Whether it is a loss or a blessing, you have to pinch it before you know it.

囧~~ This plot feels like I've watched it thousands of times, and it's still in different languages, because Hong Kong, mainland China, and South Korea have all been filmed.

The protagonist is a rich and mean woman. Because she was looking for a carpenter to install a new wardrobe for her yacht, she met the poor male protagonist who was a carpenter. Of course, in the process, they had a lot of friction due to their different temperaments. Just pinch it. Later, because the heroine accidentally fell into the water, she lost her memory after being rescued. After seeing it on TV, the hero developed a vengeance and juggling, and pretended to be her husband to take the "wife" back home. Everyone will know in the follow-up, and there seems to be nothing more to elaborate. But I still cried. The feelings of the actor's child towards the "new mother" are very touching. There is an inexplicably rich mother, and they are not at all disadvantaged.

    It's so scary, so scary, it's a female nightmare, the original version is like this, it's just a pua video tutorial, it's a horror movie! The male protagonist here should not be more overbearing to the female protagonist, a proper straight male cancer, is sending the washing machine to make the female protagonist better serve the family? The latest version of the film is too clever to choose gender swaps and fix too many uncomfortable issues.

    If it is not handled as a romantic comedy, this theme is really a chilling horror film. After a woman loses her memory, she is deceived by a man with ulterior motives with a "wife" lie, loses her personal freedom, and becomes a nanny and slave. Don't use this method for love after first marriage. Goldie Han's style is changeable, but the queen can be a sweet girl next door, but she can't accept emotional kidnapping, it's too scary!

    Grant Stayton: Yes, I must. It has a tawdry, escapist quality that soothes my nerves.

    Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt: What you have to escape from, I can't possibly imagine

  • Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt: [Grant has just arrived at the hospital; Joanna doesn't know he's right outside, behind a one-way mirror] You mean to tell me that I have no medical recourse...?

    Grant Stayton: Can she see us?

    Cop at Hospital: Not unless she's Superwoman.

    Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt: Well, what DO you know? Extend your brain a teensy little bit, if possible!

    Doctor at Hospital: You seem to be suffering from a temporary amnesia, either from the bump against the garbage scow, or the shock of the cold water.

    Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt: How temporary is it?

    Doctor at Hospital: We don't know. Other than that, you seem to be in excellent physical shape.

    Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt: Listen to me, medical people. As of now, I have a life history of a dirty garbage scow and a breakfast of extremely runny eggs over-easy. Now, I refuse - REFUSE

    Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt: I demand you do something! Do you hear me?

    Grant Stayton: [to the cop] Nooo, I never saw her before in my life.

    [leaves the hospital; later, back on the yacht]

    Grant Stayton: Mrs. Stayton has decided to leave me. Let's celebrate!
