Serendipity: when love meet in trade show exhibit


The story begins from the time when Jonathan meets Sara. Both of them tried their best to buy the same pair of gloves as Christmas gift to their beloved at one of trade show exhibit in Bloomingdale's department store, and later became curious to one another. Most of this film takes place seven years later, and consists lots of repeated "almost coincidences" where the two characters fall in love, but not quite meet each other. Both of them believe in superstitious.

There is even a time when Jonathan act like a detective to find out Sara’s phone number. Jonathan went to one of those trade show exhibits again seven years later, in order to find out this by checking the data from billing receipt, but, the merchant there ask him to buy lots of their product first. The situation became uncontrollable as they can’t find the data, which has been stored in the storage room for seven years. Actually, Sara has already put her number in one book that she sold it later to one of the old bookstore. The title of the book is one of John can memorize, so he tried his best to find that book, but later he found the book as a gift from his fiancee on the night before his wedding. This is another 'sign' that Sara is still in love with him.

Both Sara and Jonathan at that particular moment where circling around the city and missed their meeting by chances, it is like fate toyed them around. Until finally both given up, Sara went to the ice skating ring where the two of them finish their night off. Again, fate let them meet there. In the end, and later celebrate their anniversary in that trade show exhibit in Bloomingdale.
