the director designed. The most impressed is Mei Fung express her thought to Fong Ching in the Kitchen. I can't hold my tear in this part.

    Each roles have been designed in details, each actors perform well in their feet!
