Monty - Ji Jin Hee (池珍熙)



I Have watch this movie some time ago. So the story to me is a bit unclear...blurry but I still I do remember a bit.


Here is how the story goes. The story begins when Monty (Ji Jin Hee) a muse went to Shanghai with a mission, he wanted to taste of genuine human emotions and put himself out as a beacon for lost souls, drowning in the bitter sea of love.

Also arriving in the same time was Lin Jian Dong (Takeshi Kaneshiro), the star in a new musical drama directed by a reknowed director, Nie Wen(Jacky Cheung). On the other hand the co-star of Jian Dong was Sun Na( Zhou Xun) which so happens to be the ex-lover or old flame of Jian Dong and currently having a relationship with N
ie Wen who in turn made her a star.

In the musical drama that they are both acting is about a love triangle. An amnesiac women forgets about everything, even her lover and only to be saved from the streets by a generous circus owner. When she finally regains her memory she finds herself caught both in the present and the pass. Jian Dong and Sun Na was both in the leading role and Nie Wen acted as the circus
owner and also unaware being the 3rd party. Unfortunately Nie wen did not realise about his two stars past relationship. A decade ago Jian Dong was a film student studying at the Beijing Film Academy and Sun Na was a bar singer. He was a thrifty student and she was a songstress with a run down luck. Both having lonely hearts fell in live with each other. But all was destroyed when Sun Na desire for fame and wealth grew and the relationship was broken as she went for a man who can make her famous, Nie Wen.
