What it’s about. In the vein of "Romeo And Juliet", Hong Kong style, the small ensemble cast and little-known director Michihko do a big league job with their rendition of "Romeo And Juliet" in "The Young Lovers". Although poor boy (Derek Erh Tung-Sheng) and rich girl (Yu An-An) are from opposite ends of the spectrum, their undying love refuses to let anyone get in their way, including their parents. Shakespeare would be moved.
Who’s in it. Young Lovers stars Derek Yee Tung-Sing as Chiu Jun Ming, Candice Yu as Fang Lan Jin, Ai Fei as Guo Hua Zhong and Lam Yi-Wa as Yili, among others.
