The Campaign

Taiwanese love to watch this kind of reality video, but most of time, they also like to judge it morally. There is a deep-seated conservatism running through our society, and public shows low acceptance of nude scenes. People in Taiwan also hate faked-reality content, so it’s a huge challenge to make a “real content” and not to be judged by consumers.
