The production also celebrated the wrap-up of Liu Yu-jen's role as "Xiao Tuo," with the crew presenting him with flowers, underscoring the warm, family-like atmosphere on set.

"The Pharmacy at the Corner" is adapted from a true story and centers on a unique pharmacy in Muzha that offers more than just prescriptions, providing remedies for the soul. The drama airs on Da Ai Television and its YouTube channel.
