- Again the trailer begins with an uptempo track
- Immediately the male protagonist is shown as being completely unromantic and wrong for the female lead and the female lead makes it clear she wants nothing to do with him
- The obstacle is then made clear- the orphaned baby brings the two together
- At this point the music becomes slower and more sad sounding
- The music becomes more uptempo again
- Comical elements are involved in the trailer
- Several shots show that the two clearly don't get along
- At the beginning of the trailer the two are shown as separate sides of the frame or even in separate shots
- Again shots show the two protagonists fighting and struggling with the baby
- The music then changes again- although it is still uptempo it has more of a romantic sound rather than a comical sound
- Slowly the characters are shown closer and closer together and they are also show to be getting along and laughing together
- The two start to get along and it is beginning to become clear that the obstacle (the baby) is actually what will bring them together
- A montage of shots shows them getting along and acting as a family
- The trailer then shows them actually being romantically involved, hinting that they eventually do end up together and they overcome the obstacle
