The Romantic Fool (那個傻瓜愛過你) is a 2007 Hong Kong movie. It stars Cathy Tsui and Jia Jong Chiu (Gu Zong Chao) as lovers from two different worlds.
The movie is really slow paced and I fast forwarded about 30% of the movie. I had it on initially while I was washing dishes, so most of the fast forwarding happened during the second half of the movie.
The movie is about Tsai (I am translating his nickname from Chinese) and Suman. Tsai falls secretly in love with a new student in his class named Suman. Tsai is shy and doesn't know how to approach Suman. And tries all sorts of things to be in her world. But all things fail when he tries, because he's got no game. Tsai befriends Mike, a campus tough guy and playa. Tsai and Mike become good friends. Mike starts dating Suman, but Tsai doesn't know this. Devasted, Tsai avoids Mike to avoid Suman. But Mike is persistent and they start hanging out. Tsai learns to accept Mike and Suman's relationship. But Mike's a playa and leaves the country to avoid Suman. Smooth. Suman and Mike end out hanging out a lot after Mike leaves. Suman evetually sees Tsai's love for her and accepts it. BUT, Tsai comes from a poor family and Suman from a Rich family. You can guess the rest of the story right?!
Sad story and sad ending. Slow paced and ultimately a letdown.
