7/10
Very nice thriller movie, with some surprises in the end

Warning: Spoilers
Winnie Leung spends her days in her apartment making wooden dolls, cooking and writing in her diary. She is very lonely since her ex boyfriend, Seth Lau, left her. She doesn't have much success trying to contact him, and one day, after going to his job to see if she sees him, she meets Ray Fan, a guy who is very similar to Seth. Winnie decides to invite Ray Fan to her apartment to have a meal, and there, she tells him how similar to her ex boyfriend he is, and tells Ray that Seth died in a car accident. Eventually Ray and Winnie starts to date and live together, but never looking a real couple, since Ray doesn't show much love towards her. One night, when they both are having dinner, Winnie says that Seth died of cancer, making Ray feel confused and have a discussion with her. To prove she is right, Winnie starts to read her diary in the day that Seth died, but she discovers a bizarre and dark secret that will change everything.

''Mon seung '' is a very nice movie, that makes you feel very surprised with the end. The movie starts being slow and a little boring, and then, after Winnie reads her diary, everything turns upside down, showing not only a different behavior from the characters, but also things that you would never imagine about them.

I didn't like very much the story not being linear, because in some parts I felt a little lost, needing to watch them again to understand what was happening or if it was a present, a future or a past act.

Ps: In the beginning of the movie, you really can feel Winnie's solitude and eventually have pity for her.
