C . Summary Of The Movie

Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), a professor of economics at New York University, was eating in a
cafe with her boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), after teaching. Rachel accepts an
invitation to accompany Nick to Singapore for the marriage of her best friend, Colin (Chris
Pang), and her fiance, Araminta (Sonoya Mizuno). Peik Lin explained the history of Nick's
family wealth and the march at Colin's wedding, warning Rachel that Nick's extended family and
friends would criticize and mock Rachel even if Rachel didn't care about him.
Rachel is worried Eleanor doesn't like it even though Rachel seems to make a good impression
on Nick's grandmother, Su Yi (Lisa Lu). Rachel attends Araminta's bachelorette party where
Rachel meets Amanda (Jing Lusi), who reveals that she is Nick's ex-lover. Colin revealed about
Rachel who works in the United States and Nick who is expected to inherit his own family's
company. Rachel tells Nick about the bachelorette party and Nick apologizes to Rachel for not
telling him about his family. Later, Eleanor recounts the sacrifice he made to be part of the
Young family and tells Rachel that Rachel "will never be enough".
On the way to the wedding, Astrid feuded with Michael about the affair. Michael blamed his
unhappiness to Astrid and the wealth of the Astrid family, got out of their car and left Astrid
alone in the car. Using personal investigative evidence, they reveal that Rachel came from an
affair after Rachel's mother, Kerry (Tan Kheng Hua), left her husband and fled to the United
States, then they asked Nick to end the relationship with Rachel for fear of the scandal. Rachel
was silent because Kerry told her that her father was dead and ran away crying, while Nick was
chasing her despite being warned by Su Yi. Kerry arrived in Singapore to visit her suddenly and
explained that her husband was rude and that she was pregnant from an old friend who was
trying to comfort her, then ran away for fear of her husband.
Kerry told Rachel that Nick had arranged Kerry's visit and urged Rachel to talk to him. Rachel
meets Eleanor in the mahjong room and tells him that she refused Nick's proposal so that Nick's
relationship with her family will not be destroyed and that when Nick marries another woman
who is enough for Eleanor, it happens thanks to Rachel. Rachel accidentally lost the game to
Eleanor and left the room with Kerry. Astrid tells Michael that he will move out of their

E . Opinion.

This work by Kevin Kwan really touched many hearts of the viewers, both the comedy and
romantic sides that made the audience immersed in the atmosphere of the film being played.
Likewise with the selection of a very appropriate character to complete this film to win the hearts
of the audience. Likewise with the setting, clothing and atmosphere created.
This film can touch many viewers too because the storyline is sufficient to illustrate the reality of
reality that is also experienced by many couples who are forbidden by parents just because of the
economic status of the film. from various aspects that create new views in determining partners.
Couples are also not judged by their economic status, position or appearance. But the heart of a
sincere, faithful person who is able to overcome any obstacles in the relationship. This film also
teaches to not give up if you have challenges or problems and must be strong and brave to face
them.
