All About Love (Hong Kong, 2005)
For the first time Andy Lau plays two leading roles in one single film, in which he will tell an extraordinary love story about heart transplant with Charlene Choi and Charlie Young. Andy Lau plays a husband who only learns the importance of expressing his tremendous love for his wife when it is too late. With such an underlying message, All About Love distinguishes itself from mere melodramatic tearjerkers by leaving a profound aftertaste. Guest-starring Anthony Wong Chau Sang as a heart surgeon and veterans Hui Siu-Hung and Gigi Wong as Charlene Choi’s parents, All About Love has made over HK$ 19 million to become one of the top-grossing movies in Hong Kong!

All About Love is the first film invested by and starring Andy Lau after he set up the company Focus Film. He plays a workaholic medical practitioner Dr. Ko who neglects his wife (Charlene Choi) in spite of his love for her. After she dies in a car accident, he switches his job to that of an ambulanceman and sticks to a routine schedule, as a special means to remember his deceased wife. In an operation, Ko saves a woman Sam (Charlie Young) who happened to have a heart transplant – and he soon discovers that she actually bears his wife’s heart! Co-incidentally, Sam’s husband Derek, who has also deserted her, looks identical to Ko. So Ko decides to take up Derek’s place to accompany his wife’s heart for he has not been with her enough when she was alive.
