不良笑花/Miss No Good Preview

Well. Here's finally a update.

Cough. Nice poster. Looks quite out of the box. I'll say.
And Rainie looks different. But not in a good way. The hairdo is worse than her WWL haircut and Mike He's DBY haircut put together. (LOL! Just kidding! I know it's for the show!)

I saw a special on Will Pan in 娛樂百分百/100% Entertainment a couple weeks ago. He seemed OK, I guess. Maybe just another Mike He though. Who knows?

Chen Yan Xi is also in this drama, although I don't know whether it's a lead or a bit. XD

Otherwise, I don't have much to say. So take a look at the post I wrote b4!

Miramar 美麗華百樂園

It's probably not very clear, but atleast you can tell it's the mall from 換換愛/Why Why Love! It's an OK mall, but it doesn't have many decent shops. Plus, it's out of Taipei City, kinda near 圓山飯店, which is an very famous hotel in the outskirts of Taipei.

Yah, so on about mall. On weekends it doesn't have a lot of customers, also because it's not very close to the subway! You can actually see that in Why Why Love, when 童嘉蒂/Tong Jia Di and 霍達/Huo Da walk to the nearest subway station. But in real life, the subway is so far away from Miramar, you get crazy even when you ride the bus from the subway. ^_^

Actually, not only WWL has made Miramar into a setting. DBY did too, when they were on the ferris wheel. The ferris wheel is pretty cool, especially because a couple have glass bottoms! And it's really pretty at night, when it shines green.

My Lucky Star also made a short appearance inside Miramar. Or maybe I should say, in the parking lots by Carrefour. :D But it was very short, only a couple seconds in the first episode.

不良笑花~警告

This is Rainie's new mini series. Which is cool, I guess. It's like a fresh breath of air. She's been with Mike He too much. I mean, they match really well, but yah. Sometimes people like new things. And trust me, this is very new.

DramaWiki's Incomplete Synopsis:
Rainie Yang plays a jewelry store owner with no sense of style. When she meets prince charming Dean Fujioka, she consults Will Pan, a poison-tongue stylist, to help revamp her style.

The story is fresh, which is nice to know. ^_^
If you watch the video, Dean Fujioka hardly talks. He's just standing there smiling. Wait, he is Japanese....

Rainie Yang (in Protein)

This is a video from a couple years. But I was totally bored, so started watching these shows. This one is really funny. Rainie is talking about how Mike He always messes with her while they're acting, and stuff. It's cute too.

Subtitle translations---
Host 1: But it's also impossible with Mike He?
Rainie: *shakes head* No, not possible.
Host 1: Why?
Rainie: He is very much like...
Rainie: my little brother.
[banner appears in dark blue/purple] "! Mike He is more like a younger brother than a lover/boyfriend?"
Rainie: Really, I don't have a younger brother.
Rainie: But I hear/it seems to me that younger brothers
Rainie: really like to poke fun/mess around
Rainie: and then...
Rainie: purposely say things to induce you to react,
Rainie: that kind of behavior.
Host 1: So he's still using the kind of elementary school boys' approach
Host 1: to treat you—
Rainie: *laughs* Yes, yes.
Host 1: Yes, the type that swat you with their backpack,
Host 1: takes your textbooks to graffiti on, that kind?
Rainie: Yes, sort of like that.
Rainie: For example, like
Rainie: the type to take your powder compact and hide it, that kind!
Host 1: Ahh *nods* Then he really likes you!
Rainie: *shakes hand* No, it's not like that!
Host 1: Well, at least he's pretty interested, I feel.
Rainie: No, most likely not, because...
Host 1: —he acts this way.
Rainie: But...
Host 2: Some guys really do express their affections in this way though!
(in the background) Host 1: Agreed.
Rainie: Well, there's one type of girl, the type who won't get mad
Rainie: and simply ignore him. Then it wouldn't be fun for him.
Rainie: But I'm the type where,
Rainie: if you take my powder compact,
Rainie: I will go crazy!!
Rainie: Because I'd be like, "I need to touch up my make up!"
Rainie: And then I will want to steal it back,
Rainie: but if he still plays around and teases me,
Rainie: and make me NG,
Rainie: and then I will be like
Rainie: "Now I have to make him NG too!"
Host 1: *looks at host 2 knowingly* Well OK,
Host 1: both of them must have gone to the same elementary school! (regarding Mike and Rainie's childish behavior around each other)
Rainie: *laugh* Yes...
Host 1: So that's why you can interact the way you do!
Rainie: Well if that were really the case, I would be a fifth grader...
Rainie: ...and he would be a second grader!

///Time Check 01:00

Host 1: *laughs* It's about the same.
Host 1: Let's hear what Mike He has to say.

(page turns and camera is on Mike)
Down the right side in blue: Mike He discussing Rainie Yang

Mike: I remember once...
Mike: We are filming something together.
Mike: We—
Mike: Well, we were riding a motorcycle.
Mike: On the motorcycle,
Mike: she needs to do a scene where she cries.
Mike: But then, she couldn't make herself cry for that scene.
(on the side panel) Rainie: *looks surprised*
Mike: But she couldn't cry.
Down the right side in blue: Mike He discussing Rainie Yang
Mike: I remember once...
Mike: We are filming something together.
Mike: We—
Mike: Well, we were riding a motorcycle.
Mike: On the motorcycle,
Mike: she needs to do a scene where she cries.
Mike: But then, she couldn't make herself cry for that scene.
(on the side panel) Rainie: *looks surprised*
Mike: But she couldn't cry.

Mike: "Then you should be more serious!
Mike: Every scene, every shoot,
Mike: You should be serious in every one of them!"
Mike: Then as a result, me and her,
Mike: we would argue over this.
(on the side panel) Rainie: Yeah, we did have a fight.
Mike: I feel like, isn't it obvious that I'm not?
Mike: I don't really purposely act this way,
Mike: but then she'd be like,
Mike: well I'd tell her, you can't,
Mike: you can't act like you know more and tell me how to act!

Mike: And we'd fight.
Mike: *laughs* But then the director heard us.
Mike: And then,
Mike: the director—well I forgot what he said precisely—
Mike: lectured that, "If you two want to discuss proper conduct in life,
Mike: then continue this conversation at home,
Mike: don't argue about this now,
Mike: don't discuss this while we're on the set of filming!"

(page turns and camera is back on Rainie)

Host 1: This event seems to be unhappy,
Host 1: Rainie?
Rainie: I have to explain my side of this!
Rainie: That day, at that shoot,
Rainie: I actually already did many scenes where I have to cry,

[banner appears in dark blue/purple] "! She takes everything seriously, but Mike He misunderstood?"

Rainie: and then that day the weather was incredibly cold,

///Time Check 2:00

Rainie: and I'm the kind of person who is affected by cold easily.
Rainie: I try to develop the mood I have to be in for the scene,
Rainie: and it takes awhile [because of the weather].
Rainie: And then I saw that he,
Rainie: —when they film me,
Rainie: he sort of didn't take his part seriously,
Rainie: but when they filmed him,
Rainie: he took his role seriously and acted very well!
Rainie: You can feel the atmosphere well when he was being filmed,

Rainie: but of course the director did tell me,
Rainie: you can't completely rely on others.
Rainie: However, I feel like,
Rainie: other than myself being into the role,
Rainie: I also hope that both of us interact.
Rainie: And so,
Rainie: I talked to Mike about this seriously,
Rainie: And I said,
Rainie: Mm, earlier in the scene, when you were testing out the scene,
Host 1: Tell him to not mess around?

Rainie: Yes, you weren't as good as when we formally filmed.
Rainie: He said *emulates Mike's deep voice* "Did I? No I didn't!"
Rainie: *continues in a deep voice* "I act the same!" Yeah, like that.
(camera cuts to hosts and audience laughing at Rainie's impersonation of Mike's drawling, deep tone)
Rainie: And then I'd tell him,
(camera cuts to hosts and audience still laughing)

Rainie: And then I'd tell him that, really,
Rainie: I feel like, no matter what,
Rainie: I only hope,
Rainie: in later scenes filming me,
Rainie: we will help each other out (i.e. help each other get in character/ role/mood for the scene)
Rainie: similarly, when we're filming you, I'll help you out too.
Rainie: I was not trying to display an attitude,
Rainie: I was really only trying to say,
Rainie: I think it's necessary for actors to help each other out and interact well in scenes.

Host 1: And then he said...?
Rainie: And then he went,
Rainie: "Why are you making me out to be a bad person?"
Rainie: And then I went,
Rainie: "No one is thinking that,"
Rainie, —no... what did he say? —
Rainie: He said, "Why did you think of me as such a scheming and conniving person,
Rainie: as if I purposely cause you to not act as well as you could?"

/// Time Check 03:00

Rainie: But then later,
Rainie: because of that event,
Rainie: my mood was affected,
Rainie: and I felt—
Rainie: Because actually,
Rainie: I actually almost developed that mood [so that I could cry]
Rainie: but it retracted back into me and,
Rainie: I've almost developed and it went away,
Rainie: So that day was a huge strain.

Host 1: So would you still want to work with him?
Rainie: I worked with him again on my MV/music video.
Host 1: Do you feel—
Rainie: *guiltily admits* The filming process for that was also full of arguments...
(camera cuts to Host 2 laughing)
Host 1: It is the same for the two of you that you like to bicker, is all?
Rainie: I guess so... well it is,
Rainie: It is an important element in livening things up on the set!

Rainie: Because a lot of people say,
Rainie: if the two of us didn't bicker that day, then the set would be very quiet and boring.
Rainie: Yeah, but—
Host 2: What do the two of you usually argue about?
Rainie: Usually? Very minor things!
Rainie: Or it'd be that he flicks my ear,
Rainie: or wants to poke at my mole.

[banner appears in dark blue/purple] "! Mike He likes to poke at Rainie Yang's mole?"

Rainie: He really does try to poke my mole!
Rainie: He feels like my mole gets in his way,
Rainie: because he gets irritated at seeing it!
(camera cuts to Host 1 nodding to Host 2 in an "Is that so?" look)

/// Time Check 04:00

Rainie: Yes! And then I'd be like,
Rainie: —and I've already told him!—
Rainie: I get really scared of people poking my mole,

Rainie: because I have a looming shadow from childhood,
Rainie: since I was young, there would be people pointing at my mole and saying,
Rainie: "It's a fly!"
Rainie: So ever since I was little I'd hate it when people get close
Rainie: and point at it like this!
Rainie: But he really actually took a cotton swab and poked at me!
Rainie: *gets into a sneaky position* He'd be like this,
Rainie: *in the same pose* he'd really act like this!
Rainie: And then he'd POKE!

Rainie: And then I'd freak out!
Rainie: And then I'd go,
Rainie: "Didn't I tell you not to poke it?"
Rainie: And he'd be like,
Rainie: *in Mikes deep voice* "You're not getting mad anyways~~~" ß like that!
Rainie: And then I'd immediately ignore him for three days! *laughs guiltily*

換換愛 Why Why Love

Why Why Love. This is a drama I have seen for 3 times already!!!! Except for the ending, the whole drama has earned 5 thumbs up! The ending was too much like Silence. I mean, the director could have ended it at Ep. 12 but he decided to make more money by lagging off the last 3 eps. Which is just horrid. The last couple eps were the ones that made me cry- but no spoilers!!! Here's the description from DramaWiki:

Tong Jia Di needs a life besides work, paying down family debt, and more work. So her best friend Jiang Xiao Nan sneaks in a “Love” coupon in Jia Di’s raffle box praying that the lucky guy who draws it will sweep Jia Di off her feet. As it so happens, Huo Yan, the compassionate manager Jia Di has secret crush on, is the lucky guy. But, tho' the prince can exchange the coupon for Cinderella’s love, it doesn’t mean he will, especially when his devilish younger brother is determined to exchange his “Master/Angel” coupon for her servitude.

Well. I won't say that this synopsis is the best, but it's the best I can get. I mean, DramaWiki is the best drama site there is, and all the info is correct. Still, it sounds cheesy, right? And I don't mean the kind you put on lasagna either. But no more comments!

CAST:

• Rainie Yang as Tong Jia Di 童嘉蒂
• Mike He as Huo Da 霍達
• Kingone as Huo Yan 霍彥
• Judy Qiu (裘蒂) as Yang Yan Shu 楊妍書
• Chen Yan Xi as Jiang Xiao Nan 江小南
• Wang Dao as Huo Zhen Hao 霍振浩
• Ge Wei Ru as Liao Cai Juan 廫彩娟
• Jin Yu Lan as Qin Yu Hua 秦玉華
• Sun Qin Yue (孫沁岳) as Tong Jia Hui 童嘉輝
• Ye Min Zhi (葉民志) as Tong Bao San 童寶山
• Xu Shi Hao (許時豪) as Bo Zi 波子
• Eric Tu (涂百峰) as Sai Lang 賽郎
• Carolyn Chen as group leader
• Fu Pei Ci (傅佩慈) as Tong Jia Di's cousin
• Xiang Bo Tao as Childhood Huo Yan
• Xu Qiong Yun (許瓊云) as childhood Yang Yan Shu

Haha. That's actually a nice cast list. I guess. Like I said before, this drama is so like My Lucky Star.
I mean, the dad and his "affairs." And the personalities. But the director is the same...no creation.
