Clumsy Kang Le-yo (Guo Shu Yao, Office Girls) wants to be rich. She crashes funerals to trap rich mourners, picks up cash she finds on the street, and misses no chance to make money the easy way. She is also indebted to a loan shark, and someone special is coming to collect her dues. Bumbling debt collector Chang Liang (Tsao Yu Ning) has terrible luck. His boss borrowed money and ran away, and now Chang Liang has to pay off the loan shark. The problem is, he is just too nice to shake people down. When he has to go collect money from Kang Le-yo, Chang Liang ends up falling for her instead. Ding Shao-en (Edison Wang) is Chang Liang’s best friend, but not one without grievances. He hates Chang Liang's lack of boundaries. Not only does Chang Liang refuse to stop calling him Ding-ding, but now, Ding Shao-en is caught in the middle of an annoying mess between his buddy and the money-hungry girl he likes. Chang Liang and Ding Shao-en know they need money to solve their problems. When they realize Chang Liang is really good at dealing with people, they open the Interpersonal Relationship Office. Together, they help people solve their problems with others. But first, they need to focus on solving their own.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
