Just when I didn’t want to follow another long daily drama–or more like place it on my watch list, Penny went and got herself involved in another one.
Yes, this is Penny’s new drama. And her character just entered the scene as Brian Chou’s fiancee, Mandy.

I meant to do this saga for a while now but haven’t gotten around to it until now. But first off, I want to share regarding Wallace and Van. I never realized how close they are, but I have always associated them together because of Sound of Colors. Some might be confused by now. But if you haven’t forgotten, Van sang the ending theme “Listen With Your Heart” for Sound of Colors.
I could only find the photo above as one of the times they’d promoted Sound of Colors together. To me, they were the perfect team–for cast and singer for the soundtrack. (That, of course, also meant Ruby.)
Interestingly, what also linked them together for me was how Van and Tammy used to star together in this drama called The Success Story of a Formosa Girl (寶島少女成功記). If it wasn’t for the failed collaboration between Wallace and Tammy years back, then there would be another interesting link between them all.
And of course, the link between Wallace and Tammy was when they collaborated together in World’s Finest but wasn’t romantically linked. Although they got along quite well on set, considering how they were both from Taiwan.
Yet have no fear, because I had already placed them all in a story I’m currently working on. Although the story seemed kind of controversial on some levels, I was experimenting so it wouldn’t be just another typical soap.
So until next time for another random post about some celeb friendships.

I actually wanted to start this saga awhile back but kept getting distracted with other stuff. I didn’t know where to start either so that was part of the delay. But after I was done watching Just Sing and Dancing, I got an idea of where to start. Yes, the first character to start with is one of the drama’s main leads, Nina, portrayed by Dou Hua Mei.
Nina, one of the members of the band Super Seed, started out singing at a cafe. She was really hardworking and appreciative of her boss for letting her perform there. She had a very strong personality and was a very independent character throughout.
So why did I choose her character? She was the most realistic character I could relate to personally. She was seen as independent and strong in front of others and could possibly be bordering on the side of hostility at times, especially having gotten into disagreements with some of the band members. However, her struggles and other emotional turmoils were kept shut within her.
Many of her battles were fought alone or if someone could possibly relate or try to get in, she brushed them off. It wasn’t because she was arrogant, but that was how she was. She rather suffered alone. It made it realistic for me because many other female leads just plain throw themselves into the arms of the male leads or welcomed those “prince in shiny armor” rather than try to work the solutions out on their own.
Even if she was helped at times by others, but it had to do directly with her work projects, or it was her brother. She only sought her brother out to cry things over. Not literally cry at times either, but she really needed some wise words from her brother, like how he’d taught her in the past to be strong, etc.
And even if she had to cry for real, not being able to take it anymore, she was crying alone. Not needing to put up a show for others, or seeking more points by acting so pitiful. Even if she would’ve welcomed some comforting words, but she chose not to let them pity her.
It wasn’t until Guo Ge told everyone about how she had sacrificed herself to enter a ten-year contract for them to get a second chance that she finally opened up to the others more. It was also when she dared to tell Hao Zi to not chase her away anymore. Of course, he promised.

Yup, they’re done! In fact, they were already done during the time I posted the other entry. But I just got SUPER busy that I didn’t post updates.
Their wrap-up party celebration was quite hilarious with some of the pictures, though.

I actually had a feeling they changed the name because of some posts that Xiao Qiao tagged. But wasn’t sure so when I saw Jun Ya’s post about the name change, I immediately jumped to update. YUP! It has been awhile.
The drama is now called Dan Shen You Yue (單身有約), no English title attached yet. Aside from the name changing incident, it seems like the production’s going smoothly and everyone’s having fun.
From one of Xiao Qiao’s entries, she disclosed a possible relationship with Jun Ya’s character. Xiao Qiao’s character is Zhao Xin Xin (趙心心) and Jun Ya’s character is Kong Zhi Zheng (孔止正). Jun Ya also mentioned in one of his posts that his character owns a bar.
While they were filming, an incident occured that had caused both Xiao Qiao and Jun Ya to be touched by it. What happened? Derek Chen came to visit them (though he’s very busy doing his travel show of recent).
