After directing films in Asia for over 15 years, Lin stated that he is thrilled to make his first American debut with such incredible actors and filmmakers, stating that, having grown up in both Taiwan and America, he is excited to showcase who he is as an Asian-American.
"We've always loved ensemble romantic comedies like Love Actually (2003), and are so excited to be able to share our own take on the genre with an all Asian cast and a script inspired by our own love story, our family, and different stages of our lives," said Dan Mark and Rachel Tan of King Street Pictures, who are the producers of the film.
Aside from Condor and Butler, other actors such as Andrew Koji, Sung Kang, Elodie Yung, and Kheng Hua Tan, are among the other actors said to appear in the film
