Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was one of the last major Hong Kong films to feature Andy Lau in a purely romantic lead before he pivoted to prestige dramas.
The 'family curse' trope here draws from Chinese folklore about doomed love lines, but the film treats it with the lightness of a sitcom rather than tragic weight.
