Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Vic Chou's comeback role after F4 superstardom—Mark Chao was still a film actor, making his TV debut here. Their pairing was considered risky casting that paid off.
The coffee Pi Zi constantly drinks? It's a real Taipei chain, and sales reportedly spiked 40% after broadcast. Product placement that actually worked.
