Summary: a great supernatural HK thriller/comedy/love story
Comment: This film is about a man called Lao K ( Chow Yun Fat ) who falls in love with a gorgeous ghost called Wei Hsiao-Tieh ( Cherie Chung ). He is currently in an unstable relationship with crazy man eater May ( Pauline Wong ).
He finds a letter inside an old desk that he purchases, from a random woman called Hsiao-Tieh explaining how her sad life has been in the past, and that her fortune teller tells her that when she dies, she is to marry an ugly and evil man in the spirit world. She dies at the young age of 20. The marriage gets
arranged for the two dead people by their families. She fears this greatly and the only thing she can think of to escape being
doomed forever with this man is to find a man born in the same
yang day, month and year as her, and wiling to do a ritual that will take 3 years off his life span. Luckily for Hsiao-Tieh, Lao K matches these requirements and does the ritual without hesitation, reincarnating her instantly.
Hsiao-Tieh escapes her horrible husband and is reincarnated on earth once again, where she comes to find the man who saved her.
Lao K rescues a young woman from drowning in a waterfront and she is none other than Hsiao-Tieh. They fall in love with each other and have a romantic time together.
Lao K and 6'3 ( his deaf mute friend ) get into trouble with a triad gang, Hsiao-Tieh comes to rescue them - this is where Cherie Chung shows off her superb acrobatic fighting skills in beautiful style.
Later on, Lao's cheating ex partner May comes back pleading for help because her new lover is leaving her, but Lao K is no longer
interested. This infuriates her so she comes up with an evil plot to kill them. This ultimately leads to a classic supernatural showdown between May and Hsiao-Tieh, who has a plan to rid of May... by getting her evil husband to destroy her and save Lao K... but the price she must pay for that is to go back to the spirit world with her husband forever.....
Chow Yun Fat is playing a much different role in Spiritual Love than in most of his other films. Still, he doesnt let up as he fits in this role nicely and shows great acting talent. In my opinion, Cherie Chung is the most gorgeous girl ever in this film, and not only does she have angelic glowing looks, she also does a great job acting in her role as the ghost lover of Lao K.
This is a touching film with a few nice touches of comedy thrown in. The ending is extremely sad though, but it puts the relationship of man/ghost in its place and makes sense, although myself and alot of you who watch this film just wish that it didnt have to end like that.
If you want a truly classic HK supernatural ghost thriller/romance film, then check this beauty out NOW.

Summary: A charming HK supernatural thriller/comedy
Comment: Chow Yun Fat plays Lao K, a small time triad type who earns his livingas a collection man for a loan shark. His cousin, Chin Hua (played by Deannie Yip), an aspiring "ghostbuster", pines after him, using her divination skills to chart her cousin's romantic future, hoping to see her name revealed. Lao K is oblivious to her infatuation, caught up with his collection activities and the romantic charms of May (Pauline Wong), a self involved maneater who treats him badly, and soon forsakes him for a richer, more successful man.One day, while trying to collect a debt for his boss in the company ofhis constant companion, 6'3" (a deaf mute fellow criminal whom Lao K has "adopted") Lao K is captivated by an antique Chinese desk. Buying it and taking to the home he shares with his cousin, he discovers a letter in a drawer that tells the sad story of a young woman, sick from birth, who posthumously was wed to an "ugly ghost" by her family. The young woman has not been reincarnated and has little hope of ever being, until she can find a man born on a yang day,in a yang month, in a yang year willing to give up 3 years of his mortal life to help her escape from her fearsome ghost-husband and win her achance at reincarnation.
Lao K, the petty criminal with a heart of gold, and told by a physiogamist that he will live to 98, decides he can spare a few years to help the girl out. He performs the ritual she details in her letter, and then promptly forgets about the whole matter.
He is walking on the waterfront when he spies a young woman in a boat. Escaped from the underworld, Wei Hsaio-Tieh (Cherie Chung), has come to search out her benefactor.
Hsiao-Tieh enters and reenters Lao K.'s life over the course of the next few days, finally coming to stay with him after he stumbles home ill after an argument with May.
Complications ensue--leading to an exorcism, a ghostly rescue and a further ritual that grants Hsio-Tieh 49 days on earth with her beloved. Ex-girlfriend May reenters the picture, which ultimately leads to a climactic and cataclysmic supernatural showdown.
The always versatile Chow Yun Fat is endearingly roguish as the
basically decent Lao K.. Cherie Chung displays her wonderful range as an actress, effortlessly moving from broad comedy to affecting pathos as the ill-starred Hsiao-tieh. The supporting players, especially Deannie Yip as the long suffering cousin, are universally excellent.
While Hong Kong supernatural comedies are an acquired taste, this film stands on its own, and carries appeal on several fronts, not the least of which is the incredible chemistry between its two leads.
