Andy Lau finds a way into the female heart in the Chinese remake of WhatWomen Want co-starring Gong Li! In his adaptation of the 2000 American film starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt, Chinese American writer-director Chen Daming has moved the story background from Chicago to Beijing.

He uses the power against Li to steal her ideas, but in the process finds himself falling for the inner beauty of this archenemy...
