A new Taiwanese web series is set to break the mold of typical BL dramas!

Introducing ‘睡睡你的愛睡睡我的愛’ (official English title: “Bad to Bed”), a mini-series that shifts its focus to mental and emotional health issues, taking viewers on a healing journey through its six main characters.

Leading the cast is Jonas (Chen Jiun Yan), well-known for his role as the PE teacher in the hit Taiwanese drama ‘The On1y One’. In ‘Bad to Bed’, Jonas plays “Wan Xiong,” a man who shares sleepless nights with five boys, each portrayed by Hseih Yun, Li Zi Cheng, Tang Hong Yuan and Zhang Jia Hao, all bringing their distinct personalities to the story.

Jonas departs from his usual sunny roles, stepping into intense emotional scenes. His muscular physique contrasts with the vulnerability he brings to his character, adding depth to his portrayal. In one particularly gripping scene, his character, upon suspecting infidelity, furiously bangs his head against a wall. Jonas became so immersed in the moment that the impact was so strong the director immediately called for a cut, and the crew rushed to pull him away from the bus stop wall, concerned he might hurt himself. This head-banging scene wasn’t just a one-time shot. Before filming, Jonas and co-star Hsieh Yun (Dai Shu) carefully discussed how hard they should hit the wall to heighten the tension for the audience.

The series is also packed with so many emotional moments that the drama coach jokingly called them a “crazy production crew,” with gut-wrenching scenes every couple of episodes. Each crying scene comes with a different emotional depth, pushing both Jonas and Xie Yun to their emotional limits.

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS: The Sleep God fell for a handsome shepherd and granted him the ability to sleep with his eyes open, allowing him to always please the Sleep God with his beauty. But for those with insomnia, is this a blessing or a curse?

Popular influencer Wan Xiong unexpectedly suffers from insomnia one night, thinking it will pass, only to realize it’s the beginning of a physical and mental battle. As he embarks on this journey, he encounters five boys along the way. Can Wan Xiong uncover the reason for his insomnia through their interactions?

‘Bad to Bed’ premieres for free on the JC Show’s YouTube channel starting November 2, with new episodes released every Saturday at 9 PM.

Spanning 10 episodes, this series promises an emotional rollercoaster, blending heart-wrenching moments with a compelling story of healing and recovery. Don’t miss it!
