Episode 1 - Lonely Game
Synopsis
Director Yang Ya Ji Ji's goal is to convey an invisible sense of painful loss: Some responsibilities can be escaped from (eg. police may or may not be able to catch you), but once some things are lost, they can never be returned to you. That kind of loss cannot be described, but is expressed though words in the episode. We can pretend not to care, but one day we ourselves will experience that kind of pain.
Cast
- Lin Shi Hui as Xiao Die

Episode 2 - Black Summer
Synopsis
Scriptwriter Zhao Quan hopes to let youngsters realize that a moment of blind courage can have unthinkable consequences, (eg. you may get hurt, or even lose your life). By then nothing can be saved.

Using a fictitious story to narrate this fact will leave a much deeper impression on viewers' minds.
