“Fated To Love You” ratings soar and hits new high, Ethan Ruan pledge to go vegetarian





TTV/SETTV idol drama “Fated To Love You” hits new high after only three episodes. The average rating is 5.18 and is the champion among idol dramas. When Ethan Ruan heard that the ratings hits new high at the site of filming, he said happily: “I am stunned! It’s already so high after only three episodes. If it really breaks 8 in future, I will go vegetarian on the 1st and 15th (of the lunar calendar) during the period when we are filming this drama.” The female lead Chen Qiao En said: “Then we can have celebrations feast every week!”

The ratings for “Fated To Love You” rose again when the third episode was aired last week. According to Nelson rating analysis, age 4 and above rating was 5.18 with the highest segment reaching 5.77. For the 15-44 age group, the average rating was 6.38 with the highest segment reaching 8.84. Regarding the rise in numbers, Ethan Ruan who was busy filming in Hsichih exclaimed: “There were more than 8 million people added together who watched our drama during the first episode and the repeat broadcast. I was thinking then that if this drama still doesn’t succeed, I will have to go back to Taichung and become a farmer.” Chen Qiao En and Ethan Ruan happily carried their grandma in the drama Tan Ai Zhen. Tan Ai Zhen joked: “In the past, Takeshi Kaneshiro carried me in a movie and now he has become an international star. Today you carried me also, so you will have a chance in future too!”

“Fated To Love You” is well-received by the audience. Many netizens dub Ethan Ruan as “idol drama’s new first brother” and Chen Qiao En as the “flower of idol drama”. When they heard the titles given to them by the netizens, Ethan said modestly “If the script is good, the entire team will be strong too. The veteran actors in the drama also add many points.” When Chen Qiao En heard that she is dubbed the flower of idol drama, she laughed and added: “Even if the ratings are high, we still have to wake up very early for filming.” The sweet talking Ethan even credits the soaring ratings to Tan Ai Zhen who is a vegetarian for twenty years. Ethan flattered her and said: “It must be granny who is a vegetarian and bring us good luck!” He words make Tan Ai Zhen very happy and she joked: “You can also go vegetarian together with me! Then the ratings will be even higher!” At this time, Chen Qiao En couldn’t help joking: “Xiao Tian wouldn’t be happy without meat. Asking him to go vegetarian is like asking for his life!” Under Chen Qiao En provocations and the looks of the people around him, Ethan Ruan had to promise: “If the rating for this drama breaks 8, then I will go vegetarian on the 1st and 15th (of the lunar calendar) during the period of filming for this drama! Actually in the past I made a pledge before, but I didn’t know where to buy vegetarian food. So on the days I was supposed to go vegetarian I didn’t eat for the entire day.” At this time Tan Ai Zhen said fondly: “In the future you can eat vegetarian food with me on the 1st and 15th. I won’t let you go without food.”

Actress Han Ji Hye minihompy has always been one of the most popular ones around. Her break-up with Lee Dong Gun early this year in January after a four year relationship was lamented a pity by many fans.

Lee Dong Gun’s brother lost his life late last month in Sydney after a fatal stabbing incident involving possibly Asian crime gangs. According to sources, when Lee Dong Gun and Han Ji Hye was dating, the latter became very close to his brother and treated him like her own family. And because of this close relationship, Han Ji Hye broke down when she heard about his death.

Han Ji Hye wrote a “Keep fighting!” message recently. It’s speculated that it’s written for Lee Dong Gun who lost his brother and is now a hot topic in Korea.

Han Ji Hye had been to the mourning hall at the hospital on 28th March, just few hours after Lee Dong Gun bought his brother’s urn back from Australia. Eye-witnesses said once she reached the hospital, her tears just kept streaming down her face non-stop, paining everyone who was around her.
