The long delayed (and madly anticipated by me) Summer Desire (based on bestselling Summer Bubbles) is finally going to be out May 30th.

YESSS.

It stars Barbie Hsu, Peter Ho, and Huang Xiaoming and promises more drama than 5 Korean weepies put together.

I am in it 100% for Barbie/Xiaoming and will happily ignore the fact that Peter ends up with her. Luckily for me, a lot of the promotion seems to ignore that final result as well and we get shots like this:



OH YES YES YES PLEASE.

Peter ends up with her

Really? But isn't he, like, evil and stuff? They don't generally reward evil in twdrama, iirc.

Summary(not mine-found it on some manga site but don`t remember which one) of what happens throughout the whole novel.

****When she was 11, Yi Xiamo fell in love with the prince of the school, Ou Chen, the young "Master" who arrives to school in a Lamborghini and private jets. When she was 15, her father adopted a new child.
He was Luoxi , a heartless, irresistible orphan who stole the attention of her world. Out of jealousy,Ou Chen sent Luoxi to England.

-That fateful day he left, Xiamo's parents died in a car crash. Angered at Ou Chen, Xiamo told him she hated him.
-That night, he lost his memories......

***********************************
-Five years later, Luoxi became a superstar. To pay for her brother's expensive hospital fees, Xiamo decided to become a celebrity. Though memories of her biological mother, a singer/prostitute, haunted her,she eventually rose to success with her phenomenal beauty and talents. The two met, fell in love again, and became the golden couple of the entertainment industry.

-That same five years later, Ou Chen saw her performing on stage. Though he has lost his memories, he couldn't help but being attracted to that mysterious girl on stage. Did they know each other? Did he love her?

-When Ou Chen found out the truth about their past, he swore he would make her pay for betraying him, but he couldn't help but loving her. He brought her company in the hopes of burying her, but instead helped her in her road to stardom.

-Yet when the person she loves the most, her sweet little brother Yin Cheng, fell ill once more and needed a kidney replacement, only Ou Chen's kidney had the right fit. She begged him, telling him she would do
anything if he gave his kidney to Yin Cheng. He asked her to marry him.

-The day of the wedding, Yin Cheng found out about the deal and refused to accept the kidney.

-The day of the wedding, Luoxi tried to commit suicide.

Continuation:
*******************************

-The wedding continued, and Xiamo and Ou Chen moved into the Swan castle.

-The next day, they went to the hospital to see Yin Cheng.

-Luoxi, too, was at the hospital. He was dying.

-His current "girlfriend" saw Xiamo in Yin Cheng's room, and slapped her, telling her of Luoxi's suicide.

-Xiamo ran to the room, crying....Ou Chen ran there, too, telling him of the deal.

-The whole deal was revealed.

-Luoxi's hands twitched.

-A door was slammed. It was Yin Cheng.

-Yin Cheng found out about the deal. He refused to receive the transplant.

-It was then that Ou Chen realized that above all others, Xiamo loved her brother (in a sisterly way). Without him, she cannot live. Ou Chen decided to sign a divorce paper and gave it to Yin Cheng to keep.

-Yin Cheng agreed to the transplant.

-Luoxi finally woke up. He wants Xiamo back.

-The operation had finished, but Yin Cheng was still weak.

-Xiamo took on the responsibility of caring for him, and for Ou Chen.

-Everyday, she made soup for them.

-She knitted a scarf for Yin Cheng, and one for Ou Chen. Like a wife... Ou Chen thought.

-Yin Cheng never brought up the divorce paper.

-He died a few months later, and with him, Xiamo's heart.

-Despite what everyone tells her, she pretended that Yin Cheng was still alive.

-Then, a movie came to her, about a sister, a brother, like her, like Yin Cheng.

-She played the sister; and Luoxi and the brother.

-Through the movie, she found herself.

-A letter came from Yin Cheng:


******* Big sister:

-If you received this letter, then I'm already in heaven. Don't be sad, and don't cry. Everything will be wonderful in heaven, though I might miss you a lot.

-Sis, I really don't want to leave you...

-But, like you said, the gods are fair. They give people some, and take away some. The heavens gave you to me, let you be my sister, let me be your brother, that's the greatest thing they gave me. Sis, do you know how much I love you? Even if the heavens made me pick between you and life again, even if the choice was given 100 times, I'll always pick to be your brother and give up everything else.

-So, I'm very lucky.

-Sis, don't be sad about me leaving, okay? I'm only leaving you temporarily; I'll be back soon. In the times I leave you, you have to live happily, go visit the beautiful world for me, go eat the world's best foods for me. Don't get sick; don't get tired.

-Sis, I'm only leaving you temporarily. Next life, I'll be back by your side. That time, I hope I'll be your brother, so I can take care of you, spoil you like a princess. Perhaps, it won't take that long for me to be back. Maybe I'll become a little baby and sneak into your belly.

-Haha, sis, look, you can't see me temporarily, but I can see you everyday in the heavens. Every time I see your smile, I'll be 100x happier; every time I see you sad, I'll only be 100x sadder.

Sis...
Please, for me, live happily, okay?
I'll always love you.

Your little Cheng.


**************************************

-Xiamo recovered.

-Soon, she became pregnant.

-Three months later, the movie finished filming.

-Ou Chen wrote her a letter of goodbye. He wanted her to be happy.

-She won best actress. She dedicated it to her brother, and to Ou Chen.

-Ou Chen was leaving.

-Xiamo stoped him.

-She told him, "I am happy."


***************************************


-As for Luoxi.... In the epilogue, she only talked about how a famous artist held an art display for Yin Cheng (he was an aspiring artists and drew like 1 million pictures of Xiamo) and then the scene switched to Xiamo on a swing, looking at the bubbles that little kids blew.

-Suddenly, she felt the baby kick inside her.
-She smiled and thought of Ou Chen.

This plot makes no sense, i.e. why she sticks with her husband. Ugh. I just know I am going to rant and rave but keep watching because I adore Barbie and HXM.

WTF?

There are so many things with this serious it would be difficult to know where to start. Grrr. Only for Barbie and to hate on Ou Chen; I think the actor is atrocious looking.

How did I miss this? The time is nigh!

Barbie is my liege and so I am honour bound to watch anything she stars in. Must contain excitement for what looks to be emotional, intense T-drama with extreme portions of sexual chemistry.

Am I the only one who noticed how her head looked weird? Like it was badly photoshopped to her neck?
