kelsii - are you sure the storyline is of the new series? Because it sounds awfully similar to DBY

IF I'm not mistaken, the translation states that they switch mind ,body and souls, so this is practically a "switcheroo" drama... (something like Freaky Friday and the k-drama "Change"), so if it is switcheroo...it is really far from the DBY plot.

Through divinity, two main roles switch body spirit soul to be each other opposite.

That was my understanding of that. But the storyline is STILL a news I got in yahoonews.

But IF this is a switcheroo drama, it'll be really hard for the two lead characters because they need to get each others personality perfectly.

[Keropii]

OMG!! RAINIE AND MIKE!! My wish has came true!! Another series with them together, YAY. I loved them so much in DBY! I'm so glad they're working together again. I hope angie isn't just getting our hopes up then say that they're using different casts sighs.

Well let's just hope for the best ^-^ Hope the storyline is worth watching and won't get too boring though. I'll still watch for the sake of the casts!

[xibi]

wah... this is most news i wanted to hear from....
hope it faster release ~!!!
i wish to watch.. oMg.. surely v nice... ~!!

but this would be great for both Mike and Rainie...I mean if they never did something like this before..having to get each other's personality perfectly then this would be a great chance..it'll showcase that both Mike and Rainie has grown in there acting...

this drama gets more and more interesting...lookin' forward to watching it..

[reflections]

hm interesting plot...sounds really similar to something from manga or an american movie i've watched

should be hilarious though!

[lyca-lovers]

sounds good, imagine mike in rainie's body and rainie in mike's body. it would be hilarious. hehehe.

still dunno the other cast member?

Yeah! Cosnidering how opposites their characters would be.

The article stated that Mike will be playing a handsome spoiled rich brat who's such a womanizer while Rainie's a "vendor(?)" who's in the brink of poverty. Mike insults her and the gods get angry and switch their bodies? So, Rainie becomes the arrogant playboy and Mike the timid vendor? (damn funny!)

If this is true, it's like Freaky Friday or that K-Drama "Change" (which was also based on a manga)...

I'm sure it'll be a hit! With good lead stars and such a "never-done-before-in-a-Taiwan idol drama" plot, people will glue their eyes on this one!

This plot could really test the acting prowesses of Rainie and Mike...

[apple juice]

I am quite not understand about the plot. After changing, is Mike going to act as a poor guy or still a rich guy? What about Rainie?

[ahwoonjai]

im soo happi, another Rainie and Mike series. They're the cutest couple. And the storyline seems pretty interesting!!

^Based on my understanding, it'll be a gender-switch s well, right?

It'd be funny the morning after they switched, lol, in the bathroom scenes...haha...

They'd be too shy to change clothes...wahaha.

I think Rainie could act boyish, but can Mike act like a timid girl without looking too gay? Whatyathink, guys?

[frisco1234]

sounds good, imagine mike in rainie's body and rainie in mike's body. it would be hilarious. hehehe.

still dunno the other cast member?

Yes that will be so funny to see they switch mind with the same body! and i think will be romance too in the story.....

I hope they cast some famous actress/actors to company rainie-mike.....

[nugur]

nice to see rainie and mike back together in more series beside dby and the sequel



hey at least this is a romance comedy


think it would be rainie's verison of iswak?

[jolenee]

The synopsis T__T..
it doesnt seem too interesting.
This is romance/drama though, right?
I need more chemistry between RM. (: <3

[araes]

I think he can pull the sex switch without looking gay.
He is so sexy even dressed in pink and doing goofy face expressions....
He can't possibly look gay with that face......
He'll just be super cute and super funny.
I think I'll be laughing hard while watching it. Can't wait

[Wengkee16]

Another drama with Rainie and mike. Can 't wait to see it. It sounds a little bit like euhm Meteor Garden.

A more favored synopsis from a blog, apparently, she saw the news on a different source, but seems they carry the same article...

I forgot the link fo the blkog, but if this is yours, thanks for the translation!

ARTICLE:


UPCOMING IDOL DRAMA FOR MIKE HE AND RAINIE YANG


Angie Chai is to produce a new drama for "lovebirds of the hour" Mike He and Rainie Yang come the end of the year. Mike He who is known to be TVB Hong Kong's new recruit and Rainie Yang, one of the hottest Taiwanese popstars hit it big as a tandem last year headlining the hit Taiwanese idol drama, "The Devil Beside".

The new drama is to begin filming next season and Chai expressed to be hiring the best wardrobe specialists and makeup artists for well-prepared drama that will be based on a Korean manhwa. The current working title of the series is "Exchange Love" and as of the current, after a long wait and speculations, it is confirmed that He and Yang are to play the respective leads.

The gist surrounds a handsome heir to a business empire who couldn't get enough of his womanizing and rude behavior. He then meets a poor girl who juggles 3 physically-enduring jobs for a living. Boy insults girl on a weird encounter and through supernatural occurences, they discover they had switch bodies the next morning. Girl wakes up in the boy's body, in his family mansion while boy wakes up with the body of the girl in her bedspace. Their mission to get back to their real selves will be followed as the series goes on and this cooperation leads them to fall in love.

Rumors are high saying the release of this series could coincide with Rainie Yang's outing of her third album. Word also says this drama is to air at the same time as the drama of Zheng Yuancheng (?) and Lin Yichen (?).

If this is true, it's like Freaky Friday or that K-Drama "Change" (which was also based on a manga)...

This plot could really test the acting prowesses of Rainie and Mike...

I don't understand why there are people are saying this drama is like iswaf or meteor garden..
the main story line is they will be switching bodies (if the news info is correct).. and there is nothing close to that in either drama.. or any taiwan idol drama.. m not too sure on this... but none tat i can recall anyway

Any idea which manga is the Kdrama 'Change' adapted from.?hv never heard of this drama b4..

[Edwise]

This storyline doesn't seem anything new to me. I've already seen a Japanese drama played by Mizuki Arisa that has the same storyline as this. I wish they had invented some idea that's more original. The body-switching theme really could get you confused with their identities sometimes. You just kind of mixed up who's playing who.

I think that was Houkago.

And probably, taht was around 8 years ago right?

I now remembered. Houkago was the Jdorama switcheroo that I saw and the Korean switcheroo was a movie titled "Change".

But I think this would strengthen both Rainie and Mike as actors. It's their duty to sustain their characters without having the audience confused.

You think they could pull it off?

The story plot just like movie "Just My Luck" by Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine. It's a good movie but can't get good rating. It should be very interesting, can't wait to seer Rainie and Mike chemistry in this drama series.

[metalhead]

i think this kind of storyline is a new try and a new twist of things to taiwanese idol dramas!! i'm really looking forward to it..not just because im SUCH A HUGE RAINIE AND MIKE fan..but because the plot sounds interesting..although its similar to other korean dramas..but still. its a new thing for both rainie and mike..and with the confidence of Angie Chai..i'm anticipating for 2007 even more!

[MeNyOu]

wow the storyline sounds freaky with the boy switching body w/ a girl and vice versa..hahahaha..will watch this drama wehn it comes out....i love the paring in DBY so this is a great chance for me to see them....so cool!!!!!!! thanx kelsii posting up the translation....^^*

I'd say it all depend on how good the script will be...Success doesn't rely solely on the actors' skills. Especially when even the news said the leads do find the roles challenging to play.

^ I sort of disagree. DBY didn't even have half as god as the script of ISWAK but still, DBY was successful.

MAybe it could either rely on the script or the actors.

But promotion is also a key.

[kipziekinz]

OMG! i haven't been in this thread for a while! suddenly i found out about RM again! wow wow wow!

i can't wait.. arghhh.... i like mike and ranie together!

it is sorta new in taiwanese series don't you think? the plots sounds interesting and i think it will be fun..
Everything, i think, works hand in hand.. good actors couldn't make it a hit if the story is bad.. and a good director couldn't make a series that good if there were bad actors right? and so as the script, with out good actors and director=bad production..hehehe

oooohhhh....i can't wait...

[nrs]

i agree.the script is definitely very important for its success. since angie cai is investing a lot of money in this series, i hope she made sure that they have a good script and a good director.

Mike He and Rainie Yang to Prepare for Thespic Challenge

Chai Zhi Ping expressed yesterday in a phoned interview about the confirmation of one of the next series she is to produce. Its working title “Exchange Love” is to star Mike He, one of Taiwan’s hottest heartthrobs and Queen of Cute, Rainie Yang. Rigorous preparations are started even this early and cast selections are done with great specificity. This series is set to air early 2008 and Chai mentions this will be financed very well with a hefty budget to ensure the pleasure of fans with a drama with good quality.

The plot revolves around two extremely opposite individuals, a handsome rich yet rude playboy and a hyperactively cunning steamed buns vendor. The two meet at an unexpected encounter and the guy ends up insulting the girl peddler angering the gods. On the other hand, this girl who works 3 odd jobs forever prays to experience the rich life. The gods take action after their fateful cross of destiny and the girl and guy wake up the next morning with their bodies switched. The story proceeds with the two of them trying to adjust on each other’s life as they slowly learn to help each other into getting back to their own physicality. With the guy being betrothed for business matters and the girl still harboring love for her sister’s boyfriend, will they get through it?

Chai exclaimed yesterday about her great effort to persuade both Mike and Rainie to this project seeing the very complicated script. Both of the main leads were in great doubt if they could pull the scenario off in a serious drama, particularly Mike.

“Rainie was okay with it, though she was a little uneasy. She likes the challenge it brought. But Mike was seeing what great a risk it is to accept this role. The series does have them in opposite personalities about 70% of the story, we thought he would reject it but he saw the unpredictability in it and went for it anyway. He is really going to do his best to make this one good.”

It is one of the first times that a switcheroo romantic-comedy is to be done in a Taiwanese idol drama and with Rainie and Mike to lead the cast, Chai says she is quite confident that it will turn out to be positive despite the loopholes it could bring.

Thanks to twinkie for translating.

thanks so much for the translation and news ^^

i'm really excited for this series because rainie and mike are going to be in another drama together! i just loved them so much in DBY. but i don't really like the whole storyline and all because it's just kind of weird...somehow it makes me think that it's one of those ancient times series with magic powers and stuff...haha.

if they switch bodies, i wonder if mike would have to act like a girl and rainie more like a boy...haha
