Taiwanese media reports say that Chou and Lin even had to go to Verona, Italy to shoot some of the scenes. It accentuated the romantic ballad by giving the clip a Shakespearean feel to it as they have used 'Romeo and Juliet' as a theme for the production.

The music video begins with a scene depicting Chou and Lin working as baristas at a shop in Verona. The two stars play a couple in the music clip, but as it progresses, it is shown that Lin has to leave soon for Taiwan. Despite that, Chou does nothing to hold Lin back on her decision. After leaving Chou in Italy, Lin starts a new life in Taiwan and meets another man.

According to media reports, the music video for the song is the third time that Chou and Lin have worked on together.

Lin, who has just tied the knot with Charles Lin last Christmas eve, praised Chou's work ethic, saying that the singer likes to try new things. "Once he decides on something, he will give it his all," said the actress, further adding that she considers Chou as a very ambitious and capable artist.

In return, Chou, who will be tying the knot as well with Quinlivan next month, has also praised Lin for her acting skills. He claimed that Lin's crying scenes had been touching. "Ariel is an amazing talent," says Chou, and teasingly said that it is no wonder that Lin is the Film Queen.

Chou also wrote the lyrics to the song himself. The song is all about losing someone whom one has taken for granted. 'What Kind of Man' will be included in his album 'Aiyo, Not Bad' which is slated for release on December 26.
