The drama is warm and romantic, and with the handsome Ethan Ruan and Baron Chen as escort, the ratings skyrocket and becomes this season's most heavily anticipated drama.
2. Leading actors relay: "Bull Fighting", "They Kiss Again"
Recommendations points: ☆☆☆☆
Spring dramas' fight for No. 1 is not obvious. All the television stations gauges the situation and seeks the best time to launch their productions. Therefore at every period there is a drama that rules the ratings without much competition.
The first to receive good reviews and ends in glory is Hebe, Mike He and Lee Wei's "Bull Fighting". The many basketball performances in this drama uses the tricks of players like Michael Jordon as reference, this alone is enough to attract attention. The love triangle in the drama is a killer method used to win over viewers. Lee Wei's protectiveness towards Hebe in the drama lies between that of elder brother and lover and is the dreamy love that every young girl longs for.
When "Bull Fighting" ends, "They Kiss Again" breaks though the ranks and receives the ratings championship. Even though the first series is excellent, and the pairing of Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin pleases the audience, the television station still chooses to air the drama during the period where there are not much competition. The drama continues to tell a pure and innocent love story. The marriage life of the clumsy pretty girl and the genius handsome lad is the biggest selling point of this drama.
3. Storyline not strong, sceneries support: "Wish To See You Again", "Wayward Kenting", "So I'm Not Handsome"
Recommendations points: ☆☆☆
The performance of "Wish To See You Again", "Wayward Kenting", "So I'm Not Handsome" is standard and did not break through the convention of idol dramas. But this three dramas is full of Taiwanese local favor and even cooperates with tourism bureau, so the sceneries is definitely worth watching.
"Wish To See You Again" is the most watchable among the three dramas. Vic Zhou and KingOne performance well in the drama. Ken Zhu's role is plain and does not offer much room for expansion. Vic Zhou's acting skills has changed in the drama, in particular his eyes resembles Tony Leung and is worth noting.
"Wayward Kenting" is even more like a tourism film, the drama seeks local favor. Taipei's youths encounters setbacks in their love lives and careers, so they come to Kenting to search for the Shangri-La of their dreams. The simple lifestyle and the primitive scenery seduce them and they do not want to return to the busy city.
"So I'm Not Handsome" is a purely comic drama and brainless in tone, causing you to laugh non-stop. The drama targets the school life where the young people find true love amidst the comedy. It's more unconventional, so people who not like this kind of drama do not need to watch. Michael's Zhang performance in the drama does not stand out. However, JJ Lin who acts as the lead Xiao Zhuang in the drama is kind and devoted in love, winning him a lot of popularity.
