Bo Ye is a reluctant big star who entered the entertainment industry to support his family. Now that he has earned enough money and his contract about to end, he happily starts planning for the next stage of his life. Around the same time, unfortunate financial downturn struck his agent, his sister and his best friend. Feeling obligated to help them he contemplates on renewing his contract. Totally depressed by this thought, he buys a lotto ticket hoping that he can win the big one and save him from this dilemma. As luck would have it, he wins the jackpot but loses the ticket before he can cash it. Now he is chasing after a taxi driver, De Xing, all over town in order to get it back.

  I'm quite difficult with dramas and this one... wow. This is just my opinion, you should watch it to be sure, i'm apologetic of watching it, not only reading it coz a lot of people can have different opinions.
  
  Anyway, for me, if you're watching this because of Mike He forget it. Just forget it. His character brings shame to him. He portrayed it well, as always, but it just doesn't fit him. You know his magic spell, that one he always had in his other dramas? This drama is only saved by his presence bt yet it doesn't even let you see that sparkle of him. His character is really low, at least for me.
  
  The main actress too... she doesn't know how to act. She's too automatic, and doesn't fit with Mike He. I heard opinions saying that was because she was not used to good girls roles but still, it's awful.
  
  The drama scenes doesn't seem real and the character feelings as well. They didn't really develop the story and thats a pity.
  
  For me it was not a worthy drama. Ive been looking for more opinions, thought.
  
  The first episode is quite okay but later it just gets worse and worse.
  There's not emotions, I can't feel anything from the drama and i think the things we get the most from dramas and make us like it more are the feelings the drama gives us.
  
  I'll quote here a review of blog.dramafever.com: "Calling for Love is not a bad drama. It’s even fairly charming in its own low-key way. But a cast of talented actors seems wasted in a drama that can best be described as inoffensive."
  
  I don't really like to tell people bad comments that make them not watch it.. but after this drama i cant think otherwise. read more

  the problem with this drama was that the story seems unreal or too good to be true...the writer did not really put too much thought, i guess...
  
  beware: spoiler ahead!!!!!!!!!:
  - winning 300 million NT and lost the ticket?
  - a very famous star but have no money?
  - a very rich son but working as a taxi driver?
  - a poor but pretty woman taxi driver with unknown rich father?
  
  The acting was good, i like mike he and charlene choi.
  
  I didn't notice the music so have no comment.
  
  If you really really like mike he :) then it's ok to rewatch
  
  Overall, it is one of the worst mike he's drama, but if you are Mike he fans, and you want to watch all of his work... then watch this, you won't regret it... read more

  Skip Beat!

  Even though this is not exactly the same, the plot somehow is similar - both are in the showbiz world and have to deal with a really difficult actor. It's a romantic story, also funny :)
