SEQALU: Formosa 1867

The series is based on the real history of the Rover Incident of 1867, and is a large-scale epic drama that took close to three years to produce.

Adapted from historical facts. On March 12, 1867, the American merchant ship Rover was shipwrecked at the southern end of Taiwan’s Hengchun Peninsula. When the Rover Incident broke out, Tiap-moe was only 18 years old. She was proficient in multiple languages, so she helped American Consul Charles Le GENDRE with his investigation. During the investigation, she became caught in a complex ethnic struggle. Facing the questioning and bullying associated with her ethnic group, gender and bloodline, was Tiap-moe brave enough to help the Westerners, the Seqalus, the Hokkiens and Hakkas, and even herself, to reach a state of peace and understanding?
