Suun Lin’s Alpine Debut
Suun Lin is set to headline DAAI’s upcoming series Holiday in the Mountains (#假日到山裏來看你, literally “Holiday to the Mountains to See You”), which premieres July 1 on DAAI Channel and its streaming platform. Tagged under #戲說真人生 (“Dramatic Real Life”), the eight-episode drama invites viewers to follow Lin’s journey as he retreats from urban chaos to a remote mountain village. In his Instagram reveal (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ6wb6GJg3v/), Lin shares three behind-the-scenes stills: a misty forest close-up, a windswept mountaintop shot and a contemplative riverside scene, each framed to capture the show’s natural beauty.
Behind The Look: Pinktsai419’s Styling
Authenticity guided every styling choice on set. Makeup and hair artist @pinktsai419 crafted a rugged-casual aesthetic, pairing earth-toned palettes with a minimal finish to let Lin’s natural expressions shine. The first image shows Lin in a canvas jacket and knit cap as dappled sunlight filters through evergreen branches. In the second frame, he perches on a rocky outcrop wearing neutral-toned outdoor gear, his hair tousled and skin gently contoured. “We aimed for a lived-in feel,” pinktsai419 explains. The final still captures Lin by a mountain stream, reinforcing a look that feels as real as the environment itself.
From Pages To Peaks: Suun’s Off-screen Passions
Lin’s love of nature and literature has long been on display. In March, he posted from Hualien’s Naonen書流轉旅行 bookstore (https://www.instagram.com/p/DILKN7JJd7z/), praising the therapeutic power of slow reading by the ocean breeze. He reflected on how turning pages in independent shops fuels his creative process and personal growth. That affinity for quiet moments under sky and canopy now informs his on-screen presence, bringing an extra layer of sincerity to his mountain-bound character.
Prepping For The Horizon: Training Behind The Scenes
Physical preparation proved just as crucial. In another Instagram update (https://www.instagram.com/p/DHSZFCXJuWi/), Lin shared clips of his intensive pre-production routines: breath control drills, martial arts footwork and badminton exercises to improve agility. He credits these practices with raising his environmental awareness and stamina—essential for long shooting days at high altitudes. “The mountains don’t hold back,” Lin notes. “Training off-screen helped me stay grounded once the camera rolled.”
A New Chapter In Daai’s Storytelling
The series represents DAAI’s ninth original production this year, following critically acclaimed docuseries that spotlighted Taiwan’s traditional industries. Holiday in the Mountains shifts focus to personal narratives set against unvarnished rural landscapes. Each of the eight 45-minute episodes weaves professional actors with real community members. DAAI’s head of creative, Chen Wei-ling, says the blend of narrative and documentary offers “an intimate window into lives shaped by altitude and heritage.”
Drama With A Real-life Pulse
Holiday in the Mountains marries scripted dialogue with unscripted community moments, a signature of DAAI’s evolving style. Lin plays a city dweller seeking renewal but finding unexpected friendships with local artisans, farmers and mountain guides. Production teams captured candid exchanges at village markets, tea ceremonies and homestays, integrating them seamlessly into the storyline. As Lin’s character navigates winding trails and age-old traditions, viewers glimpse both the challenges and charms of mountain life.
What To Expect On July 1
DAAI has scheduled the first two episodes for simultaneous broadcast at 9 PM on July 1, followed by weekly Monday releases at the same time. Episodes will also be available on DAAI’s streaming platform, with bonus behind-the-scenes featurettes dropping on YouTube each Thursday. Early teasers tease cinematic montages across fog-laced valleys, wood-fired dinners under starlit skies and heartfelt riverside conversations. Viewers are invited to join the conversation under #MountainMoments, sharing their own hiking snapshots in solidarity with Lin’s journey.
With Suun Lin at the center, Holiday in the Mountains promises a serene yet probing exploration of personal renewal. From moonlit treks to morning tea pickings, the series blends visual splendor and emotional depth. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Lin’s work, mark your calendar for this summer’s most grounded drama.
