    Was good but could have been better.
    The concept of the story is pretty straight where two schoolgirls falling in love with the same person, but though they become good friends he Prefers one over the other.

    Then the story continiues in the future, leaving behind the school days in distant past. Now, story takes different turns where the three leads go different paths, eventually meeting once again by chance and they become reminiscent about the past and their lost love.

    The Boy has become an Journalist, Maggie cheung's character an fashion designer, Cherie Chung's character has married an older businessman and is now in the stock market business(the one that somewhat killed her father in this film of stress).

    Now, lost love arises again among the two leads whereas Maggie cheung's character still is looking for her perfect partner(which she somewhat finds in his co-worker). THEN the picture continues to explore these characters struggle trying to find a good conclusion.

    It was good, the performance by the leads was also good, just the story somewhat was not too engaging or was sometimes repetitive and was not able to provide for a better picture.

    It has kind of the Same Concept of Taiwanese legend Edward Yang's That Day, On the Beach (1983) of two childhood friends discussing about their lives after meeting each other later in their lifes. But this film was not able to produce Yang's Magic and falls short of Expectations set during the first half.

    Should be rated between 6/7, has good camerawork and pleasent soundtrack and also Hong Kong Cinema's Best actors in their early years, so it might be really pleasent experience for a fan trying to go through their early filmography.
