(Central News Agency reporter Hung Su-chen, Taipei, 5th) Actress Wu Yi-rong portrays a money-loving group-buying queen in the Da Ai drama "Da Ai Street Alley 2." Off-screen, Wu Yi-rong is the opposite of her character, being rather lazy when it comes to making money. She has received tax refunds every year since her marriage, and she stated that in 2024, she had no work, and her income only broke even with her expenses.
Wu Yi-rong and Li Chen-xiang attended a promotional press conference today for the Da Ai drama "Da Ai Street Alley 2" to share their filming experiences. In the drama, Wu Yi-rong plays a avant-garde hairstylist who yearns for love. In the drama, she loves making money and also works as a group-buying queen. Off-screen, Wu Yi-rong has very low material desires and no ambition for making money. She laughed and said that after marriage, because her husband's income is not high and their expenses are low, "I have received tax refunds every year since I got married."
Wu Yi-rong said she never thought she would become an actress; she was simply someone who loved watching plays. She also admitted that in 2024, she had no acting jobs and very low income, spending every day at home, watching over 300 movies and more than 20 TV series that year. Wu Yi-rong revealed that her main source of income is hosting for Hakka TV. She mostly takes short films or guest appearances for acting roles, but this time, starring in a drama with 30 episodes, she jokingly called it "a timely rain after a long drought."

Li Chen-xiang's character in the drama embodies many shadows of fathers and husbands in real life. Off-screen, he is also like his character, sharing that he is completely unable to throw things away. "Every time I sort an item, I remember the smell, weather, or sound of that day." He even still keeps all the magazine cards of his junior high school idol, Miho Nakayama, and took them out to reminisce when his idol passed away.
