Note: Those who've read the previous post would already have read this. I decided to split the BTS into a stand-alone post because I updated the previews. Also, now we can focus (comments) on the fun!<br />

A treat for you guys - <b>little bites of the BTS</b> (which is way more fun than the actual drama). Watching the BTS makes me a lot happier, and reminds me of why I watch this not-very-interesting drama. Some things they do as they rehearse for the scenes, so it's done as their characters, but these cuts usually involve NG takes, which is done by the actors themselves so I've used their names instead. Enjoy!</div>

<b>Bite 1: George Hu is a fruit ninja.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have no idea why they did this (I haven't watched Ep 10) but the cast often amuse themselves in inexplicable ways. Annie puts an eye mask on George and spins him around. She guides him as he lays down a bat on a watermelon. </div>

And then he lets out this tribal cry, "AARHH!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Annie tells him to remove his mask to see the damage he did. He takes it off, and the watermelon carnage hilariously shocks him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then he decides one shouldn't waste food, so he picks up some bigger pieces, stuffing them into his mouth before offering some to Annie (or Ni Ni, as they call her).</div>

<b>Bite 2: I'm supposed to hug you, don't take advantage of me! (because it's not the same)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are rehearsing for the barbeque scene. Supposedly, the smoke hurts his eyes and George rubs them. Annie is supposed to blow on his eyes to make him feel better. Annie tells the reporter, "I have something up my sleeve." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She turns to blow, and conveniently mixes her saliva into it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then after that, they hear a supposed sound in the distance, and George rehearses reacting to it by hugging Annie close.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Annie consults the script properly and exclaims, "Hey, I'm the one who's supposed to hug you! Don't keep trying to take advantage of me!" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Bite 3: Never give boys (or maybe just George Hu) a water gun.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So they have a water gun fight scene. George is supposed to shield Annie from the water attacks.</div>

At first, he does and goes over to pick up the water gun on the bench. And then he turns around, "You guys are ALL DEAD!"<br />

As the scene is cut, MC40 (James) and Xiao Ba (Fei Fei) immediately shout at him: "Why were you shooting all over the place?!" "We're just filming! Calm down!"<br />

They prepare for another take, this time with Granny and Ginger Yao (Jessica) in the scene as well. Annie remains the only one without a water gun, as she hides (and fails) behind George.<br />

Annie says to the reporter, "I swear he wasn't protecting me at all." MC40 jumps in to say, "Yeah, basically he was just shooting at all of us, and leaving Ni Ni at the back." Left without defense, George turns and says, "Well, because I was actually aiming at you."<br />

I wasn't very excited in translating this preview, because SETTV cheated by recycling scenes (which made me go, hey I already did that!) and adding a few new lines of dialogue. Which also meant that the highlight of the previous preview (woo they rhyme) did not actually happen in the episode.</div>

<i>This is a new screencap! I swearz!</i></div>
<br />
It may or may not be the reason, but ratings for Episode 10 dipped again to 2.07. And reflecting that, this post isn't all that uplifting.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the conflict is finally here, and I can only say - I don't really care anymore. Chalk it up to a general decline of interest in the whole show, but I also think I waited too long for this to happen which made it utterly predictable and boring. And though I feel bad for saying this about a senior citizen (being Asian and all), I think part of the blame lies with the actor who doesn't really make me feel much. I remember having a spot of pity for him during that scene in the graveyard (which was what? Ep 2? 3?) but after that, his face generally spots the same expression - stoic (because cops are always stern!) with a hint of a smile so we still know he's the "good" guy. </div>
<br />
On the other hand, we have Zhou Kuan (aka Daddy Zhou) who seems much more human in comparison. Perhaps it's the writing which developed his character more. But what does it say when I care more about the mobster family than the (supposedly) better law-abiding ex-police family? Of course, this then might be a writing problem, because we got some development on one side and we empathized with them, but then we forgot about the other side as the story went about awkwardly giving the leads plenty of time because the point of the show was to get them together.<br />
<br />
Some of you remarked at the weird pacing of the couple. I'd say that the whole drama so far has felt draggy, because the truth has to be faced: this drama was fan service for George & Annie fans. There is virtually no plot at all, and no stakes involved as far as the show is right now. The dad disagrees - then what? If they are split up - then what? I'm not saying there needs to be a life-or-death situation, but it also feels like both of them aren't that much better or worse off together.<br />

Actually I'm more interested in the development of the second leads in this one. I like Zhe Xuan's character - he's been the highlight for me in most of the scenes he's appeared in. And I like how he stands up to Ying Ying and says all the things that no one else dares or wants to say to her. The two of them (well mostly Ying Ying) were mostly used for comic relief before, but I like the direction that they're going in now.<br />

Well well well... looks like the characters have decided to act in rational ways, and some of the conflicts were speedily resolved (although if it was so simple, we wonder why they dragged out the secrets). I guess the bigger one will come soon enough, when Xiao Shu's parents find out about Zhou Zhen. The OTP relationship moves ahead without obstacles for now, and it's confessions (swoony) time! </div>

Thanks to Chloe for updating in my absence (and I did have a lovely trip hehe) and personally I thought she made everything sound much more interesting hah. Perhaps we should have her come weigh in again some time - just to shake things up *wink wink* Haven't caught up to the series yet to be honest, been in a lazy funk since the trip. So this post will be slightly better in that I know the premise and characters, but I'm gonna be guessing along too heh. Not that it's that difficult a nut to crack.<br />
<br />
Sounds like the big secret's gonna be out the bag, which is about right since we're probably near the mid-mark of the series. Now that the leads have pretty much got their feelings out in the open (from what I see in the previews anyway), let the true conflicts begin!<br />

And just to clarify, although this has been mentioned before: The drama airs every SUNDAY NIGHT, from 10:00-11:30 pm (GMT/ UTC+8). The availability online depends on uploaders obviously, but at least 2-3 hours <u>after it ends</u> would be a reasonable breathing space.<br />
<br />
Ratings for Episode 7 was 2.22, slightly down from 2.53 (series highest so far) of Episode 6.<br />

(seriously, I <i>really</i> don't know what the hell is happening here). I don't follow this show, and my blogging buddy Snow L has gone for a holiday (lucky kijibae) hence here I am, following up on her. So excuse me while I make wild trajectories based on 33 seconds of random shots (less if you exclude the channel/time reminder bit at the end). Detective Chloe unravels the truth, after the cut!<br />

Some lady (friend? colleague?) of Xiao Shu calls Zhou Zhen, asking whether he has seen XS or not. "It seems that she's in trouble," she tells him. Car screeches, it's Zhou Zhen attempting to Tokyo Drift. Dude, I'm feeling carsick-y and I'm not even in the car.<br />

With this body contact, she thinks of that three-step-to-confession and is all flustered wondering what's next, "Kissing??" She steps away and asks Zhou Zhen, "Please stay further away from me."<br />

Already in the corner, Zhou Zhen can do nothing, but he backs up anyway. And then, he STICKS himself to the wall of the lift. Then when it didn't seem enough, he turns around and puts his face as near the wall as possible. LMAO.<br />

-----------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Hahahaha.... I'm pretty sure it isn't an actual confession - although they are flirting like the bees to the flowers and all that. However the scene pans out, fans are already all agog over the swooniness that comes when these two pretty people start touching and looking at each other like that.<br />
<br />
I watched Episode 4 last night, and I was really quite entertained by it all. Sure, the convenient cliches are still all there, but it seems that the story has finally found its groove, and the direction that it's taking. We got to concentrate more on the inter-relationships now that our heroine is facing the big challenge of keeping her radio station from Daddy Zhou. Daddy Zhou is not as childish and selfish as we thought, but one who is intent of protecting his children from having to live with the sins he committed in the past. Zhou Zhen has to decide between his father's intentions and his own, which will affect Xiao Shu in opposite ways.<br />
<br />
And hopefully between all that, we get some intense make out sessions and touchy-feely times for no reasons. Just to smooth things over and for stress release, yunno.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7477776847285122127.post-11760206338136946202013-07-01T01:19:00.001+08:002013-07-20T06:43:49.121+08:00Love Around Episode 5 Preview (Updated)Look at them, tumbling on a bed already!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I haven't watched the latest episode yet again, but suffice to say it seems that after Zhou Zhen works together with Xiao Shu, their interactions bring about all sorts of budding feelings, which is obvious immediately to all around them. I'm amused by how many damsel-in-distress situations the writers can throw Xiao Shu into - because that saved-by-Zhou Zhen thing has long gone past 3 and counting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You may have noticed that I haven't done a recap for Episode 3: I've decided not to recap this series after all. I did watch that episode and am glad to report that it was a much better one, mostly because I loved the whole part where Xiao Shu met Zhe Xuan again. Much as I liked it (slightly more), I didn't feel a burning need to talk or write about it, and I decided then that I'd enjoy the show better without thinking too hard about anything.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead, I'll just update with the previews, which I enjoy doing. And they are a short and fast way for people to keep track, if you ever feel like jumping in.</div>

Zhou Zhen accuses his dad of acting like a mobster - and in the next scene, we see him reversing a car to hit another one, just so the (likely) owner will come out and finally grant them a meeting. Hah. I think he may be more like his dad than he realizes...Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7477776847285122127.post-27479616347108681012013-06-21T22:55:00.000+08:002013-07-20T06:46:27.921+08:00Love Around Episode 2<div style="text-align: justify;">
We get to see more family background to our main leads, which explains some motivations and provide comic relief. There's an addition to the cast in this one - a most welcome quirky character and one that I *gasp* am actually curious about. Some scenes still feel out of place and the interest level isn't that much improved over the first episode.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I'm not sure if I still want to continue recapping this drama, unless there's a huge swing in terms of plot and narration. Although I love our main couple as much as any other, it isn't incentive enough for me to want to write about it when there are other shows out there that make me grip my seats, unable to sit still. At the moment, I'm enjoying bits and pieces of the show but at the back of my head, I realize that there isn't much going on. I'll still probably watch it every week since it's the summer holidays, but I really hope there is more to the premise. Chop chop writers.</span><br />

Ratings broke 2 this week, bringing it up to 2.16. Guess the Taiwan audience do still love the OTP.<br />

We continue from the police station, where Zhou Zhen is desperately shaking Xiao Shu to wake up so that she can explain the misunderstanding. She does, though not before knocking him on his chin with her head and throwing up all over him first (female-lead-drunk-throwing-up-on-male-lead trope check).<br />

Xiao Shu apologizes and thanks Zhou Zhen for all his help so far. He thanks her for the dinner and advises her not to drink so much in the future. He gives her the baseball bat, which holds no meaning for her now. "Even if it hurts, what should end should be ended once and for all." Zhou Zhen gets a call from his sister informing him that his Granny had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital. She requests for some money to take a taxi back before he leaves. She asks for his contact to return money to him, but he tells her to forget it. She borrows his phone on the pretext of calling for a taxi but calls her friend Jessica instead and tells her to keep this number.<br />

She wishes him Happy Birthday one last time, only for him to say that it's over. She wishes him happiness anyway. I realize it one second before she does, HER CURFEW. "I'm dead! What time is it now, what am I going to say?!" Haha.<br />

She not-so-stealthily creeps home, only to be caught by her Mum. Xiao Shu is teary already from the worry she's caused and her misery. She tells her Mum about Jason, and Mum immediately breaks into a litany calling Jason all sorts of names. Aw. Xiao Shu apologizes and Mum tells her not to get so drunk again next time. They wonder about Dad, at which point he shows up.<br />
<br />
Mum shouts loudly, "Liang Xiao Shu! Kneel down!" and picks up the feather duster. Xiao Shu whispers, "Don't hit me so hard!" Lol. This pair of mother-daughter. Mum chases Xiao Shu around for a bit and shouts at her for making them worry all night, shouting at one point, "Did you see Jason cheat on you, and that made you so sad and you got drunk?" Haha so transparent. Dad finally calls a halt to their antics.<br />

Xiao Shu apologizes again to Dad. Dad strictly says, "Making a mistake, disappointing people, and then asking for forgiveness is useless." Mum helps her again, and Dad lets her off. He says that this kind of man was not worth her tears anyway, and hands her a tissue to wipe her tears. Aww Daddy has a soft heart too.<br />

A parade of men in suits stand on two sides, parting like a sea for Zhou Da Kuan, Kuan Ge a.k.a. Zhou Zhen's Dad. They greet him loudly, making him cringe and tell them to tune it down and call him "Director" instead, although he still basks in the adulation. Turns out that the men are followers of two other triad bosses, who have come to visit. When Zhou Zhen shows up, the men echo, "Young Master!" Hah. You can leave the mob, yet the mob never leaves you.<br />

They enter the room where Granny and Ying Ying are desperately looking for something. This is my favourite granny in the whole TW-dramaverse - she manages to be cute and manipulative but still lovable all at the same time. Turns out Granny is looking for her mobile phone because she needs to pass Level 125 and go into other people's home to get treasure. LOL. Father and Son just sigh at her.<br />

Zhou Zhen steps forward and recovers it easily from her pocket. He talks as if to a child, reminding her to only play for an hour, and to use the tablet when they reach home (presumably bigger display is less strenuous but I'd argue it harms the eyes all the same). He questions as to the reason Granny had a heart attack in the first place - turns out they had a round of mahjong, and they let her win too much, which made her too excited resulting in her heart attack. Most creative reason I've heard yet.<br />
<br />
They lay blame on one another, ending somehow in it being Zhou Zhen's fault when she says she got bored waiting for him to come back to celebrate his birthday. Ying Ying teases Granny for her favouritism, but Granny retorts she was happy too "when you brought me red wine". Oops. <br />

Ying Ying gets chewed out by her brother again. The doctor proclaims Granny well enough to be discharged.<br />
<br />
We go to a cemetery, where Xiao Shu and her parents pay respects to her brother. A bouquet of flowers lays there, angering Mum because it is left there every year, as if mocking them. Uh oh... I have a bad feeling about this - obviously mob related, but please don't let it be related to Zhou Da Kuan. Dad doesn't betray much emotion as Xiao Shu and Mum talk to Zhi Kai. He excuses himself to get rid of the flowers.<br />

Zhou Da Kuan is home, listening to Asia FM. Based on a tip from a netizen, Xiao Shu takes to the air to talk about successful businessman "Zhou Da X", otherwise known as "Director Zhou, Mr. Zhou X Kuan". HAHA. She effectively gives away his full name while maintaining the semblance of anonymity. The netizen's complaining because he had planned to propose to his girlfriend and booked the restaurant a month earlier. The restaurant manager called him to cancel his booking due to some kitchen mishap. It was alright until he passed by the restaurant on the actual day and saw the manager greeting Director Zhou, who supposedly booked the entire restaurant for a meal.<br />

Xiao Shu "Xiao Xia" argues that ex-triad boss Kuan Ge was exercising some special privileges just to have a meal. It makes me think this whole "I can't have people around me" business runs in the entire family. She also sheds suspicion on whether his company legitimately won the tenders for other projects or because of his background. She invites discussions, so that they can "catch the bad guy."<br />

It has Zhou Da Kuan in knots, calling in to the radio station to speak up for himself. He tries to clarify that Mr Zhou may not have known about the previous booking and merely made a call for a meal to the restaurant, without requesting anything. They soon get into a heated debate on-air as Zhou Da Kuan insists that she's prejudiced and Xiao Shu retorts that he's an ex-triad boss pretending to be a good guy. Mad and frustrated, he ends the call and orders his assistant to buy the radio station in a month.<br />

Philip drives Zhou Zhen to the music academy while he snoozes. When Zhou Zhen questions it, Philip reminds him that it was what he did for the past two weeks - stopping to check on Pin Yin before work. He tells Philip to stop driving him there from now on, determined to also break off his ties cleanly. He gets a call from Xiao Shu asking if he has time that night, intending to pay him back. He flatly refuses. Philip teases that he dined with someone last night. Hee.<br />

A card from Ying Ying informs him that Pei Li has a birthday party that night that he must attend. It comes with a bow, and Philip muses if she meant for Zhou Zhen to tie it on himself as a present. Yes, please, thank you very much.<br />

A man straightens up the files and tables - we meet our new character - accountant GAO ZHE XUAN (Jack Li). The client apologizes for their delay and hopes that he can help them submit the documents in time for the deadline tomorrow. Zhe Xuan questions if that means they want him to work overtime (which means more money). The client is unsure, but Zhe Xuan merely wants to appropriate blame in the right places: the clients were the ones who left things till the last minute, was it fair that he should have to rush and work overtime for them? He smiles anyway and assures them that he'll get the work done. I LIKE HIM.<br />
<br />
Ying Ying saunters down the street in a qipao (Chinese traditional costume) with earphones as a motorbike comes dangerously close. Zhe Xuan grabs her and we get the requisite 360-degree romantic spin (another drama trope checked).<br />

Ying Ying is obviously impressed until he lets her up, and a bucket of water from two proprietors of the shop behind them falls splash! on her. No longer the femme fatale she envisions herself to be, she lets out an ear-splitting shriek and rounds on all of them, demanding their apology.<br />

Zhe Xuan, in his practical manner, puts the blame on her as she had earphones on, necessitating his actions and leading to the accident. He hands his name card to the proprietors in case they need his help and walks off. HEH. We need more of him on this show. Ying Ying learns his name and swears that he'll regret for not apologizing to her.<br />
<br />
Xiao Shu is at the KTV for their radio station employee night. She gets notes from all her colleagues, giving excuses for not coming. I almost think they're going to pop out and shout "surprise!" but that doesn't happen. In the only one KTV in Taipei, Ying Ying is partying with Pei Li and their friends when Zhou Zhen shows up to give his present. Their theme has changed to a pajama party LOL. Ying Ying pushes Pei Li towards her brother, calling THAT a proper present. I'd agree, if it weren't such a cringe-worthy moment.<br />

Zhou Zhen leaves the room and sees Xiao Shu singing in another room nearby. Since they've met, Zhou Zhen has no reason to reject her and she finally returns his money. He asks after her and she tears up again. He comforts her, saying that she'll meet a better person, that she's "someone worthy to be loved". The song "I Will Be Around" comes up and she decides to sing it, deciding that he can sing the male part since he knows it as well. Aha. I've almost forgotten she's yet to know that he's Mr. J. She drags him to his feet and he sings along with her.<br />

Xiao Shu retraces her steps, trying to find her phone, which leads her to scumbag's house. She decides that her revenge the previous night was too childish, and she wants to do something big this time round. She grabs a can of yellow paint... and writes on Jason's wall. Zhou Zhen eyes her in disbelief, and takes over, splashing the whole can of paint onto the wall, "This is what it means, to do something big."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Xiao Shu laughs as she thinks how angry scumbag Jason will be, trying to figure out who did it. Except she turns around and sees Jason coming back with a few thugs in tow. He had brought them back to lay in ambush, but there was no question now that the tires were done by them too. Xiao Shu steps in front of Zhou Zhen, prompting Jason to say that the two of them are acting mighty suspicious too. He wants to get even for the beatings he received. Zhou Zhen is game but Xiao Shu pulls him away to run.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And so we have them holding hands running away (drama trope check - although there is some gender reversal going on). She slips, and Zhou Zhen does a Superman-like move, catching her so that she lands on him (and another female-lead-landing-whole-body-on-male-lead drama trope check - too bad I don't drink or this could be a drinking game ala Dramabeans). Also, are they continuing that thing from Love, Now? Where the person belongs to you after you save them three times? 'Cos that's the 2nd time now that Zhou Zhen's whirled her around to save her, just sayin'.<br />

The thugs catch up with them now. Zhou Zhen disposes of them easily, with quick, fierce and strong moves while Xiao Shu stands terrified on the side.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Scumbag that Jason is, he picks up a rock and grabs Xiao Shu in a headlock. Zhou Zhen demands for her to let go and scumbag tells him to kneel. Xiao Shu makes a valid argument here - Jason wouldn't dare do anything to her - but Zhou Zhen obviously cannot abandon a damsel in distress (I know, I said this before). It leads to a round of Xiao Shu calling him not to kneel, while scumbag keeps demanding that he kneel, leading to Zhou Zhen's capitulation by kneeling down. (proud-male-lead-kneeling-for-female-lead drama trope check). Xiao Shu struggles, "Zhang Jian Wei! The things I hate the most in my life are the triad and gangsters, your actions right now are really despicable!" ARGH. Way to kick the <strike>puppy</strike> man when he's down.<br />

Jason orders the men to hit Zhou Zhen now and the men pummel him over and over as Xiao Shu cries from the helplessness.. I notice that they're not hitting his face though (no messing with the pretteh). Xiao Shu thinks, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm sorry." As if he hears her, he thinks back, "Don't apologize. It's not your fault!"<br />

They finally have enough and Jason leaves after threatening her never to come near his house again. Xiao Shu helps Zhou Zhen up and insists on seeing him to the hospital and the police station.<br />

He rejects both places, saying that they should let the matter rest. He wants to see her home instead, and picks her bag up with a stifled groan (one of the sexiest sounds ever).<br />

They reach her house, and he looks at his watch to discover that it's broken from the scuffle. Xiao Shu is apologetic all over again but he takes it as a sign that some things really have ended. She doesn't have any illusions about Jason now, but the point she latches on is: "How could he mix with gangsters?" She notices his expression and he tells her that someone once said the same things she did, also hating the triads.<br />

As Zhou Zhen leaves, he makes an ominous call to Philip, "Do something for me."<br />
<br />
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I dearly hope that he's doing something to get the scumbag back, but that might go against his non-gangster-stuff principles. But my main beef with that whole fighting scene wasn't that he got hit, it was the position of the scene within the narrative. I get that it's supposed to be emotional, that we see the male lead already willing to suffer for the female lead - except that they're not there yet in their relationship. That's why this scene feels tacked on and lacks the emotional punch it could have. There is a reason scenes like this usually come towards the end of a show, or at least when the leads are IN a relationship and there are higher stakes and consequences involved. I found it weird that this scene was in this episode, although it probably was to make Xiao Shu blurt out that line where she hates gangsters and triads the most. That line was indeed the most important line for that scene, or actually for these two episodes combined, because that was the whole conflict in the premise of having an ex-gangster's-son male lead paired with ex-cop's-daughter female lead. I get the end, but in this instance, the end doesn't quite justify the means.</div>

Ok, we have a little more - Zhou Zhen and Xiao Shu go to a baseball match, presumably to cheer and support each other through their break-up slumps, and somehow end up in more skinship-inducing situations. Still not sure what Miss C's deal is.<br />

"Come back to me, come back to me~~" Crap, that song is stuck in my head.<br />
<br />
I have to say, promotions for this show on FB was crazy. The fan page and George updated with teasers and reminders on the hour. It was announced that George himself would be watching the premiere in real life with the fans, and interacting with them on the fan page during advertisements. I guess it made it pretty exciting to be in Taiwan as part of the audience.</div>

I love the opening and ending footage. I think the concept is great - they go through "love influenza" and the shoot plays around with colours: when they are heartbroken, they see only black and white. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The episode was an introduction to the premise - it zips along at a brisk pace, and we get entanglements between characters already. I think the emotional beats are in place, with some unexpected moments of levity and tons of feels for the leads. Ratings came in at 1.86, which is nothing to shout about, but it's a solid start and placed Love Around at the top of its timeslot. Let's hope it continues going upward when the conflicts come into play.</div>

We start seeing our female lead, LIANG XIAO SHU (Annie Chen) on her daily morning commute to work. Then we cut to a sports stadium where our male lead, ZHOU ZHEN (George Hu) is celebrating his birthday with his girlfriend, CHEN PIN YING (Christina Mok). They are all lovey-dovey and the perfect boyfriend presents her with a watch on <i>his</i> birthday as he "wants her to be with him every hour, minute, second". She promises to be his wish and be with him every birthday from now. Precursor of doom, that sentence usually is.<br />

We catch up with Xiao Shu rushing all the way and barely making it to her spot in the station for her DJ session, saying her introduction sentences while catching her breath, welcoming listeners to "Xiao Xia's" time ("Xiao Xia" is a hero/heroine in those ancient Chinese martial arts stories). Listeners are welcome to call in to discuss any matters under the sun, especially those who have been unfairly treated.<br />

Next thing we know, a weirdo calls in saying, "So what colour are your undies today?" LOL. Xiao Xia does not take it lying down and threatens to report him to the police when she finds out his identity. We also meet the rest of her colleagues, JAMES (MC40), JESSICA (Ginger Yao) and FEI FEI (Stephanie Chang), who seem to find her daily enthusiasm and passion amusing.<br />

It seems that the previous scene happened a year before as we now see our perfect boyfriend slumped in front of his TV, watching those sweet scenes amidst beer cans. His assistant, Philip calls him to wish him a happy birthday, further rubbing salt into the wound. Before he gets into the car, he calls Asia FM 92.7 and requests "the usual" song from Xiao Xia.<br />

Xiao Xia sits back and muses on Mr. J (as Zhou Zhen calls himself) calling every day for two weeks now, requesting the same song "I Will Be Around" for his girlfriend, Miss C. She doesn't know what happened and the reason for his persistence but she promises to support him till the end. Zhou Zhen tears up in the car and instructs Philip to take him to the music academy, with Philip sighing that it's already been two weeks.<br />

Miss C is sitting at the piano, having heard his dedication with her laptop. She meets with Zhou Zhen outside, who wants her to take the watch back. She refuses to have anything to do with him as they have already broken up. He can't accept her sudden request and wonders what went wrong. She bites that it was because she was ashamed of him.</div>

She had been fired from several music academies in the past just because when he came to pick her up, parents would soon complain after that she had a gangster boyfriend. She never brought him to meet her friends because she never told them of his existence. Her love for him has all but disappeared because of all the problems brought upon just by being with him. Can't argue with her logic, but gal, you'd better not come back in the future.<br />

He finally accepts that their break-up is final but still insists that she keep the watch. She has no need for it and smashes it to the ground, saying "From now on, my every hour, minute and second, my happiness has nothing to do with you."<br />

Zhou Zhen heads to a baseball center to release his emotions, hitting pitch after pitch. His assistant tries to cheer him up by giving him all sorts of compliments. It only annoys him and he gets banished to stay inside. Haha this assistant is cracking me up.<br />

Xiao Shu has changed her clothes in anticipation of meeting her boyfriend, Jason for his birthday. She goes to a baseball center and intends to buy him a baseball bat when she sees a special autographed one made for Chen Chin-Feng, Taiwan's famous baseball player in the Major League. The salesperson informs her that it's not for sale but it's the prize if she can get first place in their Batting Competition.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Having never played before, she looks for a spot to practice. The staff informs her that there are no empty spots, but Xiao Shu sees an empty spot beside Zhou Zhen and enters. His face says, "Now which annoying gnat is here?" and he coolly tells her that he bought the three spots in a row because he hates having people beside him when he bats. She gets out but then enters his spot and continues arguing with him, "Your actions are just like people who put bags on both sides on the subway, with no concern for others. It's not civic-minded of you to waste resources like this." He merely tells her to clear off again.<br />

The competition starts, with a patron hitting the highest score of 8 pitches. Xiao Shu's turn come up and she makes a great show of prepping. The first ball lands without her even seeing her. Hah. She continues although she gets hit all over by the balls. The host informs her that she'll not win at this rate and just give up. Zhou Zhen watches her from the crowd.<br />

Xiao Shu is examining her bruises when she catches sight of Zhou Zhen hitting ball after ball, back in his spot now. She goes over in awe and begs him to help her win the bat. He turns away and she walks over to persuade him, putting her in line for the ball to strike her. Zhou Zhen quickly grabs her to the other side. SO. HOT. This is obviously why they paired them together again. "How many times do you want to get hit?" he asks.<br />

She tells him that it's her boyfriend's birthday and she really wants to win the bat for him. That of course, gets his attention. Next we see, he's wearing the protective helmet and preparing to bat. He easily hits 10 balls, earning a perfect score and the bat. He tells her to take the bat since he never wanted it anyway.<br />

It rains heavily as Xiao Shu leaves. She hails a taxi and gets in, before realizing that Zhou Zhen's already in it. She realizes her mistake and gets off. He looks at her in the mirror and obviously unable to abide seeing a damsel in distress, goes back and commands her to get in.<br />

She tries to ask him for some tissues to wipe herself but he's closed his eyes. She reaches for the tissue box, which is on his side and falls onto his lap. LOL. He opens his eyes and she scurries away like a squirrel. He hands her the tissue.<br />

She answers a call from her mother and begs her mother to let her stay out later tonight. HAHA SHE HAS A 10PM CURFEW. She begs her mother to help her with her dad since she really wants to spend more time with Jason. She chats happily with her Mum, not realizing that Zhou Zhen's already gotten off at his hotel. She tells the taxi driver to turn back since she should pay him back.<br />
<br />
At the hotel, a staff greets Zhou Zhen, who's the general manager, and asks if he's here to pick up his sister. Zhou Zhen immediately narrows his eyes and asks what is his sister doing here.<br />

We see her swimming in an empty pool with some staff standing by. She even has a companion, PEI LI, whom she sends to arrange for music. Zhou Zhen comes and roars, "ZHOU YING YING!" (Elleya Tao).<br />

She hilariously tries to hide in the pool, holding her breath, hoping that he'll go away. He just bides his time. Of course when she comes up for air, he is standing there like a dark avenger.<br />

He gives her a lecture with her wrapped in a towel. He tells her that she's wasting resources and being unreasonable, that she shouldn't use her privileges like that. She bursts out, "But I hate having people around me when I swim!" Oops, sounds familiar. He at least, appears a little uncomfortable at that, and in a softer tone now, tells his sister not to do it again.<br />

Xiao Shu is now at the hotel and calls her boyfriend, JASON to arrange for dinner. Unfortunately, he tells her that he has to work late at the office. She tries persuading him, even telling him that she pushed her curfew back an hour and she has a great gift for him. We see the scumbag with a girl in his arms and he's kissing her even as he says goodbye to Xiao Shu.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">As she hangs up and starts asking for a "Mr. Zhou", she catches a glimpse of Jason. She follows him to the lift and sees him getting intimate with that wench. She goes back to the lobby and tells the receptionist that one of their guests, Zhang Jian Wei aka scumbag, left something that she wants to pass to him. The receptionist dials his room, which Xiao Shu sees by peeking over the counter. (Finally! One of those getting-hotel-room-number-scene that makes sense!) She rushes off to the lift, at the same time that Zhou Zhen comes back and sees her.</span><br />

Scumbag is getting ready for skivvy times when the doorbell rings to reveal Xiao Shu. He tries to say at first that he is meeting a client but the act is soon up when a female voice calls out for him. He starts giving excuses, but she slaps him as Zhou Zhen arrives at the hallway.<br />

Xiao Shu goes mad with the betrayal and hits and pushes scumbag, demanding how he could do this to her. He stops her and finally says that they should break up since she knows. He's had enough of being with such a prim and proper girl, that she's only ever let him hold her hand in the time that they were together.<br />

He complains about her curfew and says that she's cold and frigid. She stands there silently taking the abuse, and then demands to see the other wench. He finally pushes her till she falls to the ground. "Do you know that you look really pathetic now? Be more mature, ok?"<br />

Zhou Zhen can't take it anymore and hurls a punch at scumbag. NICE. He goes to check on her when the scumbag comes back at him. He easily twists the scumbag's arm behind his back. Xiao Shu tells him to let go, and agrees to the break up. She desolately gets up and leaves.<br />

Zhou Zhen picks up the bat she dropped and goes after her. He finds her sitting on some steps near the beach. He hands her the bat, which just makes her dissolve into tears. He sits down beside her and notes the contrast in her bad-ass attitude earlier at the batting centre and now, when she's just sitting her crying over a scumbag. Speaking now from experience, he says, "When the person doesn't love you anymore, your pleas are just white noise, your tears are just acid rain. You're just wasting your effort."<br />

She sees a couple in the distance arguing. In a rather nice touch, they start putting in the dialogue for the couple they can't hear.<br />
<br />
She: "<i>You're too much. How can you do this to me? I hate you, hate you!</i>"<br />
He: "<i>You hate me, because you like me so very much</i>."<br />
She: "<i>Then why did you betray me? Did I force you to pursue me? From the start, you knew that I was such a prim girl. I never changed. I'm still me.</i>"<br />
He: "<i>You can scold me, hit me but I'll never let go. If you hate me holding on like this, go ahead. I'm not afraid that you'll look down on me, nor do I need dignity, as long as you're willing to keep being with me. Please don't break up with me, please</i>."<br />

Xiao Shu realizes that he also had a break up recently, as Zhou Zhen keeps his tears at bay. The couple in the distance make up and walk away, holding each other, as if they heard what was said.<br />

Xiao Shu finally remembers the reason she came to the hotel and invites Zhou Zhen to dinner at the restaurant she had booked for the occasion, a month ago. At first he thinks that she doesn't want to waste her reservation, but then she summons over staff who come and sing the birthday song. She wishes him, "Happy Birthday, Zhou Zhen."<br />

He's surprised that she knows his name and birthday. So am I. She reveals that she was asked to sign for the bat when he won it earlier, and she saw his name and birthday on the form. Ok, at least that makes sense too. She brings out the cake - and you can just see his face darken when scumbag's face is on the cake. Awk-ward.<br />

She apologizes and starts to clear it away, but he motions for it to remain. And then, STAB! goes his knife smack in the middle of scumbag's head. Methinks he's enjoying this a lot. Hah.<br />

She's shocked until he asks if she's still feeling sorry for him. She responds by stabbing her knife in too. He hands her his fork. Stab-stab-stabbity it goes until she giggles. They agree that it looks better now and order their meal. She asks for the wine menu as well.<br />

He thinks that she shouldn't drink, astutely remarking that a girl who needs permission to stay out later an hour at night would not be a strong drinker. She assures him that she's fine.<br />
<br />
Next we see, Xiao Shu is happily walking in a zig-zag motion while the ever-cool Zhou Zhen follows behind, "One glass of red wine was your definition of a good drinker?"<br />

They stop outside a house. She says that it's the scumbag's place. And car. She wants revenge. He looks on as she ineffectively stabs at the tires with a branch. Sensing that he'll be out all night otherwise, he bends down and helps her by removing one of the screws on the tire rim, letting the air out.<br />

Resigned, he carries her on his back. She stirs awake and he asks for her address. She mumbles "Wu Xing Street.... Dong Xing Street..." He bumps her up and her mobile gets knocked down. She passes out again. Exasperated, he gives another bump and drops her entire bag. I have this feeling this gonna be a problem the next morning.<br />

He brings her to a motel and puts her down on the bed. She turns on her side and her body shakes with silent sobs. He helps her remove her shoes, wipes her tears, tucks her in. Such a knight.<br />

The doorbell rings and it's the police here for a spot check, having received a tip that there were drug deals underway. The male officer asks for his identification. As he goes to get it, the officer sees Xiao Shu's feet and asks for hers as well. He doesn't respond immediately, and the officer asks what is their relationship. He answers that they're friends, and officer asks for her name. Uh oh. He tries explaining that they only met today. LOL. This sounds so bad. See, you should have asked her at dinner!<br />

The female officer takes the cue to move into the room and tries to shake Xiao Shu awake. Xiao Shu says incriminatingly, "Don't touch me! Let me go!" HAHA. Zhou Zhen realizes it's starting to look bad. The officer asks, "Were you planning to drug-rape her?!" "NO!" he asserts. He tries shaking her as well, to no avail. The officer decides, "Sir, we're gonna need you to come with us to the police station."<br />

I think George has done it again - created another image of the perfect guy *groans at the unfairness of it* I mean come on, a bad-ass guy who has gangstah training to protect you from danger but is not really a gangstah and has an emotional soft core at that?<br />
<br />
His chemistry with Annie is obviously still off the charts. I think Annie has improved too - it's funny how in both "Love, Now" and "Love Around", she has a huge crying scene in the first episode. "Inborn Pair" was too far back for me to remember offhand if it also happened. My point being that, I can see the difference she brings to each crying scene, which tells me that she put in a lot of effort in building her characters.<br />

As Love Around ramps up to its premiere tonight <strike>and fills up my FB stream</strike>, we get a slew of goodies coming our way. One of the main reasons I'm tempted to watch the new series, aside from the OTP, is the fact that I've already heard two very catchy and amazing songs on the previews. The moment I heard the title track, I recognized the voice of one of my favourite new male solo singers in Taiwan: <b>Bii</b>. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPFxBrUubvsWhgTufLuvCmJkYyFgUso-THx7X6M4GSyVL64-5L_IMlB50eH2q981l7HIq82QFz3C2kDWPyNvawpl5dg4Zvb-N0foW9xlFTRfD7BkQd7jLKZIzO9PE5LRo4Ie8m42_RAYCX/s1600/Bii.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPFxBrUubvsWhgTufLuvCmJkYyFgUso-THx7X6M4GSyVL64-5L_IMlB50eH2q981l7HIq82QFz3C2kDWPyNvawpl5dg4Zvb-N0foW9xlFTRfD7BkQd7jLKZIzO9PE5LRo4Ie8m42_RAYCX/s1600/Bii.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first time I saw his name, I was like, "Whoa... got some high ambition there, buddy" since the first association would be to the Korean mega-star Bi (Rain). Then I learned that it was due to his mixed heritage: he's half-Korean and half-Taiwanese, and that is his way of saying both sides, identities are all him. Anyway, all that matters not once you start listening to him just KILL it in his songs.</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
I first heard his voice in the OST for Zhong Wu Yen (starring Ming Dao and Cheryl Yang) and since those songs were in his first album, I took a listen to that and became an instant fan. I also have an penchant for all things Korean, so when he sang in Korean, it just won me over all the more. Bii has chosen the Taiwanese side of his heritage, going into the mandatory military service in Taiwan where he served in the marine, and finally gained official Taiwanese citizenship at the end of his service. The title track of his second album, appropriately titled "<i>Come Back to Me</i>" is also the opening theme for our new series, Love Around:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='560' height='315' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/CRJDQQXS4uE?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This song is just perfect as an opening theme with its catchy beat - I especially love the hook just before the chorus, when he inserts the Korean phrase "ireohke ireohke ireohke ireohke" (just like this x4). He also composed and wrote this song himself. The ending theme of Love Around has also been revealed to be yet another song from Bii, <i>Happiness Has Nothing to Do with It</i> (幸福無關). This song is more of a ballad, as is customary for ending tracks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I like to save the best for the last - and THIS, this insert song is likely to become my favourite once I start watching the show - a duet between Bii and another new voice to me, <b>Miu Chu</b> Lijing. Apparently, she was the winner of the Taiwan Super Idol Season 3 competition and from the little I've watched over the years, those competitions do produce fairly high quality singers. I already liked her voice when I heard the song in a preview, and hearing the full track just made me happier - <i>I Will Be Around</i> (我會在你身邊):</div>

The premise of Love Around is actually nothing new - further to what I've <a href="http://chloeplus.blogspot.hk/2013/05/annie-chen-and-george-hu-to-romance.html">previously posted</a>, Zhou Zhen (George Hu) and Liang Xiao Shu (Annie Chen) meet in a DTLY-esque post-breakup, lowest-point-of-their-lives manner. They support and stay by each other to help them both tide over their heartbreak. And gradually of course,they fall in love. Along the way, throw in every cliche you can think of - disapproving father(s?), ex-girl/boyfriends etc. But who are we kidding right? We're not watching this for the plot - it'll be just to see how our resident adorkable gentleman turns gangstah and romances his girl once again. </div>
</div>
<br />
On that note: In view of how this new series is starting, I think future recaps I do will be for Love Around, rather than Love, Now, just so we don't cross all our brain wires.<br />
<br />
Till the premiere tonight! <br />

<br />

It is quite interesting that this pair is thrown together again so soon after their last drama. I mean, yea we know the circle of actors in Taiwan isn't that big and repeat pairings do happen, but I think this is the one of, if not, the soonest I've seen actors paired together again. </div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I think the decision could be partly because SETTV want to capitalize on their skyrocketing popularity after Love, Now and probably use that to revive ratings in the Sunday idol drama slot again. The Taiwan Sunday idol drama slot has been languishing in terms of ratings in recent years - the current show on air, <b>King Flower</b> (starring James Wen, Nikki Hsieh and Chris Wu) only has 2.14 at its highest and averages 1 point at other times. For comparison, the last "hit" drama <b>Miss Rose</b> (Roy Qiu and Megan Lai) reached 4.35 at its highest, although it still didn't match up to the success of <b>Office Girls</b> (Roy Qiu and Alice Ke), which hit 7.33 and created the new catchphrase in Chinese. If we look further back, there are also the mega hits such as <b>The Fierce Wife </b>(James Wen, Sonia Sui and Amanda Zhu)<b>, </b>which hit 9.45 in its finale. I believe <b>Fated to Love You</b> (Ethan Ruan and Joe Chen) still holds the title of idol drama with the highest ratings at 10.91.<br />

<strike>Not much information has been released about this new drama</strike> except for the fact that our favourite OTP will be reunited on screen. It is slated to follow <i>King Flower</i>, which sets the airing date for June. There are both upsides and downsides to this news - the upside: having a proper idol drama slot means the episode count will probably be around 16-20, 25 at the most. Faster plot development, more romancing and late showtime means boundaries for *ahem* intimate scenes be pushed, yes? Downside: we have to wait in agony for one episode to be released each week.<br />
<br />
<b>Update:</b> A video interview was released and they talked about their characters in the show.<br />

Annie cut her hair for this new role - I personally like her longer hair better - but she's confident and bold enough to carry any look and make it work. She likes her new hair because it feels more mature, and a departure from her fresh-faced, innocent image. Her character in this new drama will be a DJ in a broadcast station, so she's excited and nervous about her performance because as a DJ, she needs clear diction and her voice will need to be able to touch and emote without her face ever being seen. Apparently, she worked for a while at a broadcast station when she debuted so she knows a little about the operations of the job, but she'll be receiving more DJ training in preparation for her role.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now - GEORGE. He reveals that his character is totally different from what he's ever attempted, because he will have a TRIAD background. Say WHAT?? He goes on that his father has retired from the triad and his character is a righteous one. Although righteous, when in situations where there is bullying or unfairness, his impulsiveness will still come to the fore. He's not sure to what extent his character will go yet, as the script is still a work in progress.He hopes for more action scenes, prompting the reporters to ask if he always wanted to be and look cool with those? He says rather than looking cool, he wanted to get a tan and become manlier. HAHA. Oh George.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As for their romance, both of them hope that they will be able to find a different way of performing so that there will not be the shadow of Love, Now in this show. Hmm... I think it would take lots of effort because their characters are so ingrained in the minds of viewers. Annie candidly acknowledged that she's the "Queen of True Love" at SETTV and that it's an honour she's been a part of all three shows (Inborn Pair, Love Now and Love Around - all start with "True Love" in Chinese) now. She thinks it's a dream for both males and females to have true love and she's happy getting the chance to play out different romance stories onscreen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<strike>To be honest, I'm not sure about them working together again so soon</strike> - but more of this amazing couple cannot be wrong, right?! NOW I am so excited to see their new roles! I think it's rare for onscreen couples to exude such natural chemistry and be so comfortable around each other. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I realize that I have left the recaps hanging for a while now - I've had to attend to many things in real life. I have not actually watched beyond what I posted, except for some previews when I couldn't help myself. I'm not sure if I should continue recapping, or if it'll still be relevant. I could gather more episodes together and post shorter recaps too, although that is still contingent on the completion of all my assignments *blergh*. What say you guys? </div>

*cue porn music* (no, that's not me being horny. Seriously, Miura-san has his own soundtrack in the show.)<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Basic Plot:</b> Sakura, a kind-hearted 39-year-old spinster hairstylist, finds herself wooed by Hiroto-kun, a 24-year-old struggling(?) BMX rider. And to complete the love triangle, there's her newly appointed boss, who is an old friend (their relationship is the bickering kind though).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0taUQL8_h154vH9IbS2MCzU7epkfUwp4ZwLGX93OaIc1I_pyM9NAwGUv9PuQs7JuvBIO49m3tLIqacJZ08pQaki78he6jOoB5fAMP5fJb7_Bvww_MzTZkBi-dpIKTGVbdJyzPUTYxVDYs/s1600/capture-20130419-231205.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0taUQL8_h154vH9IbS2MCzU7epkfUwp4ZwLGX93OaIc1I_pyM9NAwGUv9PuQs7JuvBIO49m3tLIqacJZ08pQaki78he6jOoB5fAMP5fJb7_Bvww_MzTZkBi-dpIKTGVbdJyzPUTYxVDYs/s1600/capture-20130419-231205.png" /></a></div>
There's also a secondary arc involving Sakura's friends, but whatever, back to the <i>real</i> plot, ahem. I gotta say, I don't find Miura Haruma that hot (he's cute I admit, but not of the ovaries explosion kind). BUT. (There's always the butt. *cough* I mean, but.) There is just something about his character in this show, that swag and smirk of his in this show that makes him utterly irresistible.<br />
<br />
Also, his lines are unintentionally funny. See Exhibit A:<br />

In fact, his entire swag existence is SO cheesy, I'm actually surprised he is a hit with the ladies (but he is, because steamy sex scenes galore omg). Maybe he's a gigolo on the side, idk. That would certainly explain why he is chasing after Sakura-san - oh, did I mention that his feelings for her are not genuine. At least,<i> not yet. </i>He gets a call from this hot chick/ half-sibling maybe? (who's jealous of Sakura because she wants Sakura's boss for herself), and suddenly it's a cheese festival in here, with him laying it on thick to poor Sakura (or should I say lucky? Yeah, definitely lucky.)<br />
<br />
But his usual wiles aren't working, and as he works her way into her heart, who's to say real feelings won't get in his way? Hee, I can't wait for <i>that </i>to happen.<br />

<b>EPISODE 31 RECAP</b> - Bow-tying (everything prettily)<br />
<br />
Yi Qing gets a call from Aunt for courier services. Yu Xiang accompanies her, and finally everyone's identities come out into the open. (I had forgotten that Yu Xiang saw Shi De in the hotel last time XD) Yi Qing mentions how Yu Xiang is pursuing Shi Yun, which promptly turns Shi De's face into a warning. Yu Xiang is rightfully stunned, while Yi Qing remains oblivious to the tension and thinks how great it will be when everyone becomes family (because of Shi De and her sister, and Yu Xiang and Shi De's sister).<br />

Yan Kai calls Shi Yun to meet one last time, to say goodbye to each other properly. This is really goodbye to Shaun Chen now. They agree to keep their memories of each other and split amicably.<br />

Qi Ming visits Shi De in his office and tells the same lies about how his confessions to Yi Ru were designed to test him. Shi De doesn't buy his bull and says so. Qi Ming asks if he must always be so direct, "Even if you knew some things weren't true, just believe that they are. It'll be better for you and Yi Ru." He leaves Yi Ru into his hands, finally bowing out properly.<br />

Shi De and Yi Ru have a lunch date. She thinks it's time for her to meet his parents. He agrees and tells his family, who are naturally jubilant. Following dinner, she visits his room and spots the photo on his desk. She thinks he's narcissistic before he tells her to look at the girl in the background. She doesn't recognize herself at first and goes into a bout of mock-jealousy, before he prompts her to look again.<br />

"It's me. It's me!" She exclaims in wonder. He finally explains his feelings for her, and she finally (did I write this too many times?) realizes that he has been having feelings for her for such a long time (to be honest - not an aspect I like to think about, since it was really a crush and he didn't even know her). Then, she makes a face, which mystifies him.<br />

She claims that it's unfair that he secretly had a photo of her, which sat on his desk for 6 years, while she doesn't even have one of him. She wants to take one exactly like that now, with their poses reversed. As they adjust positions, they back up and both fall into that bathtub of his, knocking their heads (heh heh heh... I'm already imagining the possibilities when they get married...).<br />

Yi Ru returns home in high spirits. She's brought the guinea pig plushie home from the office. She finally finds the ring that Qi Ming put in there. She goes to Qi Ming's house to give him that bag she bought for him, and returns him the ring. She thanks him for his feelings for her, and tells him to give it to a worthier woman. Qi Ming smiles in acceptance (yes! end of mopey Qi Ming).<br />

<b>EPISODE 32 RECAP</b> - Sweeter than honey<br />
<br />
Now that they're talking again, Qi Ming sends Yi Ru off to get herself some pretty things. Elsewhere, Granny is trying to rouse a sleepy Shi De. Did you get what that means? RUMPLED Shi De, in bed. Last time this happened, there wasn't a coherent thought anywhere.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Erm... what was I saying? Oh right, Granny was trying to get him up, since he should be taking the chance of this public holiday to take Yi Ru out. She also reminds him that he hasn't gotten her agreement to marry him yet. Whoa there... obviously Shi De feels that she's being too rushed, but Granny points out they got married in 3 days last time. Heh. She has a point there. She tells him to propose today, and if she doesn't agree, he will not be allowed home. (Then he can stay with Yi Ru!) She practically forces his hand when she grabs his phone to call Yi Ru.<br />

Calls her, he does. Granny almost has him out the door before he points out that he needs to wash up and gets changed. She agrees, and watches him. He pointedly shows her the door. Nuh-uh. I'm staying too, with Granny XD<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So Shi De picks Yi Ru up and tells her that he has a mission from Granny. The success or failure of that mission depends entirely on her. He brings her to a beach and sits her down on a log since he has to prepare something. He gets a branch and starts writing something on the sand. Then he leads her to it, making sure she can't see while he walks backwards.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He has written, "Marry Me" in a heart, "Forever and Ever". When Yi Ru remains stunned into silence, he tells her that this is the mission, and makes it clear that it's also his heart's desire. He gets down on bended knee, and mimics that scene in Boracay when he proposed to her.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She says, "But I'm not 30 yet." He knows that's her plan, but wonders if he could pre-propose, and they get married only when she hits 30. To be sure we perfectly know they're mimicking Boracay, she turns away. No! You don't do that to earnest boy!<br />

He's ready to admit defeat. But of course our girl doesn't mean to turn him down (who would!) and just tells him that it's another year and 9 months before her 30th. He gets that she's agreeing, and puts on the ring for her.<br />

Qi Ming meets with Cai Rong to thank her for helping him through his misery. She asks if he's thinking of going back into the ocean, but he now understands the pain of unrequited love. She decides to cheer him up by bringing him to a playground with kids. Turns out they're her cancer patients. They have story circle time, and she starts looking at him in a different way.<br />

Shi De tells Granny about the results of his mission. Granny is predictably displeased and stalks off in a huff. Shi De sends a message to Yi Ru, "Granny considers my mission failed since you only agreed to my pre-proposal. If I get kicked out later, will you take me in?" (The boy is so much smarter these days.)<br />

<b>EPISODE 33 RECAP</b> - Too much sugar so we need some water<br />
<br />
Yi Qing sees the ring on Yi Ru's finger, which catches Dad's attention. Dad wonders if they are moving too quickly, although Yi Ru assures him that it's only an engagement. Dad calls her out on her bull, and wonders if she's being too impulsive. Yi Qing tells her sister that it's just her dad being reluctant for her to leave, is all.<br />

Yu Xiang, who now realizes how small their acquaintance circle is, reconsiders what to do about Shi Yun. When she calls for courier, he sends Yi Qing to go in his place. Zi Yuan rightfully tells him to give up his revenge. (Honestly, I lost track of this thread a long time ago. Still waiting for this character to become interesting.)<br />

So Yi Qing meets Shi Yun and introduces herself as Yi Ru's sister. Shi Yun reiterates their small social circle when she mentions that Yi Ru's sister was the one pursuing Yan Kai (Haha... again, I had forgotten how criss-crossed their relationships were.) Anyway, Yi Qing tries to get in a few words for Yu Xiang, telling Shi Yun about his broken relationship. Shi Yun thinks he's misdirecting his emotions on her, although she's a little unsure.<br />

Qi Ming appears at the Yang family house while Shi De is making dinner. Apparently he's taking a culinary test. The whole family sits down to eat while giving opinions on Shi De's cooking. Qi Ming gets a call from a "little darling" and excuses himself, which makes everyone shake their head at what they think is a lapse into his old ways.<br />

He appears at the hospital to tell a story to the cancer kids again. He listens to their heartbeats, and borrows Cai Rong's stethoscope when she comes in. The kids ask for her turn, and he stops awkwardly.<br />

Yi Ru is walking Shi De out as they engage in another round of hugging and clinging. He tells her that he won't be able to pick her up the next day as he has to go outstation to meet a client. When he says he'll only be back two days later, she adorably grumbles, "That's so far away!" Hehe. He hugs her and says "I'll miss you." She replies, "I'll miss you too. And miss you very, very, very much until you come back."<br />

Qi Ming finally goes back to work the next morning. He announces that he's taking on a new project - he wants to make a donation film for the cancer patients. Yi Ru takes a call from Shi De, who promises to be back by her side soon. Argh - bad premonition.<br />

As Shi De hangs up, he sees someone in distress down by the river as he drives onto a bridge. He goes down and gets into the water to help the woman's husband.<br />

Next thing we hear, phone calls go to everyone saying that Shi De's gone missing. I literally mean EVERYONE. Shi Yun tells her mother not to panic and alarm Granny; she'll go check things out. Yi Ru gets a call which freezes her, and Qi Ming takes action to drive her there. Yi Qing gets her Dad and calls Yu Xiang. Yi Ru arrives at the river in a daze.<br />

The search and rescue team find Shi De's coat. They shout "We found him!" except that it's the person Shi De jumped in to save. Yi Ru sinks down to the ground, sobbing.<br />

We continue dealing with the fall-out from formed and broken relationships - which means general mopiness save some words of wisdom. Qi Ming spirals further into despair; Yi Ru finds support and tries to reach out to him. Fortunately, we have our increasingly reliable dose of OTP cuteness and dorkiness. People always talk about ladies who glow when in love. Methinks Shi De is the one glowing all the time now. Heehee.<br />

<b>EPISODE 29 RECAP</b><br />
Aunt shows up at the Yangs while Yi Qing is watching TV. She tries to bond with her as well (in the view of a future mother) and asks about the types of men she likes. Yi Qing is interested as it appears that Aunt may know many men of calibre. Shi De and Yi Ru also arrive at the door. Yi Ru is not ready to break the news to Dad yet (yes, we're still on the same day from 2 episodes ago). Shi De is to zip his mouth. And he can't put his arm around her either. And the flowers - what to do about the flowers??<br />

Stuff them into the shoe cabinet. REALLY? =.=<br />
<br />
So they go in and pretend they met coincidentally downstairs to Yi Qing, since Aunt clearly knows they spent the day together. Hah. Dad arrives home and first question is - "Who put flowers into the shoe cabinet?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD<br />

Aunt and Yi Qing flatly deny their involvement. OTP look at each other and blurt out "I bought it!" "I put it there!"<br />

Yi Ru is worried that Dad doesn't like her being with Shi De. Dad clarifies that although he's biased towards Qi Ming, it's only because he's known him for so long, while he doesn't really know Shi De yet. Besides, the one he loves most and places above all is his daughter. Aw, Dad is so sweet and fair - he's probably the most normal of the senior generation in the show.<br />

Yi Ru is still worried about Qi Ming who remains out of reach. Give the man some time, girl. Yi Qing wisely advises that all is fair in love, since you can't force feelings when it isn't there. Qi Ming mopes in a bar while Cai Rong comes in for dinner (they are obviously being set up as the next couple since this is too many coincidences not to count). He feels like he's dying inside, would she save him? Cai Rong still has the wrong expression on her face =.=<br />

The Lan family is troubled over Shi Yun's break-up news. They have a family moment in her room where she assures them that she's alright. She cleverly diverts their attention by wondering about Shi De's progress with Yi Ru. He protests, but can't hide the contented grin from his face. Hee.<br />

Dating couple routine begins next morning - Shi De decrees that boyfriends have to send their girlfriends to work. He even brings out his homemade breakfast for her, only to have Yi Ru bring out the one her dad made. Aww. He tamps down his disappointment and tells her to have that. She grabs his over, and asks if he will accept her father's good intentions instead, since she wants to fill her tummy with "the breakfast my love made for me." Kekeke I really like how much Yi Ru is in this relationship once she's committed.<br />

Mood changes again at the office when Yi Ru walks in to find everyone worried. She goes to Qi Ming's house and finds that he's sleeping on the couch (presumably having passed out the night before). Haih. I empathise with Qi Ming but Show is stretching my sympathy a leeeeeetle thin. She sees a note Cai Rong left encouraging him. Yi Ru apologizes silently, but she is willing to help in any way except choosing him. She leaves after making him congee/ porridge. Qi Ming opens his eyes after she's gone and eats the congee, commenting that her cooking skills are as lousy as ever.<br />

He pays a visit to Dad in an attempt to clear up the air - he returns the keys to their house (what? I never knew he had them ><). Dad refuses to accept that since he treats Qi Ming like his son, and he expects him to come by whenever he wants to; Qi Ming thanks him.<br />

Yi Qing goes to see Yan Kai (again) and he tells her about his break-up with Shi Yun. He's applied to be sent abroad (oh - is this the end of Shaun Chen's cameo?) and he might not be coming back, although who knows about the future? Yi Qing sends him off with youthful enthusiasm and well wishes, although she is a little put down. She receives a call from Aunt.<br />

<b>EPISODE 30 RECAP</b><br />
Aunt asks about the delivery service Yi Qing works at, calling her over to send some documents. Of course, this is a not-very-subtle cover for asking about Dad - Aunt wonders if he mentioned her at all recently. Yi Qing says no, but <strike>cunningly</strike> smartly says that he often stares into space while looking at his recipes. Aunt goes into a woozy thinking that there is progress.<br />

Shi De comes in with Angus, dictating work. The staff who had been chatting up till a moment ago, immediately sit up straight and go silent. Yi Qing sees this and sneaks up calling, "Future brother-in-law!" Haha. I am cringing yet grinning because Shi De being embarrassed is rather fun to see. He wonders why she is here, and Yi Qing lamely says that she's checking up on him on behalf of her sister. She says he works hard, but is no fun at all. "What's the fun in being an ice sculpture? It's cold enough in winter." The staff snigger. "You look so good when you smile; why are you hiding it from people?" She doth speaketh wisely. That makes him smile, of course. He receives a text message which makes him smile further, earning him teasing from Yi Qing. She bounces off before smiling specially at Angus, saying that she'll come visit more often in future. Haha. I like how she's always bouncing with energy. Yes, I noticed I used that word twice. Okay, skipping.<br />

Shi De calls Yi Ru who asks if he can accompany her shopping. They meet after work and Yi Ru asks him for help in choosing a male briefcase. When she reveals that she's buying it for Qi Ming, he makes a face and walks off "Sorry~" while she pulls him back. Keke. She wants to encourage him since he's trying to make an effort to work hard. Shi De asks, "Aren't you afraid I'd get jealous and choose a really, really UGLY bag?"<br />

Haha. She trusts him but asks that he doesn't pick a too pricey one. He laughs widely. Mock-petty Shi De is so much fun too *grin* She picks one with some patterns on it that would be feminine imho except that it suits Qi Ming's character. Tellingly, he picks a simple, all black, classic masculine design. She takes that too and heads for the cashier. Disconcerted that she's buying BOTH for Qi Ming, he stops her.<br />

She's like, "Well one is for Sun Qi Ming. The other, I want to give it to my boyfriend. Do you think he'll accept it?" Hee. Why they so cute?<br />

Qi Ming meets with Cai Rong in a restaurant for dinner. He reflects to her that he never really knew love before it was too late. He always thought that he was a gentleman when he was actually the one who hurt women the most. As to Yi Ru, he has no choice but to give up. Cai Rong tries to cheer him up, suggesting that they go for a drink later. Can I have playful Qi Ming back already? :(<br />

Shi De gets ice-cold treatment from Dad who sits there with a stern face. LOL. Future-in-law meetings are either extremely fun or disastrous. I think we're leaning towards the first here. Yi Ru rescues him when she comes over with tea. Our earnest boy reports that he will treat Yi Ru well and make her happy. Dad declares first that he's made a decision that they have to accept - he will continue treating Qi Ming like a son and he shall have freedom to remain in their lives. He hopes that it will not be a point of contention. Kinda refreshing to have everyone involved dealing with this matter head-on. Shi De gives his promise. Dad then whispers, "My daughter has a bad temper. You might have to give in to her." Hehe yay! I knew Dad would come round!<br />

Yi Qing asks for some food which Shi De volunteers to make. Some hilarious teasing ensues where Yi Qing would needle Yi Ru, who would be tempted to hit her as usual, resulting in Yi Qing complaining to "future brother-in-law", which then makes Yi Ru stop and flash a sunny smile while threatening her sister under her breath. Heehee. I like this tandem. Dad watches all this with a satisfied smile.<br />

Yi Ru sends Shi De off which becomes a round of "Ok, you can go in now. No wait! Ok, now. Oh, I have something to tell you." Shi De asks for a kiss on the cheek - when Yi Ru caves, he turns and catches her on the lips. Cheeky boy! Shi De hugs her and says it won't be cold anymore like this, and Yi Ru says jokingly, "Now it's getting hot." Haha. Maybe George Hu's blood is rushing again (people who watched interviews before will catch my drift) :P<br />

Yi Ru decides to go visit Qi Ming and give him the bag she bought, while Yi Qing decides to follow. They arrive just as Cai Rong helps a very drunk Qi Ming settle on his couch, still mumbling "Yi Ru, don't worry. I will forget you." The Yang sisters leave somberly, Yi Qing commenting that Qi Ming is no longer like himself. I totes agree.<br />

At work the next morning, an insurance agent comes to renew Qi Ming's policy. He passes the documents to Yi Ru since Qi Ming is still playing the mopey boss. As she files it away, she sees his older policies and in all the beneficiary columns is written "Yang Yi Ru". Uh-oh.<br />

Qi Ming walks in and Yi Ru confronts him, asking what does it all mean. She says that she rejected him because she wished to be true to her own feelings, despite her guilt and unease. But with this, she doesn't know how to face him because it seems to make her the "bad guy" who never took any interest in his affairs, with no concern for him whatsoever. Erm... I'm not sure how this equates to one another.<br />

Qi Ming dismisses it all as insignificant, that he named her just on the spur of the moment when the agent asked him 6 years ago. He tells her just to treat him as a friend, colleague and family member. Yi Ru tries to clear the air properly with him. He responds perhaps with a thread of honesty at first - he was worried since Shi De had played a fool of her before. So he pretended to pursue her sincerely. Wait, what? I'm sure you're lying right now.<br />

But in the course of his pursuit, he realized that they were real. Ok, now you're honest again. So at least, my two confessions were not wasted, right? Although they made me really tired... Now you're lying again! And Yi Ru knows that too as she looks at him. He concedes that Lan Shi De is truly a good man and tells Yi Ru to treasure him. Then he spouts off more nonsense to keep his own sense of dignity as Yi Ru tears. He pushes her away to answer her phone when it rings, sure to be Shi De's morning call.<br />

A subdued Yi Qing heads to work and asks how Yu Xiang felt when his ex broke up with him. Hah. Another fish farmer biting the dust. She suddenly sees how cruel love can be, when she saw Qi Ming's state. She tells them of Yan Kai's heartbreak as well, and tells Yu Xiang to treat Shi Yun properly so that she doesn't see any more tragedies of love. If only she knew.<br />

They ask if she'll continue looking for him, but she tells them that he's leaving and possibly never returning.The boys can hardly hide their glee at the news that Yan Kai might not return, for their own reasons.<br />

It's such an opportune time to be following this series (if you haven't already) because this week's episode has her visiting Pemberley. Yes, the place where Colin Firth got soaking wet in his shirt, THAT Pemberley. </div>

I'm ashamed to say that even being an Austen fan, many oh-so-witty alterations have escaped my notice, and I literally gave myself a headdesk when I realize Bing Lee refers to BingLEY. No duh - <i>Bingley & Jane!! </i>How could I! Seriously, my only thought was "oh, weird Asian name." *no face*</div>

One of my favorite characters in <b>The Lizzie Bennet Diaries</b> (that's the name of the show, by the way) is none other than sweet, sweet Jane. She is by far, my favorite version of Jane and is dare I say it, even better than the canon. She SO naturally sweet! But she's no vanilla either, there's a hidden strength in her that makes you cry - "one failed relationship does not define me," she says. </div>

And it damn well doesn't. Omo, The Feels it evoked when Bing Lee and Jane were together, but Bing Lee messed it up in a supremely dickheaded move by unceremoniously leaving town. Jane had to find out through a fucking <a href="https://twitter.com/Bingliest" target="_blank">tweet</a>:</div>

... yeah. Might be excusable when communcation's difficult in the 19th century, not so much in the 21st. At least have the decency to give her a phone call, you moron. If he comes crawling back, I can only hope that Jane looks deeeeeeep inside her soul for some bloodthirsty vengence and MAKE. HIM. PAY. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Last but not least, the third Bennet sister: Lydia (not Kitty because she's literally a cat, ha). She's still a wild child in this one, or in Jane's words, "a special snowflake." But actress Mary Kate Wiles is playing her fabulously, and props to writers for coming up with such a "real" approachable character instead of reducing her to a caricature of a ditzy young woman who indulges in giggles-fest as a pastime.<br />

SETTV sent the main actors from their stable of daily dramas down to Kaohsiung for the countdown party - George Hu, Annie Chen, Chris Wang, and Xiao Yu (Lollipop-F) were there to keep things high.<br />
<br />
So I knew they were performing, but aside from the one idol singer in the line-up, I was wondering what sort of performance would the other three be included in. And then I saw this:<br />

*jaw drop* WHO IS THIS?! Our adorkable ice sculpture is not only melted but BLAZING HOT!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Times like this call for immediate rectifying - I searched and lo! Apparently, he performed Super Junior's "Super Girl" along with Chris Wang and Xiao Yu. Complete with singing AND dancing *jaw drops again* It was all I could do not to combust at the sight of our adorkable ice sculpture CEO smirking, hips gyrating, sexay smile flashing while sporting a sharper, shorter haircut.<br />

Watch the performance of "Super Girl" that starts at around 0:53 and you will see what I'm talking about:<br />

So after I reconciled myself to the fact that George Hu has had a career before he became beloved Lan Shi De, I did some Googling and found that he was once a member of a group called Tiger Team. Heh. Glad he turned to acting.<br />
<br />
George also sang a duet version of their show's ending theme, Yen-j's "Temporary Boyfriend" with Annie. Their singing's not anything to write home about, but it's like we got a sneak peek into their karaoke session. It's really rather cute, sweet and definitely fan service - lots of lovey-dovey hand holding and couple interactions, which means happy times all around :D<br />

It was kinda funny during the interview session because Annie was there with both her co-stars in her hit dramas - Chris Wang was her husband in "Inborn Pair" while George Hu is her current boyfriend in "Love, Now". She was naturally asked, who was the better kisser?<br />
<br />
The host decided to be kind and asked her to describe how the kisses felt instead. She said that with Chris Wang, it was more traditional because they only became a couple around the last ten episodes. She turned to George and said, "Save me!" when the answer wasn't good enough. The other host, Bowie Tsang helped her out by announcing her next performance, which was the duet with George. For that, Annie kissed Bowie, who reported "It's very soft!" LOL.<br />

How many of you had your hearts tickled at the <i>Moon Embraces The Sun</i> x <i>Missing You</i> mashup? Having seen both shows, it sure got me fangirlin' like mad, since when <i>Missing You</i> started I had this scenario in my head where Kim Yoo Jung would barge in on Han Jung Woo and his lady love.
