Miss No Good will have you completely laughing hilariously as Rainie puts on the best show as the over-the-top Xiao Hua, the christmas tree. (That'll make sense once you watch the show).

From beginning to end, Miss No Good made me happy like no other, it was my guilty pleasure and I was looking forward to Xiao Hua charming the cold exterior behind the ML, Tang Men. This drama also succeeded in teaching me one of the most important lessons which is to love yourself and if someone truly loves you, they'll love you for you and not the person you change yourself to be.

Overall, this drama is very lighthearted but also heart warming. I didn't know what to expect when starting this drama but it easily stepped into one of my favorite Rainie dramas to date.

Forgive me; I actually liked this drama. This is one of the only dramas I have watched more than once. I don't really have a good reason for doing so, but I'll try to voice why I loved this show so much.
I'll get some thing out of the way first: Wilber and Dean are terrible actors. Rainie's voice was cute but irritating. OH THE CLICHES!

BUT

the humor was there and was strong enough to bring me back another time. There was chemistry between the two leads. They were cheesy, albeit fun. I did say the guys were bad at acting, but all you have to do is suspend disbelief (that people could act so fake) and find the heart that's there.

I guess most people just don't see the cuteness and purity of this drama. If I were to rewatch any drama with horrible acting, cliches, and over the top fluffiness, I'd pick this one.

I found this show to be hysterical. I really, really liked how eccentric she was and it was interesting given the male lead's utterly snobbish personality. He clearly did not know what to make of her. Kind of like Nodame Cantible.

The romance seemed a little rushed at the end--maybe if they had given it 20 episodes it would have been better.

wahh...from all the reviews on this drama, be it on this site or others it seems that not many people liked it. But i did. Why? many of you said Rainie`s voice in this drama was bad, her acting too, i didn`t felt this way, i actually liked her and acting like that i`m sure it wasn`t easy. It was something different from usual so it`s not bad. I felt that the dramas i`ve saw before all had something in common but not this one. At first i wasn`t sure if i`ll like it but i still gave it a try. For those who said that her voice was too high pitched i`m telling you to watch "Fated To Love You"; now this drama really had high pitched voices and fells really noisy (but it`s not a bad one).



Now about the story - it was a good one, not that complicated, funny, a bit strange with silly things but good and not too long with dragging on the story. What i didn`t liked are the last 5min of the show, i hoped of a little different ending. Acting/Cast - all of them played their roles great and the cast was great. Even though i`m used to see Rainie play with Mike He, this time acting with Pan Wilber he showed us a different Rainie a cute and silly one and they had good chemistry. Pan Wilber was really good in this drama (hope i can see more with him) and i think his kissing technique was one of the best. Music - kinda poor but not bad. Maybe when i`ll be bored i`ll re-watch it. So overall i gave it a 9 since i had fun watching and wasn`t bored at all.

I didn't like this drama at all. Actually I came way close to hating it. The acting was absolutely WTF! And the storyline had so much potential it could have been a great drama but the acting faile.

Rainie acting was SOO DISAPPOITING. I have seen most of her drama and this is one of her worse. Her voice is in this is JUST KILL ME. I wanted to punch her sometimes so she could start talking normally.

I don't recommend anyone to watch this drama. Full of disappointment.

I love Rainie but this was a really bad acting job. I know that she was trying to be like cute and whatnot, but that I thought about mentally handicaped person in an adults body. I was only able to watch the whole drama b/c I thought the story was really interesting. I would have liked it more if they had just acted it normal.

The main reason why I like Miss No Good so much is a sentimental one. It's the first drama I ever watched in high school and I recently rewatched - it made me fall back in love with Asian dramas and now I can't stop looking for more!

The last four episodes aren't my favourite. They seem to get a different tone compared to the rest, perhaps because they get more into the dramatic parts of the show. The finale seemed a bit rushed, but nonetheless, it was a great drama (very very funny!) and the behind the scenes were hilarious!

Got to agree this is Raine at her pantomime acting, high pitched voice worst. I've seen her put on much better performances, if only she would tame it down a little.

Also, why do Taiwanese directors insist on filming their dramas in these huge modern echoey houses, makes the whole screechy voice thing that much worse.

Quirky, Adorable" Xiao Hua" And That's About It

This drama featured 14 years ago with the forever cute and delightful Rainie Yang as Xiao Hua. She would have been 24 years old then. I do not think there will be any other actress who can showcase Xiao Hua the way she did. Absolutely on point.
Xiao Hua is quirky, have her own strange way of dressing, adorable, transparent and wears her heart on her sleeve. She owns her own jewelry accessory shop and lives with her dad and grandmother.

The whole drama revolves around Jia Si Le (childhood friend) and Tang Men (played by Will Pan) who loves Xiao Hua, and Jiang Mi who is in love with Jia Si Le. A triangle of sorts, and with that comes lots of drama and mis-understanding sending cute Xiao Hua into a frenzy. In her silliness, smarts and honesty (Xiao Hua who has a good heart, strong determination and love for everyone around her), one cannot help but root for her as she tries to sort out all the complication around her.

The storyline, the characters and production are nothing much to shout about. Acting all round were pretty average. I only watched this drama because of Rainie Yang. She did a really good job of bringing so much color to her character. Understanding Mandarin will help immensely, to appreciate the way Xiao Hua expresses herself. I laughed so much. There were many laughable moments, like why she needs to give every object she likes a 'name'?. She gave a hairdryer the name "hu-hu", when asked why, she said, if there is no name, "How can I greet them??" . There were also moments in her character's simplicity and innocence brought tears to my eyes.

In this drama, I was also keen to see talented singer Will Pan and Rainie's chemistry, which was fun to watch. Unfortunately, Will's acting left much to be desired, but enjoyed his pairing with Rainie. The music and theme songs did not disappoint, reminiscing with Rainie's "Take Me Away" (Dai Wo Zou) and Will's "Summer Madness" (Xia Re Feng).

If you like romantic comedy, lots of silly light entertainment, this would be a drama you will like.
