It Had to Be You! is a romantic comedy from 2005 that tells the story of two individuals who seem to have nothing in common, but end up falling in love. The film is directed by Maurice Li, and stars Ekin Cheng as the male lead, and Karena Kar-Yan Lam as the female lead. Additionally, the film features Eric Tsang in a supporting role.

The film opens with the introduction of two characters, Grant and Sophia, who are both single and have very different personalities. Grant is a successful businessman who always puts work before pleasure, while Sophia is a clumsy and carefree waitress who dreams of finding the perfect man.

One day, on a whim, Sophia decides to write a letter to her future husband, describing what she hopes for in a relationship. Little does she know that the letter will end up in the hands of Grant, who mistakes it for a business proposal.

Despite their different lifestyles and interests, Grant and Sophia soon find themselves spending more and more time together. As they get to know each other, their initial distaste for one another turns into a budding romance. However, their happiness is short-lived as both Grant and Sophia face personal and professional challenges that threaten to tear them apart.

Throughout the film, viewers are treated to a light-hearted and humorous portrayal of love and relationships. The chemistry between Cheng and Lam is palpable, and their performances bring the characters to life. Tsang, who plays Grant's friend and business partner, provides a comedic element that helps to balance out the more serious moments in the film.

In addition to the main love story, the film also explores the themes of family and personal growth. Sophia's relationship with her parents is strained, and both Grant and Sophia struggle to balance their personal and professional lives. These subplots add depth to the film and help to make the characters more relatable.

Overall, It Had to Be You! is an enjoyable and heartwarming romantic comedy that will leave viewers feeling happy and uplifted. While it may not break new ground in terms of storytelling, the film's well-crafted characters and charming performances make it a worthy addition to the genre.
