The Taiwanese romantic comedy 'My Unexpected Roommate' has gained a strong response from viewers after its premiere last week. Yan Zhenglan and Yao Chunyao play a couple who can't wait to have a 'popcorn' pillow fight when moving in together. Yan's straightforward line, 'This time you're the black cat, I'm going to drive you crazy,' caused blushing faces among the audience. The actress revealed that due to her poor Taiwanese language skills, they had to resort to simple lines like 'he's a cat, I'm a tiger,' which surprisingly worked well. In addition to the lively dynamic between Yan and Yao, landlady Yang Liyin's violin playing was described as sounding like a pig being slaughtered. Yang learned to play the violin for the role and impressed the director with her skills, even though she cried when asked to play 'scarier.' Meanwhile, the characters try to endure noise while living together, with Yang struggling with her son's crying off-screen, leading to reflections on motherhood. Yao, the other roommate, shared his difficulty concentrating on work if there is background noise. These behind-the-scenes stories provide a glimpse into the cast's experiences while filming this comedic series.
