聽說

































A simple romance about a happy-go-lucky delivery boy who pursues a young deaf girl. Taiwanese youth Tian Kuo (Eddie Peng) is a sloppy but lovable delivery boy who works in a Hong Kong-style restaurant for his nagging parents. For reasons initially unknown, Tian Kuo knows sign language, which helps him at the local pool where he sells lunchboxes to hard-of-hearing athletes training for competition. It's there that the deaf Yang Yang (Ivy Chen) catches Tian Kuo's eye. Yang Yang is perpetually dropping by the pool to cheer on elder sister Xiao Peng (Chen Yan-Xi), who trains at the pool and also possesses a hearing disability.
This is such a cute and simple movie~!!!
Most of it is in sign (too bad it was tw sign, so i couldn't understand any of it... except 'sit', apparently 'sit' is the same in tw sign and asl~ lol)
One of the last scenes with eddie's parents was so sweet~ =]

I saw this movie on a site where I usually stream HK/Taiwan/China dramas and movies. I was going to check it out but wasn't sure if it was good. Will watch this during my reading week break and let you know how I think of it. =)
