    Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    Side couple: Reese speaks Mandarin and Orca speaks Thai. Both also speak English, but they often speak at each other in their own languages, as it seems they both have a decent level of listening comprehension.

    They do end up speaking in each others' languages, and Reese mentions he's been learning Thai for so long yet feels like he's not proficient.
