Hunk Star Strips to Underwear in Cold for BL Drama; Co-Star Rushes to Warm Him

Chiu Yi-tai, son of veteran actors Kao Jen-chieh and Lin Yeh-ting, is generating buzz for his role in the upcoming BL drama 'The Only Connection to You'. Dubbed the 'most handsome second-generation star,' Chiu Yi-tai is set to deliver a pivotal scene that pushes his boundaries.

In a dramatic moment, Chiu Yi-tai's character must strip down to his underwear to prevent another character from jumping off a building. The scene, described as the drama's 'biggest scale' offering, was filmed during a severe cold snap. Despite the frigid temperatures, Chiu Yi-tai reportedly performed numerous push-ups on-site to prepare, showcasing his commitment to the role and his physique.

Director Yu Chih-han revealed a heartwarming detail about the filming: co-star Liu Yu-jen, who plays a police officer in the drama, would rush to wrap Chiu Yi-tai in a coat between takes. This act of kindness, captured while Liu Yu-jen was observing the scene, underscored the supportive dynamic between the two leads, both on and off-screen.

This scene was so absurd, I really wanted to see how Yi-tai would strip.

Chiu Yi-tai described his character, Lin Chia-kai, as introverted and prone to mishaps, a stark contrast to his own outgoing personality. He found capturing the comedic timing essential for the role challenging, drawing inspiration from the Japanese drama 'What If I Could Be a Man at 30?' to understand character portrayal. Meanwhile, Liu Yu-jen, whose father is a criminal investigator, drew on his father's demeanor to portray his character, police officer Wu Ta-wei, with authenticity.

The drama 'The Only Connection to You' is set to premiere globally on August 14, 2026, with new episodes released every Friday. It will be available on various platforms, including GagaOOLala, iQIYI, Viki, and others.
