Summer writing project (Week Seventeen): A new distraction for the new year

I finished my grading this week for the summer class just in time to start getting ready for the fall semester that starts September 8. In the meantime, I'm waiting for August 30, when Taiwan's English-language streaming service, TaiwanPlus, starts up. They also have a YouTube channel. It appears that the twelve-part historical drama, SEQALU: Formosa 1867, might be streamed on this channel. If so, I might be persuaded to watch it, despite Brian Hioe's somewhat disappointed review of the first two episodes and despite my own party interested/partly disappointed reaction to the trailer. Here's the trailer:


(After watching the trailer, I asked one of my former Tunghai colleagues if he planned to watch the program. His somewhat abrupt reply: "It is on here, but I don't want to watch it.")
