It\u2019s one of the best love triangle movies ever, and it\u2019s a perfect movie to get cozy and watch with someone you have a crush on this holiday season. And if you want to watch it, the clock is ticking: It\u2019s leaving Netflix Dec. 1, and there\u2019s currently no other way to watch it \u2014 there\u2019s no way to rent or purchase it digitally, no other streaming service has it, and physical releases range from \u201cexorbitantly expensive\u201d to \u201cdifficult to find.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Starring three gorgeous and charming people (a great foundation for a romance), <em>Don\u2019t Go Breaking My Heart <\/em>follows Chi-yan (Gao Yuanyuan), a recently single financial analyst who finds her heart pulled between two competing suitors: a CEO (Louis Koo) who stood her up, and an architect (Daniel Wu) she helps get back on his feet after going through a rough time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Both men are charming and suave, but offer different attributes as prospective partners \u2014 Koo\u2019s CEO is more removed emotionally but offers financial stability, while Wu\u2019s architect is full of romantic yearning, but he\u2019s still picking up the pieces of his life. It\u2019s understandable why the choice is difficult \u2014 this isn\u2019t your typical \u201cone good option, one bad\u201d love triangle story (and To uses the background of a financial crisis to cleverly portray finding a life partner as an act of comparison shopping in the free market of dating). Individual viewers will have their own preference for which partner she chooses, but you could see her being content with either of them. They also end up working, at different times, in the building across from where Chi-yan works. That leads to one of <em>Don\u2019t Go Breaking My Heart<\/em>\u2019s most charming touches: The characters flirt by putting up sticky notes on the large glass windows of their buildings, making smiley faces and sending messages to each other. The glass windows are also a great opportunity for one of the age-old rom-com tropes: Mix-ups and miscommunications leading to hijinks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The movie\u2019s frequently funny, too, with sight gags, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and physical comedy galore. Part <em>His Girl Friday<\/em>, part <em>Playtime<\/em>, and all fun, <em>Don\u2019t Go Breaking My Heart<\/em> is an excellent example of a generational director working at the height of his powers and absolutely nailing a genre.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Don\u2019t Go Breaking My Heart <em>is streaming on Netflix through Nov. 30.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/what-to-watch\/482379\/dont-go-breaking-my-heart-leaving-netflix-best-rom-com\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The great Hong Kong filmmaker Johnnie To is broadly known for his riveting gangster dramas, with operatic gun fights, tense drama, and conflicted characters.
