Pygmalion Plot, 20 July 2003
Author: Estee Wong



This is another Hong Kong version of the timeless Pygmalion (like My Fair Lady) plot.

When village lass Ning (Vicki Zhao) is reunited with her wealthy long-lost father (Richard Ng), the old man seeks an 'image designer' to polish up her rough edges. Enter Joe Lam (Ekin Cheng), a jobless conman who has no idea about style or fashion. Need I have to say more that she would eventually falls for him?

The plot, however, could do with some screen chemistry between Ekin and Vicki. Likewise the whole movie is pretty lame and I just wonder why Ekin would want to waste his time and effort doing this 'turkey'. Well all I could say is hopefully Ekin's upcoming "blockbuster", Heroic Duo co-starring with Leon Lai would make up for all the disappointment I had in this poor effort.

Finally just want to mention that Ekin is no longer the Chan Ho-Nam that we used to adore.
