Blue Gate Crossing

High schooler Yueh-chen is fixated on her classmate Shihao, a star of the school swimming team, but she is too shy to tell him how she feels. She asks her closest friend, Kerou, to approach him on her behalf. The plan goes sideways when Shihao becomes drawn to Kerou instead, leaving the three teenagers caught in feelings none of them can easily sort out. Kerou, for her part, is unsure how to respond to his attention, and her own confusion about who she wants complicates matters further as the friends drift into unfamiliar emotional territory.

Blue Gate Crossing is a Taiwanese coming-of-age drama directed and written by Yee Chih-yen. It was his first feature, made before About Love, and was produced by Peggy Chiao and Hsu Hsiao-Ming, with backing from companies in Taiwan and France. The cast is led by Gwei Lun-mei as Kerou, Chen Bolin as Shihao and Liang Yolin as Yueh-chen.
