借用一下你的愛 - Borrow Your Love (Jie Yong Yi Xia Ni De Ai)

(New Thing) RATE: 8.5/10

So far I'm in love and hooked to this drama! The plot had a major twist of fate and made me self doubt myself in the first few episodes. Although the downside was probably Xie Ping An's haircut- okay technically it didn't affect the drama but it just bothered me a whole lot. All the actors and actresses did a fabulous job. I love Dylan's bad ass look in the first episode and his fear of bows is hilarious. Can't wait till Viki finishes subbing a finally few episodes. If anyone knows where I can watch the rest subbed in English or dubbed in Vietnamese please comment or message me, thanks beforehand.

Main Cast:

Amanda Zhu as Xie Ping An

Like I said before her haircut really irritates me.On the other hand her role is super cute most of the time, while other times she's extremely annoying and dumb. I feel really bad about her character since she's so nice to Xie Xi Le, but Xie Xi Le is beginning to be mean and harsh towards her. Her and Dylan's character have the most adorable chemistry. Sometimes she reminds me of Jandi from Boys over Flowers- so bold and tough. At the same time her clumsiness is so funny. She's so 

cunning and too cute to actually hate.

Dylan Kou as Ye Chen

Love his character, he's handsome and vain but inside he's soft-hearted and loving. He's every girls best friend. The scenes with Dylan and Amanda are super funny and cute. I love how he's always there to protect Amanda and her mom. He's such a good fighter -bad boy alert, except his fear of bows totally throws-off his bad boy image. It makes him seem more human and normal. I feel bad that he spent 6 years in prison for a crime he didn't even commit, and he never even got to see his sister after she died. I almost wanted to cry- its such a touching story.

Cherry Hsia as Xie Xi Le 

After she was acknowledged she kind of became a bitch and I absolutely hate how she see acts like she's so freaking desperate in front of Le Ze Wen. I'm just like if you want him that bad might as well just lock him up. She pisses me off especially when Amanda's character is being nice- I understand that her character has a right to be mad at Amanda's character but she shouldn't be bitching at her- she should understand that Ping An isn't so bright and she's childish. Although, I feel bad that 

she's being used.

Shin Yi Nan as Li Ze Wen

I feel bad for his character since he comes from a rich family but in the end he loses everything and his parents commit suicide, leaving him with a big debt. I'm not exactly sure why he's taking revenge on Bai Ming Li, but I assume its probably related to his family going bankrupt and parents committing suicide. He's such a jerk for using Xi Le to extract his revenge. But I feel like he's slowing going to fall for her or he's trying not to since she's Bai Ming Li's daughter. 

한국 연예 뉴스 - We Got Married Global Edition

Okay I know I'm breaking the whole concept behind blogging about ONLY dramas and music, but I decided that I should blog about shows too- also its Korean... so technically I'm not breaking any rules.

Aww, fell in love with this show ever since it aired in when Crown J and Seo In Young as a couple. They were too cute- well Crown J was, I think part of the reason why was because he resembled Taeyang... well an older version (its just my opinion to all the Taeyang lovers out there, I'm not an anti-fan/ hater of Taeyang). Then there's Nickhun and Victoria (Khuntoria) and Jangwoo and Eungjung - they were just too adorbs!!! Wished both couples actually were dating. So after hearing news about MBC launching a global edition with Taecyeon (*fangirling*) I knew I had to watch it!

Taecyeon (2PM) & Gui Gui (Emma)

The cutest couple ever, personally I like him paired with Gui Gui more then Yoona- I don't think Taecyeon and Yoona make a very good couple. Well, thats just my opinion. She is just has so much aegyo/cuteness, especially when she calls Teacyeon "oppa." I can't explain it, the chemistry between the two is too lovable..... all I can say is watch it. Its so funny and interesting how Taecyeon speeks English- I never thought he was that fluent in English.

Hongki (F.T. Island) & Mina

Actually I haven't watched any of their episodes of WGM yet so I have no comments. Although personally I would like to say that Lee Hongki is super funny and adorable in You're Beautiful and his personality is super funny also, so I'm guessing their story is just as cute as Taecyeon and Gui Gui. 

Sneak Peeks:

Song of the Day 5/6

2PM- 이 노래를 듣고 돌아와 

(Comeback When You Hear This Song)

Finally 2pm has made their comeback for 2013, it took them long enough. All I can say is this song is so touching and good. Although it's not really their style of music in my opinion, it sounds great either way and the whole music video fits their concept- so its all good. I love how each member is given a word (if you pay attention you'll be able to find all of them). It's so fun looking for all the words. Anyways I hope you guys will look up the song an watch the music video when you guys have a chance. 

P.S. to everyone who don't know who 2pm are, then let me tell you briefly. 2pm is a K-pop band in Seoul, Korea under JYP Entertainment. They originally were a 7 member band but, due to some misunderstanding Jay Park (former leader of 2pm) decided to leave the band- he's currently a solo singer now.

English Translation 

Come back when you hear this song

Come back when you hear this song

I didn’t know when you were with me

I didn’t know even after you left

But after time passed, I finally realized

No matter who I met

I kept thinking about you

So I kept getting scared

Because it seemed like a mistake to let you go

What do I do? After all this time

I am regretting that I let you go

I’m not confident that I can change your mind after making you cry but

Give me one more chance

Come back when you hear this song

Come back when you hear this song

Come back when you hear this song

Wherever you are, whoever you’re with

I’m sorry so come back

I’m regretting so come back

Come back when you hear this song

Wherever you are, whoever you’re with

How far did you go?

Did your heart already turn around?

Your heart that was hurt because of me

Did it harden?

What do I do? After all this time

I am regretting that I let you go

I’m not confident that I can change your mind after making you cry but

Give me one more chance

Come back when you hear this song

Come back when you hear this song

Come back when you hear this song

Wherever you are, whoever you’re with

I’m sorry so come back

I’m regretting so come back

Come back when you hear this song

Wherever you are, whoever you’re with

Baby stop – come back to me, you know I only have you

I know I did you wrong, you’re right

As soon as you left me, this longing grew and my emotions rose up

Now I only know you alone

I don’t know why I didn’t say this for all this time

I’m sorry and I love you

Come back when you hear this song

Come back when you hear this song

Come back when you hear this song

Wherever you are, whoever you’re with

I’m sorry so come back

I’m regretting so come back

Come back when you hear this song

Wherever you are, whoever you’re with

名媛望族 - Silver Spoon,Sterling Shackles

The drama started off really good and interesting. At the start I thought there was going to be a love triangle between the son and the dad for Tavia Yeung's character ( I know it sounds a disgusting, but its set in the 1920's-1930's period so it pretty normal for young woman to marry/date older men). But the story took a totally different turn. The cast was the typically popular TVB actors and actresses. The acting wasn't bad at all but the storyline wasn't all that great- it like a 3.5/5 stars. I was disappointed about Kenneth Ma's love story.

Cast & Couples:

Damian Lau as Sir Arthur Chung (鍾卓萬)

(top going down)

Mary Hon as Koo Sam-Ian (顧心蘭) 1st Wife

Idy Chan as Aisin Gioro Yee-yin (愛新覺羅·爾嫣) 2nd Wife

Elena Kong as Yvonne Yik (易懿芳) 3rd Wife

Tavia Yeung as Hong Tsz-kwan (康子君)/Sai Fenghuang

(賽鳳凰) 4th Wife

Jia Xiao Chen (贾晓晨) as Damian Lau's girlfriend/mistress

All I can say is Damian Lau did an outstanding job playing his character. You must think that with that many wives- he'd be a playboy that pretty much comes off as a jerk- but overall he's not. He actually treats all his wives pretty equal. Mary who plays the first wife is really nice and her character plays the role of a big sister to all the other wives. Her love story/relationship with Damian's character is the saddest. Idy's character was too nice in the movie that it seemed a little bit unfair to her. She is the wife that faces the most hard break in the drama. Her relationship with Damian starts off sweet and then it goes downhill when her ex-lover returns, as a successful business owner. Elena plays the bitchy(excuse my language) wife. She's not nice at all but then, after Damian loses interest in her- you actually start to understand and empathize with her character. Its really heartbreaking. Tavia's lovestory with Damian is a little weird because of the age difference between them- but people say age is only a number. She did an outstanding job playing her role. She's suppose to be the most brave one out of all the wives. Jia/JJ's character is super annoying- I never liked her but at least she has a heart.

Kenneth Ma as Charles Chung (鍾啟燊)

Rebecca Zhu as Kwai Siu-yau (季小由)

I loved their relationship it was so cute and perfect. But Ron Ng character had to wreck everything. It pissed me off how Rebecca never appreciated how much Kenneth's character actually loved her. She was so blinded by her love for Ron that she didn't realize how happy she really was with Kenneth. For some reason I felt like Rebecca's character actually fell in love with Kenneth after they got married. I felt sorry for Kenneth's character in the end of the drama since he was begging Rebecca to stay with him and they could reconcile their relationship.

Vincent Wong as Jimmy Chung (鍾啟燁)

Charmaine Li as maid of the Chung family

I didn't like Vincent's character throughout the whole drama until the very end. He plays the bad boy and rule breaker of the Chung family. His childhood is very sad and painful- after you hear him explain why he did all those bad things, you actually sympathize with him. He's a playboy and lady's man, he has a way with his words- but inside he's actually soft-hearted and fragile. Charmaine's character is really sad, she plays an abused maid whose scared of pretty much everything. She's nice to everyone and falls in love easily. She falls for Vincent after he rescues and helps her overcome her fears. The ending scene between her and Vincent was really touching. Overall, this is one of my favorite couples.

Sire Ma as Elaine Chung (鍾浩頤)

Adrian Chau as Yung Dat Chi (容達志)

They are the typical couple that starts off  as a hate then love relationship. It's so cute how Sire likes to pout and act like a little kid and then Adrian comes and comforts her. Throughout the drama Sire is probably my most favorite character since she's not the evil sister- she plays a sweet and supporting sister. Adrian on the other hand pisses me off at first since he's so judgemental towards rich people. As least later on in the story his attitude changes. 

下一站，幸福 - Autumn Concerto/ Next Stop, Happiness (Xia Yi Zhan)

Hands down this is my favorite Taiwanese drama. 

The first time I read the synopsis on wiki I thought it sounded interesting. After, I started watching it the drama I was totally hooked. Both the main lead became my favorite actors (Vaness & Ady)- hopefully in the near future they'll be cast in a drama together.The cast for this drama was perfect and so was the storyline. I pretty much cried throughout the whole entire drama. (Spoiler Alert!!!) Especially when Vanness Wu regained his memory- that was really painful to watch. I could stop crying when he was torturing Ady An about leaving him. 

Cast:

Vanness Wu as Ren Guang Xi (任光晞)

In my opinion he played his character well- when he was suppose to be sweet he was and when he was "evil" he did a great too. He was he jerk type of guy in the beginning but, when he fell for Liang Mu Cheng- he became the perfect guy. There really are no words that can explain how well he played Ren Guang Xi, I love his character and he expressed his character's emotion and feeling absolutely great. You could feel the pain and bitterness through his words.

Ady An as Liang Mu Cheng (梁慕橙)

Ady's acting is equaled to Vanness's acting. She played the innocent and damsel in distress type of character. At first you'd think that after her character meets Vanness's character she'd be free from all the heart ache and bad luck she seems to be having in her life but no. Her happiness is cut short and she ends up in even more pain and misfortune than before. She did a superb job in acting- there were so many scenes that were heart-throbbing and made me teary eye on her behalf.

Chris Wu as Hua Tuo Ye (花拓也)

For some odd reason I never really liked his character. But it wasn't because of his acting because he did a good job as well. Its sad how he was the first person that got to know and fall in love with Ady's character but she never actually excepted his feeling. He's the brother type of character, though he helped Liang Mu Cheng the most. He never meant more than a brother and best friend to her. Same goes for the kid- he see Chris as only an older brother and never as a father figure. Even though Chris has been there from the beginning. 

Tiffany Hsu as He Ye Qian (何以茜)

At first, I thought that her character was going to be a b****, but she was the totally opposite. Towards the end I felt bad for he since she really did love Vanness Wu's character. She's so caring and nice that I kind of wish they would make a season two for her character- so she'll find some else to love her. With all the love I have for her character the total opposite goes for her dad. Sometimes I wonder if her dad actually adopted her.

Totally recommend everyone to watch this- I've seen it so many times and I still never get bored!

單數絕配- Odd Perfect Match (Dai Shu Jue Pei)

This is my first blog- please give me any feedback and feel free to comment your opinions about it. 

Overall I loved the drama, its cute and classic. The concept of the drama reminds me of Boys Over Flowers but, instead of F4 its between three bestfriends. The storyline is balanced out well and never really gets boring. This is probably one of the best dramas with a shocking twist towards the end. The story was great since there was really never a real antagonist.  I would give it 4/5 stars since it wasn't fully subbed when I was watching it on viki. I would recommend it since it not the type of drama that keeps dragging on and on- also its only 21 episodes.

Cast: 

Godfrey Gao (Momo Love, Volleyball Lover) as Kai Ying Tai

The only reason why I decided to watch this was because of  him. Although it's my first time watching him act, in my opinion he did a great job. Even though the drama wasn't fully sub you could understand what was going on since he expressed his character really well. Can't wait for his new drama Hello Gorgeous.

 Alice Tseng (Scent of Love) as  Huai Zhen

I never actually watched any of her dramas, but she not that bad. Her acting was so-so, but at the same time she never made you feel bored. The scenes that she in with her and Godfrey are good. Her character was really cute and funny. She is the main girl and is like Jandi in Boys Over Flowers.

Chen Zhi Kai (Calling for Love) as Ding Hai Mo

At first I thought I wasn't going to actually like his character because I felt like he was the bad guy but then, I started to feel bad for him. I felt sorry for his character towards the middle of the drama. He plays a really nice and sweet guy- the type of guy that every girl would like as a boyfriend. He's also Ying Tai's bestfriend.

Yang Ming Wei (Volleyball Lover) as Wen Bao Yu

First off, favorite character along with Man Qiao (Death Girl). They just make the cutest and most hilarious couple ever. He's one of Ying Tai's bestfriends and he owns a resturant. His character is so cute and childish at the same time.
