Zheng Xu has an eye for absurdity coupled with heartfelt sentiment that borders on sappy. Seeing this one gives a better sense of his filmmaking style as LiHK uses the same recipe as LiT, but given the expectation, he has to take it a little further. The finale is really absurd, and I'm still debating if that worked or not. Missing is Wang Baoqiang, who I've really grown to like, but he's replaced by Zhao Wei, so there you have it. It's an odd role for Zhao Wei, the sperm-hungry wife hoping to get pregnant. Did I mention the fertility stimulating acupuncture scene? That really stuck with me this morning (pun intended).
You know, Dm was in the same space as Zhao Wei once. It was at the Shaolin Festival. She performed in a huge stadium and dm sat in the audience with tens of thousands of others. But there was a connection between dm and Zhao Wei for sure. For sure.
I saw LiHK on Netflix (mind you, I never went back for the subbed version for Lost in Thailand).
