The film focuses on the younger generation with a warning storyline. It is hoped that young viewers will recognize the eternal dark side of human nature in the extreme aristocratic environment of the 1990s, and let young viewers realize that vulnerability may be a positive for cynicalism. The production design of Jon Gary Steele is esoteric, meticulous and critical to this film set entirely in a privileged world. Edward Shearmur’s soundtrack elegantly echoes the film’s ever-changing mood, but with a delightful feel. The driving force highlights the humorous, ironic tone and the ruthless inevitable feeling of the film. With the careful creation of photographer Theo van de Sande, the film is a mature film that is very suitable for children to watch.

Pao Xue's dynamic signature, I thought it was very contrived, but it turned out to be pushing someone I didn't like out of bed, not a skill. In the end, I fell in love with a woman who didn't look like his sister.

The atmosphere is very similar to "Kill the Dead", but it's a bit weaker in every aspect. Brothers and sisters without blood appear in style, but the characters other than them are designed to be stupid. The film is still very conservative, one of them died of the awakening of true love, and the other was destroyed by the truth.

Annette: I'm impressed.
Sebastian: Well, I'm in love.

Sebastian: Sounds great... I love you too.
Kathryn: [mocking Sebastian] "I love you"? My God. You are completely pussy-whipped.
Sebastian: Stop it.
Kathryn: What happened to us?
Sebastian: Nothing's changed.
Kathryn: Yes it has. You're in love with her, you don't love me anymore.
Sebastian: Come on, Kathryn, it's just a bet.
Sebastian: [after being kissed by Kathryn and pushing her away] This is ridiculous.
Kathryn: What's ridiculous, dear brother, is you! Look at yourself, look at what you've been reduced to! Have you given any thought to what's going to happen when school starts? Not only are you dating Miss Seventeen Magazine, but she's also the new headmaster's daughter. Before you know it, you'll be giving campus tours with her. Oh, wait, her father doesn't know about your past, does he? I doubt he'd let his little princess be seen with the likes of you. Hmm... It's so disappointing to see Annette's manifesto was a total sham. Though, as student body president, I feel it's my sworn duty to tell him.
[picks up the phone and starts dialing]
Sebastian: Put the phone down.
Kathryn: Shh, this will only take a second.
Kathryn: [after Sebastian grabs the phone and slams it down] Hmm, quite the predicament you're in.
Sebastian: I don't care what you say. The fact of the matter is that I was planning on telling her everything this afternoon.
Kathryn: Oh, that's right, I forgot, you're so in love. Do you honestly believe you've done a complete 180 in the few days you've known her? Well let me tell you something, people don't change overnight. You and I are two of a kind. At least I have the guts to admit it. You were going to leave school a legend, now you're going to leave a joke.
Sebastian: Well, I'm willing to take my chances.
Kathryn: Don't do it, Sebastian. Not only will you ruin your reputation, you'll destroy hers.
