## 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]
