Interesting facts

Sophie's Revenge is a 2009 Chinese-Korean co-production starring Zhang Ziyi, So Ji-sub, Fan Bingbing, Ruby Lin, Peter Ho, and Yao Chen.

Production

Sophie's Revenge is written and directed by Chinese-American filmmaker Eva Jin. The "memory box boy" from the film came from a dream that director Eva Jin had. Lead Zhang Ziyi co-financed the film, according to Sina.com. The project was announced by the South Korean company CJ Entertainment at the Busan International Film Festival in 2008.

Sophie's Revenge is Zhang Ziyi's first appearance in such an avant-garde film. Compared to many of Zhang's other films, it has a more ordinary and simple plot and a contemporary setting. The story, set in Beijing, features top Asian stars and Chinese remakes of bouncy K-pop songs, but shows no hint of regional color and strictly limits the camera to cosmopolitan venues like gyms and modern art galleries.

The rights to the English version of "Perfect Match" were bought by the American production company Mosaic Media Group, and Jin Yimeng became the first person in China to have her script adapted by the United States.
