Former NCT member Lucas Wong is set to make his acting debut in the Taiwanese drama series “A Time,” which was unveiled at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) on Thursday. The series also stars veteran actors Jerry Yan and Ning Chang, marking a high‑profile entry for the K‑pop star into Taiwan’s television landscape.
“A Time” is directed by Tsao Jui‑yuan, whose previous credits include the acclaimed films “Crystal Boys,” the series “A Touch of Green,” and the historical drama “Seqalu: Formosa 1867.” Tsao disclosed that the project has been in development for eight years, reflecting a long‑term commitment to the story.
The drama is rooted in Taiwan’s campus folk‑music movement of the 1970s, a cultural wave that blended Western folk influences with local songwriting. According to the festival presentation, the series will trace four decades of friendship and love among its characters, using the music of that era as a narrative backdrop.
TCCF, an annual showcase for new media and creative content in Taiwan, provided the platform for the series’ first public reveal. Organisers highlighted the festival’s role in connecting creators, producers, and audiences across the region.
The 1970s folk‑music scene remains a touchstone of Taiwanese cultural history, often credited with fostering a generation of socially conscious musicians and shaping contemporary Taiwanese identity. By anchoring “A Time” in this period, the series aims to evoke that legacy while introducing it to new audiences, including fans of Lucas Wong’s music career.
