So this one is better or Drifting Flowers?
Well I don't know but in think Drifting Flower was a little bit better.
They're 2 different stories so actually I can't compare.
Only they are both lesbian movies from the same director.
But anyway my rating is a little bit lower than Drifting Flower LOL

Interest story but a little bit weird!
It's an open ending right?
The Xiao Lu's character is a little bit similar to mine.
Only without the webcam girl part of course.
She's just a girl that living in her past.
The good memory she don't want to forget!

After watching this movie I really want to get a tattoo LOL
But I'm just so chicken!

Great performance by Rainie & Isabella
In this movie you see an another part from Rainie.
Beside the cute side you also see the sexy drama side LOL
So pity that Isabella already leave the entertainment world!
She's just a great actress!
She just fit every role!

Isabella & Rainie are from the same age.
But in the movie Isabella plays someone who's much much older!

Nice to see Kris Shen & Jay Shih
Both guys I saw in Gloomy Salad Days.
But what I can say?!
They both don't look like in here LOL
Love them much much more in GSD!

Also nice to see Ivy Chen in a cameo role.
And Pay Chih Ying, who was also in Drifting Flowers

Anyway if you curious about the kiss scene.
Go check it online LOL
I got it on the Special feature DVD under Deleted Scene HAHAHA

Year: 2008
Country: Taiwan
Running Time: 98 min

Genre: Drama/Gay
Rating: 8.1

3 different segments that are connected with each other over the years.
The drama shows us the world of the gay/lesbian from different sides.
There's nothing wrong if you born in a wrong body or you love the same sex.
And think this drama show some strong look at their world.

What a wonderful drama from director Zero Chou.
Who's a lesbian in real life.
She's also the director of Spider Lilies with Rainie Yang & Isabelle Leong.
I've also got that one on DVD.
Will catch it later.

Great acting from all the cast.
Really superb!
It wasn't an easy role to play for all of the cast!

I've bought this movie because Serena & Chao Yi Lan
When I finished Gloomy Salad Days [both were in there]
I was so attractive by Chao Yi Lan [This sound so fault]
and I really didn't know she was a girl!
She's also a lesbian in real life.
I'm surely catching her movies & drama!
She's really great. And also in this movie.
Her debut movie!
