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.

One of my favorite movie. Both FL in the movies is sick but hiding it from ML until he find out by himself. In Taiyou no Uta FL can't live under the sun coz she got sickness which not many people know about it. She keep it a secret from ML. It's a cute & sad love story between ML & FL. A must watch movie & never getting bored watching it again. Also there's a drama with the same title.
