A Taiwanese BL is coming, based on Priest’s novel!

‘Unknown The Series’ is an upcoming slice-of-life BL drama based on Priest’s novel called ‘大哥 (Da Ge), which means “brother”. The author, Priest, is a Chinese writer known for their deep humanistic themes and ability to capture the essence of life’s struggles and joys, and her notable works Guardian (2018) and Faraway Wanderers (2021), world-widely known as ‘Word of Honor’, are adapted into dramas!

Actors Chris Chiu (Mao Di) and Kurt Huang (Xuan) from ‘VIP Only’ are reportedly to take on the roles of Wei Qian and Xiaoyuan, and it is helmed by ‘We Best Love: No. 1 For You and Fighting Mr. 2nd’ and ‘My Tooth, Your Love’ director Jiang Rui Zhi.

Young Wei Qian, orphaned at thirteen or fourteen, struggles through life with his half-sister. He picks up a stray child who shamelessly latches onto him and gives him a name: Xiaoyuan.

Wei Qian dreams of rising above the crop. He is someone who values money over his own life. In the earlier part of his life, he battles against many obstacles, with his number one mission being to make a name for himself. Finally, when he achieves some success and thinks that he’s seeing the light of daybreak in life, Xiaoyuan suddenly goes crazy—he only likes men and only stares at them, adding the glorious strokes of “being subjected to treachery” and “being subjected to insubordination” to his goddamn life.

As of this writing, no further information has been revealed yet. Stay tuned to BLtai for more updates!
