Historical drama series Seqalu: Formosa 1867 took home four prizes, including the award for Best Television Series, at the 57th Golden Bell Awards in Taipei on Saturday.
Judges praised the series as an epic drama with a distinct style that showcases conflict and reconciliation between Taiwan’s different historical ethnic groups. The costumes and props truly recreated history while taking the imagery of Taiwanese dramas to new heights, the judges said.
The series, adapted from Chen Yao-chang’s 2016 novel Lady Butterfly of Formosa, has been aired on Public Television Service (PTS) and several streaming services such as Line TV and Netflix since August last year.
The novel and drama are based on an incident in March 1867, when US merchant vessel the Rover was shipwrecked off the coast of southern Taiwan. Although survivors made it to shore, they were killed by the local indigenous people. This led to conflict among different ethnic communities in the area and ultimately military action by US and Chinese forces.
