And there is NO WAY Xiamo/Luo Xi (i.e. Barbie Hsu and Huang Xiaoming) are not the OTP of this drama ( Read more... )

I'm almost positive Xia Mo and Chen will end up together. Taiwan isn't big on changing storylines, especially since the book it's based on is a hugely popular one.

The way he looks at Xiaomo does not denote love to me but a "hmmm, where shall I dispose of the body?" reaction

I think that's because he's trying to figure out how he knows her. According to plot, he lost his memory right after she told him she hated him. So it's probably confusion, with residual anger.

I know the book plot but nope - it makes about as much sense to me as does Haou Airen (thankfully minus the raping). She may end up with Ou Chen for all I know but based on the summaries of the novel I read, I genuinely don't get how - it's not a 'I like her better with X but I can see she prefers Y', the way I was with BOF, it's genuine confusion. I just don't get it. At all. Oh well, we'll see.

I don't like Peter Ho in general (think he's not a good actor and he's not good-looking so I can get distracted and not notice) and in this role - yikes.

I'm trying to read the book, but I haven't gotten very far so I can't help with the why. I do know she ends up with Chen though. From what I'm getting, it's like one of those "you love me so much, therefore how could I not love you" type things that Asia seems to love.

I've never seen Peter Ho in anything before, so I have no real opinion. And while I don't find him as good looking as Huang Xiao Ming, I still find him attractive. Time will tell...

PH has a really weird nose - it keeps bugging me. I've seen him in a bunch of things before and was never impressed and he played likeable enough characters :)

I am just spoiled for stuff OC does in the present which is what makes me boggle. Ehhh, not the first time I uncanonshipped.

I still remember fangirls going into mad frenzy over twdrama Knock Knock Loving You because heroine picked the nice guy she has always loved over the dude who blackmailed her into an engagement and then tried to rape her.

I remember they were so pissed! They were calling the girl and the guy she picked every name in the book. I believe they called her a whore and ungrateful. How could she not love that woobie who was loved her so much he couldn't control himself around her? Uh, easy. Let's see - do I pick crazy wannabe rapist Ming Dao, whose got that huge head or sweet, loving, good looking Dylan Kuo, whose my true love? I know - Dylan Kuo.

Leaving aside my love for Dylan Kuo, the fact that they fangirled the guy who blackmailed and almost raped made no sense to me. I remember them saying it's OK he attempted to rape her because she asked for it by being out with Dylan Kuo (who was her bf who Ming Dap blackmailed her into dumping in the first place) and hey, he didn't rape her after all - it was just to 'show her her proper place' (I directly quote a fangirl). That made me sick.

I've always been indifferent to Ming Dao (he was OK in Magicians of Love, the one thing I've seen him in before KKLY) but after this he is forever tainted because of the idiotic fangirls.

I was planning to wait and see who she ended up with before watching but now I think I'll just for it and watch it with the rest of you guys. At least if they don't end up together, we can all rage together. Although, who knows? Maybe the canon pairing - if they are the canon pairing - won't actually be as bad as we all think. Ugh. I really hate shipping the pairing that's not canon. What to do? What to do?

Watch with me! The ranting would be fun even if the otp doesn't work out (and in any way it's an otp for the bulk of the story).

Yeah, I think I will. I do love a group rant. Isn't that why BOF was so fun half the time? lol.
