Asian Drama

Eight lonely souls search for the companions that will make their lives complete in this ensemble drama set in Taipei and Beijing. The captain of her college cycling team and a devoted daughter who's never too busy to lend a hand at the family restaurant, Yi Jia faces tough decisions when she finds herself embroiled in an ill-fated love affair. Meanwhile, wealthy businessman, Lu, wrestles with his commitment to glamorous actress Zoe Fang, who is caught up in her own emotional turmoil about love. Subsequently returning to Beijing to consider purchasing a lavish new home, wealthy Mark finds himself strangely drawn to his feisty real estate agent. He senses a substance that's been missing from his pampered life, and begins to wonder if he may have been looking for love in all the wrong places.

Taipei. A voice off-camera looks back ten years to 2000, when Vicky was in an on-again off-again relationship with Hao-Hao. She's young, lovely, and aimless. He's a slacker. Cigarettes and alcohol fuel her nights. We see bits of her life: when Hao-Hao steals his father's Rolex and the police detain them; when she gets a job as a club hostess, where she meets Jack, who becomes her patron and protector; when Hao-Hao comes to the club, insisting on talking to her; when she visits Yubari, Japan, for its film festival in the dead of winter; when Jack must go to Japan to straighten out trouble caused by one of his acolytes. Does Vicky have any expectations? Does time simply pass?
