| Overview: | "Healing Hearts" is a heart-warming and touching story of 3 friends. Paul (Kenny Bee) has not given up hope on his girlfriend Jackie (Michelle Reis) who is in a comatose state due to a failed suicide. Dr. Lawrence, a brain surgeon (Tony Leung), however finds himself gradually drawn to Jackie when she awakes from her coma even though he knows of Paul's continued love for his girlfriend. Somehow, through as series of coincidences, she ends up staying at Lawrence's apartment and they find themselves slowly being drawn to each other despite Lawrence's initial misgivings over the whole relationship because of Paul's lingering affection for Jackie.
The light-hearted bantering between Leung and Reis resulted in some rib-tickling humor that connects well with the audience. Tony Leung, as usual, puts in a commendable performance, with his dry, sarcastic wit and humor giving life to his Dr. Lawrence character. Michelle Reis isn't bad either, with her innocent, vulnerable character shining through here.
