Drunken To Love You Review

Title: Drunken to love you
AKA: Love You
Genre: Comedy romance
Episodes: 18
Broadcast period: 2011-Apr to 201-Aug
Cast: Joseph Cheng and Raine Yang

Lin Xiao Ru (Rainie Yang) is a fun loving and cheerful girl always putting everyone else first before her. Being an orphan she had always envied happy families that eat together, so her dream is to open up a little restaurant with the man that loves her, by working hard as a manager and saving bit by bit.

Song Jie Xiu (Joseph Chang) is a top interior designer, who has made himself a name in that industry. Having supermodel Tang Ai Wei (Tiffany Xu) as a girlfriend, his life couldn’t get better, except the two can never meet in public. When he one day proposes to her, she rejects him, favoring her career. Heartbroken he goes to a bar, and is joined by a happy Xiao Ru whom had met earlier when she saved Ai Wei from paparazzi. She tells Jie Xiu that her pilot boyfriend is going to meet her there and that they are going to vegas to get married. When she finds out that he decided to dump her, she runs out and confronts him, only to be told that he has another girl. Now both Jie Xiu and Xiao Ru have been dumped, so they decide to get drunk, real drunk.

Next morning they find out that they’ve gotten married… to each other!

A VERY funny drama, with great actors and chemistry. The only problem is that it is a little bit too long for my taste. I don’t mean the episode count, but the entire screenplay, like for some reason they needed so much time to get together, they could at least add some spice while at it :P

No it’s fun, not the funniest, but good fun. And even though long, not that nauseating dragging feel :)

Hi My Sweetheart Review

Title: Hi My Sweetheart
AKA: Playboy and Sweetheart / Shanghai Sweetheart
Genre: Comedy, Romanance
Episodes: 14
Broadcast period: 2010-Nov to 2011-Jan
Opening theme song: Head Over Heels in Love by Show Lo
Ending theme song: Rain Love by Rainie Yang
Cast: Show Lo, Rainie Yang and Lee Wei.

Hsueh Hai (Show Lo) has been raised in a somewhat plastic ball all his life; he gets dressed by maids, never does anything himself, never ridden a bus before, never had friends nor girlfriends, basically over-protected. That has made him childish, naive and weak on self-esteem. When he one day is to leave for a new school (mainly to get away from his over-protective sister who has raised him after his parents death), his sister follows him, to make sure he gets there, much to his displease since he wants to get away from his family. At the airport he undirectly meets Chen Bao Chu (Rainie Yang) when she returns his boarding pass, after he dropped it, to the desk office, and leaving a post it saying 'stupied'.
When they meet second time, both not knowing it's the other and after Hsueh Hai changes his name to 'Lin Da Lung' (his sisters idea, so he wont get kidnapped since they are so rich), Hsueh Hai now Da Lung finds out she is a tough girl no one likes, but as naive as he is, he tries to help her, making Bao Chu interested in him, which leads to their bumpy relationship...

OMG, I just needed this kind of drama. It was real fun, made my day, I've become a huge fan of Show Lo, yes I used to like him, but this made me totally fall for him, daiim he's hot! hehe..
This drama has almost ALL drama clicheés: the accidentel first meeting, the bumping heads, the short romance, the misunderstanding, the revenge, the 'patch-up', the second misunderstanding, the life-threatining saviour, the amisia and not to mention the 'trying-to-get-the-memories-back'. Beside the massive stereotypes, I've come to enjoy this, may be because of the interesting new side of love, okay, yeah it's that 'I want to die for you' / 'I can't live without you', but it's pretty fresh, with the meanie and the dork : P
Heck, I even liked Raninie Yang here, LOL, and I swear that I saw some of Mike He's acting characteristics in her! hahaah...

Tong Jia Di (Rainie Yang) is the girl known for her many jobs. Her father passed away so she is alone with her mother, brother and her uncle who causes nothing but trouble. As poor they had to borrow money several times and so their dept built up and now all they can do is work. Tong Jia Di and her best friend Xiao Nan (Michelle Chen) find a job at a event and they came up with the idea to make coupons which you can exchange for example for a massage or another favor. Two guys, the CEO and his "mean", badboy brother happen to buy one each, the brother, Huo Da, gets a "master/angel" coupon so Jia Di has to be his servant for a week. And so it happens, slowly with their little fights they seem to fall in love, even though the CEO, Hua Yan, has a crush on Jia Di and Jia Di originally liked the him. But as she realizes that she likes Hua Da and does not change her mind, so she tries to avoid Huo Yan. Will Huo Yan win Jia Di's love, or is she already strongly in love with Huo Da?

I liked the drama alot, but not as much as devil beside you *must watch*(also with Mike He and Raine as couple). This one didnt wake that strong feelings but was something I would recommend. The couple was the same which was okay, but made me have more expectations. It needed a bit more than just the story of their love growing. No "BIG" happenings.. But of course love the bad-boy-dramas. just that is reason enough to watch. The ending though was Superb! First time in the drama that i felt like crying, no wait second :D im not sure about the rating because it was the best but it wasnt bad either. If u like Mike He then yes watch it and if u want badboydrama watch it. But if u want that reaaall strooong feeling of love and romance then this one is a bit to..weak?

Bunji's Verdict
OMG, I remember this drama as being one of the first I’ve ever watched (long ago as I was just introduced to the world of drama, and had a thing for Taiwanese dramas). I don’t really remember that much of it, can’t really remember the entire muddle thing in the middle, but I remember the beginning and the ending. Lol.
That said, I have to say, and okay drama - NOTHING in compared to Devil Beside You, same actors and cast - but still decent. Mike He and Rainie are brilliant together, weird kissing scenes yeah, but the chemistry is defiantly there :P
All in all, okay watch : )
