Music videos
editIn the music video of "愛就對了" (Just Love), Hebe and Bryant Chang play a couple in a war of love. Because of the difference in their heights, the scene where they needed to jump and hug mid-air took about 50 tries to complete.[8] The MV for "你不會" (You Won't) stars Taiwanese actress Li Jia Ying as the female lead.
