You know you are watching a Taiwanese drama when...
We are less than a minute into the first episode and we see the hero and the heroine do this:
That's more action than kdramas get all year, all put together.
This is pretty tame compared to
They Kiss Again:
Or Summer's Desire:
Or Black and White:
But still. I've been watching too many kdramas and thus found my eyes get o_O.
Anyway, pervy fun aside, the first ep is adorable. It's cute and funny and shippy. I liked Janine Chang in Black & White and I am a huge fan of Mike He - he's not the world's greatest actor, but he's good-looking, charismatic, and has scorching chemistry with his leading ladies. Fun fun fun.
As of now, I am actively watching 7 dramas - this, 3 Kingdoms, Jade Palace Lock Heart, The Holy Pearl, Endless Love, Young Warriors of the Yang Clan, and New Tales of the Gisaeng. Only one of these is non-Chinese/Taiwanese. It makes me feel like old times - Taiwanese dramas were my gateway drug after all.
