Is another Taiwanese BL coming to grace our screens this year?

From the same production as ‘My Tooth, Your Love’, Yoiisz International Media Limited is coming back with a new Taiwanese BL web drama titled ‘向流星許願的我們’ with the official English title ‘Wishing Upon The Shooting Star’, which is an original screenplay and now in pre-production. It is a twelve-episode fantasy romance series with 30 minutes of runtime per episode. The web drama will be under the direction of Ray Jiang, who is best known for his work in WeTV Originals, ‘We Best Love: No. 1 For You’ and ‘We Best Love: Fighting Mr. 2nd’ — also directed by Andy Wu, Yu Jin, Alex Zhou, and Michael Chang’s ‘My Tooth Your Love’, which is available to stream on GagaOOLala.

An adorable, low-confidence nine-to-five salaryman who just got laid off and a youthful slushie with a sunny personality who wants to escape from his dull job meet on an island under the shooting star, weaving a fantastical romance of healing and self-rediscovery. Xian Yong returns to his hometown from Taipei after getting fired. He cannot help but make a wish upon a shooting star out of shame, hoping that no one will recognize him. But, unbeknownst to him at the time, his unintentional wish turns into reality.Mistaken and kicked out by his dad as a non-paying backpacker, Xian Yong walks out of their B&B and is surprised to find the new help hired by the B&B to be his senior, Hao Wei, the one he unsuccessfully confessed his love to back in high school. With a massive meteor shower closing in at the end of the summer, Xian Yong must unearth the greatest desire he wishes to fulfill.

No further information has been released regarding its cast and release date as of this writing. Stay tuned to BLtai for more updates regarding this project!
