I'm currently watching this series now.

Pretty good. It doesn't feel like the other Taiwanese idol drama I have watched like 'Rolling Love', 'TKA', 'KO One' etc. It feels more real and down to earth. Maybe it's the filming style. There are no dream sequences or outrageous scenes (or exclamation marks, flying crows etc). Still kinda romantic.

Why no one commented? No one is watching this series beside me?

Watching episode 3 now. Still interesting. Feels sorry for Joan (Chen Yu Fan). Finally got accepted by the girl he has courted for a year and then saw the girl kissing another guy not long after. So sad.

Saw in wikipedia that the ratings so far range from 0.55 to 0.79. Do TVBS series always get this low ratings?

heyy its the little brother from devil beside you! lol

Yeah, that's him. His character is a ver likeable one. Very optimistic about life eventhough he's crippled and very generous and kind-hearted. But, he's not totally devoid of self-esteem problem. When it comes to the girl he likes, he still doesn't dare court her or confess to her because of his handicap.

Nice picture.

I'm liking this series more and more. The main couple is interesting. The main guy might be physically fit but, he's emotionally handicapped due to being abandoned by his mother right after he was born and his father marrying a woman only 12 years older than him, which he could not accept.

The premise of the series in roughly like this:

5 years ago, the main girl Summer was very unhappy and tried to commit suicide because she felt that she was the one who caused her father to commit suicide (Her father business' failed and he didn't have money to send Summer overseas to study. She was very unhappy about it. Her father, wanting to realise her wish of studying overseas, commited suicide in hope of getting insurance money for her to further her study). Her father was still in intensive care when Summer was on the rooftop trying to commit suide. There, she met the main guy Hao Zhe, who was on the rooftop looking over the city to release his unhappiness. Hao Zhe talked her out of commiting suicide. But, when she was going to turn back, she slipped. Hao Zhe tried to grab her and they both fell down. Both landed in the hospital. In the hospital, they shared intimate moments together and have heart to heart talk with one another. They planned to keep in contact, but, somehow, lost contact with one another. 5 years on, they were still in love with one another. Everyday, they will pray for one another's well being without miss. They met again in the present, but, Summer thought Hao Zhe was her friend's fience. Hao Zhe, in order to get close to Summer (he didn't even managed to get her name last time), agreed to marry his 'fiancee', but, never have any plan to actually go through the wedding. The story will go on after that with Hao Zhe and Summer getting married, face marriage problem, divorce etc.

Love this series! Blue Lan & Annie Liu are so comfortable and a lot of chemistry between them.

Can't wait til their movie "Love to Death" come out eventhough I don't understand Mandarin much but definately I'll buy this movie when it come out on DVD.

I am starting to watch this series in viet. Seems to have a lot of potential.

[asdf]

I was nuts about this series for ONE week, and now I am over it because TOO many things are way too ridiculous and the hundred and million plot holes that just make it one sick joke.

That set aside, I think it was Lan Zheng Long's good looks, the good chemistry, and theme song by Fish Leong that may save it a bit.

A lot of it was WAY too 2D. The evil girl had no dimension, you could replace her with any typical k-drama or c-drama spoiled rich brat villainess, and you would be nothing zippo.

Blue does a great job, but his story is so typical--estrangled rich family, stubborn hot rich guy, cold on the outside, sensitive on the inside.

The female lead is also very typical--damsel in distress, likes to cry on random spots, poor but motivated, soft at the right times, strong when facing adversity, blah blah blah.

Meh, and it was so rude of them to interrupt the wedding like that. Even if the rich girl deserved it.

But overall, just way too unrealistic except for SOME scenes to really deserve any true praise.
*spoiler*






Then she has this male-lover wannabe who *SURPRISE* ends up with her best friend.

And omg, she gets pregnant! How many times have we seen that before? And then the guy tries to win her back, but oh no,
SURPRISE, she gets amnesia!

And OF COURSE, the parents have to object to everything.

I bet I can predict the outcome of the story, Blue & Annie have alot of chemistry look so cute together. They need to spicy things up I'm all for happy ending, but please give female lead some backbone
