Meanwhile, as tensions rise within the triad ranks, rookie police cadet Yan (ShawnYue), whose half brother is the new triad boss Hau, is threatened with a disgraceful discharge unless he excepts the dangerous assignment of police mole within the family gang.
The films main younger cast played by pop singers ShawnYue and Edison Chen are disappointing players when compared to the original films stellar pairing of Andy Lau and Tony Leung as cop and gangster.
Failing in both the dynamic and charisma stakes Yue and Chen do their best to shine out from amongst the confusion of characters but ultimately pale against the much stronger and more experienced ‘grown-up’ cop and gangster boss.
One day, she found her lover, Seth (ShawnYue), gone without a word.
Inspired by Oxide’s unhappy memory about the time he spent with his ex-girl friend, the story of Diary begins with a young woman (Charlene Choi) meeting a guy (ShawnYue) looks likes exactly like her ex-boyfriend, who has been missing from her life for two years.
News about ShawnYue continually updated from thousands of sources around the net.
Diary, the latest chiller from Oxide Pang - one half of the Pang Brothers, the directing duo behind The Eye, Bangkok Dangerous, Re-Cycle and the upcoming Sam Raimi-produced The Messengers - is slated to hit...

Biography for Shawn Yue(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Branded as the next "Nicholas Tse", ShawnYue was born and raised in Hong Kong.
Yue's first acting projects included Hong Kong TV series "Y2K", co-starring Twins member Charlene Choi, and the lead role in its sequel "Y2K+01".
In 2002, Yue starred in "Just One Look", with both Twins members, and the much talked-about, big budget "Infernal Affairs", which brought him even more publicity.
A former model, he has starred in many Cantonese movies such as Jiang Hu and Infernal Affairs II and has established himself as a recognized face in the Hong Kong cinema.
When he graduated from Form 6, he immediately endulged himself into full-time modelling.

In the midst of all this we are introduced to the lead characters from the first film, Ming (Edison Chen filling this role as a youthful alternative to Andy Lau) and Yan (ShawnYue making his appearance as a not so grizzled Tony Leung).
The two begin as they were established in the first film; Ming as a fledgling criminal looking to get his foot in the door, and Yan, a police academy hopeful.
You could say that ShawnYue, as a young cop obsessed with joining the SDU, is the actual star; of course this doesn't explain why we know next to nothing about him except his obsession.
Perhaps Raymond Wong ("Colour of the Truth"), as Yue's partner, is the star; then again, we know even less about Wong than we do about Yue, so maybe not.
Then there's Michael Wong ("Beast Cops"), who as far as I can tell has made a career out of playing characters that are either a part of SDU, used to be a part SDU, or are recruiting for SDU.
The sequel -- or prequel, actually -- returns almost all of the same faces behind and in front of the cameras, including young bucks Edison Chen ("The Twins Effect") and ShawnYue ("The New Option"), both of whom had cameos in the original as the younger versions of Andy Lau and Tony Leung, respectively.
It's 1991, and brooding young punk Ming has just assassinated the current boss of the Hong Kong underworld at the behest of Mary (Carina Lau), the strong-willed wife of capo Sam (Eric Tsang), who has no knowledge of the killing.
Singaporean artist 'JJ' Lin Jun Jie is best known for his strong and effeminate vocals and touching ballads and recently released his fourth album 'Cao Cao.' The title track is undoubtedly my favourite track off the album, in 'Cao Cao' JJ takes a stab at alternative rock-influence and the result is very pleasing.
Former model turned HK actor/singer ShawnYue Man Lok is probably best known to wider audiences as Nakazato Takeshi in the Inital D Live Action film alongside his fellow HK actor/singers Edison Chen and Jordan Chan.
