Taiwanese gay-themed soap, Crystal Boys(孽子)

Based on the novel of same title, Crystal Boys portrays gay boys who became outsiders because their home and society couldn't embrace them. Most of the music used in the soap was conducted by Tan Zong-pei, a famous Taiwanese cello player. I bought the OST recently. This is the dvd cover of the soap. Thanks to one of my friends, I could buy the dvd set. All I need to do is to learn Chinese...???

Taiwanese Movie, Girlfriend Boyfriend(女朋友 男朋友, G*F B*F)

Recently, I had a chance to visit Taiwan. During the stay, I came across the movie posters of this movie at many places. I could detect that there must be something gay-themed in this movie. The title itself and the poster said there's something between two male lead characters.  But I didn't have the chance to watch the movie. After some research on the net, I came to know that my guess was right. In the trailer, the male characters even kissed each other.  In Korea, the movie seems to be premiered at the Busan International Film Festival(BIFF, former PIFF).
