It is adapted from the South Korean series Top Star U-back, originally starring Kim Ji-seok, Jeon So-min, and Lee Sang-yeob.[2] The drama is directed by Peter Ho and stars Chen Bolin and Puff Kuo.[3]

Plot

The story follows celebrity Bai Yin-mo (played by Chen Bolin), who becomes embroiled in controversy after an assault incident. Urged by his manager to repair his public image, he considers participating in a nature-themed reality show filmed in Kinmen. Before committing to the program, he travels to Kinmen to experience life there. During his stay, Bai meets Li Hai-nuo (played by Puff Kuo), the owner of a local guesthouse. Their initially tense relationship gradually softens as they get to know each other, eventually developing into a romance.[5]

Production

Breeze by the Sea was primarily filmed in Kinmen County, Taiwan.[6] Many notable local sites were used, including the Shueh Yung-nan Brothers Mansion, which serves as the setting for the drama's guesthouse "Breeze Hostel". Other filming locations include the historic Zhushan Village, Xinhu Fishing Harbor, and the coastal trail along Cihu Road.[7]
