Movie Synopsis
Famous from an incredibly young age, Du Ming-Han (Wang Lee Hom) has only ever known a celebrity pop star existence. Yet, despite all the glamour, there is still something lacking in his charmed life - true love. With the help of fellow musician and friend Wei Zhi-Bo, Ming-Han disguised himself as a regular Joe in the hope of finding true love. While incognito, both of them stumble across the performance of a classical Chinese orchestra. Ming-Han is immediately captivated by the melodies of the guzheng soloist, Song Xiao Qing (Crystal Liu Yi-Fei), a student at the Shanghai Conservatory, whose affections lie with the accomplished but arrogant virtuoso, Mu Fan. In his attempt to spend more time with Xiao Qing, Ming-Han promises to help her get together with Mu Fan. As Ming-han and Xiao Qing grow closer, it becomes increasingly difficult to conceal his identity.

Movie Review
Honestly, I think this is a nice movie. Though as other critics might have mentioned that the front is boring or that the plot is cliche, but I think overall this movie deserves its accolades for showing how Lee Hom's life is like behind all the glory and glamour. In fact I think that this is what the life is like for most celebrities.

The storyline is touching and I think if you like Lee Hom (like me) or if you like his music, you should watch the movie. The music inside is also pretty captivating, which I feel Lee Hom himself had put in alot of effort in making. Go catch it this summer!
