6/10
A somewhat low-key and sappy ghost romantic-comedy.
OllieSuave-00713 March 2017
This is a somewhat low-key ghost romantic-comedy from Hong Kong, starring Kenny Bee and Cecilia Yip as newly weds Li Hsi and Liu Ah-Yu who died in a car wreck shortly after their wedding. Afterward, Li His was able to resurrect in another man's body (which for some reason looks exactly like him), but Liu Ah-Yu is a wandering ghost trying to find a substitute body.

This movie has its exciting moments, particularly with the ghost elements and the sorceress out to capture the ghosts. But, the subplot about the romantic relationship between Li Hsi and his mistress, Julia (Julia Nickson), was little too much on the sappy side and took on a large part of the plot.

It's still a rather unique movie - little low key on the action and suspense, though.

Grade C+
