AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE translate this please!! I really want to know what this series is about since I'm a HUGE HUGE HUGE AMBROSE fan.

OMGOSH!!!!!!! LARA from NQMM is going to act in this series??? WOW, is her Chinese good enough?? hehe, I mean--I would really really liket to see her act in this series, but I've watched her on some shows and she didn't even speak every much, since her Chinese wasn't too great! ><; ALSO, LARA AND AMBROSE as a pair??? They don't look good together, but then again I haven't seen them together yet-so I'll just wiat and see... haha, well now I'm def. CAN'T WAIT until this!!!

[JKH]

OMG!!!!! Ambrose and Alex together in one drama!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!
But, the two female leads are so young! Zhuo Wen Xuan is in Love Queen right now, and she's cute. But for these two guys, I think we need some older actresses. And Lara is cute and a good singer, but I wonder what kind of character she would play?

[183_club]

don't tell me that this series is going to take over wei xiao pasta!!!!!

[Oo~bbt_addict~oO]

omg i love ambrose!! so hot in lavender and dolphin at the bay <33

[♥ღ Katherine ♥ღ]

lavender_rain : Glad to see there are still Ambrose's fans. Ambrose said that he had to push back 3 other Chinese series in order to come back to TW for this new San-lih 's drama.. I went to SET forum and read lots of fans' greetings , so i hope ppl will support this series.
It seems like Ambrose will play 2 roles here, one is an "big star" (da ming xing) ^^

The only thing i'm pissed off is Alex To. He's too old and doesn't have the "idol look" to be suitable for an idol drama. Regarding Ambrose & Lara, i don't see any problem with them. Lara is 19 but she looks more mature than we think. And Ambrose, didn't he start his career and gain the fame from an idol series ??

[Orchid1223]

This seems to be the first Sanlih series that does not have a Jungiery member in the cast so far. I think it is actually a good thing because people tend to get tired of seeing the same people over and over again. Don't get me wrong I love the people in Jungiery. It has been a while since Ambrose is the lead in a series.

[aggiesbaby]

Definitely the fact that Alex To being a lead is what makes this new series a turnoff for me. And we're not the only ones. Fans at SETTV are like 'wtf' too about Alex To being a lead. I mean, he's like old enough to be my dad and I'm a 3rd year undergraduate student!

Ambrose has always been grateful to SETTV for skyrocketing his career. Without SETTV there wouldn't have been Lavender and Dolphin Bay and without those two series, Ambrose wouldn't have become so popular and established SETTV as the king/queen of idol dramas. So when SETTV asked him to take part in their next series, he graciously accepted.

While I too, see that Jungiery is constantly being used in SETTV series thus making it a little boring yet I still like the idea of having like one J-Star in the series granted he/she hasn't filmed in a long long time. Like JR of KOne.

More info in Lara since not TOO many people are familiar with her.
Name: Lara Liang-Veronin 梁心颐
Born: May 2, 1988(making her 18)
Nationality: Russian Taiwanese-American
Birth Place: Born and raised in Southern California (USA) *my hometown*
Education: Taipei American School in Taiwan Class of 2006

[~coco_shiori~]

i dont know she was so young:S but i like nan quen mama. her first role. hope her acting is well.

ambrose!! i love him in lavender:p

[kirill]

I like the title. And Ambrose Hsu.

Yay! Another Ambrose drama, I adored him in Dolphin Bay. He's a really good actor, and the fact that it's an SETTV drama makes me happier ^^ Sanlih's dramas have rarely disappointed me.

Lara as the female lead...hmm. I like her in Nan Quan Ma Ma, her voice is incredible, but I haven't seen her act. Hope she'll surprise us in her acting debut! But I thought her Mandarin wasn't so good...maybe they'll dub her voice like they did with Wu Zun in Tokyo Juliet?

Alex To...

[Mystixazn]

me too. OMGOSH i really like him in Dolphine Bay. but, wat's this series about

[aggiesbaby]

SETTV doesn't dub...actually idol dramas don't dub. If they did, then Ambrose would've been dubbed for Lavender and Dolphin Bay. Lara's Chinese is pretty good...she doesn't have a thick accent. She's pretty damn good with the language given the fact that she's an ABC. Think of her Chinese competency at the level of eVonne and Vicki.

[REVERiE]

The other actress is.. 卓文萱(Gini Chou)? She wrote on her blog that...

Love Agency started filiming on September 18, 2006. She plays a character called "朱可欣" who is a daughter of a very rich man. (http://www.wretch.cc/blog/rockgenie&article_id=4132953)

[aznsweetgrl04]

omg! hecka young actresses!! anyway cant wait to watch another ambrose series where he is lead again he hasnt been lead since like dolphin bay rite? and alex to yaya!

[j_halo7]

wah Lara from NQMM. i thought i saw wrongly. anyway i like Lara and Zuo Wen Xuan. i always think that Zuo Wen Xuan looks a bit like BoA.

[Yunsias ♥]

i saw the BTS of this show in WQYL. quite interesting! they were saying that Lara has no experience in acting and that her acting will be the most natural expression. i have a feeling that Alex and Lara is the main couple, which i'm like totally against~

i think the actress who played Qing Kong in AQMFS is also in the show. because i saw someone who looks like her in the BTS footage but im not very sure. i hope that if she is in the show, she will have a more favourable role (unlike in AQMFS). i think she is a very good actress and i kinda like her

[aggiesbaby]

^I also thought I saw "Qing Kong"- Lin Meng Jing is her name I believe. Hmm..I think she might be the other female lead since her, Alex, Ambrose and Lara were filming the open sequence on WQYL's news Thursday.

I REALLY hope it's Ambrose whose number one male lead.

[fabbie]

Here are some pictures =)

[jannoo]

i dont know she was so young:S but i like nan quen mama. her first role. hope her acting is well.

ambrose!! i love him in lavender:p

oh Lara is a russian, asian, american mix blood..no wonder she look so pretty. Her eyes are so big and cute

This series will replace Smile Pasta in November (I think). A S.E.T's production.

Cast :
Male actors: Ambrose, Alex Tu, Jin Pei Chen
Female actresses: Lara (from Nan Quan Ma Ma), Zhuo Wen Xuan
Started shooting: 15-09-06

三立偶像劇向來是青少年的最愛，不過，最新一檔偶像劇「愛情經紀約」的男主角杜德偉（44歲）和許紹洋（30歲），兩人歲數加起來有74歲，堪稱三立有史以來年紀最大的偶像劇演員，所幸有19歲的LARA當女主角，才得以拉低全劇平均年齡層。

杜德偉(左)、許紹洋演出超齡偶像劇。

以往，三立偶像劇男女主角都鎖定5566、王心凌等年輕偶像，配上浪漫卡通化的劇情，奠定收視佳績。但新戲「愛情經紀約」的風格丕變，劇情描述娛樂經紀圈的內幕故事，杜德偉飾演財大勢大的經紀人，許紹洋一人分飾大明星和窮小子２角，戲份頗重，LARA則分別和兩人產生曖昧情愫。

現實生活中，曾和杜德偉傳過緋聞的女舞者Irene陳以仁，現為許紹洋女友，Irene周旋在兩人之間，正巧應驗了「戲如人生」這句話。此外，三立偶像劇名稱，都向來都會附加一句「一段愛與…的故事」，例如「微笑PASTA」是「一段愛與SMILE的故事」；「紫禁之巔」則是「一段愛與勇氣的故事」，因此，有網友毒舌戲稱「愛情經紀約」的標語應該改為「一段愛與表兄弟的故事」，淺顯易懂擱有力！

對於「愛情經紀約」恐將變成「超齡偶像劇」，杜德偉和許紹洋的經紀人高漢玲表示，這次，三立的政策就是想把收視群拉寬一點，所以才找杜德偉和許紹洋出馬。和差他25歲的LARA演愛情戲，杜德偉也說他從沒碰過年紀這麼小的對手，但他會努力演出劇中設定的角色，心情和實力都不會受到影響。
I haven't found any pics yet since they didn't organize any press conference. I think we have to wait for few weeks
If you have any news, pls update. Really appreciate it ^^

is this all about the story? can someone translate if it's about the story line. tq

[aggiesbaby]

SET has already put up the official forum.

The director is the director from Magicians of Love/AQMFS and if not mistaken, also one of the directors from WZBQW...

[♥ღ Katherine ♥ღ]

Ya, I've been waiting for SET to put up the official website I always admire SET Crew's creation ^^

The SET forum shows this line 一段愛與約定的故事, so it's the "title" of this drama, right ? The word "約定" has been mentioned in most of the series of SET; however, i don't remember if they've already used it as the tagline yet

My fav pic ^^

[spirit]

both alex to and ambrose don't look very good with lara. i doubt there will be any chemistry in this series...

however, i'd love to see lara act. just not in a series, with those guys.

awww sucha cute pic. i have to agree that lara doesnt really look good with either of the male leads...*sigh* oh wells...i hope it turns out better than it looks anyone know what the plot is?

[kirill]

eee.

The leads look so mismatched, somehow. Even Ambrose looks like Lara's brother or something.

Alex To looks like a pervert/pedophile/Lara's gay brother. I can barely imagine a romance between any of them with Lara...let alone a love triangle.

Ambrose looks goooood, though. He's getting much better looking! Love the hair and sunglasses, very cool.

Alex To what's with the horrible white suit?

Is this the same Lara that sang with Jason for the theme song of ISWAK?
the Say that you love song

[mmitsjojo]

i would love to see lara act & ambrose act in a taiwanese series again, but they dont look like they have too much chemistry, i hope this is one of the ' looks are decieving ' kind of thing and when the drama comes, they`ll have so much chesmistry, but i dont realyl like alex toh, he's so old, its disgusting >< they should stick someone else in alex's position >< eeeeks.

[iluvu43va143]

i wonder if lara can act. i know she can sing but acting is totally different. i'll look forward to ambrose and alex but iono about lara. she doesn't seem very compatible with either man. hopefully the story will be good.

The part I bolded was the funniest part..it was killing me...

I totally agree with you...They are soo mismatch..now I'm not saying Lara is ugly because she is pretty..but she looks like she has big ears...lol..I sound mean..but it's just my observation..

Well who knows...this series might turn out really good..and they might have amazing chemsitry..
Since this is Lara's first drama gig..I'll give her the benefit of the doubt if she can act or not...

I'll look forward to watching it...

Does anyone know what the drama is about?, What's the story of the drama?


Well I found this picture of her and she looks really pretty here..her hair is down to cover her ears..but she looks really good

Lols. It's true.

The pic is really pretty. =) And she's quite unique, half-Russian, half-Chinese. Cooool.

Yup, I'll give her a chance too. I mean, Ming Dao did great for his first acting gig, and so did Ambrose Hsu in Lavender. The director must have seen some potential in Lara to cast her in this show.

I'm still not diggin' Alex To though. Pfft.

"约定" hasn't been used as a tagline yet....but anyways, to refresh everyone's minds, I've listed the taglines for all of the SETTV/SETTV affiliated idol dramas =)

WX Pasta(Smile Pasta): 一段爱与smile的故事
*A story of love and smiles*
AQMFS(The Magicians of Love):一段爱与逐梦的故事
*A story of love and chasing after your dream*
LGSL(Green Forest, My Home)-一段爱与相信的故事
*A story of love and trust*
WZBQW(The Prince Turns to Frog): 一段爱与童话的故事
*A story of love and fairytale*
GDTW(Mr Fighting):一段爱与荣誉的故事
*A story of love and honor*
TGDJY(Le Robe de Mariage des Cieux)-一段爱与守候的故事
*A story of love and faith*
ZJZD(Top of the Forbidden City)-一段爱与勇气的故事
*A story of love and courage*
XTS(Snow Angel)-一段爱与奇迹的故事
*A story of love and miracles*
XJSN(Westside Story)-一段爱与冒险的故事
*A story of love and risks*
HTWLR(At the Dolphin Bay)-一段爱与传说的故事
*A story of love and a legend*
MVP(MVP Valentine)-一段爱与梦想的故事
*A story of love and dreams*
XYC(Lavender)-一段爱与承诺的故事
*A story of love and promise*

The closest tagline with this new drama would be Lavender's tagline because 约定 and 承诺 mean 'promise' in English.

I saw a brief commercial for the series and it was nicely done.

[marmar]

the two lead male roles look more compatiable then paired wit Lara...lol
how sad...

Well I hope this drama turns out really good...


I found a BTS clip on youtube..here ya'll go
BTS Love Agency

They are practicing how Lara can fall into a Alex's arms..she looks good in here but Alex still looks too old for her.

im thinking Lara looks weird with the 2 leads probably cuz she looks far too young to be with them. but the directors didnt try and make her look more mature. so maybe the promise in the tagline could mean when they were young either male lead made a promise with Lara to be together when they are older. but to him it was just a joke so he forgot but to the girl, she cherished this promise. manz, im going bonkers. ranting on about a stupid plot...forgive me.

That'll will be EXTREMELY stupid.

As repetitive as the whole "made a promise when they were young" storyline is getting, having one of them make a joke out of it, and completely forget would just kill the story. SET dramas are always about all these faith, promise, courage, etc...and to have that happen will be really, really stupid.

Ambrose looks gooood in that preview! ^^ Alex looks so-so, still a bit old. Lara looks more compatible with Ambrose, she's quite cute in the preview. Hope she does well in this drama. =)

Is there a synopsis available?

Yep I totally agree with you Lara looks good with Ambrose, Alex just looks too old for her...but she does look good in the preview I love her style in it...

[Yunsias ♥]

Lara is going to act as somewhat like a tomboy. she seems so cute in it! kinda similar to her personality. from the BTS footage i saw in WQYL, it really does seem that Alex and her are the main couple. i really hope that they will change

[marmar]

I think it will change...I think it'll make it seem that Alex is the main guy but Lara will end up with Ambrose...
I'm hoping she ends up with him because judging from BTS clip Lara and Ambrose looks more better together...
Alex looks like an older brother.

[Yunsias ♥]

But then in one of the BTS footage, Lara was commenting that this will be the first series that the girl will end up with the older guy (meaning Alex) and not the younger guy (meaning Ambrose).

Ambrose really look very nice and hot now!

Do you have that clip, can you post it?

Well I'm hoping that it will change I mean because the thread headline Ambrose name is first before Alex's...I know it doesn't mean anything but still I'm hoping that she does end up with Ambrose...
