Asian Drama

Xia Tian, Jia Jiang, Fang Wei, and Bulu grew up on Westside Street together and currently study at Ying Ye School. It's one month away from graduation.

Xia Tian's dad is a police officer on Westside Street and is retiring. But on the day of his retirement, the kids had a fight with the Dinosaur gang at school and were almost expelled. When Officer Xia went to settle the conflict, his gun was misplaced by the principal. After a discussion, it was decided that the students would remain in the school, but they must find the gun within the one month before graduation to let Officer Xia retire peacefully and happily.

While searching for the missing gun, they discovered that an ex-convict Grey Wolf who escaped from prison may be connected with the missing gun. And more surprisingly, Grey Wolf is has been in close contact with the students at Ying Ye.

18 year-old Ai lives the life of a mischievous teenager. She ignores her studies, putting all her passion into baking cakes that always come out burnt, lopsided, or hard as a rock. Ai cannot imagine a greater happiness than one day making the perfect pastry, until someone new walks into her life and Ai discovers some things in life are sweeter than cake.

This is Miao Miao, a shy exchange student from Japan. Yet behind Miao Miao’s modest exterior hides a master chef. Miao Miao teaches Ai the delicate art of baking and Ai introduces Miao Miao to Taipei’s ugliest snack, chicken feet. Both girls promise to make this year special. The year Miao Miao will do everything she’s not allowed to do at home.

Ai imagines this as a life where they can do whatever they want. Get a tattoo or a belly button ring. A life away from her estranged father. But for Miao Miao, this means finding her first love. The kind of love her grandmother still talks about, even after Alzheimer’s has erased all other memories.

As the year’s big baking competition nears, Miao Miao spends less time by the oven and more time in a second-hand CD shop (once, it was a cake shop where Miao Miao’s grandma first found love as a young girl). Its owner, Chen Fei, shuts out the world, using his headphones like earplugs. Miao Miao makes it her mission to uncover what past sadness has led him to hate music so much. But when Ai realizes Miao Miao is falling in love with Chen Fei, Ai discovers her feelings for Miao Miao may go deeper than she ever expected.

That summer, Miao Miao and Ai learned what it is to love. Their summer together perhaps did not last long. But life’s emotional journey is just beginning.

Taipei in the 1970's was a very intolerant place for homosexuals. This story is about a young man named A Qing whose family cut him off because of his sexual orientation.
