The film stars a young brigitte lin along with Han chin, Alan Tam,Chelsia chan where the plot is very simple and revolves around these four characters.
The four first become friends in a platonic friendship but soon they start loving each other,
Then situations arise which makes them break up but soon they keep aside all their differences and becomes friends again.
There is a fun boxing match caused by the two female leads which causes the male leads to fight in a silly match till both of them are too exhausted to fight.
All these things make it ideal to be called a taiwanese 70's movie before the new wave, when most of their movies were rom-coms with little or no scope for other plots and stories.
Yet the one thing that shines beneath this nominal and simple story is Ah-lei Gua's(Brigitte lin's mother here) performance as a poor single mother who has struggled her own life to provide for her only daughter and who is continuing to do so till now, just her daughter is not fully appreciating her efforts.
Lin also tries to provide a false identity of her mother to her boyfriends family to gain their sympathy and not show that they are poor. But her true mother Tells the truth to them and this causes lin's character to leave her mother and Taipei city and run away after losing face(which she thinks, but is not true as nobody is making fun of her for that).
Lin's character "Shen Rong" realises her mistake and returns only upon finding that her mother has been part of an domestic accident and is hospitalised, she rushes to her mother and forgives her and they become happy again, along with the other three cast members.
All and all it is a movie you may only watch because of Brigitte lin's filmography or because you are watching it for nostalgia, as it is not any movie masterpiece, with average acting, okay Score, and is targeted only for specific audience.
