Controversy
In May 2025, actor Chen Xiangxi was investigated on suspicion of evading mandatory military service in Taiwan, being taken in for questioning during filming. The production decided to remove his scenes and replace him with Chu Menghsuan in the role. Producer Pan Xinhui stated that the company suffered losses and filed a lawsuit against the actor.[9]
