About Temptation of an Angel
TV commercial director Fei (Michael Chow Man-kin) is mourning the death of girlfriend Angel Chen (Yuk), and through flashbacks induced by his reading of her diary, we see how their relationship developed and, eventually, faltered when she met handsome gym instructor Roy (Ngai). Angel loves both men and her inability to break off with one or both of them leads to tragedy.
Directed by Joseph Chi Chiong Chavez, Temptation of an Angel leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Chow Man-Kin, Yu Fang, Collin Chou — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1999.
