(Central News Agency, reporter Hong Sujin, Taipei, 10th) Actors Lin Zhexi and Fang Zhiyou join forces with Korean stars Lee Yoo-bi and Moon Hee-kyung on stage. Lin Zhexi challenges himself with Taiwanese, Korean, and Japanese dialogue in the drama, saying he discovered different facets of himself. Fang Zhiyou portrays a woman who remains deeply attached to her husband amidst the chaos of war, for which she endured immense pressure practicing Taiwanese.
The drama 'Goodbye 1987' brings together powerhouse actors including Lin Zhexi, Fang Zhiyou, He Haochen, and Su Mingming, and also features a surprise cross-border collaboration with Lee Yoo-bi from the Korean drama 'The Escape of the Seven' and Moon Hee-kyung from 'Hospital Playlist'. The production team released the official trailer, unveiling a tumultuous yet sincere love quadrangle that spans across Taiwan and Korea.
For their first collaboration, Lin Zhexi and Fang Zhiyou gave their all to this large-scale period drama. To perfectly portray the talented and rebellious girl Qiu Xue, Fang Zhiyou worked hard to practice Taiwanese. She shared through a press release that she has become more mature in this performance, able to precisely control emotions and convey them to her co-stars. To fully immerse herself in the struggles of a woman in a turbulent era, Fang Zhiyou endured great pressure. 'During the filming period, I even dreamed of war breaking out and woke up crying,' she said.
Lin Zhexi's character faces a tumultuous fate. He first starts a family with Fang Zhiyou, but after fleeing to Korea, he develops an unspeakable ambiguity with Lee Yoo-bi. He lamented that his character desperately tries to protect those around him, but is pushed further and further from home by fate. This time, he not only took on the challenge of performing entirely in Taiwanese but also had to digest a large amount of Korean and Japanese dialogue. Lin Zhexi found this exhilarating. 'Acting in different languages is a huge challenge, but it also helped me find a new feeling in my performance. From the director's eyes, I could feel a different version of myself. I hope every collaboration can unearth facets of myself I haven't yet discovered,' he said.
'Goodbye 1987' portrays an epic love story spanning two families and half a century. The story's backdrop ranges from resistance against Japanese rule in the 1940s, the relocation of the Nationalist government to Taiwan, the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, to Taiwan's martial law period and Korea's April Revolution in the 1960s. Amidst the cruel currents of history, the characters each face helpless and tragic national and ethnic conflicts. The drama is scheduled to officially premiere on PTS Taigi on August 30.
