The story "Turn Left, Turn Right" is based on the illustrated book "A Chance of Sunshine" by Jimmy Liao a Taiwanese author, who makes a cameo appearance with his wife and daughter in the film. And also, it was the first Chinese-language Asian film ever from produced and distributed by Warner Bros.
The original graphic novel was first published in the year 1999. The characters in the novel were not given names, both characters were only referred to as "him" and "her".
The movie portrayed the reality of how the right time works. They both knew each other since they were in grade school. They even had a crush on each other and they refer to them by their serial number due to, they were both shy to introduce themselves.
Little did they know that in every moment they are in the same places. And worst, is that their apartment rooms were just one wall apart. All the struggles they faced were not easy. It even came to a point wherein, both of them needs to be confined at the hospital. Serendipity again.. they were rushed in the same hospital.
Well, of course after a rain there comes a rainbow. After all the struggles they went through, God made a miracle for them to see each other. Alas! The long wait is over.
"Turn Left Turn Right" is a must watch film. As I was watching, somehow, it reminds me of my man. He faced a lot of circumstances, but now it'll be us against all odds.
I sure agreed with you that after a rain there comes a rainbow. The movie was very cliche but it was quite an inspiring one and I was sure surprised that the author would make a cameo in the movie. Anyway Good Luck with your man~!
