Who’s who in More Than Blue, tear-jerking Taiwanese remake of a hit South Korean film
- Jasper Liu, a musician in real life as guitarist with Morning Call, who plays K, a terminally ill musician, only made his film debut six years ago
- Ivy Chen, popular with viewers in China and recently married, plays K’s childhood friend. She is a former best actress winner at Golden Harvest Awards
Taiwanese director Gavin Lin’s More Than Blue is a remake of a South Korean hit of the same name released in 2009. In this tear-jerker, Jasper Liu plays K, a terminally ill musician, and Ivy Chen is Cream, his childhood friend and a lyricist.
The plot appears to be a bit trite but the film has been popular nonetheless due to its inspiring, touching details and its cast.
