“Right, well Hong Kong cinema is well known for its sappy romantic comedies, right up alongside with the hardcore action movies. And being a sucker for all things Asian and Hong Kong cinema in particular, of course I jumped at the chance when I was given it to sit down and watch u0026quot;Dan sun nam nuiu0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Donu0026#39;t Go Breaking My Heartu0026quot;).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eInitially I had not even heard about the movie prior to finding it by sheer, random luck. But seeing that it had both Louis Koo and Daniel Wu on the casting list, of course I was more than intrigued, because these are definitely among the more established of actors in the more recent cinema.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline and plot in u0026quot;Donu0026#39;t Go Breaking My Heartu0026quot; was fairly straight forward, even for a romantic comedy. But donu0026#39;t be scared off, because that doesnu0026#39;t mean that the movie wasnu0026#39;t entertaining. I happened to find the movie rather enjoyable and entertaining, to be honest.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am not overly familiar with Yuanyuan Gao, but I must admit that she really carried the movie quite well with her charming personality on the screen and her ability to bring lots of emotions and charisma to the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you enjoy Hong Kong cinema and have a taste for the romantic comedies, then you definitely should take the time to watch u0026quot;Donu0026#39;t Go Breaking My Heartu0026quot; if you have the chance.”
