The DVD: Panasia. NOTE: This is an HK DVD release which is REGION 3 encoded.

Picture: Anamorphic Widescreen. Crisp and bright. Sunny and happy. It is so polished and meticulously lit, I kept expecting the actors to suddenly start pitching me products. The transfer appears relatively tight, maintaining the crisp veneer with good sharpness and color levels. I felt the contrast could use deeper black levels. The only further flaw I could spot was some edge enhancement.

Sound:Dolby Digital 5.1 EX, DTS Japanese language or Cantonese 2.0 dub, with optional Chinese (Traditional or Simplified) and dual Chinese & English subtitles. Well-developed sound mix. Dialogue sticks to the center channels while the surround really pumps in the weepy score. If you have trouble with subtitles, the dual Chinese and English subs will only further your annoyance, but I'm probably so used to subs by now I hardly noticed and they didn't seem to clutter the screen.

Extras: Trailer.— Bonus cd containing a collection of ASCII art. As online-savvy people know, basically it is keyboard art, making characters, figures, and such from keyboard letters and characters.

Conclusion: ...Pretty good dvd presentation. Worth a look for all-region capable foreign film fans with a taste for modern romance.
