About The Love in Okinawa
The Lin family, a Taiwanese shipping dynasty in Okinawa, is thrown into turmoil when the second son, Hung-hai, defies his father’s wishes by rejecting an arranged marriage with TV star Yoshiko and falling in love with Hsiu-ling, the daughter of their rival. As generational animosities and cruel twists of fate unravel, Hung-hai spirals into bitterness and alcoholism. Can these star-crossed lovers break free from the bonds of family conflict and rewrite their destinies?
Directed by Lin Fu-Ti, The Love in Okinawa leans on a strong ensemble — Tsai Yang-Ming, Cheung Ching-Ching, Chin Tu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1968.
