Forming a Passionate Band in New Drama; Joseph Chang Supported by Yao Chun-yao and Huang Di-yang During Low Point

Taipei, June 2 (CNA) Actors Yao Chun-yao, Huang Di-yang, and Joseph Chang are collaborating on a new drama. Chang said that when filming began, he wasn't sure how to approach them, but a moment of vulnerability during a scene where his character hit a low point unexpectedly brought the three closer. 'At that moment, I truly felt they were my brothers,' he said. The new drama, 'The Wedding I Owe You,' revolves around Zhou Ke-jie (Joseph Chang), the lead singer of the once-popular 'Mazigou Band.' Having peaked at 25, he is now a middle-aged man unable to write songs, with his marriage to Chen Li-xuan (Tarcy Su) at a freezing point. While trying to win back her love, a fantasy-tinged opportunity allows him to look back at the past and rediscover the meaning of love and choices. The production team released behind-the-scenes footage today, focusing on the brotherhood between band members spanning from youth to middle age. According to the press release, Yao Chun-yao is the only actor playing his character from youth to middle age, and he admitted to working hard to blend in with the younger cast, making significant changes to his appearance. Huang Di-yang shared that his character was the band's drummer, the controller of rhythm, and in middle age, he tries to remain the team's controller. 'He is Joseph Chang's driver, babysitter, and manager—the one who keeps reminding Chang and protecting the team.' A line in the show, 'No matter how bad you are, how outdated you become, or if there are no more audiences or stages, I will still support you and love you,' captures the deep brotherhood. Chang admitted that he wasn't sure how to approach Yao and Huang at first. One day while filming at an izakaya, he fell into a low state due to his character. 'I was very depressed and anxious, feeling like nothing was right.' When he said he wanted to drink, Huang and Yao silently drank whiskey with him. 'Three middle-aged men sitting quietly together—at that moment, I felt they were my brothers.' The series 'The Wedding I Owe You' will air every Saturday at 9 p.m. starting the 20th on Public Television and PTS+, with the full series available on Netflix.
