Passing By

An ophthalmologist numbs his past with eye drops, drifting into visions born of childhood trauma. When he meets a mysterious patient named Pin-Hong, the line between reality and illusion begins to blur. As his assistant Eve prepares to leave his fractured world, he must face a painful choice: to remain in the gentle comfort of illusion, or to truly see the world as it is.

Directed by Leung Chak Long, Passing By leans on a strong ensemble — Cory Peng, Lin Ya-fen, Wang Wei-chung — 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 2025.
