Sweet movie
snowyprecipice26 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Sweet family-oriented movie about a mother who finds out her grown daughter had a mixed child overseas, and comes back to Taiwan to raise the child. It shows how she struggles to come to terms with this and reconcile with her mother (her kid's grandmother) because it's seen as a disgrace to the rest of the extended family. There's a balance of humour, family, love and a bit of drama in this movie.

The other lead is her son, a gay man already in an established relationship with the cutest guy ever (and they're so cute together!). He doesn't tell his mom he's gay because she already has enough on her plate, but it's shown that his mom eventually accepts her daughter's child into her heart, which implies that her love for her kids overcame her stigma. So it's probable that she'll accept her son for who he is in the future (which is not shown in the movie).

I thought it was a great, sweet watch. The mother is such a grumpy sweetheart, and she acted really well. The mixed child was such a cute little girl too! And the male lead and his partner are just so lovely together. Watched it twice. (:
