Let's Talk About CHU (2024)
First Taiwanese Drama. It's really good!
Actors are hot, actresses are hot. Lead actress reminds me of Shu Qi with a dumb happy smile since she has a buck tooth. All the actors are very talented. They're far better than Marvel actors.
Writing was excellent. I think the scenarios were believable. No sudden getting in to a car accident as soon as a character needs to be redeemed. Well written characters and a mom who seemed just overbearing enough to be believable and honestly horrible. Dad seems to not want to bother the family and provide to a fault. Male lead has a huge coming of age that's only really achievable with the female lead out of his life as she's doting on a hapa guy from her past (even that's believable! Best of both worlds, since he has physical features of a white guy but speaks fluent Taiwanese so he's "perfect" in the eyes of white worshipping Taiwanese girls. Usually white guys are just there because it's easy to find girls to sleep with but TV won't show that since it'll lead to criticism).
I loved the various stories showing that everyone struggles with their own issues. It doesn't really go far enough, I think it could've tackled cheating better as well as crime but Asian media doesn't allow criminals to get away as that sends a bad message. And cheating is likely seen as irredeemable.
