Why Me, Sweetie?
ComedyDramaRomance97 min
A man with memory loss keeps trying to woo a Beijing theater student, then forgetting who she is and having to begin again. Louis Koo is the would-be suitor caught in that cycle, while Cherrie Ying is the student at the center of his stop-and-start romance. The setup turns courtship into a series of repeated introductions, missed connections, and awkward resets, with each new encounter forcing the relationship back to its earliest stage. Framed as a Hong Kong romance with comedy and drama folded into the premise, it follows what happens when attraction keeps colliding with a mind that won’t hold onto it.
