SYNOPSIS:
Alice (Alice Tseng) returns to Hong Kong from Taiwan with great sadness. Two weeks ago, Alice's boyfriend Andy (Andy On) passed away in an automobile accident. A month before the accident, Alice found out Andy has been cheating and decided to break off their relationship. Alice never thought the day they broke up would also be the last time she saw him. Alice is back in Hong Kong after receiving an invitation for a memorial service that Andy’s friends are holding in his memory. During her stay, she moves into Andy's home, their home. Alice is familiar with every table, every chair, every cranny and nook, but now, it's no longer theirs or Andy’s, she spends her day retracing their past in pain.

REVIEW:
" This is a Patrick Kong film, which means one or two plot twists simply won't be enough. If the majority of Forgive and Forget feels uninteresting, that's because Kong has yet to pull out his biggest plot twists - that is, the ones that require loads of flashback and reams of droning exposition to explain. Kong intricately plots his stories, allowing for these "wow, aren't we clever" payoffs where the audience discovers what's what. However, even then the holes are too large to really ignore. While the majority of the horror film details do get explained, a great many are not, and seem to be disingenuous red herrings. Also, the last act revelation is only mildly interesting, because the previous two acts were so obviously artificial that they never hooked the audience. Kong's plot twists can be clever, but they also hurt his films, especially if the audience is aware of his usual modus operandi. Why should an audience try to get invested in Kong's stories if they know he's going to sucker punch them anyway? Kong needs a new trick, because this one is starting to get played out.
Still, Kong does manage some bitter poignancy in his denouement, and once again it's due to his obsession with crappy modern relationships. Even though much of Forgive and Forget is recycled - cheating spouses, backup lovers, elaborate chicanery by boyfriends or girlfriends - he does serve up some emotion that could resonate with his target audience. Kong's view of love is so resoundingly cynical that it's practically annoying, but there are still some surprising moments when his ideas ring true. Forgive and Forget does have such a moment.
Too bad that it comes at the end of a poorly-directed motion picture that's more annoying than it is successful. Kong's direction in Forgive and Forget is garish and shockingly unrefined, and his actors aren't very good either. Besides the average turns from Tzeng and On, the film boasts the year's most annoying supporting performances, from singer Siu Fay and girl group Hotcha, as Andy and Jingjing's friends. Kong has decent ideas, but as usual his execution - from storytelling to the direction of actors - seriously lacks. His films are still interesting simply from an expectation standpoint - that is, it's easy to get curious about what Patrick Kong will do this time. For those really interested in Hong Kong Cinema, those expectations are always worth discussing, regardless of whether or not the actual movie is any good. Forgive and Forget certainly qualifies, and remains noteworthy simply because it's a film by Patrick Kong. But just in case an actual judgement on quality matters: sorry, the movie is really not that good "
