soratorashi,

Sorry so say that but i Hate Jerry Yan.... more prefer Mike He become ren and don't include jerry yan in any of that character <--- don't fit at all. all guys is oke but not Jerry Yan (hehe

)

RedFireFly,

i agree with you, i more like mainland than taiwanese, coz most of taiwanese character always being to much over cool ( look weird ), you know....

**soratorashi** · 05-09-08, 10:54 AM

i like the ideal cast game!! lol. and i'm glad we all agree on ariel

forUand1, lol. it's ok. everyone is entitled to their own opinion

just because i think jerry yan is hot enough to set passers-by on fire, doesn't mean everyone has to like him. and i like mike he, too

Jilly wow, danson looks so diabolical in that photo >3 and oh! ivy fan! i didn't even think of her, but now that i think about it she would really fit!

swimfishyswim06, the blonde guy is mike he (supposedly) i know, it doesn't look like him. but i got it off one of his fan sites, so... lol. i still don't think i could see jiro as sho, he's just too approachable, you know? he's always the nice guy in love with the main character, but sho is more of a totally self-centered, seemingly emotionless, uber-cool chick-magnet. i just don't think jiro would fit that. but i LOVE him as an actor. in fact, he might fit some of the other roles. also, i haven't seen much of megan lai, so i can't really make a valid +/- vote for her as kanae. ....must youtube her.....

hey, speaking of which, does anyone have recommendations for yashiro-san??

**Jilly** · 05-09-08, 06:42 PM

Soratorashi, do you have any pics of Yashiro-san?
Yeah, I like this ideal cast game. I wish more people would cast in their opinions, too

The nominations so far:
KYOKO: The one and only Ariel^^
REN: Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Mike He
SHO: Mike He, Jiro Wang, Show Luo, Danson Tang
KANAE: Megan Lai, Ivy Fan

Swim mei, I've seen Megan in MG2, Mars, and Silence, and I personally don't think she's a great actress. She would do okay as Kanae, but she is by no means an incredible actress. Sorry!! *run away from swim*

Ariel has been tucking her hair under in a lot of her pictures recently. Is she trying to get us used to her short hair look? Hehe..

**soratorashi** · 05-12-08, 11:06 AM

ya, sure! i think you have to read the manga tho, to get a good grasp of his character. yashiro-san's actor wouldn't actually have to be that good-looking, since that's not very pertinent to the plot, but they'd have to have a wide range of emotions, since yashiro is so crazy. X3

seriously, tho, anyone who hasn't read Skip Beat yet MUST!!!!

**swimfishyswim06** · 05-14-08, 05:07 AM

forU4and1, hey there! Hehe, you’re entitled to your own opinion, of course

Jerry isn’t my ideal for the role, but I think he’d be okay.

Soratorashi, hehe, “hot enough to set passers-by on fire,” eh?

I can accept Jerry or Mike as Ren, although neither are quite my ideal for the acting/character essence (looks are fine, though!

)

Lol, the blonde guy is supposed to be Mike He? Hee hee, that’s not Mike, but whoever it is would work, too! Hehe, the reason why I thought Jiro might work for Sho is because when I saw him for the very first time, I thought he was a stuck-up jerk, based on first appearance only. Ah well, maybe he’ll get to work with Ariel in something else. Haha, when I read the line about recommendations for Yashiro-san, I just sat here and blinked…. I have *no* idea.

Jilly Jie, aaah! *chases after you with a rubber mallet!* Haha, just kidding. I guess I’ve only seen the whole of MARS and and most of Sweet Relationship, and I thought she was great in Sweet Relationship as the clingy childhood friend/semi-love interest. Actually, though, Ivy Fan seems like a good idea, too. Just curious, how tall is she?

Hehe, I’m pretty sure Ariel and her hairdresser are trying to get themselves and us used to Ariel with short hair.

Maybe I’m imagining things, but I don’t remember seeing this pic of Ariel before (credit to linichen.net):

**soratorashi** · 05-14-08, 10:37 AM

i dunno.... lol, the more i think about it the more i can see anyone in the roles >.< danson tang as ren? and oh my goodness, joe cheng as sho????? i didn't even think of that at first, but.... IT TOTALLY FITS. lol, i guess i'll be happy no matter who gets cast as what ^^

and swimy, ya..... i thought that pic looked weird..... lol

**Jilly** · 05-14-08, 02:02 PM

soratorashi (can I call you sora for short?), I'm reading Skip Beat scanlations now. Thanks for the link! I'm still on chapter 11, but it's very engrossing. Ariel is definitely the best choice as Kyoko. She's strong, determined, and persistent. She is a tough cookie =P

Sho is a total jerk and so full of himself. I can see swim mei's point now. I've seen Danson as a semi-baddie in KO One and The X-family, but I don't think I'm ready to see him a "supercilious jerk that Sho is."
I know I've said that I don't want to see another ArJoe pairings so soon, but the more I read the manga, the more I think Joe's aloofness would play very well here.

Ren is quite a complicated character. He's outwardly nice and polite, but he has mysterious dark past. I kinda have second thoughts on Mike He as Ren now. This is a complex character to play, and I'm not sure if Mike can pull it off. But look wise, you can go no wrong with Mike, haha. Btw, Ren is 190 cm

So tall!

So yeah, except Ariel, I'm not sure about my ideal cast anymore. I'm not even sure if Ivy Fan (she's 164 cm) fits as Kanae. Isn't Kanae supposed to be pretty? Anyway, as long as the actors can capture the characters well, I'm fine with whoever get the roles

Umm, that picture does look weird. It's almost like a prom picture, lol.

**swimfishyswim06** · 05-16-08, 02:09 AM

Hey sora and Jilly Jie! I'm beginning to have doubts about who to cast, too. I'll be happy as long as people are cast who are able to pull off the roles well. Someone in AF suggested Ryan Tang for Ren, too. What do you think? He's definitely a skilled and versatile actor, and I can see him as the skilled and charming, cool and mysterious, yet warm on the inside Ren. Hmm, and I'm actually really having trouble with Sho right now. I still like Show. Joe could pull off Sho, but Sho is a pretty complex character, too. Haha, this is kind of silly, but the problem with Joe playing Sho is that Ren has to be taller. And what Taiwanese actor (with amazing acting chops) are you going to find who's taller than Joe? I can't think of a single person. Joe is 188 cm, Ethan is 186, and everyone else is pretty much 180 (including Vic and Jerry I think). Ryan Tang is 184 cm. The only TW actor taller than Joe that I know of is Jerry Huang, and I would just die if he was cast as Ren. His acting is....*cough* awful. Anyway, so hope the casting people do a good job.

Heh, I don't know what that pic of Ariel is from. Ariel's real prom pic was much much prettier though. She looks like an angel.

Here's a pic of Ariel and Figaro from Chinese New Year, with some of Ariel's pet golden mice (she has 7 total). Her fave animals (per her profile) are mice, dogs and humans, lol.

**soratorashi** · 05-16-08, 12:00 PM

jilly, yeah, the more i think about it, the more i'm unsure!!! of course, i'm still set on ariel ;D at least we can all agree on that. i'm glad you're reading it! isn't it addicting?!?!!? all my friends say i act like kyoko, especially when she gets all excited over silly things (my friend got me a tiny jewelry box for christmas that looks like a pond and has a frog prince sitting on top, and i almost DIED. lol. XD maybe i'll post a pic tomorrow...)
yeah, it's hard to explain w/out reading it just how complex all the characters really are, right??? what do you think of yashiro-san??
and yes, yes, please call me sora. it's shorter and it's my name anyway

omg, swim, that pic is so cute!!! hmmm... ryan tang? ...meh. i don't think he's ridiculously-gorgeous enough. and he's kinda... old. lol.
and hey! that's exactly what i was thinking with the height and everything! lol. but if it's only a couple cm, they can fix it with heels (ren does wear a lot of fancy loafers/boots). there was an american movie, can't remember which one, that starred tom cruise, but he was so short that they actually dig ditches for him to walk in so that he and the other lead would be the same height. ...LOL. i dunno, the more i think about, the more it can only be joe for me. besides, he and ariel already have great chemistry and producers love to put them together alll the time. lol. sad as this is, one of the first things that made me a real fan of joe is that he's taller than me (i'm about 182 cm). lol.
joe is 188 (WOW ///'w'///) jerry is about 180 cm so... wait, i have to convert that for my mind to understand it...
ok, so jerry is about 5'10''
and joe is about 6'2'' (YUM).
well, it sounds like alot, but that's really only 4 inches. i dunno, even if they have to have him slouch the entire time, i really want sho to be joe ^^ lol

o! random note! i totally forgot this girl's name, but wouldn't she be a good kaname?? (if someone already suggested her.... i'm sorry. lol)

also found this funny page of kyoko and the kyoko demons giving sho what-for when she realizes what an *** eh is X} i love scenes like this

**soratorashi** · 05-16-08, 04:34 PM

**Jilly** · 05-16-08, 06:52 PM

swim mei, Ariel and her mice are so cute!! Figaro and Ariel look so much alike in that picture. If you were to tell me that they're siblings, I would have believed you =P
Did she actually say *humans* are one of her fav animals, lol.

Ryan Tang as Ren? The same Ryan Tang Zhi Ping in Tokyo Juliet, Hana Kimi, and The Hopistal? Oh, please no

Ren should be dashing and charismatic, and I don't find Ryan either one of those, although I agree with him being a versatile actor. Sorry again, swim mei (this time I really need to run away from you before you chase after me with a rubber mallet or toss me across the room, lol).

Heh, I like Show! But he's always goofing around, so it's hard for me to imagine him as the bada$$ Sho. He's too likable^^ I would rather see him as Ren, hehe. You're right about Joe being too tall as Sho. If he were to be casted as Sho, I really can't think of any actor who can match his height AND also have great acting chops to play Ren. Jerry Huang is taller than Joe, but his acting is just meh to me. This ideal cast game is getting harder now =P

Btw, did you hear anything new about Paper Rose? It's still a go, right?

Lol, sora, I can tell that you're totally psyched about Skip Beat XD
Um, I don't know what to think of Yoshiro-san. I'm only up to chapter 23, and so far his character is not really prominent to the story, so I don't know what to think of him. But I can tell you that I like Ren a lot, haha. There's something about his complex and mysterious character that draws your attention. Sho is still a jerk... no change yet. Kanae is also still mean to Kyoko. She hasn't showed the other caring side of her yet. I wonder if Joelle Lu is a good candidate as Kanae. Joelle is not that pretty (at least to me), but she has the "attitude" that she dispays well in The Rose and The Outsiders. She's really tall, too (177cm).

Speaking of height, sora, is your height really 182cm?!? Holy cow! It'll be a midget standing next to you

**soratorashi** · 05-17-08, 04:41 AM

lol. for a minute i thought "figaro" was one of the mice/rats. lol.

and jilly, yeah, i'm TOTALLY CRAZY about skip beat XD. when i fist found out it was going to become a taiwanese drama (MY FAVORITE KIND!!) i just about had an annurism. heh.

the i.c.g. is becoming so difficult..... tho i still say whoever played opposite joe could wear tall shoes or something. heh.

and yeah, i really am 182cm. that's nothing, tho, my uncle is about 210cm!!!!! i barely even come up to his shoulder!! heh, he and my aunt keiko were visiting relatives in japan not too long ago, and he said he kept banging his head going through doorways. lol.

and don't worry! kanae becomes very lovable soon. are you at the kurara commercial yet?

**swimfishyswim06** · 05-21-08, 05:02 AM

Hey ladies, I'm really tired, so I'm just gonna post the latest Ariel pics... she attended the Sichuan earthquake relief Phone-A-Thon May 18th with Figaro.

[2008.05.26] Ariel Cures Love Pain ~ Looks For New Prospect While Attending Classes

Source: UDN
Translated by Cmiley @ asianfanatics.net (Please credit or link if you post this elsewhere)

With the ideal art work male not moving another step in the relationship, Ariel is busily taking courses to cure the pain, during the break while waiting for the new drama, she took one breath and signed up for 4 courses, including: culinary, wine appreciation, creating chocolates and how to brew a good cup of coffee. Her look at life has always been positive, besides enjoyment while learning, she has not forgotten to look for prospects in the new enviroment, she laughed saying: "The teacher for the course is quite good, and good looking, unfortunately he's already married, too bad!"

Actually the courses that Ariel was going to sign up for, also included Flamenco dancing, but becuase that course doesn't finish until mid July, she didn't want to sign up and miss classes, so at the end she gave that up. She straight forwardly said "Very Annoyed", because the dance of Flemenco when danced, "has strength but also not loosing the charm of a female", causes her to long for it. Because she's never been seen dancing on screen, it's very difficult to picture her dancing the Flamenco, speaking, she confidently says: "Those that have seen me dance, all have said it's two different person, really wild ne."

She went to learn wine appreciation had people surprised, she explained, it's because the doctor recommended her mom to drink 100cc grape wine to substitute sleeping pills, so to understand more about wine, as for her drinking level, she laughed: "Just a few cans of beer out, and also diarrhea, not the made to drink."

*****************

New Fuu blog clip of Ariel sending another message to help with aid to the disaster areas (May 26th, 2008), especially after the recent aftershock that caused more deaths and damage

http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=390016825 (credit to baidu, scroll down to clip to watch)

I think she recorded this the same day as she recorded the New Star show, because she's wearing the pink/white same outfit.

**Jilly** · 05-27-08, 07:01 PM

swim mei, haha, Ariel is the kind of person who never stop learning, isn't she? Good for her

I'm surprised that she's taking wine appreciation course though since she doesn't drink. I didn't know that she's into dancing either. I thought she would be too shy to dance hehe... Her comment about the teacher is so funny, lol.

Thanks for the clip. It's really nice that a lot of celebs are encouraging their fans to donate and help out. It's very hard to fathom the scope of the disaster, but we should do our best to help the victims.

I like that Jasmine Tea blue background with white flower. It maches Zai Zai's outfits, haha.

Sora, I finished reading all 122 chapters of Skip Beat. Gosh, I really love Kyoko, Ren, Kuu, and just about everything else about Skip Beat^^ When is the next volume coming out? I wonder if the TV adapation will only use a portion of the story since the manga is not completed yet.

**soratorashi** · 05-28-08, 11:07 AM

see jilly, it's addicting isn't it?!?!? hahaha. i really hope the drama does it justice. especially since i think ariel is really perfect for kyoko.

**siryu** · 05-28-08, 10:52 PM

oh my..
Finished reading all the chapters of SKIP BEAT and it's not finished yet!!!!

I'm so addicted!!!
I don't think Jerry Yan will fit the role of REN.. should be someone who is more charming and mature and good acting skills

hmm...

**Jilly** · 05-29-08, 12:02 AM

siryu, yeah, Skip Beat is so awesome

and I'm in love with Ren, lol

I totally agree with you... after reading the manga, I'm the more convinced that Jerry is not suitable as Ren. As you've mentioned, he's not charming enough and his acting skills are not great enough. Both Kyoko and Ren are supposed to be "the scary kind of actors" (actors with unlimited potential). Ariel will certainly have no problem carrying out her role, but if Jerry were to be casted as Ren, I doubt he can pull it off. Yes, he did improve a lot since his Meteror Garden days, but it's still not enough to play this complex character. That's just my opinion, though. Anyone has an update on the casting?

**Jilly** · 05-29-08, 12:24 AM

SETTV's idol drama <I Love Shan Bao Mei>

Cyndi Wang has been confirmed to head for a study tour at New York at the end of June. For this cause, she rejected the offer to star in SETTV idol drama, 《我愛珊寶妹》"I Love Shan Bao Mei" and no longer continuing drama fate with Nicholas Teo.

Cyndi Wang was formerly SETTV drama 《我愛珊寶妹》female lead. This series can be considered as a Smiling Pasta Sequel and so it will gather her once more with Nicholas Teo. The only matter was that Nicholas Teo has been confirmed but Cyndi Wang was uncertain. Following the whole drama's changes，the female lead was rumoured to be Ariel Lin, Joe Chen Qiao En and others. However, Ariel was involved in GTV's 《紙玫瑰》"Purple Rose". It is impossible for Chen Qiao En to star in consecutive dramas. Cyndi Wang wanted openly to study in New York. Lately, Director Liu Jun Jie's brain muscles touched on Tammy Chen Yi Rong.

=======================

Whoa, Ariel is on demand! But she's already committed to two dramas now, so she can't possibly star in another drama. That'll be too hectic for her.

**swimfishyswim06** · 05-29-08, 12:55 AM

Jilly Jie, nice icon!

Hehe, yeah, Ariel’s the kind of person who never stops learning *and* who can never keep still! (Haha, reminds me of someone). Anyway, I guess the wine appreciation course will help her select good wines for Mama Lin to drink on doctor’s orders (and it’ll be handy for dinner parties :P) Hehe, I thought Ariel would be too shy to dance, too, but she was the one moving her hips the most in the Indonesian dance that her, Joe and Danson learned. And she was fast dancing a bit in the 100% Entertainment TKA promo New Year’s clip. (Her swing dancing in TKA looked good, too ). Yeah, I liked Ariel’s comment about her teaching and her “wild” dancing

Wow, finished Skip Beat already? You beat me! I’m still on Chpt. 107. I agree, though, it’s sooo good. I wonder if the TV version will create an ending or if they’ll consult with the mangaka or whatever.

About the I Love Shan Bao Mei news, I hadn't heard anything about Ariel or Qiao En considering or being considered for the role. I think it was the reporters making up news again :P But yeah, Ariel doesn't have time for another drama, 'cause Paper Rose is still set for June filming start as far as I know...

Sora, I really hope the drama does Skip Beat justice, too. No more news on it recently, aside from the accusation from the the TV station that Fated To Love You was trying to steal the chicken costume idea from Skip Beat. *rolls eyes* I really do NOT like some of the marketing strategies of the Skip Beat producers, but hopefully the director and cast will do a great job with it, whoever they turn out to be.

Siryu, hehe, Skip Beat’s so good, right? I wonder how much of Jerry considering Skip Beat is rumor and how much is true. No updates on casting. No news on Skip Beat for a long time, except the part I mentioned above about the chicken :P
