Fated to Love You 命中注定我爱你

I've been waiting for the next episode the whole weeeeek!!! I've watched the previous episodes at least twice, finished the novel, have been browsing the official websites & the Baidu forum by fans, and also watched the making & NG scenes at youtube, just because the next episode will only be aired in Taiwan on Sunday night......

Hahaha...this is sooo funny!

Fated to Love You is a new Taiwanese comedy romance just started airing on 16 March 2008. The story begins when the plain and simple Chen Xin Yi (陈欣怡), wanting to gain back the heart of her boyfriend, spent a great sum to get on the Love Cruise with him. She caught a flu on the cruise and drank some medicine, causing her to entered the wrong room due to drowsiness and some other unexpected circumstances. When she realized it, she was shocked to have a one night stand with a total stranger. At the same time, she was heart broken to discover that her boyfriend had betrayed her and was with a wealthy widow. One month later, she found herself pregnant!

The stranger, who is the father of her baby is called Ji Cun Xi (纪存希), the typical prince charming with look, wealth and talent. He was supposed to propose to his girlfriend Anna on the cruise, but she didn't show up. And he was then set up, with his drink spiked by a pair of father & son, whom he had bought over a factory from and was planning for a retrenchment. As Cun Xi is the only heir of his family, his grandma forced him to marry Xin Yi because of her baby. Will this turn out to be a disaster or the path to true love?

Joe Chen Qiao En (陈乔恩) as Chen Xin Yi ( 陈欣怡)

Chen Xin Yi is the so called "Sticky Note" girl, who is timid, soft-hearted and unable to say "no". Her "no-personality" kind of personality caused others finding her convenient to be ordered around, like a "Sticky Note": easy to be obtained when you need one and easy to be torn away after used. There is one place she feels comfortable at, which is an Orphanage where she teaches Pottery to the kids.

The cupid who taught Chen Xin Yi to go on a Love Cruise, also acted by Joe Chen herself. Very entertaining!

First saw Joe as the supporting actress in MVP Valentine (2002) as Barbie, a filthy rich young lady who loves everything in pink. She got really famous after being the main actress of Prince Turns to Frog (2005), as a tom boyish schemer. It's real fun seeing her in different characters that she successfully portrayed.

Ethan Ruan Jing Tian (阮经天) as Ji Cun Xi (纪存希)

Ji Cun Xi is a systematic and serious guy when it comes to official business. He is arrogant due to his rich background, but inside of him lives an inner-child wanting to be let loose. He is in love with a Ballerina named Anna. But when she left him to pursue her own dream, he accidentally had a child with Chen Xin Yi and was forced to marry her.

The amazed Cun Xi...

when he saw the transformed Xin Yi.

Ethan Ruan has been the supporting actor in many dramas like Green Forest, My Home (2005) and Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu (2006). Finally, now he has the opportunity to be the main actor. I think he resembles Ming Dao (the all-time partner of Joe Chen) of his thick eyebrows and a bit of Jay Chou's lip (although sandbox totally denied that). Anyway, I like seeing Ethan & Joe, good chemistry!

Bianca Bai Xin Hui (白歆惠) as Shi Anna (石安娜)
Bianca is a famous model in Taiwan.

Beautiful, brilliant, confident & elegant are a few words to describe Anna. To her, ballet comes first, then her boyfriend Ji Cun Xi. So, when she was offered the role of Odette in Swan Lake, once again she didn't show up for her date and took off to New York.

Baron Chen Chu He (陈楚河) as Dylan
Do you remember him in Kung Fu Dunk with Jay Chou?
He is also in Jay Chou's "China Porcelain" MV!

Dylan is a sharp-eye bidder in the auctions arena. His motto being : "Hold no interest in what others are pursuing, the real value lies in uncovering the undiscovered treasures." Besides loving challenges and travels, this humorous and optimistic guy spends his spare time in the Orphanage, where he was raised up by the Father at the church. Dylan becomes protective of Xin Yi because she has the same name as his long-lost sister. He wishes that her sister will also be protected somewhere out there.

The strong team of supporting characters in the drama is also one of the reasons that makes it to the top:

Ji Cun Xi's Grandma...

... who plays Wii at home.

Chen Xin Yi's mum & two elder sisters, who are real funny.

Xin Yi's boss at the Lawyer Firm, Douglas Chen.

Look at his PSP slim, February released hot red edition!
I think that's what triggered sandbox to get one himself...

Ji Bao Bei (纪宝贝) - A puppy Anna gave to Cun Xi.
Isn't it adorable? Owww, I think that's what triggered me to get one myself...haha

Ji Cun Xi's ring for his proposal to Anna is actually the Mont Blanc 4810 series diamond ring!
Was drooling all over when I saw it at Pavilion KL last 2 weeks.
