# 1: Hi, My Sweetheart!

Genre: Comedy, Romance

Broadcast Details:
~ Origin: Taiwan - CTS
~ Period: Nov 2009 - Feb 2010



Overall Rating: 8/10
==>My depression medicine... Entertainer for sure! Special dedication to all Pink Panther Lovers!

~ Acting: 8/10
==> All emotions well - played by all 3 mains. All portraited their respective characters well. Especially prefer male lead's sudden sharp transaction in character. Just at times, too perfect to be true.
~ Story: 8/10
==> Elements of comedy and romance well-mixed with story! Climax may seem draggy, though it was really touching. Predictable twist at times.
~ Setting/Props/Costume: 7/10
==> Settings repetitive, but cannot ask for more. Costumes were the highlight! Helped alot in characterizations!
~ Music: 10/10
==> Individually, all soundtracks are excellent. Every second of drama is especially lighten up by the appropriate part of tracks played at right time. Music genre varying from melody to funky... Apt to the story and characters!


Casting:
~ Show Luo as Xue Hai/Lin Da Lang
~ Rainie Yang as Chen Bao Zhu
~ Lee Wei as He Yan Feng
~ Maggie Wu as Mo Li


Synopsis:
Xue Hai (Show Luo), a corky, naive, rich, childesh, pink panther fan, finally manages to escape from his eldest sister's extreme care as he moves out of town for higher studies.

He then meets a lonely, violent, poor, pink panther fan, Chen Bao Zhu (Rainie Yang), in his class. Though faced many difficulty to get along initially, xue hai's persistant care to Bao zhu results in a unforgetful, painful, lovely relationship.

However, fate do them part for a while, where though Bao zhu continues to believe in their love, Xue Hai totally changes himself for a revenge as he mistook the cause of separation to be her.

During the revenge, He Yan Fang (Lee Wei), High school Judo senior, was a great help to Bao Zhu. Jealousy sparks within Xue Hai, making him realise how much he still loves her.

Overall Personal Review:
Loved the comedy! Show Luo is a mega superstar! His transactions were perfect! Rainie did her job well, but Lee Wei could have been a little more impactful by showing more pain then just acceptance of rejection. The relation of pink panther to the story was unique and important. Interesting. Biological clock by Show was meaningful and catchy. It is my most favourite. Overall... Of course it is a must watch! Corze for god sake, this is that drama that has allowed me to come this far!

Da Lang... Da Lang... Da Lang Da Lang, Da Lang, Da Lang, Da Lannggg...... DA LANG!!!


P.S:Hopefully i upload cool videos on this soon! Till then, feel like watching few scenes from Hi, my sweetheart! See.. reminising is freaking good!

Back to Past!

Only read this post if ur curious how an
naive/unicultural girl (me), entered the
magical... mystical... & amazing world of
K,T,J MUSIC & DRAMAS!!!

Still dont know who's curse, but my year 200-8&9 were HELL!
A-level is always underestimated!
Those 2 years.. Only pressure was
building within me.. NOT studies!

As a result of trying to escape.. only
after i finished my A's in DEC 2009 that is,
a new door opened to this new world of music & dramas!

Initially.. till feb 2010... i was only watchin animes and eng dramas...
like..

NARUTO!
ONE PIECE!
Kyle XY!
Merlin!
Legend of the seeker!
Vampire diaries!
ETC!

but exactly after i ran out of eng dramas did i meet back
my sec sch sweetheart(Shakila) advertising to me abt a
Taiwan drama... Hi, My Sweetheart!

When all the while when many introduced many dramas
for me to watch i wasnt interested.
However, TPJC DRAMA CLUB...
Totally changed me!
If there is anything worth i learnt (even compared to chem)...
it must be abt dramas!
Special thanks to my lovely club.

but of corze! a single friend's recommendation
cldnt have changed my mind!
It was someone... whom i least expect to do so...
who FORCED me into watching @ least the first ep
of Hi,My Sweetheart.

It was my COLLEQUE!!! - Chelzia (F&N promoter)
when i was working first time in my life
and as a Shp 'N' Save Cashier!
She was a TOTALL DRAMA MANIAC! (like wad i m now la)
P.S: She is a gd friend of Xiao Zhua (Show Luo)!!!
Now can everybody understand why her influence was
the strongest!

Afterwhich... my journey to this new world started.. Alone!
As i was abt to finish watching Hi, my Sweetheart in youtube..
another drama caught my eye that was at the right column..
Its rating was crazier compared to Hi, my Sweetheart!

You're Beautiful/Minami Shineyo

Starting a new journey is easy.. but continuein it
now matter what is the diff part!
and so...
If HMS introduced me to a new world...
YAB made me continue to live on it!

Right after that in my new journey,
thanks to a website i found due to watchin of YAB...
I went on to watch something tat stirred back
my memories of being bookworm!
Thats when i finally decided... I will
NEVER LEAVE THIS WORLD no matter what!!!
Thanks to...

Yamato Nadeshiko Shinchi Henge/Wallflower


As thats how my journey started...
These 3 precious dramas become my GURUS!!!
Each for thier own purpose... genres and especially...
to thier LANGUAGE!

Did u all notice...
The first 3 dramas i coincidently watched one after another...
where all with diff language!
Hence... i also like to look it as...
though might not mean they are the best of all dramas i have watched...

My God of Taiwan D.: Hi,My Sweetheart!
My God of Korean D.: You're Beautiful!
My God of Japan D.: Yamato Nadeshiko Shinchi Henge!

WALA!
