One of Taiwan’s
highest-grossing films, MORE THAN BLUE, is here to make you fall in love and
cry your heart out.
MORE THAN
BLUE is about Chang a.k.a K (Jasper Liu), a terminally-ill guy and his best
friend, Song a.k.a Cream (Ivy Chen). They have been friends for many years, and
have been living at the same house without any romantic relations. But in
reality, K has been in love with Cream since high school. Not wanting Cream to
be lonely when he dies, K decides to help her find Mr. Right. But can K bear to
see the love of his life happy with another man? Is this what Cream really
wants? To be happy with another man without her best friend?
MORE THAN
BLUE is a remake of the 2009 South Korean film of the same title. It was first
released in Taiwan on November 2018 and earned NT$32 million on the first three
days. Nine days since its release, the film passed the NT$100 million mark,
breaking the box office speed record of the hit Taiwanese film “Our Times”,
which broke the NT$100 million in 10 days. By the 11th day of
release, the film already made NT$135 million and became the highest-grossing
Taiwanese film of 2018.
The movie
also received a warm response in the 23rd Busan International Film
Festival held last October 2018. The film’s 5,000 tickets in the festival were
sold out within five minutes, and Jasper Liu and Ivy Chen won the “Face of Asia”
award.
The film’s
main cast, Jasper Liu and Ivy Chen are both Taiwan’s in-demand and award-wining
actors. 33 year-old Jasper Liu started out as a model before he ventured into
acting in 2011. Since then, he has become one of Taiwan’s most prominent actors.
Last year, on his birthday last August 12, Jasper released the full version of
the theme song of MORE THAN BLUE entitled A Kind of Sorrow and marked his debut
as a solo singer.
Ivy Chen
started her career in 2002, appearing in many commercials and music videos. In
2010, she received her first Best Actress award at the 12th Taipei
Awards for her performance in the romantic comedy film “Hear Me”. Since then,
she has received several nominations for her performances in different movies.
In MORE THAN
BLUE, Jasper Liu and Ivy Chen had a perfect chemistry that made the movie more
heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
Catch the
MORE THAN BLUE fever when it opens on February 26 in SM Cinemas nationwide.
