Director: Lin Cheng Seng
To be frank, I did not like this film at all. I felt that the romance of the betelnut beauty and the protagonist was at a very shallow point of view.

However, this film may bring the attention of the Taiwanese culture as betelnut beauties are often seen in Taiwan. It kind of exposes me to the different cultures and perhaps into the gangster realm. Additionally, I did not like the erotica elements within this film, partly because I felt a little weird watching it. It was not my usual cup of tea and it is still not a nice cup of tea to me. haha
The expression I gave after watching this film was
