The Making of an Ordinary Woman俗女養成記
Two seasons of score production — comic timing on the surface, the ache of memory underneath; the music holds both.
The Making of an Ordinary Woman 俗女養成記 (2019–2021) is a CTS and CATCHPLAY series about a Tainan daughter unlearning what a "proper" woman should be. Edgar Music produced the original score across both seasons; season two was nominated for Drama Score at the 57th Golden Bell Awards — the first year the category existed.
Scope of delivery
- Original score production across two seasons — theme design and full-series score
- Score recording and mixing in the same studio
- Continuity across seasons — themes and palette carried and developed
A nomination in a first-year category
Season two was nominated for Drama Score at the 57th Golden Bell Awards — the first year the award existed. In a family drama that moves with comic timing, the score works mostly in the seams between rhythm and feeling; the nomination recognises exactly that invisible craft.
Comic timing, the weight of memory
Comedy draws the audience close; memory gives the story weight. The score shifts gears between the two — riding the comic beats when light, stepping behind the performances when heavy. Two seasons gave the themes time to grow, and the carried palette lets you hear the characters growing up.
