After being happy with portrayal of Eric Tsang, the amiable Sam on Infernal affairs trilogy, here he is again, playing the role of Jumboball, the friend of the protagonist, Onion (Richie Ren). A love story (yes, a love story believe it or not) between a blind and mute patient (Onion) and of Miss Autumn (Cecilia Cheung), a nurse. Both are in love with each other but even before they get to have the chance to have them known, Onion dies in an accident.The story goes on with Onion having a chance of 5 days stay on earth so he'd be able to see her once again.
In his given days, he gets to meet probably the two most important people back when he was alive, Jumboball who used to make him salty lemon seven while he (Onion) gives him a massage. Later on, this is the last indicator that he (Jumboball) gets to know that right before in his eyes is Onion only not who he used to 'see'. And obviously he meets Autumn (who dare I say looked like a cuter version of Kim Chiu) who only got the idea that this guy (Onion/Cheuk) who is constantly bugging him is actually Onion but as part of the deal, would not be able to tell anyone who he really is.
My annoyance to Dr. Woo aside, (who thankfully became an instrument for Autumn to find it all out) I loved the entire thing. I haven't enjoyed a love story (not that I've watched anything hardcore lately) for such a long time but this is just simply brilliant story wise. Even the actors are effective in their acting I think I almost shed a tear there. And yes. I do recommend it. Even if you're not a fan of the genre that is.
