Three Dumplings

Bibi, wanting to comfort her childhood friend Chichi after his breakup, invites their mutual friend A-Fei to join them. The three of them chat while making dumplings, but in all the playful chaos, their cherished childhood keepsake—a heart-shaped stone ring—disappears. They search the entire living room but find nothing. They start to suspect that the heart-shaped stone might have been wrapped inside the dumplings. To make sure, Bibi and A-fei cook and eat the dumplings they had spent the entire afternoon making, leading to a heated argument with Chichi. In the end, they spend the entire afternoon in vain, leaving only three "dumplings" on the table.

Directed by Lin Ron-Ren, Three Dumplings leans on a strong ensemble — Yu-Hsing Lo, Tseng Po-hsiang, Kuo Tai-yun — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
