In “Fated to Love You”, Chen Qiao En brought alive the character of sticky note girl “Chen Xin Yi” who is a kind girl with unappealing looks, someone that anyone can call upon and then wave away. In reality though, she acted out two dramas that one after the other broke the Taiwan idol drama’s ratings record. For Qiao En, who finds even dating a form of sacrificing her freedom, will she be a sticky note girl? Without even thinking, she immediately answered “NO!”

Her career – Accepts exposing body if necessary for the script

Q: Is “Fated” really your last idol drama?
A: Actually, it’s not confirmed. I’ve acted out many of those fairytale like characters of idol dramas already and I only want to try out different roles, like a thriller film or a baddie. If there’s suitable roles in idol dramas, I will still act in them. I just hope to have some breakthrough.

Q: What made you decide to attempt a bed scene for “Fated”?
A: The most important thing was that the script required it, revealing up to a certain extent is ok. As long as the plot can convince me! And I’ve taken on one drama after another, I want to attempt things that I have yet attempted. A reported asked me before if I would allow up to Tang Wei’s extent? That is definitely impossible. When filming, we have to think of a lot of factors, such as family and friends and their feelings after viewing. I accept exposing myself but not without a limit.

Q: “Fated” went from being looked down on to being the in thing, how do you personally feel?
A: It’s good enough if I’ve done it well! For all of my dramas, I’ve put in a lot of effort but it’s just that everyone happens to accept “Fated”. Now that me and Ethan can create a record together, regardless of whether I can break my own record again, whenever I think back to this, it will definitely make me happy!

Her relationship – Not willing to be sticky note girl

Q: Will you be willing to be sticky note girl?
A: No! I’m the type of person that lives in my own world. I seldom notice what other people is doing and I’m not the type who can serve others. Around me, there are a lot of sticky note type girls. I admire them but I won’t become them.

Q: Will you be willing to pay off the debt for your partner?
A: Not willing! I feel that love is something that is joyful. If money gets involved, the relationship changes substance. That relationship will no longer be something happy. But of course, if that partner is my husband, there’s a family, there’s children, then I will definitely be willing to pay off his debt, if not, what can be done?!

Q: Do you object to pregnancy out of wed-lock?

Not fated to be a couple in the previous era; Ethan and Qiao En comes together on big screen

Not fated to be a couple in the previous era; Ethan and Qiao En comes together on big screen

The period drama version of “Fated to Love You” has been confirmed to have ended before it even began. Ethan and Qiao En are not able to be “Husband and wife in previous era” and can only wait till the movie version to “continue their earlier destiny”!

Forced to stop acting as husband and wife in an earlier era
Before Ethan and Qiao En guest star in TTV and SETTV’s “Invincible Shan Bao Mei” as the “Mr and Mrs Ji”, there were plans to specially bring “Fated to Love You” to the ancient times and let them act as husband and wife. When the producer Chen Yu Shan was asked, she confirmed that “There was indeed such a plan. And they even went for costume fitting already.” However, because of the script’s problem and the difficulty in getting the cast’s schedule to fit, the originally plan of having 2 episodes of the period drama of “Fated to Love You” being filmed in 2 weeks, was forced to stop.

In that 2 episode of special, Ethan was a poor family’s child called “Ji Tian Ding” in his previous life and Qiao En was the daughter of a rich landowner’s little wife called “Chen Wang Shi”. Due to some accident, the two became husband and wife. Chen Yu Shan laughed and said that besides showing how “Mr and Mrs Ji” were destined to be together in their previous life too, the episodes would have showed how the “Legend (Chuan Cheng)” soap and “Lord Ginger (Jiang Wang Ye)” originated. The storyline is very funny and she finds it a pity that it wasn’t filmed in the end.

“Fated” might have movie version
As for how “Fated” will end, which is what most people are curious about, Chen Yu Shan expressed that they will not disappoint the fans. Yesterday, Ethan and Qiao En’s wedding photo was revealed first and although it was meant as “Go Olympics!”, it seemed to hint towards a perfect ending for “Fated” too.

“Fated to Love You” is hot, with male lead Ethan Ruan (Ji Cun Xi) Mingdao loosing this role, does he regret? Currently in mainland China participating in the disaster functions expresses mannerly: “Xiao Tian acts better than I, many have said we look similar, I hope later we’ll have a chance to work together.”

Mingdao and Joe Chen Qiao En originally with “Prince Turns Into a Frog” became the most popular couple, off screen electricity between the two were rumoured. Before “Fated to Love You” started filming, preferred was still the two of them, but at that time Mingdao and SETTV were not in good terms, the reason was during filming of “Ying Ye 3+1″, regardless of salary or treatment, the TV station made him feel he’s just “an employee”, so he left annoyed, and went to film Ke Yi-Qin’s “Secretly Falling In Love With You”

Mingdao didn’t film, SETTV had to find another male for Joe Chen Qiao; it was Ethan Ruan. Interestingly Ethan with his thick brows, height both look similar to Mingdao, in one of the bed scene pictures kissing, his body was over Joe’s body, after the newspaper had posted it, even Mingdao said to himself: “How come it looks so much like me?”

The drama “Fated” once started was not looked well, after broadcast it darted to the sky, lately it even broke originally Mingdao and Joe’s “Prince” record, many people think, this time Mingdao has used the wrong move. But Mingdao says he doesn’t regret, after looking at it closely, even said Xiao Tian has acted better than him, and the one stuck in the middle Joe Qiao En, once knowing that the ratings broke new record, the first person sharing the news was also Mingdao.

Mingdao for the good, lately has been in the mainland focussing on the disaster area charity functions. He orignally was to go to Beijing to film “Dream Heaven”, after the disaster function for Sichuan, the filming has been delayed, he also didn’t go back to Taiwan, decided to stay locally to help out. Just with the Anhui province disaster banquet, he personally donated $200,000 Renmenbi, and represented Jungiery Star in also donating $100,000 Renmenbi.
