Plot summary

edit

Wei'an (Ruby Lin) and Pinzhong (Christopher Lee)'s marriage start to fall apart due to the lack of communication and personality differences.[2] Wei'an goes to meet Pinzhong for the couple's divorce negotiation, only to find his former lover there. She storms out and gets hit in a traffic accident. Wei'an survives with some unexpected side effects: she has lost her memory, and reverted to the simple, endearing woman she was 10 years ago, reminding Pinzhong why he loved her in the first place...

Production

edit

Because of budget limitations, production started with only one-month preparation and a three-man team. Some of the scenes were shot in Lin Sun Hospital, Yang Ming Hospital, and an enclosed section of Siwei Road.[3] The television film was produced and was aiming for the Taiwan Golden Bell Awards.[4]
