An evocative story that follows three orphaned youths who stumble upon a letter slipped under the door as they hide out in a food store. They write a response thus beginning a correspondence with people from 30 years ago. From a terminally-ill boyfriend, a girl caught between love and passion, an aspiring musician and a student who'd rather quit school and run from home as he deals with his troubles, the movie focuses on simple stories of different individuals who hope for a miracle. They send letters to a nondescript store that was run by Namiya, an elderly man who offered wisdom and heartfelt advice to those who'd listen. (Source: ChineseDrama.info) Edit Translation

jackie chan movie without action
I think this is the first time I've watched jackie chan without action or funny scene in his movie. This is very deep movie about everyone in their life intersection.Really like what jackie said in this movie, everyone who wrote to him is already have map, we just don't know where we stand in that map. Every one who write to him just need a push to make the block in their heart disappear.
Although sometimes I don't really like the back and forth timeline like in here, but everything is difference in their own timeline to differentiate it not difficult.
This one movie that give me goosebumps after watching this. If they decided to make drama out of this I definitely watch that drama. Definitely watch the Japanese version to compare both of them :D

Surprised to see Jackie Chan!
Some of the acting at the beginning was very over the top, but then it got better. Watch it in a dark room, because a lot of it is very darkly filmed and it's hard to see what's going on.This is a fantasy about a store and its mysterious owner who sends and receives letters through a time portal. Three youths happen upon the store and take up the mantle of writing letters. It shows us views of the past and the present, and how our lives intersect, even when we aren't aware of it happening.
