Aloysius Pang ( Timeless Love), Joshua Tan ( Ah Boys to Men) & Malaysian You Tube singer-songwriter Joyce Chu strive for their dreams through cosplay in the Singapore comedy-drama Young & Fabulous. Directed by Michael Woo & Joyce Lee, the coming-of-age film revolves around a trio of high school students who come from different backgrounds, but bond over a shared interest in cosplay. Young & Fabulous highlights the generation gap between teenagers & parents & the conflict of values & dreams in a competitive society that prizes practicality over creativity & individuality. Veteran stars like Gurmit Singh, Henry Thia, Quan Yi Fong & Constance Song co-star as parents & educators. Singer Ferlyn Wong & the members of pop band The Sam Willows also appear in the film.
Introverted top student & aspiring fashion designer Royston (Aloysius Pang) becomes unlikely friends with street-smart Hao Ren (Joshua Tan) & attention-seeking violet (Joyce Chu) due to his interest in making cosplay costumes. While the three find fun, friendship & meaning in their secret hobby, their parents are less than understanding when they discover the teens are devoting time & money to cosplay instead of academics.
