I believe I may be the only person on my friendlist who has watched Sunshine Angel, the currently-airing twdrama with Wu Zun and Rainie Yang.

YOU GUYS MUST REMEDY IT ASAP!

I have only started it today - but I have watched 9 episodes in one day (!!!!). It takes a few episodes to get going but at some point by ep 4, I realized I was madly in love with this romantic, warm, sweet drama.

The story of a plucky cheerful maid (Rainie) and a reserved, perfectionist CEO with issues (Wu Zun) is nothing that hasn't been done before - in fact, this seems to be a remake of the Successful Story of a Bright Girl kdrama (or so I've been told, haven't seen the kdrama in question myself). But what makes this story a delight are the sharp colors, the fast pace and the out-of-this-world chemistry between Rainie and Wu Zun. It also helps that both have an immensely likeable on-screen vibe and play likeable characters. And, as is de rigeur in twdramas, there are some swoonily romantic moments. The one in the cap above is one of them. My favorite scene so far though is the one where he tells her about his parents dying rescuing him and how he doesn't believe in permanence any more (and OMG, I realize that he went into the water to rescue her despite this triggering his biggest issues).

Btw, she is only a maid for the first half of the drama, if that is an issue...

Will this drama change your life? Likely not. But it's a lovely story about lovely people, and a perfect way to while away a rainy afternoon.

KizunaFS has picked it up. However, I don't believe they released any subs as of yet so the best way to watch it is on youtube, where an awesome user has subbed the first 12 eps so far. Trust me, it's worth it!

Have a MV:



I defy you not to give this wonderfulness a chance after this MV.

omg qt :3 i swear though, it feels like rainie is in eeeeeevery twdrama lately; i love the girl and she's become actually excellent as an actress but man, the twdrama industry needs some fresh faces pretty badly.

She is. And not many replacements, seeing Barbie retired and Ariel is taking a hiatus. And Ady mainly does Mainland stuff now. Ivy, Cindy and Janine are about the only other ones I can think of.

It's being shown on Singapore tv now but judging from the trailers, I thought it was another one of those over the top tw dramas so I didn't bother watching. Hmm, perhaps I should give it a shot now.

It's not over-the-top at all, actually. I am on ep 12 now (in one day!!!)

12 ep in a day?? wow, that must be a very addictive show. Are your eyes falling out yet? I marathoned a 15 ep lakorn in 3 days a couple of weeks ago and my eyes felt like they were gonna roll out of their sockets by the end of it.

Well, I just started ep 12, so technically 11 eps, 45 mins each. I ff bits with bad guys though because I just want to stab them in the face, so it took a lot less. Plus, I am minding my sick toddler - not much to do in the house :)

Longest marathon I ever did was watch 14 eps of Save the Last Dance kdrama at a stretch on a flight to Thailand. By the time we landed, I felt like I was delirious and hallucinating :P

Ooooh, which lakorn.

ROFL. I can't imagine watching that many episodes in one stretch!
The lakorn I marathoned is 'Tard Rak (Slave of Love)'. synopsis -> http://wasashimi.blogspot.com/2011/05/tas-rak.html There are a few moments of stupid that made me facepalm but overall I think the relationship between the four main characters were handled well. I've been meaning to write a review of it but I always end up ranting on what I'm currently watching. haa.

It's just so darling. Honest! First couple eps are slow (a given, seeing it's 22 eps) but after that it just takes off, imo.

Have not watched! Got sidetracked by Office Girls...I think I'm really biased. I like both Rainie and Roy (how ironic, given their past), but I'm watching Office Girls instead of this...because....Roy is a guy and Rainie a girl so...HAHAHA..
