“Yu Dao Ai”


Xin Lie (Hsu Hsi Yuan), a girl from a wealthy family in China, and Qin Lang (Luo Zhi Xiang), a guy who came to Shanghai to find his father and pursue his dream of becoming an artist, meet by accident in a corner when her car and his bike collide. Later, they meet again when Xin Lei’s goes to the restaurant where Qin Lang works as a chef. Their relationship has moved to another level when she asked him to teach her how to make shrimp omelet for her beau, Shan Dong (Chen Zhi Kai). Unfortunately, Xin Lei’s family owned company goes bankrupt and her parents suddenly go into hiding leaving her only a plane ticket and a key to their house in Taiwan. To make matters worse, Yin Shan Dong breaks the engagement to abide by his parents’ wishes. Having no idea where to go, she decided to head to Taiwan and find the house which her parents left for her to stay. In the course of finding the said house, she and Qin Lang’s paths once again crossed. Much to her surprise, she then finds out that Qin Lang’s family has been living in the house for years. After much controversy, Qin Lang’s grandmother finally agreed to let her stay. Thus begins a magical love story…

This series is the latest from Da S after “Mars”. It was shown recently in the early part of 2007 and got high ratings. It was based on a novel with the same title by Giddens.

I am glad that Barbie accepted this project and see her once again in a love story. But I am still used to her as the one being oppressed, like Shan Cai and Qui Luo and not as a refined lady like Xin Lie. As to Show Luo, I find him cute in some angles and like his antics very much. I also discovered that he is also a good singer ’coz he sang the ending song here entitled “Ai Zhuan Jiao” (Love, Next Corner). That’s why after watching this, I became curious about him.

Nevertheless, like Zai Zai, I also love their tandem because they “connect” which I guess, one of the reasons why it clicked. I thought I would not enjoy watching this one, but in the end, I was left hanging. Well, I just hope the sequel of “Corner With Love” will push through next year and it will still be a resounding success. More power to Producer Angie Cai!
