Naming of Show

The show's title in Chinese is an idiom, which translates to "If we are predestined to meet, we will". One of the characters in the original idiom (有, meaning "yes"), was swapped by another character (友, meaning "friends"), which turns the meaning of the title to "We are predestined as friends, and we are meeting [again]".

Future of Show

It was speculated that the show was to go longer than 32 episodes, with Lydia Shum traveling to Australia and other countries to interview more former celebrities. However, by the time the show was completed, Shum's health was failing, and production was halted at 32 episodes. It has been speculated that TVB has made plans for Joyce Cheng, Lydia's daughter, to host the show after Shum passes on. Shum died on 19 February 2008.
