Papa & Daddy

“What is a mommy?” Kaikai, who has just turned 7, asks Damian and Jerry. This is the first challenge that the two gay dads face. Without a proper answer for him, Damian and Jerry find themselves with questions of their own. Should they be full-time stay-at-home dads? Should Jerry be a YouTuber again? Should Kaikai go to kindergarten soon? As Papa and Daddy try to figure out who’s who and what’s what, the real mommy crisis shows up––– Jerry’s mother from Hualien has come to visit them.

“As long as you have heart, all love is perfect.” How did Damian, who is methodical and likes to plan, fall in love with Jerry who is spontaneous and loves surprises? Six years ago, Damian returned to Taiwan, when he invited Jerry––who had just started his own YouTube channel–– to help promote the opening of his new restaurant. The two fell in love at first sight and had superb chemistry both mentally and sexually. It was only when Damian revealed his plans of having kids did Jerry start to have doubts.

“All of the folks who parade today are remarkable and brave people.” Taipei Pride is here. Damian and Jerry take Kaikai to the parade; on the streets of Taipei where rainbow flags fly, the family of three promises that they would love each other to the moon and back. As the parade reaches its climax, Kaikai goes missing. Operation find the son, carried out by straight friends and gay friends alike, hence begins.

With Jimmy’s abrupt arrival to Taipei, Damian finds himself in the midst of a tough spot of having to help his teenage son from California adapt to a starkly different way of life in Taiwan and more pressingly, the need to find a way to reconcile with his dearest husband, Jerry, who has left Damian and permanently moved back to Hualien with their son, Kai. Upon discussing the situation with his sister, Celine, Damian is as determined as ever to win back Jerry’s heart for which he finally departs to Hualien along with Jimmy.

With Damian, Jimmy and now even his ex-wife, Kate all in Hualien, Jerry is left feeling a flush of strong emotions and gets jealous of Kate’s dynamics with Damian. Upon seeing the family of three getting along together happily, Jerry can’t help but feel like he’s the other man and thereby decides to take some time off from them to concentrate on his work. As he goes around looking for suitable restaurants to cover on his livestream, he crosses paths with Kao, his former crush back in high school. The two, then, take the time to chat and reminisce about their carefree youthful days, a time when Jerry didn’t have the burden of raising a family and a home.

After discovering that Kai is not Jerry's biological son and whether it would be right for them to include Kai in the family's generational book, Jerry's parents try to persuade their son to have a child of his own. Damian, on the other hand, finds himself having to rush back to Taipei to deal with the preparations for the opening of the second branch of his restaurant, Verso as well as take Jimmy back to school. Meanwhile, the lesbian couple, Sasa and Amy are beginning to get increasingly concerned about their son Matt's liking for girl's outfits and wonder if they their son is going through gender identity issues.
