The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 6 times at 4 cinemas across 4 districts, from HK$60 to HK$110 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at PREMIERE ELEMENTS (Kowloon Station) in Tsim Sha Tsui, HK$60. Category IIB · 109 minutes.

What it is about

Amidst a rising wakesurfing craze, surf instructor Man (Renci Yeung) is falsely accused and publicly shamed online. Among the trolls is Chuan (Jeffrey Ngai), a surfing novice whose satirical video mocking her goes viral. Upon realizing the rumors were entirely fabricated and that he has ruined her reputation, a guilt-ridden Chuan signs up for Man's lessons under his real identity to make amends.


As they connect beyond the digital noise, a genuine romance blossoms. To clear her name, Chuan devises a plan to expose the disgruntled student who started the smear campaign, while encouraging Man to reclaim her professional standing by challenging celebrity coach Joe (Kevin Chu).

What to expect

Fung Chih Chiang’s romance uses a wakesurfing backdrop to look at how quickly an online mob can wreck a life. Renci Yeung plays a coach whose career collapses after a false accusation goes viral; Jeffrey Ngai is the amateur whose mocking video accidentally pours fuel on the fire. The movie spends most of its time on the awkward, low-key repair work that follows — guilt, cautious lessons, and a scheme to expose the real culprit — rather than on the water. It is a Cantonese-language release with English and Chinese subtitles, running 109 minutes. Rated IIB, it opens 26 August 2026 across 17 cinemas in 13 districts, with over 200 screenings in the first week and tickets from HK$55.
