Equally talented in front of and behind the camera, Niu Chen Zer is the rare television director who can create affecting art and human drama in a completely commercial context. His acclaimed idol dramas Toast Boy's Kiss, Say Yes Enterprise, and Come to My Place remain some of the best titles the genre has to offer. After winning widespread accolades with his first feature film what on earth have I done wrong?!, Niu returns to television, this time working with PTS for the light and enjoyable Wayward Kenting.
Idol drama heartthrobs Eddie Peng and Ethan Ruan star as surfers who wile their days in the balmy southern city of Kenting, Taiwan's vacation spot of choice. Peng's Han Wen is an energetic and optimistic youth with a sunshine personality, but he falls in love with the aching writings of perennially blue blogger Xiao Wei, played by The Hospital's Janine Chang. After bonding over the internet, Xiao Wei decides to accept Han Wen's invitation and head to Kenting where unexpected romance and adventures await. Wayward Kenting also co-stars Li Kang Yi Li Shiau Shiang and Niu Chen Zer himself.
