Online video platforms have benefited from the COVID-19 outbreak, with Line TV revealing that demand for streaming has increased by 20 percent. Among its shows, Someday or One Day, a 13-episode TV series, is the most popular.
Starring Golden Bell-winning actress Alice Ko and hit actors Greg Hsu and Patrick Shih, the time-travel drama tells the story of a 27-year-old woman in Taipei who loses her boyfriend in a plane crash. Then, one day, she receives an old mysterious Walkman, which suddenly transports her back 10 years in the past, where she finds herself trapped in the body of a 17-year-old schoolgirl. After she meets a boy in the past identical to her deceased boyfriend, a new adventure unfolds before her.
Thanks to the huge success of the Taiwanese drama, the cast’s popularity has surged in the Chinese-speaking world. Hsu has even been dubbed a “national boyfriend” by fans. CTI TV is now doing a rerun of this spectacular show every weekend.
