Hooked on You (Hong Kong, 2007), Running Time: 97 Minutes
Hong Kong actress and pop star Miriam Yeung stars as Miu, an eligible bachelorette who reluctantly takes a job as a fishmonger to pay off her father’s debts. But her stinky job gets stinkier when a brutish rival fisherman (Eason Chan) enters the scene. Before long, Miu finds herself reeled in by the man’s antics. Shui-Fan Fung and Huang Bo also star in this charming romantic comedy set on the beautiful waterfront of Hong Kong.
