Since its debut early last month, firefighter-themed drama “Tears on Fire” has caused close attention from TV audiences. After the finale aired on TV, the show about the lives of four brave firefighters has continued to dominate the top spots on video platforms, and production is being planned for a second season.
Starring Golden Horse-winning actors Austin Lin and Liu Kuan-ting, Golden Bell-winning actor James Wen and actress Annie Chen, the 10-episode series allows the audience a peek at the various challenges of this intense profession. Some viewers said that they have also learned many new terms from the show, such as “OHCA,” an acronym that means “Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.”
Meanwhile, martial arts drama “Word of Honor” has generated much talk in recent months. The drama tells the exciting adventures of a former government assassin and the Ghost Valley leader. With their “bromance” in the show, the popularity of two leading actors Simon Gong and Zhang Zhehan has surged in recent months.
