Ashley felt that she was about to fly into the sky, and she didn't want to miss the opportunity to have dinner with big stars and interviews, so she readily agreed. On the way out with the star to be fried by the paparazzi, Ashley 's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she completely forgot her original intention of coming to New York to be romantic with her boyfriend.

In a panic, Ashley was asked by the star to leave the house immediately by the back door. On the way, she grabbed a coat and managed to find Gatsby in the hotel in the rain.
After meeting Gatsby , Ashley , who was still immersed in the illusion of being sought after by directors, screenwriters and stars , was still talking to herself about her glorious day. Gatsby was helpless. It may take many years for Ashley to realize that she is favored by the big names in the film industry because of her youthful beauty and ignorance, which can bring a little entertainment to these people.
The next day, it was still cloudy in New York, with signs of rain. The two who were thinking about each other were still reluctantly sitting in the carriage together, and Ashley complained about the cloudy sky; at this time, Gatsby, who had realized it later, suddenly opened his mind and told Ashley that they were completely different.

He turned around and saw that, miraculously, Akane , who had a blind date with the skin doctor, appeared, and the two kissed. Qian said that the doctor was rich and handsome, but she came here.
Maybe it's just because of the rainy Manhattan yesterday, the two coincidentally met for a kiss scene.

So, the two, who had already brought the romance of dating under the park clock into their consciousness, went to the central park under the bell under the guidance of the rainy day and evening.
The plot still falls into the clichés, but the love filmed by Mr. Woody in the familiar New York City, the dialogue is brilliant, the music brings a strong sense of immersion, the plot is absurd but still logical, and there is a sincere or illusory literary and artistic temperament in all aspects. The film is worth watching, the Latin literary texture of 'Sweet Tea' fits well with the film.
