30th January 2026 – (Taipei) Netflix’s Taiwanese original Million-Follower Detective premieres on 12th February, pairing Hong Kong icon Ekin Cheng with a new‑gen internet star for a glossy suspense thriller steeped in tarot, viral trends and enigmatic crimes. The series — Cheng’s first ever Taiwanese drama — also stars Jun‑Shuo Lou, Patty Lee, Wang Po‑chieh, Lee Lee‑zen and Buffy Chen.
Cheng plays an instinct‑driven detective who teams up with Lou’s million‑follower influencer to crack a chain of mysteries swirling around the creator economy. Their unlikely partnership bridges generations, blending gut‑feel policing with crowd‑sourced clues and the shifting winds of online opinion.
Fan excitement has spiked at the crossover casting. Cheng — still exuding the cool that made his Young and Dangerous era a regional phenomenon — even reunites with the screen as a dad, sharing substantial scenes with rising “post‑2000s goddess” Buffy Chen, who plays his daughter. Chen, 25, admitted she was smitten during a take: a simple doorway entrance from Cheng had her “heart skip a beat,” she joked, calling herself a longtime fan.
