Jiang Xiao Xian is a thirty something woman who works as a customer service rep at a telco company. She has always been the bridesmaid and she wants to be the bride for once.
Lin Xiang Hai is a part-time bartender, wedding photographer who dreams of being a film director someday. Filming a movie with the Odyssey concept has always been his lifelong dream.
The two met at a wedding reception. Xiang Hai was immediately turned on by Xiao Xian's sexy legs. But she has a long-time boyfriend already. However, Xiao Xian and her boyfriend do not see eye-to-eye on the concept of marriage. There was a funny scene where Xiang Hai was caught between the couple in the lift.
Xiao Xian's boyfriend eventually gave a ring to her but he does not want to settle down immediately. He asked her for another two years. She got angry and had an argument with him. Later that night the boyfriend was at the bar where Xiang Hai was working. Apparently he had arranged to meet some girls for a good time that night. Unfortunately for him, he was caught by Xiao Xian while making out in the car.
Xiao Xian ended up at the same bar after that incident and kept drinking the drinks made by Xiang Hai. While he was mixing the drinks he kept looking at her chest... Yeah, I know right?!
Xiao Xian was drunk and Xiang Hai took her back to his room because he doesn't know where she stayed. It was supposed to be a hilarious scene while she was drunk lying in his bed and he had to fight off his urge to sleep with her but I didn't find that quite tasteful. The camera kept focusing on her legs and boobs, with her nipples protruding underneath her shirt even. I guess some might enjoy this part but I generally felt a bit uncomfortable...
Xiang Hai didn't sleep with her but she did give him a kiss while in her drunken state. She left her mobile at his room and he met up with her the next day to give it back to her.
The story goes on with Xiang Hai running into Xiao Xian at the coffee bean shop, cafe etc and eventually moved into her house because he was evicted by his landlady. Xiao Xian's friend is dating Xiang Hai's friend so she helped him get a room in Xiao Xian's house.
Xiang Hai tried very hard to woo Xiao Xian and finally they slept together one day. Xiao Xian became pregnant and Xiang Hai was really not ready for anything. Xiao Xian's father found out and made Xiang Hai marry his daughter but it didn't work.
The couple did get married in the end, after Xiao Xian giving birth to a baby boy. (I think it's a boy since it's a blue towel) Xiang Hai did manage to film the Odyssey movie but it was turned down by the producers. Xiao Xian suggested that he should post it online and it garnered a lot of views so he was really happy.
Overall thoughts?
This couple is my least favourite. For starters, the guy only wanted the female for her body. He seemed so horny most of the time. I felt there was not really any deeper connection between the two. But I guess in real life this is reality. A lot of men go after the woman solely for their looks and body...
Not much metro scenes, just a couple here and there. Meeting at the station and on the train where the red hair girl gives the female lead a sketch or something.
However, I loved the scene of her printed photo on the wall. It was really tastefully done, with some wind effect as well!
