[edit] Plot
Well-to-do medical intern Tetsuya (Yosuke Kubozuka) and orphaned mystic and painter Don (Edison Chen) have been infatuated with Emi (Meisa Kuroki) since childhood. After Emi's father dies in a fire, Don is jailed, but escapes seven years later when he learns Tetsuya and Emi are to marry. On the lam, Don finds trouble, but leaves a trail of goodwill; meanwhile, squeaky-clean Tetsuya harbors a sinister, if easily guessed, secret. Helming is clean and lensing crisp, but the film has a TV feel. Performances are good enough, but the naturalism of Hong Kong-based, Canadian-born thesp Edison Chen is at odds with his Nipponese co-stars.
