Reconciliation is all about figuring out your differences and trying to resolve them; in the end, it depends on how much two people love each other!

The first thing that I noticed as soon as I started watching this sequel was the mature screenplay; it doesn’t gloss over the fact that all adult relationships are difficult, no matter the sexuality or gender. So, while Tin Ting takes a dive into the unknown, based on her feelings and preferences, Yi Ming remains indignant about maintaining their status quo; that is until she is faced with the unfortunate choice a breakup. People mostly take their loved ones for granted, until they are forced to accept the consequences. Yi Ming has her own share of problems too; her divorce does give her the freedom to exist independently but her absence isn’t conducive to her son’s wellbeing. From trying to act as a long distance mother to her special child to socially accepting her relationship with Tin Ting, Yi Ming had a lot of thinking to do. Lin Zai Zai & Lyan Cheng star in this wonderful “Coming-of-age” romance that addresses most issues that same sex couples face in the beginning stages of their relationship.
