Overview

Background

Taiwan has the highest divorce rate in Asia and the lowest birth rate in the world. “Marriage or not” and “having children or not” are both hot topics on social media and are closely related to buying houses.

Marriage in Taiwanese culture also has the meaning of “build a home,” and newlyweds are an important driving force in house buying. Therefore, Sinyi Realty, the leading brand in Taiwan’s real estate industry, wants to deeply explore the marriage and fertility issues that the target audience cares about, and thus convey the brand spirit of Sinyi Realty, the meaning of trust to a happy family.

Idea

"In Love We Trust'' series is starred by the Golden Award actor and the skillful actress as the protagonists and directed by the Golden Award director.

It shows the trust crisis faced by a couple from marriage to starting a family including two major issues of "Doubting marriage" and "having children". Watching them regain trust from doubt, the audience also starts to rethink the meaning of "trust" to "home".

-The first episode tells the story from the woman’s view-

A girl working in the household registration office. Watching people divide and reunite, she starts to doubt her future.

-The second episode uses the voice of the man to tell the doubt and introspection brought by the pressure of having children-

Talk about different social issues through different views of men and women. Happiness and trust of a family have never been a static endpoint, but a dynamic process.

Strategy

-Go deep into social issues and see business potential in goodwill-

In Taiwanese culture, marriage also has the meaning of “build a home,” and newlyweds are an important driving force in house buying.

Sinyi Realty is concerned with the issues faced by the newlyweds with a series of films, the first episode explores the fear of marriage; the second episode focuses on the fertility pressure after marriage.

-Series of films go from breadth to depth-

EP1. The breadth

The love story before marriage, the dramatic tension of life and death, and the emotional scenes, aroused widespread resonance and echoes.

EP2. The depth

The family life after marriage isn’t a fairy tale, but a series of ordinary and trivial daily activities. Through the quarrels, efforts, and reconciliation between the couple, it touches the feeling and triggers the resonance.

Execution

-The original cast performs and establishes a sense of expectation-

The series of films invited the director with gold awards, also golden award actor and the well-known actress to play the protagonists, allowing audience to follow them through the two major life stages of "Doubting marriage" and "having children", as if we also grew up together, regained trust together, and looked forward to the next development of the plot.

-A more complete view of trust from different perspectives of men and women-
