Romantic film expert director Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum) recently changes to make comedy. His new film DELETE MY LOVE (DELETE OI YUN) star comedy stars of different generations Michael Hui Koon Man and Wong Cho Nam with Ivana Wong Yuen Chi, Nancy Sit Ka Yin, Eric Kwok Wai Leung, Yuen Qiu, Michael Wong Man Tak and others. He is very pleased with the casting and even reveals that when he first asked Wong Yuen Chi to be the lead actress, there was a lot of outside noise. "Even Ivana asked me why I would ask her to make a movie, I feel that the pace when she speaks is interesting and very funny. Her type of neurotic sense of comedy resembles (Josephine) Siao Fong Fong a lot. Later Ivana's GOLDEN CHICKENSSS (GUM GAISSS) was released and her acting received good reviews. Many people praised my vision."

Yip Lim Sum says that Kwok Wai Leung after playing IRON MAN in the film received a cafe commercial offer. The entire matter becomes very connected and helps viewers relate when they watch the film. As for Hui Koon Man's willingness to return, Yip Lim Sum admits that he gives a try to make contact. "People thought that I wouldn't be able to fulfill my dream of working together. Hui Koon Man has seen my past work, which is even more surprising to me!"

As for rumors that Hui Koon Man is hard to get along with and changes line with Wong Cho Nam, Yip Lim Sum explains, "Actually at work he asks about everything in great detail. He only wants to be sure about work, he isn't upsetting you. Questions from their generation of superstars have quality, they respect the director very much. As for Cho Nam and Hui Koon Man's line changes, if you were there, you would know how smoothly my shoot has been. The story structure wouldn't change. I too would change lines on the set and come up with some on the spot. Whatever Cho Nam throws out I catch. Cho Nam improvised his lines more, Hui Koon Man did so less. I heard that when he made PRIVATE EYE BLUES (BOON GUN BAK LEUNG) he was all prepared and wouldn't make any change."

In the story the lead deleted people that he disliked and became popular. Yip Lim Sum revealed that the concept came from his prank idea. The ending brought out a positive message to cherish, to make people know that things that did not go their way could become motivation. On the other hand people who got their way might not be happy either.
