It seems like a lot of people here read the manga and knows the how story already. Does anyone know where I could read the manga too?? I can't wait to find out what happens....one episode a week is torture. Thanks!

I agree with all of you. But I think we should relax and just watch what we have so far. There may be many surprises but I hope the Taiwanese series isn't so loyal to the manga. If it was, then it'd be too predictable. Let's hope they add some Taiwanese spice to it!

people!! I've discovered that you can download the ppstream program to watch the show live tomorrow night, which works much better HERE.

Just click on my link and save it, then run and install the program.. i'm afraid there's no way i could provide a direct link because you've got to select the channels yourself. However, i do believe that its now on 综艺秀2台 instead of the previously mentioned 综艺秀4台... just try both channels out and see which one is CTV yar? i'l check them out tomorrow as well and update here on the forum



i've posted the links somewhere in the first fw pages of this thread to the online reading of the scanlations for the manga.. but now, i've found out the torrent link for downloading the scanlations.. (making them faster and easier to read ) i've posted the BT link in the download section

Hey, did anyone catch Ariel and Joe on Big Brother Entertainment. I don't know when it was but I just saw a few pictures.

And can someone tell me who the guy is here?:

awww...darn. The scanslations/manga...is in chinese, not english. ='(

he's a member of May Day, a famous band in Taiwan. Ariel is the female lead in may Day newest Music Video

Thank you so much!!! I'm downloading it now. I can't wait.....yippeeeeeee

OMG!!!!!!!! i feel so left behind this series....... my computer has been down for quite awhile...... i'm uing my dad's laptop..... i wasn't able to post nor download it to watch....... what's happening in the show now???? i might try watching with that program purplexx intro......

thanks soooo much purplexx.....

i can't wait to watch...and i can't wait for my computer to return home......i'm dying without it!!!!!!

Yes, I finally saw the first three episodes and might I say, they really lived up to my expectations. Even better actually. Ariel's performance is once again, I believe flawless. She portrays her character to the TEEEE. She's great at the whole clueless but I'm still really sweet type. It's great. The supporting cast such as the mother, fathers and little brother are grrreat. They add humor and life. And Joe really blew me away. Most Taiwanese actors, as great as the are, usually have this trouble showing emotion or they mumble words too much but Joe is absolutely wonderful. He adds light, speaks clearly and has great body language. My favorite scene was the part were he listed the four rules to her. That was cute and superb acting! These actors make it all feel so......real.

I can't wait for episode 4!!

yeah! in the meantime, do take a look at the manga scanlations to refresh our memories about the manga!!! its available for dl here:
http://asianfanatics.net/forum/Manga_Itazu...talk154783.html

but i must warn you all though.. its in chinese.. so sorry to those non-chinese fans... if anyone finds the english scanlations, i'll help to share also!

thanks for the link! but for some reason the torrent doesn't work for me something about security reasons or smth?

i can't wait to see the may day MV...the lead singer of may day 'gui xiao' is pretty cute i think! this is Ariel's second time acting in one of their MVs! and the main singer even cracked a joke about it (actually other people have made this joke about ariel)...because they are filming the video at Taiwan's 101 Tower...who else should be the main character but 'lin yi chen' (ariel's name in mandarin sounds like 01 level'

ooh and ZEROANDONE i saw ariel and joe on big brother entertainment..it was alright..but not enough scenes of them! mostly they just play this game where they try to eat this chip just by moving their face (like someone puts a chip on their forehead andt hey have to try to move it down to their mouth and eat it) and shows ariel trying this beef noodle soup that won a recent contest in taiwan for being the best beef noodle soup...it was funny though because people were making fun of her for wanting to really eat it (because before she was trying to lose weight) and how she could get on big mouthful in because she has a big mouth...lol. I don't remember when it was aired though...I think more than one week ago

>>>>>號稱史上最慘烈的偶像劇戰役今晚開打，偶像一哥明道「王子變青蛙」左打S.H.E「真命天女」，右劈林依晨、鄭元暢「惡作劇之吻」，由於「王子」是最後一集大結局，S.H.E則是首集登場，勢必殺得天昏地暗，「真命」一次播3小時，開了最長偶像劇新例。
>>>不是寒暑假也非廣告旺季，但史上最激烈的偶像大戰卻選在今晚開打，明道一戰成名的「王子變青蛙」今晚要播最後一集，收視原已居高不下，今晚為了左右開弓，穩住偶像霸主地位，祭出祕密武器，將加播30分鐘「失去記憶的男孩」，將原本劇中一段感人劇〝策虪X來，但到底是剪輯舊有片段還是新拍？就要看今晚粉絲的法眼分辨。
>>>>S.H.E挾著超人氣推出「真命天女」，這齣戲是3人首部戲分均等的大戲，未演先轟動，早在大陸及華人地區都已創下高價賣出，製作人張曼娜為3個女生量身打造的角色，絕對可以讓粉絲看到眉開眼笑，連播兩集3小時，連華視招牌節目「快樂星期天」都暫停一次，華視力挺由此可見。
>>>中視「惡作劇之吻」則老神在在，因為強敵「王子變青蛙」即將下檔，「惡作劇」剛上檔不到一個月，後勢看好，收視劇坐二望一，S.H.E固然來勢洶洶，但碰到演技派林依晨和鄭元暢，加上「惡」劇改編自日本漫畫，粉絲眾多，看來鹿死誰手，猶未可知。
>>>3齣偶像劇、超級偶像交鋒大戰，今晚除了比劇情、比人氣，還要比粉絲是否捧場，據悉，明道、鄭元暢、S.H.E的粉絲們已緊急動員，護主到底，拚收視還要拚團結。

haha this newspaper article talks about how today is the taiwanese drama showdown because Prince Turned Frog is airing last episode, S.H.E.'s Reaching for the Stars is airing first episode, and IT Started with a Kiss is airing as well.

I'm looking forwards the 4th episode. The lead actor is the one in "Magic Ring". I appreciate him in this drama. And he is also very cool in this new drama (it started with a kiss). I like Ariel Lin in "love contract" and i think that she is very funny. She deserved this character in this new drama : i can't imagine another actress in this role. don't you think like me ?

somehow when i downloaded it, it doesn't run in english. anyone knows how i can view the words in chinese?

oh.. you can download this programme called "Microsoft AppLocale" from this website.

Then set up and run the applocale programme.. It is sorta like a wizard... you can choose to launch an application for which you apply AppLocale (choose the PPstream application here), den click next. You'll be brought to a page where u can choose the language and choose chinese... and tada~ you'll be able to read everything in chinese!

hope i'm not confusing you with my instructions!

lol. thanks alot. i followed your instructions and i got everything in chinese!

i better prayed that it doesn't take long for me to stream. is it really confirmed that it will be shown on ch2 instead of 4?

hmmm i just tuned into channel 2 and it's CTS (showing that new SHE series) so I think it has changed again? I'm going to try 4 now...

edit://

just checked channel 4.... and yes it is the CTV channel. tune in guys! ;]

arghh.. there's something wrong with my computer today!!! may not be able to watch it..

I watched 3 eps of this series..itz so good ..so funny too
does anyone know where i can read the japanesemanga for it ...

thankz ..^.~

blehh me too... too much buffering and it takes a while to connect. -__- i only mangaged to catch a glimpse of the part when she's sneaking into his room in the dark.. and then it buffered and never came back. i give up~! i'll wait for the BT link instead... it usually comes out pretty quickly... like 30 - 1 hr after it's finished airing.

muahahahahaha! me too! i can't even catch a glimpse of it! the buffering is just too damn slow, not to add that it keeps disconnecting halfway! argh! how long do u all actually take to download the BT link?

hey gals.. i restarted my comp.. and now i have no prob watching it! there's no buffering prob at all! but i cannot use the ppstream, so i'm using the other link i provided as well: http://zyshow.bbs.asiaec.com/live.htm

wow.. i finished watching the show! hehe.. now i'm so looking forward to episode 5 next week!

hmm.. i wonder what ZS meant when he said to XQ: "Even if i like you, i will not accept their arrangements", when he overheard their parents trying to come up with a design for a house for the two of them... Does it mean that he is starting to like XQ already!??

and i find the part where XQ and friends keep going to his room to ask for his help in their homework! heh.. its like he was willing to help but wanted to maintain his image! and after that he pretended to be sleeping.. haha.scared of them!

Mine buffered for the 1st 10 minutes. After that it was smooth sailing till the end. Thanks Purplexx for the Live Tv Link.

*Screams*

I love your avatar!!! Hee!

I think the day mine became smooth sailing is the day when pigs will fly! lolz!

for all those who didn't get a chance to catch the show yet... the YDY link is out for episode 4 now!!!

http://bt.ydy.com/index.php?language=cn&fi..._id=1&submit=Go

i cannot post the dl link here because of the rules.. but i posted the website.. do check it out!

oh.. i posted the download link in the download section... so for those non-chinese fans and can access the download section, do pop over to take a lool



haha.. try again next week! perhaps you'll get better luck! and to all those who thanked me.. no prob! then we can all watch together and discuss!!

Can someone post the english names of the actors and actresses? Cause I wanna know the english name (or pinyin) of Ah Jin (Ariel's admirer XD)

thanks in advance..

wow thanks purplexx!!! i usually get the link from icefish because they're quick but it seems like this week, ydy beat them. wooT. can't wait to i finish d/ling.

wow i'm quite surprised too!! ydy actually got something before icefish! hahaha. and i usual d/l icefish then the ydy version and delete the icefish one because i prefer ydy (better audio in my opinion). if only they could have been quick with the last ep of WZBQW.

thanks for the link~!! can't wait to watch it!

one quick question..when is the OST releasing? That SHE drama serial OST is already out..so i was just wondering how come this show's OST is taking that long...?

hi guyz.. m new here as de memeber though i have always been a fan of dis thread and readin every stuff here jus got chance to be member.. anyway.. i so in love in dis drama too it's so funny and adorable in terms of plots and actors.. i actually came across Ctv just once and happened to c Ariel (who i admired ever since i watched her old drama "love at 18yrs" hehe.. then "Love contract"...)it's de reason i stated to watch dis...and now i've fallen deeply and deeply hehe.. too bad only once a week anyway.. so the main lead is Joe(though in ROSE, he portrayed gay-like image, he's so manly here ), is he really that 187cm tall?.. to me , he jus around 184cm..i mean by look.. well can u confirm? and i'v read somewhere Ariel is 160cm , true? hehe.. if it's so.. it's jus even more funnier to me.. however they well matched than Bi+hye in fullhouse yo anyway...

ah.. forgot.. hey guyz.. can anyone Translate the part where they walk together from skol , it looked like they talk alot.. and i barely get them.. my chinese is very poor though i place dict aside ' hehe... can anyone translation any funnny parts of eps aired dis week? 3 or 4 m not sure/ as i no they aired for one hour and a half..
OH Cool isn't it? right after "it started wit a kiss" over , they re-aired DVBU again.. so i gotta watch again too hehe.. still KISS is better ..

i watched ep4 live on ppstream last nite, i was wondering if everyone else had a buffering problem like i had. after about 3 mins of smmoth playing, it kinda froze and took a minute to re buffer.

other than that, ppstream is one wicked program!!!



thank you soo much. your generosity & help is muchly appreciated. please keep them coming.

Thanks for the link![/quote]


Thanks thanks thanks...

I was wondering where i can find this and dl it... thanks again... everyone here say it is good so i really want to watch it and you just saved me ..!!!

THANKS SOOOO MUCH FOR THE SONGS~!! i LOVE the music in there!

ok i just finished watching ep 4 yesterday and i'm really beginning to love the series! the parents really make me laugh esp the mother! she is so weird and cute! hahahaha. though i didn't quite understand what was going on with Brian/ Joe in this ep.

SEMI-SPOILER:

why does Brian/ Joe not want to go to college? I couldn't understand that scene between him and ariel when they were on the balcony. Is Brian/Joe starting to like Ariel? cause in that scene when the parents were talking about the new house after they get married... he said something to her along the lines of liking her or something.

thanks!

Yeah same here!!! I was a bit confused too, what is ZhiShu / Brian's reason for not going University..??? Is it because he can't find his goal in life or cos of Xiang Qing (ariel)?? hmm...someone enlighten me..?? hehe..

oh my god. i just finished watching ep4, and i absolutely loved it, the series just keeps getting better and better and it just gets more funnier and lovlier at the same time.

i cant get enough of this show. I absolutely cannot wait for episode 5!!!

hmm.. i had no problem watching live yesterday night.... i guess luck and computer speed plays an important role!!

i think it's more of him not finding a goal in his life yet, and that maybe, he doesn't really understands why everyone insisted on him going to the best university or just any other university just because he's smart. I guessed, he doesn't really like to follow what people wants him to do or expect from him!

I can't wait for the next episode too!!! Especially after watching the ending part when they showed what's going to be shown next week! And the long-awaited kissing scene! can't wait!!!

Translations for episode 4... hee.. i've decided to do some translations for episode 4... but don't worry Leeda.. i've not come to the scene you requested yet.. i'll translate it if no one else does so later in the week ok?

The scene when XQ snooped around ZS's room late at night

XQ: Yuan Xiang Qin (Ariel)
ZS: Jiang Zhi Shu (Joe)

<outside ZS's door>
XQ's thoughts: God, Buddha, Alla, please forgive me.. I do not mean to steal anything. However, i'm now like a crimminal who was forced up the wall. I just want to copy ZS's answers for a while.. yes.. just borrowing it for a while..
--XQ turns to enter the room--


<in ZS's room>
XQ's thoughts: My goodness! I have night-blindness! Its so dark.. how do i search for it? (she bangs into something) Ouch. Don't even leave the lights on when you sleep.. want to cause trouble to me! (: you're the one who's snooping around! ) Ouch. How come there are so many obstacles! (turns on the lamp and focuses it on ZS) Luckily he's fast asleep.... There are so many books. I wonder which one is it.. Where should i start looking? Workbook, workbook.. where are you? AIyah! I've brought along a torch! How could i have forgotten!! (: because you are XQ!) (turns on her torch and starts rummaging through the stack) Funny.. why did he have to hide his workbook...MMmmmm?? What does it mean by "Observations diary of the pig-brain XQ"?? What did this boy write about? (flips through and its all ugly drawings of her so she corrects them and changed the words to "Big Beauty". In the meantime, we see that ZS has already noticed her in the room.) Hmm... Very good. This is then like the real cute me! Oh ya! Almost forgot... (Begins her search again) Workbook.. don't hide from me..Come out quicky.. Where are you? (looks around and saw ZS's schoolbag) Schoolbag! Wow.. its the first time i find you (the schoolbag) so lovely! Where are you? OH YES! Got it! The best model answers! (takes the workbook happily)

--ZS suddenly grabs XQ's hands--
ZS: What are you doing?
XQ: Nothing.. I'm leaving now.... (struggling while ZS forces her up the bed)
ZS: That will not do.. Why did you come here sneakily in the middle of the night?
XQ: I...I'm not....
ZS: I know.. You want to attack me..
XQ: That's.. That's not it.. I...
ZS: You come to my room sneakily in the middle of the night.. If you didn't want to attack me, then what did you want?
XQ: I... I
ZS: Shh.. Don't worry.. I won't tell anyone else. Anyway there's only you and me in the house now. Didn't AJ said before that a genius can also turn into a pervert? ( So cheeky! Always teasing her) I.. may not be able to control... (pretends to kiss her)
XQ: AHHHH!!! Cannot!! Even though i really like you a lot, this is still way too fast! We should start by dating first...
ZS: Dating??!
XQ: Yeah....
--ZS laughs and gets off XQ--
XQ: You're mocking me!
ZS: So you still like me?
XQ: I...
ZS: Don't worry. I don't have the intention to go steady with you..
XQ: You this mean fellow! (slaps the book back at ZS) Return to you! Tomorrow i shal tell everyone in school that you attacked me at night!
ZS: Go ahead and tell them. It doesn't matter to me.. Anyway, only idiots will believe those kind of rumours.
XQ: YOU!
ZS: You really don't want this anymore? (hold up the workbook)
XQ: Don't look down on people! I don't want that kind of thing!
ZS: You seriously don't want it? Its maths.. You've gotta do the sums for a long time for answers..
XQ: That's right. I don't want it!
ZS: Hey.. you threatened and apologised to me for this thing.. and now you said you don't want it anymore?? I feel sad for you....You really don't want it?
XQ: I said no means no!
ZS: Alright! Please close the door as you leave! I'm going to bed!
XQ: Why must you do this on purpose!
--XQ slams the door and walks away--

thank you so much for the translation, i was wondering what he said to her on the bed..omg they're so cute together! i already watched the japanese drama and i think this one is just as good although i wish joe played his character a bit more coldly so when he does do nice things it seems sweeter. i hope this taiwanese version would have english subs when it comes out on VCD/DVD..the japanese one doesn't have it so i don't understand anything

ya same here...so many ppl are waiting for the ost...this drama should really release his ost

daHHHH its killin me~ every1's discussing #4!!! n i havent even watched it yet! i wanna discuss and say how cute joe was too.. .. y?! y?! stoopid bitorrents not working..been stuck at 0% saying error problem connecting to tracker... for like 2 days!.. is it really juss me??? can some1 plz help me here? or is there like a direct dl somewhere out there...?

I love this series too. I'm starting to read the manga for this, and it's awesome.

in the manga it was also because T University (taiwan university in this case) was his dad's alma mater and he didn't want to have to follow in his dad's footsteps (because his dad wanted him to study business at his alma mater and later take over the family business)

PURPLEXX i love your signature banners !!
