KISS OR KILL – 2026 – HONG KONG
BLISS Rating: ★★★ “I was born when you kissed me. I died when you left me.” – Old Saying/attributed romantic proverb There is actually more killing in this series than kissing.

CONNECTING TO YOU – 2025 – Taiwan
BLISS RATING: ★★★★ “Synchronicity reveals the meaningful connections between the subjective world and the objective world.” – C.G.
