Puppy Love (1985): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1985, Puppy Love is a comedy and romance film directed by So Jing-Man, running about 84 minutes.

What it’s about. Story is about a couple of girls named Ching (Lam San San) and An An (Pak Wan Yin) who have been rivals ever since they were little kids. The main gist of the story, besides trying to go one up on each other, deals with the girls’ hot pursuit of super jock, Paul (Chan Chun Kwok). Ching is the first one to gain Paul’s attention while An An is busy toying with geeky looking Michael’s (Dicky Cheung) love for her. Eventually, Paul gets tired of Ching and Michael wakes up and realizes that An An is playing him and to rub salt in their wounds, Paul decides that An An is the one for him! Next thing you, kiddy hijinks ensue as Michael and Ching feign suicide to make Paul and An An feel guilty, but when the latter believes that the suicide is for real, they too (half heartedly) decide to take their own lives. Michael and Ching must rush to save them from death, but during the whole near explosive melee, they come to the conclusion that they were made for each other.

Who’s in it. Puppy Love stars Sandy Lam San-San as Yung Ching, April Pak Wan-Yin as Ding An An, Chan Jun-Kwok as Paul and Chong Man-Ching as Teacher, among others.
