Synopsis
What started as a chance meeting in the back alley for a smoke, ended up in a romance for Jimmy
Cheung and Cherie Yue. Six months later, Cherie can no longer stand Jimmy's habit of dragging
his feet on everything and Jimmy is tired of Cherie's temper tantrums. When Jimmy is offered a
lucrative position in Beijing, their love in a puff is snuffed out.
On one of his business trips to Shanghai, Jimmy meets a flight attendant Shang You-you, who falls
in love with him immediately. Meanwhile, Cherie is sent to Beijing to open a new shop, where she
meets and starts to date Sam, a Malaysian Chinese who works for an I.T. company.
Jimmy and Cherie finally meet up in the fall of 2010 after a series of text messages. Despite
the tender moments in their newfound relationship, the nagging polarity of their sense of value
still keeps them apart.
When You-you catches onto Jimmy's infidelity, she begs him to stay. Cherie leaves Jimmy a voice
message asking him never to see her again because she's disappointed they're unable to overcome
their differences. When one of You-you's text messages reminds Jimmy of the time with Cherie,
they agree to part company peacefully.
Meanwhile, Cherie takes on a secondment to Shanghai for 6 months and Sam decides to take time off
to be with her. While waiting to board the train, Cherie breaks down crying after she receives a
text message from Jimmy. After Sam learns of the reason, he encourages her to give Jimmy a second chance.
In this sequel to the hit movie Love in a Puff , Jimmy and Cherie start a new life in Beijing after
they ended their relationship. Despite meeting someone else, they can't seem to forget each other and
are torn between fidelity towards their new partners and following their hearts.
