SPECIAL: The actors also shared their memorable experiences on set. “The scene was actually very tiring, as Chien-ho and I had to maintain the sex position for a while with his legs over my shoulders. It was a truly special experience,” JC Lin said, and Wu Chein Ho added that “playing a same-sex couple for the first time was nerve-wracking at first, but it turned out to be a very interesting experience.”
