U Motherbaker 2

At sixty-six, Tsai-hsiang thought she had it all—freedom, health, and love. But her peaceful life is upended when her partner’s elderly mother moves in, forcing her into the unfamiliar role of daughter-in-law. Meanwhile, tensions rise as her children face personal crises, old rivalries resurface, and a missing family heirloom signals bad luck. A fortune teller warns of grim futures for her children, prompting Tsai-hsiang to take action—quietly and urgently. As secrets unravel and relationships are tested, an unexpected hope appears in the form of Tainan’s beloved orchids—and the last person Tsai-hsiang ever thought she’d rely on.

Director Statement

Director DANNY ANNING DUN believes that every person's actions and speech have their own unique style. This is especially true for confident and experienced actors/actresses. The director's job is to observe meticulously and find each one's unique "flavor," then think about how they can comfortably convey the director's inner vision.
In the case of the "U Motherbaker" series, it's about how actors/actresses handle the director's wild ideas, combined with their own input. This creates the show's distinctive style. The balance between giving and taking depends on the immediate, on-the-spot interaction. Performance and art have always been organic, without predetermined rules. Humor and emotions are the same way. The style of the "U Motherbaker'' series emerges from this kind of "freedom."
