Taiwan idol drama regulars Eddie Peng (Honey & Clover), Ady An (The Outsiders), and Esther Liu of Sweety (Westside Story) give memorable supporting performances, along with an amazing extended cast that includes Cheng Pei Pei, Patrick Tam, Tse Kwan Ho, Rachel Lee, Ben Wong, Cheung Sai, Joanne Zeng of Sweety, Achel Chang, and Elvis Tsui as the deliciously evil villain.
