Tommy Lan and Ting Deng have been in an open relationship for eleven years and married for six. Tommy has always been clear on what he needs in a partnership. Meanwhile, Ting often grapples with questions of self-worth and struggles to navigate their relationship even with Tommy’s steady and honest approach.
Together, they’ve learned to communicate openly, set boundaries, and manage family expectations to make sure nobody gets hurt. Their story is one of two people learning to understand themselves—and choosing each other with clearer intention again and again.
“Between” Us follows twelve LGBTQ+ individuals living in Taiwan as they navigate love, family, self-understanding, and the quiet turns of everyday life. Rather than defining anyone by labels, the series focuses on the experiences that shape them—the moments of doubt, the slow work of healing, the courage to speak honestly, and the relationships that make openness possible. Through intimate conversations and ordinary details, Between Us reveals how LGBTQ+ lives are built not only through struggle, but through connection, clarity, and the small decisions that lead a person toward who they wish to become. It is a portrait of resilience grounded in the simplicity of being seen.
