Ah Xin, Xiao
Shu and Michael is a bunch of youngsters that like rock and roll. When
they first started, they formed a band and performed in a Pub. They met
up with gangsters who was causing trouble and bullying them. Ah Xin, who
has a hot temper tried to protect Xiao Shu and got into a fight with
them causing them to all be taken to the police station. The owner, who
was timid and afraid of getting into more trouble, didn't let them stay
and continue to perform anymore. In succession, the guitar player, the
keyboard player and the bass player starts to leave and the band was
forced to disband. In order to make a living, lead vocalist, Ah Xin,
goes to sell clothing at the night market. Xiao Shu felt very sorry over
what happened and they both had some disagreements but these disputes
cause them to be drawn closer to each other. In order to encourage Ah
Xin, Xiao Shu quietly makes a CD with the song that Ah Xin created and
mailed it to different record companies.
Not being able to play drums, Michael could only go and register to take
a class in being a pilot. Being a pilot is a dream that he has had
outside of music. There is a love story behind this dream that no one
has known about. At the airport, he accidentally gets acquainted with
his ex-girlfriend, Kai Ruo, who is a flight attendant. Seeing Kai Ruo
get into her new boyfriend, Ban Sen's luxurious car, he feels a
loneliness in his heart that he doesn't know how to explain.
Xiao Shu, lead female vocalist, returns back to the spa hotel to help
out. This spa hotel is managed by her mother and the owner is actually
her mother's lover, Zhang. Zhang already has a family and he doesn't
have any intention of getting a divorce. Xiao Shu doesn't understand why
her mother would want to guard this type of unclear relationship but her
mother also has her own unspeakable secrets.
Rich girl, Xiao Hui is the band's fan. She enthusiastically introduce a
bass player and keyboard player to the group. Their music is a bit
confusing but their attitude is arrogant - have an exaggerated opinion
of their own abilities. Due to the fact that the bass player's family
opens a restaurant, it helps supply their performances and so Ah Xin and
the rest of the gang is forced to accept them with much difficulty.
Xiao Hua and Tomi are from Hong Kong. For the purpose of chasing their
music dreams, they came to Taipei to look for an opportunity. But
reality isn't as accommodating as one hopes it to be. Real life forces
them to only be able to stake out in a bar to play the electronic
keyboard and to eat the spoiled soups from the bar for a living. The
money that they earn is spent on the renting of a recording room to make
and produce a demo. Sometimes, they don't even have enough to pay for
the rent and their days become harder and harder to get through.
Fortunately, Tomi's aunt comes to Taipei for a vacation. Xiao Hua
secretly goes to the music shop to sell his beloved bass without letting
Tomi know. As a result, he gets acquainted with the music shop's
assistant, Chris.
Xiao Hua takes the money that he sold the bass for and invites Tomi and
his aunt to a high class restaurant to eat and show the aunt that they
are getting along very well in Taipei.
That day, Ah Xin and the gang has their first performance. The
performances of the two guys that Xiao Hui introduced were out of tune
and the band’s performance was forced to be discontinued. Xiao Hua
couldn’t stand it and pulled Tomi onto the stage to perform on the spot
and also to let Tomi's aunt see what skills they have. Their exquisite
music skills left a deep profound impression on Ah Xin and the gang...
Chris comes from a well-educated traditional family. Since he was young,
he has been submerged in the gracefulness of classical music. However,
his dream is to form a band and make rock and roll music. Just when he
is on the verge of heading towards New York's The Julliard School to
further his study in music, he gets acquainted with Xiao Hua, who is
selling off his bass. Therefore, under fate's arrangement, he got
together with Ah Xin, Michael, Xiao Shu, Xiao Hua and Tomi.
Even though Ah Xin likes Xiao Shu but he still kept his distance from
her. At this time, Xiao Shu's boyfriend, Li Xin has completed his
studies and is returning back to the country. After several years of
being separated, their morals, thinkings, views, and habits have
developed an enormous difference. Although they both tried hard to
accommodate and suit each other but in the end, they were no match for
suspicions and jealousies. Xiao Shu is confronted with the dangerous
situation of almost being violated by her mother's roommate, with the
crisis of losing her voice, and the future of the band… all these tests.
Under Ah Xin's gentle concern, the two of them gradually develops more
feelings.
On a certain night, the owner of a Pub, Linda's car had a flat tire and
had to be abandoned on the roadside. Ah Xin and the gang just happens to
pass by and gives her a hand. From then on, Shin has a place to perform,
"Strawberry Garden." Seeing each other everyday causes Michael and Linda
to become good friends that talk about everything. Michael's happiness
and contentment influenced Linda and from Linda's calm analysis of life
and love, Michael finds answers and is enlightened. But when faced with
their own relationship problems, they both don’t know what to do and
feels helpless.
Even though Xiao Shu lost her voice and couldn't go on stage to sing,
but her heart is still connected to the band. She succeeded in
convincing John to resign from his work at the record company and come
out again to work as the band's manager. After many twists and turns,
they finally found a record company that is willing to help Shin release
an album. They use a fighting attitude to throw themselves completely
into creating and recording this album. After this low production cost
album was released, it received a tremendous response from the public.
John who has been loitering around all his life finally succeeds.
Producer Lin, who's a business proprietor all along, finally
acknowledges John's perseverance toward music. The girls' group that he
has formed awhile back with his own money had a tragic ending and he was
forced to resign from his position as producer.
On the eve of when the album is to be released, Qian Qian returns. Will
she oppose of Chris's path down the road of rock and roll? Along with
the popularity of Shin, there is a whole flock of female fans that would
run after Ah Xin everyday. Xiao Shu starts to feel more and more
inferior with each passing day and she quietly leaves Ah Xin…
After many hardships and struggles, the band's first concert finally
opens. They are like a bunch of tigers that are running out of a
mountain coming out on stage – full of energy. With their resounding and
bright voice, they sang out their love for music, for life. This is
Shin's perseverance - a story concerning hope and love.
