WARNING: May contain spoilers.

I just watched this movie, starring Andy Lau, Charlene Choi and Charlie Young. I was presently surprised to find that Anthony Wong guest stars in it as well. It's quite a touching story, though there's 1 flaw in the story line. It's about a heart transplant patient who got the memory of her donor as well. As we all knows, the memory is not stored in the heart, but in the brain. Anyway, I enjoyed watching it.

It's abt Ko (Andy Lau) who is a promising young surgeon. He was always saving people and as a result, neglected his pretty wife, starred by Charlene. She is a sweet lady and loves Ko very deeply. Even though he's always busy, she always wait for him to come home.

One day, on the when he's finally able to meet her for dinner but cancelled at the last minute, she got involved in an accident and died. Ko has always felt remorseful about it and wished that he had paid more attention to her. He quit his surgeon job and become a paramedic with his father in law.

6 yrs after his wife died, Ko rescued Sam, played by Charlie, from a car accident. He felt an affinity to her and instantly concluded that she must be the receiver of his wife's heart.

He discovered that Sam's body is starting to reject the heart and is dieing soon. Her health condition causes her to feel insecure about her husband, Derek. And when she knows she is dieing, she chases Derek out of the house. Derek, not knowing the truth, went to Japan with a client likes him, and is an object of Sam's jealousy.

Knowing that she misses Derek greatly, Ko decided to spend more time with Sam to make her last days happier. Incidentally, Derek looks just like him, which makes it easier for him to masquerade as him.

During the time spent with Sam, he managed to reunite Sam and Derek, and also find deliverance for his guilt on neglecting his wife.

Touching story this is. And I think good directing and acting too. Makes this movie worth the cinema ticket.
