Love in Taipei

Love in Taipei is a 2023 American romantic comedy film directed by Arvin Chen, starring Ross Butler, Ashley Liao and Nico Hiraga.

When she arrives at Huwei, she is surprised to learn that many of the students tag the program as "Loveboat," as they see it as an opportunity to party and have a fun summer making new friends and relationships.

Soon, Ever finds herself making fast friends with Sophie Ha, who happens to be the cousin of Rick "Wonder Boy" Woo, a popular Taiwanese American student studying economics at Yale who Ever's mother has been comparing her to for years due to his academic and athletic accomplishments.

Slowly, Ever starts breaking out of her shell and spends her time exploring the city and partying with Rick and Sophie, all while reconnecting with her mother's sister Auntie Shu who lives in Taipei, and happens to own a studio where she can practice her dance audition.

At the same time, Sophie dumps Xavier who she had been dating because he embarrassed her in front of the family by sharing his plans of wanting to travel the country in a van.

With some encouragement from Xavier, Ever starts moving forward, and has her friends help restore Auntie Shu's studio, as well as practicing her Mandarin dancing for the upcoming Loveboat Street Festival to celebrate artists work that had been damaged in the storm as well as give the Huwei students opportunity to showcase the culture and talents they had learned over the summer.
