When they showed Tesera Teng and her songs in the end, I cried a bit. She was the reason I discovered this movie. I think her songs were also a great inspiration to this movie. Basically they even used the name of a Teresa Teng's song for the title: "甜蜜蜜" (Tian Mi Mi) and used some other songs throughout the movie. I'm pretty sure most of her fans would watch it.

I always love to see Hong Kong's life in the 80s and 90s, and it's interesting to view it in a story about Chinese people coming to Hong Kong for a better life during that era. Maggie Cheung and Leon Lai's perfomances were amazing, as expected. Even though I didn't really sympathize with the leads' romance, I'm glad they ended up with each other. Let cheaters be together. Xiao Ting deserved to be with a better man who loved and cherished her wholeheartedly.

My only issue with this movie is that: Why did this have to be a cheating love story? Why didn't they just let them be single lonely souls who found each other in a big city?

I guess AIDS was a big issue in the 1990s era. It was also mentioned in a few old Hong Kong films that I've watched. I remember it was also a big issue in the 2000s. People used to be so scared of it. Now I think the fear of it has lessened but we have new serious issues to fear of.
