Netflix is adding Li Nien-hsiu’s romcom, “I am Married…But!”, to its 2025 Valentine’s Day global line up.
The 12-episode series from Deal Entertainment is written, directed and edited by Li and produced by Iza Sun and Vita Huang.
The show stars Alice Ko as a fiery and disillusioned wife who has lived with her in-laws for three years opposite Jasper Liu in his first Taiwanese drama after a five-year break. Liu plays a lazy, annoying and helpless mummy’s boy whom Ko thinks about divorcing every seven days.
When Ko’s character meets her soulmate on a dating app and suddenly decides she wants a baby, the tug of war between emotional infidelity and family life begins.
Li said in this week’s publicity material that the inspiration for the series came from dating apps.
“I noticed that many married people are on dating apps, and I couldn’t help but wonder what they’re searching for,” she said.
The series also stars Samantha Ko and Tseng Jing-hua.
