The One

Synopsis

Cane Lele is a young woman born into the fashion world: her mother, Ye Feii (also spelled Ye Fei Yi), was Taiwan's leading model, and her father also modeled. After their deaths in a plane crash, Lele is raised by a grandmother and grows up resenting the industry as shallow and unnecessary. At seventeen she is drawn back in by her aunt Ye Feihung (Ye Fei Hong), a former model turned fashion agent, who persuades her to pose. Lele's view shifts after she sees a shoot by American model Angus Lanson and begins to regard modeling as an art. Invited to a gathering of leading fashion ambassadors where Angus will attend, she looks forward to meeting him, unaware that his twin brother Eros Lanson is quietly tagging along. The premise centers on Lele's ambitions in New York: building a fashion career, becoming a top model, and a budding romance.
