    • Synopsis
    • A coming-of-age story of a group of teenage friends, who overcome all challenges and obstacles to fulfil their dreams. On their journey of self-discovery, they also learn the meaning of friendship, the different perspectives in parent-child and teacher-student relationships, and ultimately the need to have the courage to stand up for what they believe in.

      Bonded through a fondness for cosplay, the three friends help each other out at school and empower each other to become better individuals. Unfortunately, their hobby is discovered by Violet’s mother, who then reports to Royston’s parents and Hao Ren’s father. All the parents strongly object to their involvement in cosplay, as they believe that it is a juvenile and strange hobby that wastes time and effort. They blame the three for overindulging in cosplay and losing their focus in their studies, warning them to discontinue their involvement in the hobby or risk getting into deeper trouble with them. The three friends are in a dilemma. Should they continue to pursue what they love in spite of their families’ strong objection, or give up what they have been fighting for and return to their old selves?

      In this competitive era with an education system that focuses on academic excellence, how will the younger generation find courage and confidence, have dreams and hopes, in a society that values practicality over creativity?
