fated to love you (命中注定我爱你) at asianfanatics
i am totally addicted to this drama. probably the last i’ve been so into was coffee prince, but not to the level that fated to love you has made me feel. objectively speaking, coffee prince is more wittily written, and is done with better pacing and is executed in a tasteful (not slapstick) manner. but subjectively speaking, i’ve really fallen in love with fated to love you. (wan dan le! i even bought the novel (even if my chinese is just intermediate) and read it backwards. i always read the ending first. this is a special case, i started with the epiologue, then chapter 10, 9, and so on.)
perhaps, it’s because the plot is a fresh and new idea in that the story starts backwards: having had a one-night stand with the wrong person, getting married, and falling in love. the chronology just seems to be different than all the others. the execution is fine too, but it is more fast paced than i had anticipated. i would have loved to see more details and the leads evolving relationship with each other.
i have an exam tomorrow but my feelings are overflowing that if i delay writing, i just might lose the feeling. that is it for now.
i’ve contributed so much of my thoughts to the asianfanatics forum (i think starting with episode 7 or 8), which i might incorporate here when i have the time.
here’s the asianfanatics thread link to the upcoming episode 9:
ethan ruan on his bed scene with qiao en

The acting of TTV/SETTV drama Fated To Love You’s male lead, Ethan Ruan JingTian, is becoming broader and more and more mature; he has also become bolder and more unrestrained in conversation. Ethan, who is a Scorpio, admitted bluntly that his sexuality is very strong; beginning in high school, this “characteristic” was very obvious. Additionally, kissing is his forte; he is very proud of his natural-born lips, which he considers perfect for kissing.
At first, Ethan was very perplexed and uneasy over why filming such a daring bed scene was necessary. He said, “When I was in junior high, I probably wouldn’t have wanted to watch such a barefaced love scene. Neither was I that ‘open’ to the idea of sex. Why do idol dramas these days have to film such ‘realistic’, undisguised scenes? It was only after some of the crew discussed it with me that I realized that the environment and ‘atmosphere’ nowadays has changed. The audience wants dramas and performances that are more realistic, not artificial.”
Ethan and good friend Joe Cheng YuanChang will often discuss the things that they have learned from work. When Ethan heard that Joe had moaned while filming a bed scene with Ariel Lin YiChen for ISWAK II: TKA, thus, keeping his acting and the overall performance extremely true to life, he was determined to engross himself entirely while filming his own bed scene for Fated To Love You. When filming kissing scenes with Chen QiaoEn, he tried to come up with ways to make himself fall immediately in love with her. He explained, “If you don’t engross yourself in the scene while filming, the acting will really be very strange.”

For SETTV’s idol drama “Fated To Love You”, Ethan Ruan had to swim, jump into the sea, be drenched by the rain etc and had to endure lots of “water disaster” torture. Even when “Fated To Love You” turned to Shanghai to film their scenes, he still could not avoid his fated to be wet life. He had to fall into the fountain for the drama and is near being the idol drama male lead with the hardest life.

Chen Qiao En was voted “Most popular female artiste from Taiwan and Hong Kong” by the mainland netizens before and recently, she managed to break into the mainland market to be the spokesman of a sports shoe brand. Regarding this endorsement’s fee, Jungiery manager Sun De Rong has been very secretive and he only revealed that the fees were higher than millions by a lot. He also said that he was very picky about what Qiao En endorses. “Earlier, a bra company looked for her but I thought that it was too early for that.” (more…)

Chen Qiao En wore a thick heavy chicken costume and dance
After suffering for days, beating up Jing Tian (rhymes with today) is very natural
Chen Qiao En and Ethan Ruan are very good friends in private. During the free time while they were filming, they would play toss the chicken head game!
