FALLEN ANGELS..!! 1995... Yes.
I just watched Lost and Found (天涯海角) 1996, and I’m still thinking about it. The way it starts off all mysterious, not giving much away about the characters, but totally fitting the title Lost and Found. The first thing the main character says is, "I’m looking for hope," and it hits differently. The question is, can he help her find it? In the end, he becomes the hope she needed – like a person who makes her feel alive, showing her another side of world & herself that’s both intriguing and real. It’s crazy how life always has hidden sides that we don’t notice until we meet certain people or go through specific experiences that make us realize, hey, there’s more to this life than what we see! Otherwise, we’d just stay in our little bubble, unaware and kinda bored with how things seem so routine.
What I loved about the movie is the relationship between the two main characters. Their love wasn’t all butterflies and dates; it was more like a quiet, supportive bond built on friendship, trust, and shared journeys. It’s almost like their love story sneaks up on you – you don’t even realize when they fell for each other. It’s such a gradual, pure love. Like, real love isn’t just a feeling; it’s everything that happened between them.

Oh my gosh, I adore this. He’s super beautiful, thanks for the movie recs as well.
It took me nearly two weeks to figure out who I was picturing as Kai while I was reading. But when I tweeted at Genevieve and she mentioned Chow Yun Fat, that reminded me of Zhang Ziyi (who starred in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with him) and a movie she starred that I sobbed to last night - House of Flying Daggers. This is a long way of saying I remembered this beautiful man who I was in love with back in 2005 and was who I've been picturing as Kai without even realizing.
Everyone please look at Takeshi Kaneshiro who, circa 1996-2007, is the perfect look for Kai:
