‘Loveboat, Taipei’: Ashley Liao & Ross Butler To Topline YA Romance From Ace Entertainment

Ashley Liao (Physical, Fresh Off the Boat) and Ross Butler (Netflix’s To All The Boys franchise, Shazam!) have signed on to star in Loveboat, Taipei, a romance film from ACE Entertainment and 1 Productions Film Co., which will enter production in Taipei later this month.

The film from director Arvin Chen (Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?) is based on Abigail Hing Wen’s New York Times bestselling novel of the same name. It centers on Ever Wong (Liao), whose summer takes an unexpected turn when her parents surprise her with a trip to Taipei for a cultural immersion program. Ever is surprised to discover that she hasn’t signed up for homework and history lessons, but instead for a summer-long free-for-all the locals and other students call “Loveboat.” It quickly lives up to its name when Ever finds herself trying not to fall for two attractive, but wildly different boys who are vying for her attention, while at the same time finding the courage to defy her parents’ high expectations and pursue her true passion: dancing.

Butler will play the dashingly handsome Rick Woo. Embarrassingly nicknamed “Boy Wonder” by the smitten Ever, Rick is an infamous prodigy in both sports and scholastics who has yet to meet his match… until he meets her.

Nico Hiraga (Booksmart) and Chelsea Zhang (Daybreak) are also on board to star, with Hiraga playing Xavier Yeh, the free-spirited heir to an international tech empire who is more interested in making art than he is in making millions—until he finds himself falling for Ever. Zhang will potray the confident and clever Sophie, Ever’s best friend at Loveboat who partners with her on an epic summer of exploration, love, heartbreak, and growth.

Loveboat, Taipei draws inspiration from its author’s own participation in the Loveboat program as a teen. The novel was published in January of 2020 by HarperTeen, an imprint of HarperCollins Children’s Books. Matt Kaplan’s Ace Entertainment (To All the Boys, The Perfect Date) is producing the film adaptation, with Butler and Wen serving as exec producers.

↳ there’s something vulnerable, almost little-boy lonely about him, left in the dust of his dad’s fancy car. he jams his hands into his pockets and heads into the crowd, dodging a family sucking from fresh coconuts through straws. the crowd closes over him like stage curtains.

Title: Human Pairing: Xavier Yeh | Loveboat in Taipei & Loveboat Reunion CWs: Xavier centric, implied Xavier x Sophie, University AU, takes place after Loveboat Reunion Rating: Teen Summary: What if Xavier went to University for Art? Word count: 492 A/N: I've almost finished reading Loveboat Reunion and I don't want it to end ;-; flufftober prompt: “What are you wearing?” “It’s laundry day!”

When Xavier closes the door of his room, he’s pressing his new sketchbook against a semi-crumpled shirt, the most formal one he brought to campus. He wanted the whole university experience, at least the first year. He didn’t want to stand out more than necessary, he wanted to blend in with the crowd. The private apartment would come next year, and Sophie could come hang out.

“Hey, Xavier.” Someone he shares a class with — probably painting or sculpting— waves at him from across the hallway. “What are you wearing?” 

He looks down at his silvery-lilac pants and the powder-white shirt like he doesn’t understand the question, when it’s obvious, it’s right there for them to see. Then something twitches in his gaze, like he’s seeing the outfit for the first time, like someone else chose it for him and dressed him. Like he forgot he owned something like it, and he looked fabulous in it. 

“It’s laundry day!” Xavier replies, and even if his tone is relaxed, the big goofy smile on his face as he looks back to his interlocutor manages to uplift his voice. 

It’s the fit Magic Mirror showed him, the one he ended wearing for that incredibly long night where so much changed. But at the same time, they are simply clothes too formal for him to enjoy wearing every single day. It has so much meaning that it’s heavy, although Xavier isn’t the type to want to preserve something out of fear that it will be worn down.  

“I thought you had a very special date today!” They give him a significant look, although Xavier cannot quite make out what it means. Do they know about Sophie? Is there anything he is forgetting? No, he isn’t that close with his classmates for them to know more about his private life than he does. “I see you like risking it with laundry.” 

“What can I say, I am not afraid of danger.” He shrugs, enjoying the little zap of connection that sharing a joke with someone gives him. “Maybe I’m just lazy.” 

The word tumbles from his lips faster than he can process it, and for a second a chill licks at his spine.  

“You mean you’re human? I’m barely feeding myself while keeping up with assignments.” They tilt their head back, making a face that contains all the exhaustion the past few weeks are packing. “See you.” With a small nod, they open their room door and disappear behind it. 

Human. The word bounces off Xavier’s mind, and for a few moments, he entertains the idea of colouring it. He has felt like he had to earn so much, like he was always subpar. The concept of his weakness, his flaws, proving that he’s human, seems rebellious to him. He licks his lower lip like he’s savouring this new realisation. He makes a mental note to talk to that classmate again. They may be onto something important.
