Notes

Based on the youth of Tai Chen Yao, a pivotal figure in the farmer's rights movement in Taiwan.
The first romance drama series from PTS Taigi TV Station in Taiwan.
The title serves as a self-mockery by political prisoners, reflecting on the harsh realities of prison life, where they resort to surviving by mixing salt water with rice.
