Zhou Xun (Sun Na) 　　

Almost all critics gives this actress’s performance positive or even high appraisal. 　　

Her excellent delivery of the role almost overwhelms the other two male stars. 　　

She depicts a girl who met a Hong Kong boy and used to be in love with him, but left him to chase her dream of being a star. She has to erase her memory to be saved or escaped from self-blame. 　　

This is a role that deserves no forgiveness. With Zhou Xun’s performance, audiences just can’t hate her but instead, feel more sympathy for the role. 　　

Many people think that it is because that Zhou Xun has has a similar real-life experience in her career with the role of Sun Na in the movie. However, Zhou Xun denied, saying that she is totally different with the role of Sun Na. Sun is a kind of person who are willing to give up love for career, but she says she is just the opposite. 　　

She acknowledged that it is the most difficult film among all her films, yet she really enjoyed it. 　　

Also, Zhou surprises with a simple, innocent rendition of the folksy "Outside." 　

Takeshi Kaneshiro (Lin Jiandong) 　　

Chinese-Japanese heartthrob Takeshi Kaneshiro’s low key self-promotion and his good delivery of alienated, introverted roles has gained him mysterious charm. 　　

He depicts a man who is over indulged in memory, who has a craze for her ex-girlfriend which leads to hatred and revenge, and who also has a penchant for swimming fully clothed and releasing a teardrop under the water. His character repels himself to fall asleep at night and types messages repeatedly into his computer as well as recording his words to tapes for ten year, wishing his girl to come back. 　　

His voice perhaps is a far cry from Jacky Cheung, but his sincerity and characteristics shine through nonetheless.
