Like Stephen Fung's B-movie Shadow, this production attempts to marry the conventions of teenage romance films with the classic HK ghost story. However, given the casting of teen idol Nic Tse and newcomer Karena Lam, it's pretty clear that the emphasis is very heavily on the teen romance side of things, with very little thought or screen time given to the ghost angle. So there are no taoist spells, no floating females etc. In fact, were it not for a brief sequence set in the underworld, the ghost angle would almost be completely absent here save for its sole narrative function, which is to add a degree of high melodrama to the doomed romance between the two leads.

Nic plays a deaf postal worker who runs into a young dancer played by Karena Lam on the MTR somewhere around Jordan station. They exchange glances, there's chemistry, and then they keep bumping into each other. We all know what this means: they're meant for each other. Except that fate sometimes is ironic, and in this case poor Karena gets killed in a traffic accident before love can truly bloom. The movie almost glosses over this rather crucial story element, and if you don't pay close attention you'll miss it.

Once Karena is dead, she begins to hang out with Nic, ostensably because she doesn't want to leave until her dance troupe has competed in a scheduled dance competition seven days later. This whole angle is pretty weak and doesn't provide very strong motivations, although it does give opportunity for both Nic and supporting actor Candy Lo to pretend they know how to dance. Anyway, Nic and Karena roam around HK, some love ballads are sung, love blooms after all, and I was wishing they would have cut a good twenty minutes out of the movie which was beginning to seriously drag. Things pick up a bit when the underworld police arrest Karena and drag her back to where she belongs - Nic does the manly thing and follows her, and it turns out the underworld looks very much like an 18th century French castle. Still, given the limited budget, the filmmakers manage to carry this of fairly well, and then we move towards the inevitable bittersweet happy end.

Eason Chan does his usual clown routine as Nic's friend, there's some more kitschy dancing, and some people eat some Tiramisu.

Recommended only if you need your daily fill of Nic Tse while he's gone in jail (if that's where he ends up) or if you were planning to make some Tiramisu but don't have a recipe handy.
