The Other Side Of A Gentleman (1984)

MLs are unconventional, macho, and part of the lower class tier. They fall for the beautiful women out of their league. MLs have a loving and supporting family.

FLs are educated, beautiful, and distant. But they can be sweet. Their lively and fun side is brought out when they meet the MLs. FLs have a no-good fiancé.

ML and FL come from different worlds. Outside forces keep them apart, and at one point it seems as though they’ll forever be apart.

Male leads are naive or apparently “not smart” at the beginning. Female lead has a temporary lapse in judgment and goes for the educated second male. Hurt, both male leads reform themselves and pursue the female lead again with ulterior motives and for revenge.

Male lead is part of a ploy that benefits the female lead. Despite having some untrue form of a “romance” female lead is already in a relationship with a guy who looks good on paper. Male leads don’t take well to being used.

Stars Brigitte Lin in another romance that’s different from a majority of the films in her filmography. It’s better than The Other Side Of A Gentleman, and she portrays a character that fits her more.

Female leads deceive male leads. Both female leads do so because of their job, and being pressured by their colleagues and superiors to get the job done, even though they’ve fallen for the male lead.
