A very dynamic young lady, Lin, has a thing for Japanese culture while living in Taiwan.

The two start to interact through Facebook. During the golden week holiday, they finally met in person in Taiwan. Time passes quickly when they're together. After their first date, things seemed to move forward at the speed of light. They spent more time talking about their hopes, dreams, fears and finally came to a decision together to try and make things work, despite the circumstances.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a modern meet-cute, relying on the contrast between digital messaging and in-person chemistry to explore how connection forms across borders. It builds its charm through small, authentic moments that bridge cultural gaps.

Those who tire of cynical romances will find a sweet, earnest story about fate and digital serendipity. What lingers after is a gentle optimism about love's simple beginnings. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Yachida Akihisa
