What I Think:

Ranie Yang – She has always been one of my fave Taiwanese actresses. She looks so cute and her hairstyle suits her, cute bangs she got here. Ranie, when you first look at her looks small, frail and fragile to a point, but mind you in Why Why Love, this was intense. She can act out intense emotions and holds her own against her male co-stars.

 

Mike He – As much as I like Ranie Yang, Mike He for me has just always been so-so, blah level. I don’t know. People thinks he is gorgeous, just think he is okay looking. The acting…is just good too. I am kind of tired seeing him in this devilish look and mode. Seriously. But you know I have give him credit because he delivers his stuff well, he has mastered the bad-guy-turned-good-guy role. But I have to give it up for Mike He and Rainie Yang they have absolutely great chemistry!

 

Kingone Wang – Now he is more my kind of guy hehehe! I know this is not just me but I was thinking why do good guys who look absolutely delish like Kingone do not end up winning the girl! His acting here was way better than Devil Beside You, he has much more gusto and more emotions here whereas he has the tendency to look like a log in some scenes in Devil Beside You.

 

If you are a big Ranie-Mike fan or an even biggie Ranie-Kingone fan (me!!) then you have to watch this series. I like the background songs too. It kept me glued on my seat and watch the series until the end it was that good and that is already saying something.
