Because of Her reunites co-director Wang Tianlin, composer Hattori Ryoichi and star Grace Chang – the three key elements in the extraordinarily success of The Wild, Wild Rose. Singer and dancer Li Mei-hsin (Grace Chang) is going out with another performer Du Zhi-ping (Kelly Lai Chen) when, after a night of love, he announces that he is going to work in Japan. After he leaves, Mei-hsin finds out she is pregnant. The director of her performance troupe, Jin Shih-ming (Roy Chiao), offers to marry her. She accepts and all goes smoothly until Zhi-ping returns. The musical numbers in the film are extraordinarily diverse and spectacular in staging and style, offering a glimpse of Hong Kong cultural stereotyping, from Japanese to Indonesian to Latin-inspired song-and-dance numbers.
