Asian Drama

"Twisted Strings" follows a series of bizarre deaths happening in Taiping City. Against an eerie atmosphere, Wu Yue Nu witnesses the deaths of people around her. A funeral, a missing body, a dangerous game, a kidnapping; real and unreal, these incidents are woven in Yue Nu’s memories, converging in the mysterious Sailing Castle.

The name of the series is inspired by a popular Taiwanese nursery rhyme, which contains lyrics that tell the story of a monkey's life over seven days. Each episode is loosely based on a line from the song.

For the past five years, Lin has been looking after the son, Yo Yu, and the elderly mother, Mrs. Chou, of his deceased boyfriend, Li Wei. They live together like a family, and it is Lin's way of remembering Li Wei - by continuing to be in the life he once had and loving the people he once loved. But when Mrs. Chou passes away, her other son, Li Gang, returns from overseas and discovers that Mrs. Chou's property is passed on to Yo Yu, who has been legally adopted by Lin. Li Gang contacts the police, accusing Lin of killing his mother. As the ensuing investigation continues, more and more evidence mounts against Lin.
