Plot

Athletic, kind and magnetic, freshman class rep Sun Ya-fang is adored by everyone, including shy classmate Yang Chia-chung and brash upperclassman Chen Yu-jen. Chen clumsily courts Sun, but Sun doesn't like him at all. Sun is unhappy with Yang for not participating in class activities, but changes her mind after learning that he must work after school to support himself and his younger sister because they are orphaned. She begins to like him especially after a class field trip. Yang decides to write her a love letter and make his feelings known. Unfortunately, the letter gets delivered to the wrong girl: now Sung Ming-yuan is ecstatic, much to the disappointment of Sun. Yang doesn't know how to clear up the misunderstanding without hurting Sung, so he reluctantly goes out with her. Meanwhile, Sun spends her days hanging out with George Kao, her American cousin vacationing in Taiwan. Yang feels jealous and upset, but thankfully for him Kao and Sung meet and fall in love. (They eventually become engaged despite Sung's protective father vehemently forbidding them from dating in the beginning.) Yang can no longer hide his feelings. Playing his guitar, he sings a love ballad in front of Sun's house until the neighbors call the police. Sun feels embarrassed but finally gets together with him after a harmless bicker. The film ends with them happily in love.
