After the romantic TV drama The Prince Who Turns Into A Frog, which was equally successful in Taiwan and Hong Kong, Taiwan's SET TV releases another fairy tale-like series GreenForest, My Home. Also starring handsome actors and actresses, it offers a fantasy world where dreams come true as long as one believes! Handsome Leon Jay Williams from Wedding Gown In Heaven plays the talented young William, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, who returns from Austria to head the SpencerMusicAcademy. Singer Esther Liu from the duo Sweety plays Sophie, the daughter in a musician family who takes up the position of Artistic Director at the SpencerMusicAcademy. William fails to realize Sophie is the girl he vowed to protect for life in the GreenForest back in his childhood days. Instead he mistakes her step-sister Susan (Song Zhi Ai), who is always jealous of Sophie, as the little girl he has always missed. Meanwhile, Owen (Ethan Ruan), childhood friend of Sophie, returns to find Sophie, only he is now going by a different name which Sophie does not recognize. The four childhood friends meet up once more, but the relationships among them have become far more complicated than they can imagine...

What I Think:
I am so behind with Taiwanese drama but I cannot let this series pass me by, it is just wonderful.
Esther Liu, I just love this girl. She was so young at 17, when she did this series but she did a lot of maturing up to play 21 year old Sophie at match up to Leon Williams who is 10 years her senior. Esther has improved a lot in terms of acting, she did a lot better here than when she did West Side Story. She is very pretty, looks great in most camera angles, can look really perky and happy when the scene calls for it after all she is 17yo girl. She falters in some sad, emotional and angry scenes though.
Leon Jay Williams, he looks debonair in a suit and clean cut hair.He looks awesome really! I liked him so much; he was my fave actor in the series until I realized that Ethan Ruan was in this series too…hehe. One thing with his acting is, he can look sullen and stone and too stiff in some of his sad, serious scene…you can feel not much emotion when it is needed.; his looking good in power suits and singing English in Forever makes up for his flaws.
Ethan Ruan is my runaway favorite. Who cannot love Joe Cheng’s best friend? Hehehe! I love how he loved Sophie, he was funny, wacky, pensive and loving and looking good all at the same time! He has great charisma, the spotlight loves him, when he is in a scene, I can only focus on him alone. Ethan looks a lot like Eddie Peng, I swear, they look alike in a lot of ways. He is such a promising actor.
Song Zhi Ai as Susan, I was not much into her, I don’t like her hair, her angled chin and all…but her clothes, her clothes are quite cool though. Acting is not that impressive, she looks like in Taiwanese moviedom, she will always be the second rate antagonist that she is. I find now spark in her.
Check out the soundtrack!!! I love Forever by Leon Williams! He sound good...the song is in all English by the way!
Rating: 9 Taiwanese Taicha out of 10
Other Stuff:
* Opening Theme Song:Zui Yong Gan De Xing Fu by Sweety
* Closing Theme Song: Wu Fa Kai Ko by William So (awesome awesome song!)
* Insert Song: Forever by Leon Jay Williams
* You can read the full summary in spcnet review site
* While filming the series, Esther Liu and Than Ruan started dating each other, they look good together. It’s like they are Barnes and Noble, they go freaking together.
* Ethan Ruan is best friends with Mike He (Devil Beside you) and Joe Cheng (It Started with a Kiss). Friends of the same feather flock beautifully together!

MY TO DO LIST:
1. Travel the World.
I’ve always been fascinated with foreign places.
I want to go to London & see Prince William. See The Northern/ Southern Lights in Australia. Be amazed by Egypt & the Pyramids of Giza. Watch the waves wash the shore in Hawaii.
2. Do an Asian tour with my close friends.
We plan to hop to South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Indonesia. All we need is a date. Hint Hint Hint.
3. Get married in a church on top of a hill where I can only feel warmth, peace, love and happiness.
4. Learn a second language.
Because learning a second language is like having a second soul.
5. Be in two places at the same time.
It doesn’t just happen in the movies you know.
NAE SARANG SHINHWA!
ME AND BIGBANG--WE BELONG TOGETHER!
