Summer lives with a cute girl named Si Yu (思雨), who works as a DJ at a Taipei radio station. Si Yu's program spans from 12am - 2am, whereby she helps to solve love problems from those who call-in during her program.

Joan is the photographer of Summer's shop and also her house mate. He is in love with Summer, and has refused to migrate with his family a year ago to pursue her love. But Summer has never return his feeling. She only treats him as her best buddy, as she already has someone in her heart since the incident 5 years ago...

David Chen Yu Fan (陈宇凡) as Joan (谭耀宗)

Flashing back 5 years ago, for some reasons Summer fell down from the roof top of a building and was rescued by a mysterious guy. She is waiting for him since then, and she still keeps his watch, wearing it everyday.

The hands that saved Summer's life

Jian Mei Li (简美莉) is Summer's long-time best friend since high school. Mei Li comes from a wealthy family who owns the Guang Da Departmental Stores (光大百货). Despite her beauty, she is snobbish and arrogant. However, she offered to lend money to Summer to pay her father's debt when his business was in trouble 5 years ago. But Summer rejected her kindness. After 5 years, Mei Li came to find Summer to become her bridesmaid as she is getting married.

Michelle Lin Li Wen (林立雯) as Jian Mei Li (简美莉)

Joan got a job as a photographer at the prestigious Wedding Cottage (婚纱庄园) at Taipei. So he resigned from Summer's shop and asked her to come along for an interview at the Wedding Cottage. The Wedding Cottage, with around 100 employees and 8 photographers, consists of the wedding gown section, florist section, accessories section, a church, reception chamber and bar.

The Wedding Cottage (婚纱庄园)

The Wedding Cottage is owned by Ren Ling Ling (任玲玲) who is also the interviewer. She rejected most of the candidates who were recommended by someone from some department of the Wedding Cottage. Summer's philosophy of the wedding gown made her decided to choose this beautiful and confident lady with no background.

Maggie Siu (邵美琪) as Ren Ling Ling (任玲玲)

Summer:"...because I think beautiful wedding gown does not belong only to the rich. Wedding gown is different from fashion. Fashion follows trend and can be replaced. People can own thousands and hundreds of fashion, but we only need one wedding gown to walk the path of marriage with the one we love. This is the greatest happiness of woman..."

Mei Li at the Wedding Cottage trying out her wedding gown

Mei Li's fiance, Li Hao Zhe (李浩哲), stomped into the Wedding Cottage, accusing her of spreading rumors about them getting married, which is not true at all. He declared that he already has a person he loves.

The possessive Mei Li: "I don't care. I must marry you once this lifetime. Even if we have to divorce straight away."

Seeing this whole scene, Summer was stunned. The ignorant Mei Li introduced her to Li Hao Zhe. He too was surprised to meet her there and then, with his watch on her wrist. Summer was then led away to meet Ren Ling Ling regarding her employment; while Li Hao Zhe was dragged away by Mei Li.

The unexpected yet long-awaited encounter

Everyday as the sun sets, Li Hao Zhe will pray for 'her': "May God grant her strong vitality. At every sun set, give her all the good and beautiful things, so she can be safe and happy. Thank God for our encounter today."

Ryuusei no Kizuna 流星の絆

Thought that this will be a sad and dark drama full of suspense, as the preview said it's about 3 siblings trying to find and take revenge on the murderer who killed their parents when they were kids. But I was totally wrong. It's a comedy combined with mystery, and you will be touched by the bond between the 3 siblings.

The first episode started with this scene:

The eldest brother Ariake Ko-ichi (有明功一): "When we grow up, the three of us will find and kill the murderer."

Then, the scene moved back to November 1993 in Yokosuka (横須賀), when the 3 of them were still kids with their parents. They owned a family restaurant called Ariake (アリアケ) well-known for the Hayashi Rice (ハヤシライス), a type of Japanese Beef Stew Rice.

The young Ko-ichi planned to sneak out at night to watch the Leonid Meteor Shower (狮子座流星雨), but his secret was announced to the whole family by his frank younger brother, Ariake Taisuke (有明泰輔).

Even though both his parents forbidden him to go out alone at night, he still sneaked out with his siblings tagging along. Ko-ichi was forced to bring along his younger sister, Ariake Shizuna (有明静奈), as she was crying and shouting, wanting to follow.

While they were waiting patiently for the meteor shower, their parents were murdered at home, and they became orphans overnight...

They were sent to the St. George Orphanage by the police, Kashiwabara Yasutaka (柏原康孝) and Hagimura Shinji (萩村信二), who are investigating on this murder.

Ninomiya Kazunari (二宮和也) from Arashi (嵐) as Ariake Ko-ichi (有明功一)

The 26-year old Ko-ichi works in a curry restaurant named "George Clooney" at Tokyo Kichijyo-ji (東京吉祥寺), owned by the Principal of St. George Orphanage, Hayashi Jyo-ji (林譲二). As the eldest of the 3, he is protective towards Taisuke and Shizuna. He has to be stronger for them to depend on. He is matured, organized, a good planner but a loner. Sometimes he worries too much, and was nicknamed "Chief of the Pitiful Village" by Taisuke and Shizuna.

Hayashi Jyo-ji (林譲二), Principal of St. George Orphanage and owner of "George Clooney Curry Restaurant", who brought the 3 siblings up.

Nishikido Ryo- (錦戸亮) from NEWS as Ariake Taisuke (有明泰輔)

The 25-year old Taisuke works in a DVD shop. He is frank, impulsive, and a hot-blooded enthusiast. He is the only witness of a mysterious guy leaving their house after the murder 14 years back.

Shi visiting Tai Ni- at the DVD shop after work.

[To differentiate from Ko-ichi's "Oni-", Shizuna calls Taisuke "Tai Ni-".
And both Ko-ichi and Taisuke calls Shizuna as "Shi".]

Toda Erika (戸田恵梨香) from [Death Note] as Ariake Shizuna (有明静奈)

The 21-year old Shizuna originally works at a prestigious company. But she resigned as she was bullied by her supervisor, Takayama Hisanobu (高山久伸), who sticks many sticky notes around her. However, the main reason of her resignation is that one of her colleagues knew about her past and started to spread rumors at her back.

The weird Takayama Hisanobu, who bullies Shizuna because he likes her =.=|"

Shizuna was conned by a lady called Katsuragi Miwa (桂木美和). In order to get the money back, Ko-ichi went stalking on that lady to collect information. He was really brilliant, just by the name card given by Shizuna and without knowing what the lady looks like, he could track her down. As Ko-ichi was happy with his findings, Taisuke and Shizuna commented him as being scary, sinister and disgusting. The way they taunted Ko-ichi was really funny ^^.

The most hilarious thing in this drama is the script written by Ko-ichi: "A Letter from Canada". The casts are as follow:
Katsuragi Miwa used the money she conned from Shizuna on a guy named Kazuya (一矢) at a Host Club. So, Ko-ichi wrote the script for Shizuna and Taisuke to con the money from Kazuya, by making him falls for Shizuna. This short script was presented in a very comical way, with some scenes shown in manga with sound effects. ^o^

Will Ko-ichi the mastermind be able to find the true identity of the murderer?

Who is this guy who came to "George Clooney Curry Restaurant" 3 times in search for Hayashi Rice?

满园玫瑰 我以为 找到我那一朵
Man Yuan Mei Gui Wo Yi Wei Zhao Dao Wo Na Yi Duo
In a garden full of roses, I thought I found mine

认真爱了 却狠狠 刺伤我的双手
Ren Zhen Ai Le Que Hen Hen Ci Shang Wo De Shuang Shou
Seriously in love, yet it prickled both my hands badly

责备什么人也没有用
Ze Bei Shen Me Ren Ye Mei You Yong
It's useless to blame anyone

玫瑰都红 难免看错
Mei Gui Dou Hong Nan Mian Kan Cuo
All roses are red, sometimes it's unavoidable to have mistaken

望著天空 爱是否 活在童话里头
Wang Zhe Tian Kong Ai Shi Fou Huo Zai Tong Hua Li Tou
Gazing at the sky, I wonder if love is only living in Fairy Tales

小王子说 有些事 流浪过才会懂
Xiao Wang Zi Shuo You Xie Shi Liu Lang Guo Cai Hui Dong
The Little Prince said, "There are somethings that you understand only after wandering."
(The Little Prince from the French novel, left his home - Planet B-612, and travel to other planets to find the meaning of love.)

Wo Dan Yuan You Yi Ge Ren Zai Deng Wo
I wish there is someone out there waiting for me

At my very own Planet 612

好让我 忍著痛 也愿意往下走
Hao Rang Wo Ren Zhe Tong Ye Yuan Yi Wang Xia Zou
So to let me even to endure the pain, yet still willing to proceed

不快乐至少要有梦
Bu Kuai Le Zhi Shao Yao You Meng
Unhappy but at least must have dreams

一定会有一个人在等我
Yi Ding Hui You Yi Ge Ren Zai Deng Wo
Certainly there must be someone waiting for me

无条件拥抱着我的所有
Wu Tiao Jian Yong Bao Zhe Wo De Suo You
Unconditionally embracing my everything

相遇前 我还要 翻越多少山丘
Xiang Yu Qian Wo Hai Yao Fan Yue Duo Shao Shan Qiu
Before we meet, how many mountains do I still need to surmount?

花别谢太快 请你等等我
Hua Bie Xie Tai Kuai Qing Ni Deng Deng Wo
Flower, don't wither too soon, please wait for me

**

擦干眼泪 一个人 漂流在这宇宙
Ca Gan Yan Lei Yi Ge Ren Piao Liu Zai Zhe Yu Zhou
Wiping off tears, wandering alone in this universe

小王子说 爱一定 开在某个角落
Xiao Wang Zi Shuo Ai Yi Ding Kai Zai Mou Ge Jiao Luo
The Little Prince said, "Love must be blossoming at some corner."
(The Little Prince from the French novel, has a beloved rose at his home - Planet B-612.)

路上相爱的人那么多
Lu Shang Xiang Ai De Ren Na Me Duo
Through the journey there are so many people in love

我会幸福吗 在什么时候 喔~~
Wo Hui Xing Fu Ma Zai Shen Me Shi Hou Wo~~
Will I ever be happy? When will that be? Oh~~

Repeat Chorus** 2x

Song: 绝对无敌 Jue Dui Wu Di (Absolutely Invincible) by NESE (倪子冈)

*~Show Lo (小猪 罗志祥) as Yuan Da Ying (元大鹰)~*

Slam Dunk fans will love this drama as well. Yuan Da Ying resembles so much of Sakuragi Hanamichi (樱木花道), whose passions for basketball has lead him from a total newbie to a skilled player with tremendous potential. He was forbidden to touch basketball by his grandma since young for some unknown reason. Only after she passed away, she allowed him to start basketball, by telling him to find Li Tian (李天), her old friend who is the ex-Principal of Pi Li University (霹雳大学).

Show Lo is so funny and cute! And his acting in sad scenes is as good as his jokes.

*~Jerry Yan (言承旭) as Dong Fang Xiang (东方翔)~*

He is rich, handsome and famous for his slam dunk in basketball, but Dong Fang Xiang is totally clueless why he plays basketball. Without the passion for the sport, he decided to transfer to Pi Li University (霹雳大学) with the lousiest basketball team of the whole country, so he has the reason to quit basketball. Another reason for his transfer is Zhan Jie Er (湛洁儿), the daughter of his driver whom he grew up with together,who is going to Pi Li University as well.

Jerry is so cool~~ But when he smiles, he melts your heart.

*~Zhou Cai Shi (周彩诗) as Zhan Jie Er (湛洁儿)~*

Zhan Jie Er is the crush of Yuan Da Ying, who visions her as the grown-up version of Gu Gu Ji (咕咕鸡), his best pal who died for him in a car accident when he was a child. Zhan Jie Er is also the key to ignite Yuan Da Ying's true explosive potential during a basketball game, which is tactfully exploited to win games by his coach, Li Ying (李赢). Zhan Jie Er is going to be the dynamite between the tensed relationship of Yuan Da Ying & Dong Fang Xiang.

Does Gu Gu Ji look like Zhan Jie Er? Only Yuan Da Ying thinks so.

*~Jiang Yi (蒋怡) as Li Ying (李赢)~*

Her name “Ying” (赢) means "Win" in mandarin. As a PHD in Sport Science, she works as a Consultant in NBA. With her ability to identify and realize the full potential of players, she is also known as the famous "W" in the NBA. Due to her heart broken relationship in the US, she flew back to Taiwan and decided to become the coach in his father's University.

*~Gu Bao Ming (顾宝明) as Li Zi Ping (李子平)~*
Father & Daughter......erm, she must have taken after her mum =P

Other team members of Pi Li Team:
*~Zhang Yan Ming (张雁名) as Du Fei (杜飞)~*

*~Left: Lin Bo Yan (林伯彦) as Qi Xiao Yun (齐啸云)
Right: Lin Qi Tai (林祺泰) as Qi Xiao Yu (齐啸雨)~*

*~Pi Li Team (霹雳烽火狼队)~*

The Mysterious Brothers:
*~Wu Zun (吴尊) as Wu Ji Zun (无极尊)
Hu Yu Wei (胡宇葳) As Wu Ji Wei (无极威)~*
They look quite alike, 2nd time acting as brothers after Romantic Princess.

The identity of this pair of mysterious brothers really keep me in suspense. Who are they? Why did they watch the moves of Pi Li Team so closely? Why did they help Yuan Da Ying? Are they enemies or friends?
