Priest Novel Dage Gets Taiwanese Live-Action Adaptation

The danmei novel Dage or 大哥 will receive a live-action adaptation.

A new Instagram account has opened for the Taiwanese dramatization of Dage. The live-action has renamed the novel to 關於未知的我們 or Unknown the Series. The account merely posted a teaser image of the two main leads’ hands touching, matching black bracelets adorning their wrists. The caption states: “在無盡的黑暗裡 你是我唯一的光” which translates to “You are my only light in this endless darkness.”

Unknown the Series will star Chris Chiu and Xuan although the series has not specified which role the actors will play. Chiu is a member of a boyband named JPN and has acted in a few films and television series. Xuan has also acted in several television series and participated in the idol competition Youth with You.

Written by Priest (Sha Po Lang, Mo Du, Lie Huou Jiao Chou), Dage revolves around the relationship between Wei Qian and Wei Xiaoyuan. Wei Qian, who was orphaned at a young age, originally lived with his half-sister before he picked up another street child and gave him the name Xiaoyuan. Having grown up with nothing, Wei Qian dreams of nothing else but making money and carving out a name for himself in the world. Just as things seem to have taken a turn for the better, Xiaoyuan goes off the rails.

There is currently no official English license of the novel Dage.
