The Seventh Day
Different people have different attitudes to love – even those born on the same day in the same year do not necessarily share the same views. Yau Chi-Wing and Hui Wai-Yan were both born on the seventh day of August, but one takes relationships seriously while the other is very materialistic and sees love as a tool to get higher up the social ladder. When they meet their dream girl on the same island, their lives change forever.
