Trivia

The original poster that shows a computer-altered photography of a woman's upper torso was withdrawn from display in Hong Kong's subway system. The company in charge of Hong Kong's subway system had concluded the poster was not suitable for the public and banned it from all subway stations. Edited Posters with a more traditional design, showing portraits of two leads were used instead.

User Reviews

Lots of laughs and lots of subplots

Bingo Cheung is a sassy, smart-mouthed advertising executive. Nothing fazes this girl. Even when she discovers that she must lose her breast to cancer, she flips a coin and gives herself the options "Tails, cured. Heads, all cured". She is a determined optimist. And fooling herself.

The problem is Bingo finds it hard to let go. She carries a 7 year old pager in the hope her ex-boyfriend will contact her. He does. With cancer, she is terrified of losing her femininity and her future. It takes love and Dr V to help her understand how much she wants to live.

Packed with laughs and lots of story, we become immersed in all facets of Bingo's life. It is both hilarious and heart-breaking as she learns that a positive attitude also requires positive actions.
