Episodes: 14
Broadcast date: 2010-May to 2010-Aug
Cast: Mike He, Charlene Choi, Chen Zhi Kai and Tracy Zhou.
Chen De Xing
(Charlene Choi) left Hong Kong after her mother’s death in order to find her
father, whom she had never met before. She doesn’t know his name either, and
her only lead is a picture that is at least 25 yers old, but she is still
optimistic and gets a job as a taxi driver. Her life is turned upside down when
the super idol Bo Ye (Mike He) returns to Taiwan, and she winds up with his
fans. Things heat up when she does a mistake and takes pictures of Bo Ye,
infuriating him and his manager.
Bo Ye is known to
be a star, but due to his father indebting him, his sister going to arts
school, he became an idol, which he resents. When he’s finally able to pay it
back, more debt seems to come up; his manager borrowed money from mafia, his
best friends restaurant is not going so well, and his sister needs to go to
Paris to continue her education. All this leads him considering going back to
the job he hates, until he buys a lottery ticket and actually wins! But
unfortunately he put the ticket in a book, which he had mixed up with De Xing!
Now he has to get it back from her, without telling her about the winning
price, 300 mio…
Yeah, I get why it didn’t
become popular as Mike He’s drama usually are, it’s really not that good. The
actual highlights of this drama are the cute interactions, which are rare, like
RARE for a TW drama. The drama has the baseline that he has to make her fall in
love with him so that he can get the money, but he falls in love with her; that’s
a pretty good baseline, except the drama is thin as paper. The characters don’t
do the actors justice, even though they aren’t that good actors, somehow it
becomes boring, and 14 episodes feel like forever. I don’t mind push and pull
as long as it’s done classy, which this is not even worth mentioning. I bet the
director doesn’t even understand the concept of push and pull. On the other
hand, you can watch it without the annoyance that most dramas like this have…
☆☆½ / 2½
