| Elixir Of Love (花好月圓) - Part 8 Starring: Miriam Yeung, Richie Ren, Kenny Bee, Eric Kot, Lam Suet Genres: Comedy Year 2004 HK Movies Cantonese Version Miriam Yeung is the Princess of China, the first female in a long line of royal male offspring, thus making her a precious commidity. However, she stinks. Cursed with something called SARS (Severe Atypical Reeking Syndrome), the Princess' BO is enough to send any and all suitors running or to a self-imposed early demise, despite the fact that she's sweet, charming, and looks like Miriam Yeung. At a loss for solutions, the Emperor offers up a contest: to have doctors, mystics and/or assorted quacks show up in an attempt to cure the Princess of her smelliness, the prize for their efforts being the Princess' actual hand in marriage and presumed favored status in the capital. Not surprisingly, many apply. However, the contest comes down to two possible suitors: a cultured, snobby, RHA (Royal Hospital Authority) approved doctor (Liu Heng), and poor, too-cute aromatherapy expert Kai (Richie Ren). The other doctor has the head royal physician (Kenny Bee) in his corner, and the two conspire to let their success forward the cause of cultured, snobby doctors everywhere. However, neither is as talented or earnest as Kai, whose love of plants and single-minded aromatherapy expertise is all geared to do just one thing: fulfill his lifelong deam of marrying a princess. |
