My DNA Says I Love You (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3

After charming audiences with the "Focus: First Cuts" entry The Shoe Fairy, up-and-coming Taiwanese filmmaker Robin Lee takes another quirky look at modern romance with My DNA Says I Love You. This amusingly titled romantic comedy explores the idea of curing problematic genes that might be obstacles in love. The humorous, yet oddly insightful film features the photogenic casting of Mainland newcomer Yu Nan from the acclaimed film Tuya's Marriage and Taiwanese actress Terri Kwan (The Heirloom, Toast Boy's Kiss 2), opposite television heartthrobs Peter Ho (Starry Starry Night, The Truth About Jane and Sam) and Eddie Peng (When Dolphin Met Cat, Exit No. 6), who received a Best New Performer nomination at the 44th Golden Horse Awards for his performance.

Colleagues at a bio-tech company, neat freak Gigi (Terri Kwan) and naturally plump Marlene (Yu Nan) were both born with genes that cause problems in their love life. When Gigi runs into her college boyfriend Anteater (Peter Ho), she strikes up a new relationship with him, unable to recall why they broke up in the first place. Everything is going great until the day she steps foot in his incredibly messy apartment, and her neat-freak genes act up. Not wanting to lose love again, Gigi starts taking the "anti clean-gene" pill and happily moves in with Anteater. Marlene is also on cloud nine thanks to the "anti fat-gene pill" and her blooming romance with next-door neighbor Teddy (Eddie Peng). But what happens when the pills get pulled off the market?
