There have been several outstanding dramas released in Taiwan recently that have done very well in the ratings, and we are expecting a new wave of interest for the format.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chuang added: \u201cBecause the 2018 film was so well-received, it is of the utmost importance for the television series to surpass both the original films\u2019 tone in terms of emotional depth; to move the hearts of the fans and new audiences alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lin said: \u201cThe biggest challenge is maintaining the sentimentality of the story while weaving in more emotionally poignant plots to portray the experiences of true love. We hope that through this drama, the audience will see the potential and capability in the new generation of actors in Taiwan, and will feel motivated to face dilemmas with courage.\u201d<\/p>\n
