♫ You are like the sea ♫

♫ Every single day ♫

♫ You keep waiting ♫

♫ No matter if I come or not ♫

♫ A sudden gust of wind ♫

♫ Messed up my hairstyle ♫

♫ But it brought us together ♫

♫ Only then did I discover how much I love who I am ♫

♫ Only you ♫

♫ Remind me of myself ♫

♫ The one who used to love smiling ♫

♫ Why did I lose my smile? ♫

♫ Unable to find a way out ♫

♫ I stand by the sea, feeling the breeze ♫

♫ Only you ♫

♫ Remind me of myself and what I desire ♫

♫ I've finally learned that after all my overthinking ♫

♫ What I want the most ♫

♫ Is to go to the seaside And feel the breeze with you ♫

[Breeze by the Sea]

Hey.

I'm going to learn square dancing from the village chief's wife.

Do you want to join me?

You can go alone.

Are you sure?

My dancing is hilarious.

Would you like to join me for a drink with Mr. Fu Shou?

Okay, well...

Do you think...

Aren't you coming?

No.

Then what will I talk about with Mr. Fu Shou?

Let me do the cooking.

Okay.

I'll get some work done.

Let me know when you're done.

Okay.

What?

Hello, this is Sea Breeze Guesthouse.

I'll connect you to the AI booking assistant.

Sorry, but we don't have any rooms available right now.

To express our deepest apologies,

we will now play a classic song for our valued guest.

What are you doing?

Grandpa, we'll wait for Dr. Chen to park his car.

He'll check your blood pressure and blood sugar later.

Today, I'll teach you all how to draw.

Xu Man.

Let's go.

Man Man and I...

Man Man's drawing...

- Drawing... - Right.

He probably wants to see the painting you did before.

Do you like this painting?

I was going to add some color before giving it to you.

If you like it, I can put it up for you later.

Man Man.

Grandpa.

Man Man.

Grandpa.

Let's go.

Hey, look.

I've been driving slower lately,

and there are fewer small rocks scraping off the paint,

so you don't need to keep fixing it.

By the way, I remember there's still a spot at the back of the car

where we could add a design.

Next time, teach me

and we can do it together.

My agent helped me apply

to stay at the International Art Village in Paris for a while.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

No way.

Are you kidding me?

It's true.

This is such an important matter.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I was going to leave without saying goodbye.

I'm really afraid of farewells.

Sometimes, I get too emotional and dramatic.

When someone goes abroad to pursue something,

don't people usually congratulate them?

Congratulations.

What time are you leaving tomorrow?

I'll see you off.

You know I'm not used to saying goodbye.

You're back, so I'm back, too.

Let's eat.

Thank you.

There can't be any other candidate, right?

Not necessarily.

Of course, it has to be me.

I'm the one who chose the nickname Little Bean Sprout.

Are you in such a hurry to be her godfather?

This is the first time in my life

I've ever fought to be a godfather.

Godfather.

Do you want to see your goddaughter?

Sure. Let's go.

We'll be right back.

Your daughter is really adorable.

Look at her nose.

It's exactly like yours.

Of course. Look who gave birth to her.

Look at how much hair she has.

When she's a bit older,

I'll give her the same hairstyle as yours.

Sure. The curlier the better.

Shun Hua, it's about time.

I'm going to meet someone.

Who?

I'll tell you later.

Take care.

Say goodbye to your godfather.

Your goddaughter is really adorable.

I'll get going.

Little Bean Sprout, your godmother is here to see you.

Grandma.

Lately,

you must have been really worried about me.

Today,

I'm here

to tell you that...

A little princess

has arrived in our village

and I'm her godmother.

It's a shame you couldn't see her come into this world.

I know...

I know you were looking forward to it, too.

I know that

you're with my parents now,

so I don't need to worry about you anymore.

Today, I came to tell you

I'll be fine.

You don't need to worry about me either.

Because I'm not alone anymore.

Grandma.

You take care too, okay?

I'll really, really miss you.

And I'll keep moving forward.

Grandma.

Goodbye.

Attention, passengers.

Passengers for flight A1C26

the plane is about to take off.

Please proceed to Gate 12 if you have yet to board.

Xu Man.

Where are you going?

Let me check.

Kaohsiung.

How do you not know where you're going?

Didn't you buy the ticket?

I bought it in a rush.

It's a ticket to enter the boarding area.

Well, I left the key to my studio in the usual spot.

If you need it,

feel free to use it.

Don't be shy.

It'll just go to waste if it stays there.

Okay.

Attention, passengers.

- Flight A1C26 is about to take off. - I'm going to board now.

Please proceed to Gate 12 if you have yet to board.

Xu Man.

If you don't make

new friends in Paris,

you can call me at night.

We can video call,

have some drinks,

and talk like before.

It'll be morning for you though.

Right. There's a time difference.

But that's fine.

I can get used to waking up early

and drinking in the morning.

You're a doctor.

Wouldn't drinking so early be bad?

But with you gone,

I'll feel out of place.

When we had instant noodles on the car roof,

I only congratulated you.

I forgot to tell you

I'll miss you a lot.

Have a safe journey.

I can't wait to see your new work in Paris.

Okay.

Take care.

Make sure to look after yourself.

I brought the mosquito coil up for you.

Where should I put it?

Just put it on the table.

Thank you.

What story are you working on?

I'll share it with you when I'm done.

I see.

Tomorrow, I'm visiting Shun Hua and You Cai

for some field research.

Do you want to come along?

You go ahead. I have things to do.

I won't bother you then. Get some rest.

- Good night. - Good night.

Acting cool won't help.

What do you want me to see?

Up there.

Do I need to go up?

What is this?

A gecko.

My grandma says geckos represent protection and wealth.

It's a good thing.

Does it just catch mosquitoes?

How could it have so much meaning?

Catching mosquitoes is good, too.

That way, you won't need mosquito coils.

How funny.

How funny.

That little gecko has grown so big.

Maybe we should take it out for a walk tomorrow.

Now what? Acting cute won't help either.

We'll see tomorrow.

Good night.

You said this would work.

[A Month Later]

I don't need to worry about those small rocks anymore.

But that doesn't mean you can drive fast.

I don't want to keep fixing the paint all the time.

You gave up your dreams.

Do you have any regrets?

That depends on how you define dreams.

Maybe dreams aren't just

about creative breakthroughs,

but also about sharing a drink and conversations

with people you connect with.

Should we find time

to paint the back of the car?

Excuse me, is anyone here?

Hi, welcome to Sea Breeze Guesthouse.

Are you the guests who booked for two days?

- Yes. - Okay. Just a moment.

Look...

That's sorghum.

You can use it to make a broom.

I see. That's quite unique.

It's quite special.

Could you take a photo for me?

Sure. Over there. It's prettier.

- All right. Make it look nice. - Come on.

Breakfast here is at seven o'clock.

If you'd like to change it, just let me know.

- Okay, thank you. - Look here.

Smile. Perfect.

Is this your first time in Kinmen?

Yes, it is.

Is there anything fun to do here?

Any must-see spots or restaurants?

For must-try restaurants, I recommend Xinda Temple Restaurant.

But they recently switched to a reservation system.

If you'd like to go, I can make a reservation for you.

In the afternoon, you can head to AKIO for coffee

and hear the owner share about Kinmen's history.

He's really good at storytelling.

Here, have some tea.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

What you're doing is wonderful.

Running a guesthouse together seems so romantic.

The boss isn't here.

We're just friends helping out.

You two are a couple, right?

We're good friends.

Good friends who can drink and chat together.

I see.

More like soulmates.

Da Wu.

Nothing much. I just changed my daughter's diaper.

I'm trying to be a good dad.

Lunchtime?

Two people?

Okay. Bye.

Honey, Da Wu just called and said

two people from the guesthouse are coming for lunch.

I'll go prepare the ingredients.

I'll leave our daughter to you.

I told you.

I can handle it by myself.

Go on and take care of your work.

I want to spend every second with my two precious girls.

Hurry up and go.

I'll get going.

This is the village chief speaking.

We hope that our villagers can all ride the wind

- and head toward their dreams. - Hi.

- Two Americanos. - Even when facing difficulties,

even when encountering obstacles,

as long as you stay true to your heart,

victory will be yours in the end.

All right. Enough with the nonsense.

Master.

Why do Mr. Fu Shou and his wife sound so excited today?

Because today is the day.

Right. It's today.

Exactly.

The most important thing is

don't forget to tune in

to the live broadcast of the press conference later.

- If... - If you don't know where to watch it,

check the announcement in our group.

That's all for now.

That's all for now.

Do you have any thoughts?

Can I recreate the only painting I've ever done in my life?

No drawing a bunch of "ZZZ" this time.

Are you really that tired?

Let me think about it.

Maybe we should help Hai Nuo customize her truck, too.

What do you think?

Sure.

I remember she mentioned that she wanted to repaint her truck.

Let's surprise her with it.

It sounds good.

What do you think about painting it blue?

Blue?

Blue is nice.

Because the guesthouse...

I know you can't make it. It's okay.

I'll go over for dinner after I'm done here.

Okay.

Mom, make sure to add some meatballs for me.

- Bye. - Boss.

Okay.

Really? But I didn't invite him.

- It's fine. - Yin Mo.

Director Bai.

Director White.

- It has been a while. - Yes, it has been a while.

You look handsome today.

Not as handsome as you.

My whole family is here.

My parents.

My two sisters came all the way from Canada

because they're huge fans of yours.

Yes, we love your movies.

Your acting is amazing.

- Thank you. - Xiao Guang, take a photo for us.

Come on.

Okay, three, two, one.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Xiao Guang, can you show my parents their seats?

- But we didn't prepare... - Let them sit in the front row.

All right. Ma'am, please follow me.

Congratulations.

Here's the thing.

Being a director doesn't pay well,

so I'm thinking of switching back to acting.

Do you have any roles in your movie that would suit me?

I'm open to anything.

Even minor roles are fine.

- This movie... - To all our guests,

the event is about to start.

If you haven't taken your seats, please do so quickly.

We'll keep in touch.

Definitely.

I've lost weight, right?

- Yes. - I've successfully slimmed down.

[Breeze By the Sea]

Thank you to the talented Wang Yue Shan for her amazing performance.

She's a rising star promoted by Xinghai Films

and she played a significant role in this movie.

Please look forward to it.

Thank you.

Hello, everyone. I'm today's host.

I'm also the producer of this movie.

My name is Xue Meng Li.

First, I'd like to thank all the journalists and guests

for attending our press conference.

Now, I'd like to introduce a very important person.

He's the star of today.

He's also the director and screenwriter of this movie

and the general manager of Xinghai Films.

Let's give a warm welcome to Mr. Bai Yin Mo.

Hello, everyone from the media.

I'm Bai Yin Mo.

Yin Mo, I heard that the inspiration for this movie

came from your time shooting a reality show in Kinmen.

That was the lowest point in your life.

Can you share with us

what happened back then?

A year ago,

this hand of mine

caused quite a bit of trouble,

which led to all my endorsements and jobs being canceled.

My manager at the time

sent me to Kinmen

to keep me out of trouble.

Nobody expected that

during the lowest point in my life,

I'd receive so much warmth and inspiration.

Son, I love you!

I'll make more money.

In the future, I'll buy you as many TVs as you want.

- Bro. - Bro.

Bros forever.

Resting is just for the sake of resting.

Sometimes, you should relax without any purpose...

- Okay. - Yes.

And enjoy doing nothing.

What do these English words mean?

It means I'll be back.

Okay.

I'll be waiting for your return.

My manager at the time

was really pitiful.

I quit the reality show midway

which caused her company to shut down

and she had to survive on nothing for an entire year.

Yes.

But luckily, Yin Mo values old ties

and had the courage to bring me back,

giving me a chance to start over.

Lily has been nurturing me since I was in high school.

She's like family to me.

Conflicts happen in families,

but in the end, family is family.

We share joys and weather storms together.

You know what I mean.

That year was really tough for you.

However, it also transformed you into a creator.

Can you share your story with everyone?

My movie tells the story

of a lost sea urchin

who is redeemed by a starfish.

I know it sounds fantastical and absurd,

but it's also deeply moving.

Yin Mo, there's a group of your good friends

who want to share some words with you.

Let's take a look.

Is it connected?

It has started.

- It has started. - Really?

Hello to all our friends in Taipei.

I'm Chen Fu Shou, the village chief of Sea Breeze Village.

Today,

on behalf of the villagers of Sea Breeze Village,

we have something important to share with you all!

Hello, everyone. My name is Cai You Cai.

Last year, an unusual breeze came from who knows where

brought Mr. Bai Yin Mo to our village.

In our village, every resident has their own style.

My son, for example, is modern

and I have a touch of artistic elegance.

I'm like a warm breeze.

I'm an invigorating strong breeze.

Some say I'm like a swift breeze.

I might just be a refreshing breeze.

Some are like a cheerful spring breeze.

He's an unruly breeze.

I'm the local grandmotherly breeze.

I'm the fresh breeze from outside.

I heard that our good friend, Mr. Bai Yin Mo,

wrote a new story.

He's going to bring out the bonds, longing,

optimism, resilience,

- and... - You Cai.

Get to the point.

The villagers here are all very happy and grateful.

Now, let's all say it together.

Best wishes for Breeze By the Sea!

May the movie be a great success!

Such adorable friends.

Will they be in the movie, too?

You'll have to watch the movie to find out.

All right.

To wrap up this press conference,

Yin Mo,

you have a little surprise, right?

Yes.

My movie, Breeze By the Sea,

is a collaboration with Li Hai Nuo, a very famous illustrator from Kinmen.

Let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Li Hai Nuo.

Say hello to everyone.

Ms. Li Hai Nuo's illustrations

have captured some of the most important moments of my life.

Do you have anything you'd like to share with everyone?

Hello, everyone. I'm Li Hai Nuo.

I feel deeply honored to have the opportunity

to be part of this work with Yin Mo.

Actually,

when I first read the script,

I was really moved.

So, I decided to draw what I felt at that moment.

That led to this unexpected collaboration.

Did it also lead to your marriage?

You two are together now, right?

Aren't you planning to get married?

Is this your love story?

- Well... - All your questions just now

will be answered in Li Hai Nuo's animated illustrations.

Okay, thank you.

He was once a star in the sky,

but he plunged to the bottom of the sea.

The cold water turned the light into sharp spikes

and no one could get close to him.

The lost and helpless sea urchin

- met the cheerful starfish. - Bai Yin Mo!

Bai Yin Mo! Mr. Bai Yin Mo!

Bai Yin Mo.

Welcome to Kinmen.

How funny.

The sea urchin's long spikes stabbed the starfish.

Looks like you spent your budget on oil and salt.

Are you trying to send your guests to dialysis?

I need something light, please.

Fine. Starve then.

However, the starfish was fearless

and dragged the sea urchin out of the corner.

It's okay.

Let's go home.

The sea urchin silently put away its spikes

and he began to feel the beating of his heart.

Bro!

It's all right. I'm here.

It's okay, bro. I'm here.

It's okay. Your grandma is snoring.

It's really loud. Didn't you hear?

Don't cry.

The starfish continues to wrap the sea urchin with a sense of security.

The sea urchin is no longer afraid and the starfish is no longer lonely.

They cling tightly to each other.

Sea Breeze Village, the people here,

and you...

I'll only hold on to the best memories.

If a starfish is with you,

what's there to be afraid of?

A sudden storm

separated the sea urchin and starfish.

They were seriously injured and unable to move.

They were worried about each other.

I'll help take care of her, too.

But they had no strength to move toward each other.

I need some time to cool down.

I'll put it away.

The sea urchin

bravely walks toward the pristine light

with its initial longing.

I don't want to be the same person as before.

I will no longer hold onto my resentment toward you.

It's time for me to move on.

This time, the sea urchin carries its reborn radiance,

gently illuminating the starfish in the darkness.

You sent me so many messages.

What do you want?

I'm feeling a bit lost in life.

Are you willing to join me

on a journey to rediscover my direction?

Don't think acting pitiful will help.

But you still came up, didn't you?

Hey.

I heard there will be a UFO tonight.

I saw it on the news.

Do you want to watch it together?

UFO? Seriously?

Unidentified flying object.

Do you see that?

- That's a plane. - A plane.

If you're cold, just keep it on.

No need to take it off for me.

Why did you say I'm really famous?

I don't have any major works yet.

Because after you become my wife,

you'll be really famous.

When?

When?

Are you two really getting married?

Please focus on watching the video.

I told you. You can't hold that.

During the reality show, didn't they teach you to lower the mic?

Did I ever say I wanted to marry you?

No?

What were you drawing then?
