    A cheesy beginning but a surprisingly good ending

    This film tells the story of a successful businessman who has a series of ex-girlfriends. He meets a charming girl in an ex-girlfriend's wedding, and they develop a relationship. However, his ex-girlfriends keep popping up in his life, making the girl very jealous. Their relationship is further tested by the girl's charming and rich Korean ex-boyfriend.

    The first ninety five percent of the film is really bad, because the plot is super cheesy and unbelievable. My eyes rolled so many times because of the over the top plot and acting. I can't quite believe that a wedding banquet will have tables for exes. It's just too contrived. Then, the dialogues are terrible, I can't believe there are lines such as "I'm so thin that I only have busts". It's just horrid.

    The last five minutes or so becomes surprisingly good. The confessional speech by Meng Yun's business partner is very touching and real. I was moved by it. The ending is nice as well, as it finally gets mature and serious. If only they tone down the comedy and make it a little more serious like the last five minutes, "EX-Files" would have been so much better.
