This Love Drama Club

Plot Summary
Fangfang Jiang, a Chinese lesbian, meets a homosexual man Zhihao Jia at an agency for marriages of convenience. Though both of them have their own committed same-sex relationships, parental and societal pressure pushes them to wed. However, their marriage is not as smooth-sailing as they expect. Jiang and Jia have to struggle to dispel their parents’ doubts while staying committed to their partners. Then, issues from the marriage itself slowly come into view, as the protagonists wrestle with traditional marriage commitment. Meanwhile, their parents seem to have deep secrets. It will be revealed that both come from families with more than one skeleton in the closet, adding to the dramatic tension of the piece.

Background
