New Taiwanese series set to hit the screen

New Taiwanese series set to hit the screen

Photography has begun in Taiwan for the eight-part, hour-long Mandarin romantic comedy series, “Adventure of the Ring” with shooting slated to take place in Taipei until October. Set and filmed in Taiwan, the series is scheduled to premiere next year across HBO Asia’s 23 territories on their on-air, online and on-demand platforms.

“Following the success of HBO Asia’s Mandarin Original Series including the award-winning “The Teenage Psychic” and “The World Between Us”, we are pleased to bring yet another Mandarin production, ‘Adventure of the Ring’, to our audiences in Asia and around the world,” said Jonathan Spink, HBO Asia’s chief executive. “The heart-warming tales in HBO Asia’s first romantic comedy series will resonate with many.”
“Adventure of the Ring” tells the stories of different couples who come into contact with an engagement ring. On a morning commute, the ring is misplaced by a man on the day of his proposal, threatening to disrupt all his plans. Chris Wang plays Yi Zhi, the man who loses the ring and Allison Lin is Lisa, Yi Zhi’s intended bride. As the search for the ring continues, Yi Zhi and Lisa re-examine what love means to them as the ring travels through the hands of other couples and impacts their lives.
The series, which is helmed by Nelson Yeh and directed by Golden Bell-nominated Kitamura Tayoharu, is produced in partnership with Good Image with support from the Ministry of Culture of Taiwan, the Taipei Film Commission and the Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation.
