Synopsis
Life seems to be one misstep after another for 30 year-old Shi Zhao Yu (Nick Chou) ever since he lost that fateful basketball match to his college rival Li Jun Ren (Chang Chieh). He lost to him in love back in college, now he's about to lose his job. Life is no easier for his former classmate Ruby Shen (Huang Wei Ting). The girl of every guy's dream in college is now trapped in a failed marriage. Feeling depressed, Ruby calls her former classmates to meet at the clock tower, where they once shared happy memories together in college. "If only I could go back in time, maybe my life would have been different." says Ruby before she jumps off the clock tower. Just as Zhao Yu falls from trying to save Ruby, he is transported back in time to his sophomore year in college. Zhao Yu now has a chance. The opportunity to save his first love and reverse the future is in our hero’s grasp. But what does he really want: another shot with his college crush, or a love that he didn't even know existed before?
