The Promise

Have any of you watched The Promise by Chen Kai Ge? The review was pretty good that I went to watch it yesterday. Moreover, Cecilia Cheung is the lead actress! I think she's really pretty and slim!

The story begins from a little girl who was granted a wish to have beauty, wealth and everything that the world has to offer, in exchange of love. She'd never be able to find someone who really loves her. Even if she did, they would never be together as the man will die. Her true love will never happen unless time turns backward, river runs uphill and the dead comes back to life. 20 years later, her beauty causes many men to draw sword against each other. However, she falls in love with a slave, who promises her to change her destiny by turning back the time.

The storyline is wonderful. It's telling us despite the realistic world and people, there are still rooms for fairytales and innocent believes. It's such a pity that the show was ended abruptly by the fast switching from climax to anti-climax. Extra few scenes in the ending would probably give the audience more lasting impression.

Overall rating was good though.
