When I sat down to watch the 2022 Hong Kong romantic comedy "Faan Hei Gong Sum" (aka "Table For Six") here in 2023, I had never actually heard about it. But stumbling upon it by random chance, and seeing it was a Hong Kong movie that I hadn't already seen, then I needed no further persuasion.
Writer and director Sunny Chan put together a script and storyline for the movie that definitely proved to be entertaining and enjoyable for me. However, it should be noted that I doubt that it is a movie that will find a wider appeal with the general audience, as the storyline is somewhat of an acquired taste. Nonetheless, I was entertained by the story and the characters that Sunny Chan had concocted for this movie.
And it really helped to bring the movie to life that it was a group of talented actors and actresses that starred in the movie. Of the entire cast, then I was only familiar with Chi-Wah Wong and Ivana Wong.
"Faan Hei Gong Sum" is more of a family drama that is laced with some light comedy and some romantic elements. The storyline was centered around three brothers and also their respective romantic affairs. It is a movie that is driven not only by a good script and story, but most certainly also driven by a selection of well-written and interesting characters.
If you enjoy Hong Kong cinema then give writer and director Sunny Chan's 2022 movie "Faan Hei Gong Sum" a chance. I found it to be enjoyable and an interesting and fresh approach to the romantic comedy genre.
My rating of "Faan Hei Gong Sum" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
