Exciting New Taiwanese BL Drama 'Exclusive Love'
Fuji TV has announced an exclusive streaming event for fans of Taiwanese dramas with the release of 'Exclusive Love' (独占後継者), set to begin on FOD (Fuji On Demand) December 1st at midnight. This unique addition to the BL genre revolves around themes of love and emotional conflict while exploring the less conventional backdrop of a funeral home.
At the heart of 'Exclusive Love' is Wang Zhan (王湛), a reluctant heir to a funeral services company, who harbors an overwhelming fear of all things frightening. While he dreams of a different life as a singer and postpones his graduation from university, his comfortable existence takes a drastic turn when he finds himself kidnapped and held in a luxurious villa. Here, he is subjected to an intense training regime for three months by his instructor, the cold and stern mortician Tang Du Zhi (唐篤知).
As they begin their training sessions, Wang Zhan feels an immediate push-and-pull dynamic with his mentor's rigorous and often merciless instruction. Initially resistant to Tang's methods, Wang Zhan gradually finds himself drawn to him – a perplexing mix of admiration and emotional conflict unfolds as he confronts the reality of his situation. The question lingers: Are Wang Zhan's feelings genuine affection or the result of psychological phenomena akin to Stockholm Syndrome?
Alongside the main couple, the show features a compelling subplot with characters Zhang Yi Qing (張以慶), a wedding planner, and Wang Zhan's university classmate, Tu Jing He (涂井和). Their storyline introduces a contrasting perspective on love and commitment, intricately intertwining themes of death and marriage. These two narratives provide depth and nuance, promising viewers a captivating experience that navigates the complexities of love amidst challenging circumstances.
'Exclusive Love' is helmed by renowned director Chiu Hao Jiu and boasts a stellar cast. Mao Chih Hsuan, well-known for his role as a charismatic CEO in the popular drama 'You Are Mine', takes on the role of the icy instructor Tang Du Zhi. Meanwhile, rising star Jiang Jia Xian, a former track athlete appearing for the first time in a BL drama, stars as Wang Zhan.
Supporting roles are filled by up-and-coming actors such as Xu Wei Zuo and Pu Jin Hong, whose performances add layers to the emotional fabric of the series. Viewers can expect a thrilling mix of tension and unexpected romantic turns, sure to keep them on the edge of their seats.
The drama consists of 12 episodes, with the premiere of 'Exclusive Love' available for binge-watching on FOD starting December 1st. FOD, Fuji TV's official video and digital publication service, offers a monthly subscription that allows access to over 100,000 titles across various genres, including drama, movies, and magazines.
