A romantic comedy that is as interesting for its glimpse into contemporary urban China as it is for the charisma of its leads.
Andy Webster, New York Times

Unlikely to resonate with Western audiences, who have more than enough sentimental English-language romantic comedies to keep themselves occupied.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post

A refreshingly authentic romantic comedy about the tradeoffs people must make in their relationships, careers and lifestyles.

Modern love shifts from Hong Kong to Beijing in the successful sequel to Love in a Puff, a natural, light and convincing rom com very similar to the original Hong Kong hit.
