Reception
It was the number-one film in Taiwan box office for a week in January 2014, but overall grossing was disappointing with only NT$ 20.6 million despite generally positive reviews. It was successful in the Chinese box office in March 2014, ranking only behind 2 Taiwanese films — You Are [the Apple of My Eye] and Black & White Episode I: [The Dawn of Assault] — in first-week grossing. It grossed ¥36.6 million in mainland China.Awards
