The Sweet Asian Story

An impossible love story between an American business man and a Chinese woman from Singapur, two different cultures, united by love.

Is the Pacific Ocean wide enough? When a woman falls in love of a foreign man, a "waigoren", Is there a reason for not to think about the consequences and go ahead following her heart's directions? When a man falls in love of a woman who lives thousand of miles away from his hometown, Is there a reason to give up everything for love? I watched this movie with my family and we loved it.

The story-line is superb, the plot and the script are beautiful, the cast is excellent, and it gives us a view of the great actors there are in Singapur, especially Fann Wong (starring).

Take a look at the wonderful character played by Maggie Q, who is American.

After watching this movie I have to give it 10/10 for two main reasons: Unexpected ending and extraordinary script.
