In recent years, TVBS has actively expanded into the international market, with multiple productions landing on global OTT platforms like Netflix, reinforcing its leadership in Asian content creation. This year, "Living" participated in international awards with cultural support from TAICCA, showcasing Taiwanese audiovisual talent on a larger global stage and boosting the visibility and competitiveness of Taiwanese content. This month, "Living" is set to debut on an OTT platform in Japan, offering more international audiences the opportunity to experience this uniquely Taiwanese production.

After being nominated for the 2024 Asia Contents Awards & Global OTT Awards, "Living" continued its winning streak at the 59th Golden Bell Awards, taking home six awards. Highlights included the "Best Television Series Award," produced by Ruby Lin; Wu Kang-ren's win for "Best Leading Actor in a Television Series Award"; Yang Kuei-mei receiving "Best Leading Actress in a Television Series Award"; and Joseph Cheng winning "Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series Award" with his first nomination.
