Now you have to stick with this because the start is not very enticing. We see the usual pretty boy, floppy-haired, HK lad "Lok" (Chun-Him Lau) meet and fall in love with the rather preppy "Yan Yan" (Cecelia Choi) who lives with her abusive father in an apartment upstairs. The writing looks set on the wall for a rather procedural romance until we discover that "Lok" - an outgoing man who coaches sport to young kids - is a recovering schizophrenic and that not everything in his world is neccessarily real. He is an honest lad at heart, and when he decides it is only fair to alert his gal to his illness, he suffers from a relapse that pits his love for "Yan Yan" against his growing affection for a psychiatry student "Yip" who is trying to use his case to finalise her qualifications. We are slowly drawn into his world of fantasy and confusion; affection and disaffection and I have to say that I was impressed with the strength and subtlety of Chun-Him Lau's really quite intense and plausible performance. I'm no clinician, so cannot comment on the authenticity of the portrayal here from any medical perspective, but this young actor does engage - and that keeps this all but two hour exploration of this flawed human psyche interesting. Sure, it drifts into melodrama a little now and again and the style of direction actually gives away a little more of the story (especially at the beginning) that I would have preferred to have garnered from the storyline, but this is a great deal more substantial than I was expecting and I rather enjoyed it.
