On January 11th, it was reported that the first episode of actress Nagasawa Masami's Taiwanese drama 'Chocolate' achieved record high viewer ratings for its network GTV during its time slot in the evening.

The first episode recorded an average viewer rating of 0.83%, which sounds low in Japanese standards, but is actually considered very high in Taiwan due to their several hundred cable channels. On Saturday, Nagasawa and her co-star Lan Zhenlong also concluded their 3-day long extensive promo event with a fan sign session for those who bought the related photobook.

It was only the 2nd fan sign event for Nagasawa since her debut 14 years ago and she was clearly delighted by the enthusiasm of her Taiwanese fans. The event took place at an outdoor stage where they also played games with the crowd made up of about 1,200 fans and answered questions. 

Some of her female fans couldn't hold back their tears of joy and even received a hug from the actress. Then fan service continued when the two actors were supposed to pose for pictures and Lan Zhenlong suddenly decided to carry Nagasawa in one arm.
