Please Remember Me

A young actress, successful in her small hometown, seeks fame and fortune in the big city. She goes to live with a friend, who is currently making a film about Zhao Dan. They live in a building about to be destroyed. Can their differing visions of art and love come to pass, or will heartbreak put an end to their relationship, as it does to the old Shanghai?

Directed by Peng Xiaolian, Please Remember Me leans on a strong ensemble — Joyce Feng, Jia Yiping, Huang Zongying — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
