Night Market Life (Chinese: 夜市人生; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Iā-chhī Jîn-seng) is a Taiwanese Hokkien television drama that began airing on Formosa Television in Taiwan on 22 December 2009. This is also known as the first HD drama ever broadcast on Formosa Television.
It stars Chen Meifeng, Morning Chang (), Peng Chia-chia (), Jimmy Ni (), Wang Shih-hsien, Fon Cin, Mike Lee () and Chiang Tsu-ping among others.
Very little of the show is actually set in a night market. Rather, the show is centered on several vendors at a night market whose children befriend each other and go their separate paths upon reaching adulthood. As the series' popularity grew, the story was expanded to span two generations of characters; the children of the first part are grown up in the second part, which began on 7 April 2010.
As of June 2011[update], the show airs in Taiwan every weeknight at prime time (20:00) with episodes which have ranged in length from 135 to 150 minutes including commercial advertisements. The producers received funding from the Government Information Office to produce the series in high definition. With admiration and some criticism, the show concluded on 19 July 2011, when the brand-new television drama of Formosa Television, Father and Son(Chinese: 父與子), was released. The Vietnamese dub "Doi Song Cho Dem" was broadcast on Vinh Long Television Station Channel (THVL) and is streamable on YouTube.The drama was shown on Singapore Channel, Mediacorp Channel 8 at 7pm showing on weekends succeeding The Spirits of Love.
