When faced with difficult choices in life, some people like to seek guidance from fortune tellers. In Taiwan, people especially like to consult deities by performing a ritual involving tossing wooden ‘moon blocks’, or ‘jiaobwei’, to divine answers to life decisions. Wishful Syncing uses the concept of this ritual and transforms it into an AI technology product called ‘BWEI’. With ‘BWEI’, the drama’s core issue is addressed: AI and big data algorithms expand the limits of human aspects and promote innovative research, however, they also make modern people forget the joy of mastering life. In the face of various complex problems, can we leave it to algorithms to make choices for us? Can interpersonal relationships and emotions be quantified by data? In the end, do humans want to be controlled by their own big data algorithms or take back control? This is a challenge that modern people must face. This episode examines the intricacies of marriage and aims to present life’s difficulties. The director skilfully uses comedic beats to present the various situations of young married couples, portraying the issues that the show wants to explore to the audience in a relatively relaxed way. The characters are vivid and humorous, easily evoking resonance with viewers.
