I’m at episode 12 now and I’m very surprised how much I like this drama and Ella & Jerry in it! I find the drama surprisingly nice with quite cute leading characters. I wonder why there are only few posts.
Let me tell you I was sceptical that I could enjoy it, because I saw both Ella and Jerry only once before and I didn’t like either of them at all. It’s true it was partly caused by them, because they had to act very unattractive and lame characters, but that time they acted horrible too.
I couldn’t stand Ella’s overacting and her annoying character in Hana Kimi (but I hate the character in the manga as well). I felt it was mostly because of her that I was disappointed in that drama, but now I’m not so sure. And although I didn’t dislike Jerry because of his no acting in Meteor Garden, I didn’t like him either.
I couldn’t help but think that these two actors were bad therefore I would get some worse things if they played together. I can’t help it, but still, I know it was very mean from me. I was even more spiteful when I started watching this drama only because of confirming my silly thoughts.
But after the first episode I could see with this drama they would be different. They are much better. As I have been watching more and more episodes, I came to realize how unfair I had been with them. I truthfully apologize for my thoughts. I was badly biased against them, when I myself hate others doing this. I’m sorry.
Honestly, I'm very surprised and delighted at their changing. Ella is still overacting and Jerry still can’t act so well, but their acting skills improved a lot. They did a great job in vivifying so cute leading characters. These were predestined to be lovely, but they became attractive thank to Ella and Jerry. They made me interested in this drama very much. I always have a great time when I watch it so I must thank them.
There are some irritating facial expressions from Ella, some annoying scenes and turns in the story, and the characters are unreal a bit, but it's okay and in general it's a light, kind, really nice script.
Others said it was draggy. We can say so, but for some reason I don't mind this kind of dragging at all. I'm really enjoying it even now.
I hope nothing will be ruined in the last episodes. If they don't disappont me, I will definitely burn it to dvd. (but for me, they still can't compete to my all time favourite Vic Zhou and his dramas. )

I KNOW!
I soooooo missed him ever since Hot Shot, and I was so glad that there was just something new to watch from him. I was supposed to wait until Doremii has released all of the episodes... just so you know I could control myself for it...
BUT I COULDN'T.
Down With Love is FLUFF AT IT'S BEST
I love it. Hahahahaha
Expect to hear more from me soon regarding this drama. Hehehehehe

Wouldn't we all? I've known of Jerry for a long time because of his music and general publicity, but this was actually the first drama I saw him in. He's really adorable in this, and while some of the storyline irritated me (a couple of the characters just act so immaturely for being adults) I did appreciate that Yu Ping was not as dumb as a lot of characters in romantic dramas who believe anything they're told or overhear even if it's totally ridiculous. (And he's an attorney who's depicted as being a good guy, and as an attorney I always like it when the attorney in the story isn't the big jerk ) They handled the playing gay plotline pretty well, but Ella's pretty good at that type of role.janajee wrote:Into Episode 3
Overall it was a really awesome episode
And how totally crazy adorable is Xiao Xiao Bin? I want one!
Meteor Garden was where I first saw Jerry, even though I was... about several years late from everyone else... then Hot Shot, didn't get to finish it though, and then now here with Down With Love, and I must say he's my favorite here. I absolutely adore the fact that he can twist his face any which way, and it's always so adorable...
Me thinks... that I'm more of a Taiwanese lover than a Korean one, because the only time I've ever really laughed and enjoyed myself like this when it came to Korean dramas was with You're Beautiful. I just adore shallow fluff with great music and funny sometimes way way overreactions. Hahahaha. I may just be an all out fluff person.
That's why I appreciate the Tawainese drama, well those that I've watched anyway.
As for Down With Love, I haven't met any (too much) immature characters just yet. Hoping that they wouldn't annoy me as much.
Yu Ping is definitely my most favoritest character of them all, except maybe for Xiao Xiao Bin. OH MAY GAWSH, he is the cutest kid ever. I want one too!!!!
And I seem to genuinely like Yang Guo.
Which is rare for me... but we'll see, we'll see, I'm only into Episode 5. I'm trying to slow it down because I really don't want to have to watch in youtube... and I want to wait patiently for DoReMii's release......... that's why I have to pace myself. Hahahaha

Unfortunately, it seems that viikii seems to hate me. Hahahaha, but I will give it a shot if I really cannot wait, because so far it seems that this drama is just one of those that will completely enter my re-watch and repeat over and over again files. I just can't get over the fact that Yu Ping is just one of the most adorable guys I have ever met. He's just... so well-done. I like the fact that he seems to
Ah Yu Ping, Yu Ping, if you were real person, I'd marry you in a heartbeat. Hahahaha
I don't really remember what exactly happened in the story. I only know I was very glad that I wasn't disappointed until the few last eps, but this had nothing to do what we're talking about with, it's just me. For some reason I didn't like the ending as much as I did the rest of the drama.
Regarding Yu Ping... If you already like him this much, I promise you're going to crazy about him you're going to love him more and more 'cause he's getting cuter, more and more caring and cuter and funnier and cuter!! My only love will be Vic Zhou and all of His characters forever, but I must say I do love Jerry in this series!

Alright alright
I'm actually WAY looking forward to it now.
As long as it's a happy ending, I don't really mind what happens. Hahahaha, especially if the general episodes have this much fun contained in it.
And Yu Ping being MORE adorable? Oh baby, my fire has been fueled, I have to finish at least two episodes tonight... noooo, this would so mess up my schedule... but I need more Jerry Yan as Yu Ping. Aaaaah, conflict conflict.
Hahahahaah
Regarding Vic Zhou, wasn't he with Jerry in Meteor Garden too? The guy with glasses right? Or was it someone completely different? And that I'm making a fool of myself at this moment even bringing that up? Hahahahaha.

Yes, Vic Zhou also was in Meteor Garden as a member of the famous F4, but he didn’t act in Down With Love, and he definitely didn’t and doesn’t wear any glasses. I mentioned him, cause he’s in the Taiwanese pop group F4 (JVKV) just like Jerry, so I thought you had known him. If you want to know how he looks like, just look at either my avatar or my sigi.
What I liked about the 'believability' is [minor spoiler]
TW dramas are probably my favorite, too, even though Krn and Jp dramas sometimes have higher production values. I'm watching Goong right now (3 eps left) and for a 'romantic comedy' it's really depressing and I've never seen two people in love dislike each other so much. Down with Love is like the complete opposite. It's total fluff and pretty cheesy, but it's cute, and I really liked seeing a male m.c. who is open (at least to himself at first) and sweet and uncomplicated about his love for the female m.c. and doesn't treat her like dirt like a Tsukasa-type character sometimes does. Yu Ping is a guy I would totally marry, and I don't say that often about drama characters (doesn't hurt that he's gorgeous, either)
Chun/Ella is my fictitious OTP (really wish they would do another series together!) but Jerry/Ella is pretty cute. It's not passionate, but it's... friendly, I guess. Like they're best friends who got married. (I didn't like the last ten minutes of the series because it felt tacked on, and I presume it was because I know they added scenes to make up for the fact that the original cut was leaked online. That's a pretty minor quibble, though.)

I also heard about they had added some scenes to the last episode. Can we watch those somewhere?foxtoast wrote:I presume it was because I know they added scenes to make up for the fact that the original cut was leaked online.
Otherwise I forgot to say that I agree with you two about prefering Taiwanese series. I thought I was fond of kdramas, and I'm sure I still like them, but it seems after I saw my first twdrama I'm just not able to leave Taiwan.
I know of the three the Taiwanese dramas are the one most people are all... meh about, but same with you guys, I think I'd rather watch Taiwanese dramas because romantic comedies are actually comedies. You expect comedy and you get comedy, with a lot of romance.They dish what people expect. Also most of my favorite dramas are Taiwanese dramas, like ISWAK, Fated to Love You, etc.
Hehehehe, I love spoilers because it fuels me forward to watch the show. Yay yay yay yay!
Was there any other Chun/Ella drama other than Hana Kimi? Because I'm not sure that I know of any one other than that. Hahahahaha, I think I have a girl crush on Ella though, she seems like she could be such an awesome person. Hehehehe.
As for Vic Zhou, OOOOH! I remember now. You'd have to forgive me, it's been a while since I last watched Meteor Garden so his face for me was a little unclear at first. I do remember thinking that he was such a cutie pit though... along with Vanes.

gilnis--sorry, I don't know where one could see the leaked/original version. I watched the subs on youtube, which I think are the same as the ones on viikii. It ends I thought the new ending was supposed to be a wedding, but since I haven't seen the other version I'm not sure. I wish someone would pick up the alternate ending for subbing now that the whole series has aired.
janajee--that's why I like them, too. They're comfortably predictable. I end up not finishing some of them because the quality varies, but I usually know what I'm going to get. There are more JP comedies without romance, which I don't like, and Korean ones tend to be more melodramatic and less light-hearted. I'm really only into dramas for the romance and I have an angst limit.
I have a big girl-crush on Ella, too. Whenever I see her in something I just want to give her a big hug and go eat ice cream with her. She comes across as someone I'd like to be friends with and she's cute without being gorgeous or really mature looking so I identify with her characters more. Hana Kimi was the only series she did with Chun, which is why I want them to do more! Now that they're both doing adult roles I'd like to see them in a non-high school romantic comedy in which Ella is a girl the whole time.

I don't remember if I've read something or have watched an interview with Jerry but I'm sure what we've missed is at least the wedding scene. I'm really curious!!foxtoast wrote:I thought the new ending was supposed to be a wedding, but since I haven't seen the other version I'm not sure.

Ella:
I hated both her overacting and her character in Hana Kimi, but I admit they were such a nice couple with Chun, so I'd like to see them together in another show and I'd like to see how she amazes me.. I think she could do it. Down with Love is a good beginning for me.
I didn't like Ella's direction in Hana Kimi, either. She always overacts a little bit (which I'm okay with) but the director of Hana Kimi had her overact a bit too much. But I still think she makes a great couple with Wu Chun.
I know a saw an insert clip during the actual show that had Jerry and Ella mentioning that new scenes were being added to the non-leaked version, but I can't remember where I specifically got the wedding thing from. What's weird is that there's a staged wedding on YouTube that was done for promo purposes, so maybe that's what they meant? The staged thing is odd because Ella isn't even in character, and there's *tons* of press there. It's sort of a surreal RL/fiction crossover. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

My angst limit is very small, and I would only watch angsty stuff if I actually like the actor... but other than that, I won't even bother starting...
Well we could hope that DoReMii might get the alternate ending as well, because they seem to like giving goodies to everyone anyway, I can't wait to see that one though... the wedding would have been nice. But I did see pictures of weddings floating around. Would have wanted to see that too
Actually I just want see some extra time with Yu Ping.

I know! Also I really hated the discussions above, because at first I didn't know how to turn it off. It was really distracting, but I think at around episode 14 I managed to turn it off, so it was alright.Hahahaha.
My favorite episode would have to be 15. Hahahaha it was awesome. DEFINTELY will become my current favorite.Hahahaha.

I'm trying my best to wait for DoReMii to finish the series, because I divorced ViiKii due to their ignoring of Meteor Rain 2 so far.
I'm at episode 8 , hesitant to go farther not wanting to run out of episodes.
I'm a total sucker for Jerry, so Yu Ping is my man
I've been acting retarded with screencaps on my tumblr. BEWARE SPOILERS

Dude man, we're all waiting for the Doremii released DWL. AAAAH, viikii was hard to watch, but I couldn't wait so I gave in and watched there. If you could wait, I suggest you do. Viikii is sweet and all, but I don't ever want to go there unless I really really have to.
Down With Love is showing here in the Philippines!

I know!
There are so many gems within the Taiwanese, Mainland and HK dramas. I know for a lot of people, they're meh, but for me, I actually prefer them over Koreans and Japanese because... I don't know, they make me laugh more, they make me go aww more. Sometimes Korean dramas are like the same thing over and over again, whilst for the Japanese dramas... I don't know, I just never got into it. As for Taiwanese, those are really what got me hooked into watching asian dramas in the first place.
I think, I have a feeling we're going to get the DWL release from Doremii soooooon. *praying* hehehehe, I really love DWL. It's one of my favorite dramas ever. It was such a fun ride, really

I hope TV stations in Taiwan have variety shows that cater to live audiences like here in the Philippines. That would definitely make my stay in Taiwan more enjoyable~
I know that the chances are very slim, but it would be really great to meet Jerry during my visit!
Lawyer + Hotness + Jerry Yan = heaven <3

Dude, take us with you. D: I'd probably die a few deaths to see some of the shooting shots of my fav TW dramas.
On another note, I ended up watching it on youtube twoards the end, because the translations I am told, were alot better. I will be re-watch this again anyways. I do find it irksome though, that I have to convert all the videos to another codec because it doesn't work on anything other then PC. My PS3 has no sound with the files from DRM as is.
Has anyone seen the dvd? It's out, I don't understand how it has 28 episodes, I'm skeptical on buying it because I don't know if the one on Yes-Asia is legit to be honest.

Lol~ I bet you guys can afford to go there as well. My sister said Taiwan is very similar to the Philippines.
DWL:
So, yes-asia is selling a 28-episode DVD?! When I finally decided to watch it online, I saw some sites that said it has 25 episodes. It's probably the director's cut version--with un-aired parts and bts. Some series end up airing less episode depending on the rating while it is being aired~ (i.e., Playful Kiss--supposed to be 20 episodes but ended with 16)...

Actually, the 28 episode thing I think has been cut down? I'm not sure. I could ask around, as there seems to be a lot of people who knows what's legit and what's not when it comes to those online DVDs. Hehee.
As for Taiwan trip, dude, after I graduate from uni, and get a job, I'd so visit three places for the holidays, TAIWAN, KOREA and if possible JAPAN!
Hahahah, it's all written in the plans. MWAUHAHAHAHAHAHA
Me, I just want to meet up with my fave TW actors. I still can't believe that Wu Chun grew up in Brunei, and I grew up in Brunei and I HAVE NEVER MET THE GUY. The place is like TINY, and still we didn't meet? How unlucky? Heheheheh

I know that members of U-KISS were ranting about being from Brunei and not knowing WuZun was from there. I think it was Alexander or Eli, I'm not sure atm.

As for Taiwan trip, dude, after I graduate from uni, and get a job, I'd so visit three places for the holidays, TAIWAN, KOREA and if possible JAPAN!
Hahahah, it's all written in the plans. MWAUHAHAHAHAHAHA
Me, I just want to meet up with my fave TW actors. I still can't believe that Wu Chun grew up in Brunei, and I grew up in Brunei and I HAVE NEVER MET THE GUY. The place is like TINY, and still we didn't meet? How unlucky? Heheheheh
I've been to Japan a few times, and to SK once, I'd love to go to China and Taiwan at some point. Heck I'd like to just tour the rest of Asia if I could.

The last episode was kinda "short", right? I was actually waiting for more when I saw a couple of minutes left on the player. Unfortunately, those remaining time were for credits~Archaenon wrote:Ok , so I finished DWL.
IT COULD HAVE USED 2 MORE EPISODES D: OMG OMG OMG.
Uh, Yah, U-KISS, actually the members are from all over the place
I remember WuZun posting on his Wretch blog a few years back about the fitness place, I didn't hear much else about it after that.
Oh, I just wish to see Jerry (and Ethan Ruan) during my visit to Taiwan! ♥

Watching it. Loving it. Yay! drool factor warning hahahaha
I really wasn't going to watch this because honestly, I really don't like ELLA I feel that she is OA (over-acting) Didn't like her in Hana Kimi so I was very reluctant to watch the show.
But I decided to watch because there were no more dramas left to watch and I really need my drama fix over the weekend.
I think there are moments that I don't like Ella's acting but I somehow overlooked it coz I kept staring at Jerry. hahahaha . Anyway, I think Ella is very much suited to be Yang Guo...so I guess it was okay.
I love the part when Jerry realized that he loves Yang Guo. ANd tries to be her knight in shining armor without her knowing it.....ekkkkk!
loving it so far ^_^

So far this does not look like a romantic comedy to me. No romance and no comedy yet. Almost into episode 5 and there seems to be a major lack of chemistry between the two leads so far.
I think Ella needs a lot more work on her acting, if she is going to be an actress. Get rid of that hideous nervous laugh that turns any chemistry or light moment off. You can tell in Jerry's expressions he is frustrated trying hard to work with her lack of acting skills and it's difficult. Poor Jerry. This drama is so cold I need a winter coat...and another drink.

There isn't supposed to be romance this early in the drama. Yu Ping and Yang Guo start off pretty much hating each other. He's an ass, she annoying. They don't like each other. It's not until Yu Ping realizes that he loves her that any romance starts, and it's sort of angsty romance since he can't express his feelings because she is "gay."
The bomb thing was not supposed to be romantic or hot. It was supposed to be awkward and unpleasant and for the sake of their lives. And since it's a TWdrama, it was meant to be goofy. Hence it was fake teeth. There is even a BTS about that scene. They aren't trying to pretend it wasn't fake teeth.
There are a looot of moments that are really sweet and make you go awwww later. There is lots of hugging in this drama, more kissing than typical in a TW idol drama. But, it's a TWdrama. It's mostly wholesome.

Aww! Thanks Puppet Princess. I decided to keep watching it anyhow because I really like Jerry although he is not as hot as Mike He, he is still handsome and a good actor in my opinion.
About the teeth thanks for clearing that up hehehe. That scene was disgusting to me though, yuck. Thanks for the heads up. I like those "aww" moments really sweet.

I guess it's my fault for comparing this drama to Coffee Prince kdrama (which was way steamier and funnier than this one) and even other Taiwanese dramas I have seen that were way better.
I am not sure if it was the pairing of the actors and actresses that were not so good or the writers but it didn't get interesting until after episode 7 and even after that some parts were way too draggy.
Spoiler Alert!
I can't say that I liked this drama but my friend's sister (who previously recommended Love Buffet ) loved it...shes 13 though I will know better than to listen to her from now on. Oh well, time to watch Sunny Happiness with Mike He

I suppose everyone has their own idea of what romance is. Not sure what yours is because the only drama you have said you liked is a Kdrama, which is a completely different country standard. Korean media kind of runs off of sex. Taiwan runs off humor and craziness because their dramas are the most prudent out of Korea, Japan, and Mainland China (believe it or not). It's not unheard of for there to be no kissing or much touching between leads.
I feel compelled to note that Sunny happiness is a Mainland China drama. Not Taiwanese. Taiwan bought the airing rights from Anhui. I've also been reading some pretty nasty articles about how much it is failing. Which is truly sad since the first drama of the series (Happy and Love Forever) was so amazing and had such a great response from viewers. Then again they did hire Mike He to lead it. His dramas are notorious for getting really bad ratings and lots of criticism.

TWdrama is more prudent? Some of them I will list below are questionable when it comes to prudent. And I won't even bring up movies. Well, I like kdrama because it airs on several local stations in Georgia so I watch it most often. I enjoy Japanese dramas probably the most out of all.
I watch more TW/Chinese movies than dramas but I do have several favorite Taiwanese dramas and prefer to watch dramas along the line of: (some of these don't even have kissing but they have lots of chemistry, tension, love/hate, and affectionate caring scenes that really make up for it)
Autumn's Concerto (Still working on this one but it's good, just long)
Devil Beside You
Why Why Love
Love with Corners, Corner with Love
Romantic Princess
Fated to Love You
Rolling Love
Easy Fortune Happy Life
Smiling Pasta
ISWAK 1&2
To Get Her
My Lucky Star
and a few more. Even any dramas that have low viewership ratings I may love because like you said everyone idea of romance is different. But I can appreciate your views too.
