damsel in a dress

Watch out Jang Geun Suk, Jiro Wang is some serious competition ;) I am so glad Jiro Wang got this role. Ever since Hana Kimi I was hoping for him to get the main lead in a romance and get the girl! He is really good at playing quirky Huang Tai Qing. <3
I did hope the Taiwanese cast would come up with a better actress for Gao Mei Nan. She is still far better than Park Shin Hye, but still...
Again, they have made brilliant choices for the manager and director. I love those support roles and although they are very different from the ones in the other versions I admire their interpretation of the characters.
All in all I wish they would divert more from the Korean version. If I wanted an exact copy in another language I'd just watch the korean version with chinese dubbing... Usually the taiwanese versions are more unique. More daring in giving the story a new twist- but it's not far into the drama yet, so maybe that will come!

Just changed my mind over the last episodes. Like him much better than the king now :D

Shirota yu as Raj? I dunno. Mister-always-second-place to feature as yet another luckless support role?
That would be such a waste!

I love this recommendation! Chinese productions are often neglected with the Hallyu going around. So I agree with you that sometimes one just needs something else. I also enjoy a good romcom. I have not seen any of those movies but certainly will now! Thanks!

I really like this drama and all its predecessors but really, the first episode is horrible. If I see one more version of "unconvincing-nun-in-training clinging to a naked alabaster david" I'll go spare.
I wish I had skipped the first and started right on the 2nd episode. If there ever is a chinese version of this I hope I'll remember this...
Up until now Jeremy was always my favourite character. And every single time I wished she'd take him. But just this once I'll think I am pro Huang tai qing.

thanks for the friend req :)

thanks for the friend req :)

Not necessarily better. But just as much!

The amount of kissing and cuddling going on in this drama *wuza!!!* <3

I see where you are coming from. The whole cinderella story is underlying quite a lot of dramas :)

But really I always though that "Gold digger" refers to females who exclusively go for rich guys?!
In that case neither "Secret garden" nor "F4" falls into that category. They don't go for the male lead because he is rich/wealthy. The relationship is more or less forced upon them and they eventually fall for the guy.
Rather "Cheongdamdong Alice" would be a good example. She explicitly says that she want to enter high society...

Agreed. He was good. At being evil that is XD He was several miles over the madness horizon and accelerating. He was right out there with Prince whatshisname from Faith.
Also Se Na & Tae Mu from Rooftop Prince.

Okay, sound alright. I'll try it! Thanks for the update!

Before starting this: I just saw the korean version and haven't seen a drama so bad in a while. >_> Sorry, even though the actors deserve some credit, the story was not very well developed, the characters were inconsistent and Oh Ha Ni was just getting on my nerves. The whole lovestory was so unbelievable and unrealistic. Is the j-version any better?

Loved K.Will's Please don't. But making it into a drama? I could totally see the melancholy-level rising. I keep my hopes up, for it to be a Happy Ending story, if it were ever turned into a drama. <br />It would have to be really well done to be convincing :) The actors would have to be outstanding as well. You are right Seo In Guk, was so believable in the MV *love*. But if it ever came out, I'd watch it.

How about Escaflowne? Someone may even come up with a decent ending *hehe*

OMO is that airing date final? CAN'T WAIT! Please let this be good. But so far the t-version of the asian threesomes have not disappointed me *yay*

You totally didn't metion all the pricy cars! They are everywhere. Who could forget Jang Geun Suk's blue AUDI in You're beautiful?

So disappointing. I was looking forward to this drama. Everybody was talking about how this. But it really isn't gripping at all. After the background story I thought: okay if the next one isn't convincing I'll drop it. I thought maybe the main leads can turn this around. But they didn't. It's not bad acting, but this drama doesn't make me feel anything. Jang Ok Jung is the better historical drama at the moment.

May I just say, Chae Sang Woo is an incredible actor for his age! I think he will be really popular and famous later...

I really hope LSG is turning this around. I really liked him in King2Hearts but not that much in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho... So depending on his performance I'll decide. So far I found the acting disappointing.
