Reviews
This is a Masterpiece.
I promise. You won't regret watching this and even if you do, it's because you weren't able to watch this sooner.I like everything about this.. this is in leagues with "" You are the apple of my eye" which is also one of my greatest CMovies ever watched!
Such a lucky find among the dozens of work out there. This has all the quality that a great movie can be especially the music/vocal top it off with their great acting and also the synchronicity of the couple. It's such a shame that i am limited in my capability to express a much richer words and emotion.. That just shows how this movie tug my heart...
If there can ever be a chance i want to someday meet them and all the other artists that is on my bucketlist..
Cheers to this movie and it's everything!
(P.S. This is a raw review.)

If, like me, you hate all those crappy singing/talent competitions on TV, just don't!
I'm a big Johnnie To fan.Sadly, this is quite unlike anything he's ever made before: utter trash!
Some girl owes a loan shark a ton of money and an MMA fighter takes her under his wing, rather than pimping her out of selling her off to cover what she borrowed.
It sounds like an interesting drama only, the MMA fights are really bad, the male lead comes off as a chimp on a crack-energy drink high and, well, I just really hate all those singing shows!
Worse: there's utterly needless wire-fu - and I mean utterly useless: some girl spinning and floating in the air while playing a guitar in front of judges!
Honestly, pretty much everything about this rubbed me the wrong way and, having zero interest in a film about singing competitions when there's one literally on right now in another room(!), I couldn't motivate myself to even make it to the hour mark.
Definitely not recommended.
