A summer hit in HK, this romantic fantasy from Jingle Ma is shamelessly manipulative, incredibly cheesy, and totally sappy. It goes to extreme lengths to yank your chains and push your buttons...and it works. Amazingly, this manufactured piece of sap is also an entertaining, compelling movie. An HK version of Ghost and Always, Fly Me to Polaris stars Richie Ren as Onion, a blind-mute who’s in love with his nurse Autumn (Cecilia Cheung). Before any feelings can be exchanged, he dies in a Meet Joe Black kinda way and proceeds to win a celestial contest. This flimsy plot device states he can have one wish - which he uses to live again. They deny him that, but give him the opportunity to return for one week.

A love story about a woman who falls in love with a man suffering from a split personality disorder, and the troubles she goes through because of this love. Aizawa Saki, who works for a trading company, was having an affair with her department chief, Okada, but decided she wanted to put an end to the relationship. On her way home after telling Okada it is over, Saki is surrounded by a gang of young boys. Luckily, Takagawa Ryo, a man with a piercing glance who happened to be there, rescues her, then steals some money from her wallet and walks away. The next day, a new employee, Mizuno Takumi, reminds her of him. Saki thinks that it can’t be the same man.
Both of these love stories revolve around protagonists going through time in different directions (i.e. one person moving forward, another moving back - resulting in one's first day together being the other's last day). They're both highly emotional stories as a result of this seemingly ill-fated love.
