yay yay yay!!!
[/quote]
you serious? where did it say that? WOW HOW COOL!!!! yayayyyy hehe it's gonna be the same cast yeah XP hehe omg when they gonna start filming?

Wow! This is really cool. Iswak 2 with da same casts. I think it'll only be ready around mid 2007
since both of them have a tight schedule this year.

yay! i hope they start filmling soon but i know that they probably wont start until the summer or something cause they are both very busy with other dramas, o well i konw its going to be worth the wait

BTW thanks everyone for answering my question. I think that XQ got the botton hehe

o yeah another question, is that blog site really hers? does she update or someone else??

tell you guys the truth... at first when i saw the trailer... i didn't have much interest... however after watchin the first 10 chapters my interest grew a lot... it is a pretty interesting series... but i get annoyed of things that happen between the two main characters... i'm like how come they can't be together... i think joe should've been more active and took actions towards ariel earlier... although i only watched 10 chapters... i still think joe should've acted more often towards the feelings on ariel.. he is really smart in the series...

they didnt mention about the actual filming date....

sooner or later i guess!!

keep ur fingers crossed

ooh 12.17am i sleep 1st bubye



ariels website --- www.linyichen.com

joe's website --- www.joesfamily.com.tw

joe will always leave message but not reply ariel i dunno..

Awww its so cute! I can't seem to get my eyes off the series, I'm just in the middle of ep 3, does anyone know if this series is in the dl section? because I'm not allowed in there yet.

yeah..it's already confirmed that there will be ISWAK 2...with the original cast...as for the production date...urm....that's a guess...anyway...i don't think the second series..will be released any sooner...cos both joe and ariel...have quite a busy schedule for this year...but still so looking forward for the second series...hope it's gonna be as good as the first now...as for now...i can't wait for this sunday to come sooner...eps 18...i have a hunch....it's gonna be great.....

really? hehe i liked it from the start .. how ariel gives the loveletter to joe and he just walks past her.. [it's like DBY] it's funny xP hmm ~~ in DBY rainie&mike got together so fast like.. in episode 3 or something but joe&ariel gets together towards the end .. =( i wish they could've gotten together a bit earlier so we could see more of them two together .. i don't want the series to end so soon T______T

i can't wait for the second series to come out =( i suppose it won't come out that soon .. but.. oh wells. at least there is a second part =)

Does anybody have the E Zhuo Zu ( forgot how to spell it so sorry for that) music video? I want the actual file because both Ariel and Joe were so cute there! I have a ktv version of it but I want one w/o it, so if anyone has it, can they kindly upload it?

I think that if they got together really fast then ISWAK wouldnt be ISWAK, it wouldnt be fun and the ending wouldnt be as good, it might just be another story. Thats whats so intresting about this drama i think, its because they dont really "get together" until the end. ahhh i seroiusly cant wait when zs shows his feelings to xq...its gonna be so cutee! im lovin this drama right now.

for those of you who didn't know..ep. 16 subs are already out at d-addicts^^ i'm gonna watch it rite now... can't believe there's going to be a second season... will it be based on the manga as well..or is it gonna be from scratch...like MG2 X_x;

it will be based on the manga of course! although the author died before she could finish it...but the ending is predicted.

ok like i konw this is a little weird to say but yuan chang has really really nice legs...hahaha he doesnt have hair on his legs either, i guess he shaves it...

I think that blog is for real...otherwise there won't be a picture of her & her mom.
Well some of the access also get locked though....

haha yeah that's so true =p but i just wish that it didn't end so soon .. i can't wait to see the raining episode when he says "you can't like other people" and then they kiss ... <3

has anyone seen their NG kisses on youtube? that was really cute & funny haha *lucky ariel* =P

i hav notice this movie is recently out

but i neva get 2 see wat esp it ends at

does ne1 noe/

ISWAK 2 ..can't wait when it rel again

The 惡作劇 mv also so nice n cute .. just Download last night ...

Wonder what is the storyline for ISWAK 2? Will follow the manga storyline ?
Thier honeymoon to Hawaii .... XQ go for nursing college .... ZS hv rival

i uploaded direct download for episode 1 here for erm someone...enjoy! Episode 1

and nope, i asked kino and idol shops in SG and they said they aren't going to bring the 2006 joe calender in and we must order from the official club. if anyone need directions as to where to click and order, plz pm me.

and im definately going down to kino today!!! grab tons of ISWAK stuff... thanks for the info!

and yeah, the new gal was disappointing. too demure and gentle for ZS. no substance how to be a rival of XQ... i agree bout her hair too. too flat and looks like its plastered to her face.

hey when is episode 18 gonna come out? this week? next week? can someone please upload it when it does thankkks! '

i think the reason why joe wasn't active or responsive is because he doesn't know how to love... he doesn't know if what he is feeling is love. I mean it was only when Ah Jin asks XQ's hand in marriage, that he finally realized that he's been in love with XQ this whole time. If you remember when he read the letter, he asked how does it feel to fall in love? and stuff like that.. so that kind of shows that he has no clue whether he is in love or not... well thats my explanation for him not being active..

Or maybe he's just afraid of losing someone who loves him dearly? We can also say that ZS is a little bit selfish here. Ayya, I don't know, ZQ has been surrounded by other guys before, why didn't he figure out he loved her then?

hurrayyy.. ISWAK 2 n same casts
i hope they will finish it asap 'cause i'm really so addicted to this drama..
i rewatch it over n over again until my bro have to say that i'm going to be crazy hehehe..

i think the new girl is not too bad as long as she's not talking.. i heard that she's in the same model agency with Joe, no wonder she's so tall..

come on.. sunday come quickly pleaseee hehehe..

ohh so many news members here ^___^
let's waiting all together for episode 18
let's be crazy for ISWAK loll

i think a episode 16 is in filefront ...
check in other page ..maybe you can find it ^^

anyone have a link for downloading Music video of both song " Say U Love Me" and "come a little closer" good qulity? I really want to keep their Music video.They really cute. Thank you guy ^^

thanks god they gonna have second season with same cast!! I love this drama!!

This show is soo additive in the begining... and then later on you kind of get mad... and then happy and excited and bad to man and depress... and so on....

The main male character acts really cool and smart.. but some of the scene is kind of stupid and Gay-ish.. i mean the scene, don't kill me fans.

The main female character is a bit of a retard.. but really like her atitude tours liking a guy so deep and crazy... sometime i just think she should just move on...but other time she's brave and sweet.
Not a bad show... on a scale of 10max i give it a 8...

Well, i think his legs are kind of smooth for a guy. maybe becuase he's a model, that's why he has to shave his legs? Either way, doesn't look very manly to me.

yeah at the beginning he doesnt know what LOVE is... but i think he actually getS into the habit tat XQ is always around him.. if u look carefully.. ZS wasnt tat COOL anymore when hanging with XQ.. he has a sweet smile on his face... then when his father was sick he chose to date another gal.. actually can say tat as a IQ200 genius he thinks too much tat he tot this is the right thing to do to save his father's company.. he is not as childish as b4 and become more mature and one thing.. he didnt tell any oone of his family tat the company is facing big problem... see! TAT IS WAT ZS'S KIND OF LOVE!

Yeah, he loves/likes her enough to tell her about his dream of becoming a doctor. She is also the only one who he talks to when he decides to give up his dream to save his father's company. Though i don't like they way he uses marriage to get finacial support, I think deep down he's hurt too to tell XQ to find someone else. But then again, if he already decides to let go of XQ, why the hell would he get jealous and want XQ back when Ah Jin proposes to her?

Have anyone bought the ISWAK DVD yet?
Is it true that there are some deleted scenes in the TV will put back in the DVD?

I agree! i am so looking forward to it=) the story after the manga is even sweeter..

@szesze: ya i think so too...i think far by all his signs of liking xq (being jealous of the tennis hairy guy, spending xmas, taking the present etc) are more sub-conscious..now with the burden of helping his father, he doesnt know what to do...he will only fully realise how much he likes xq when ah jin proposes! OMIGOD...i cant wait for ep 18..yet i think i will become super sian when iswak ends...



OH YA! haha that was very sweet...cos ah jin's reaction really told us that xq's cooking sucks BIG TIME..but zs still chooses to eat it day after day...=)=)

someone posted the schedule of the number of episodes and yeah, the special one will be shown on tv. after episode 18 right if im not wrong?

Yep, its kind of disappointed though since i just want to watch ep 19 right away, having to wait another 2 1/2 weeks is so torturous ( Just hope that the sepcial one is worth watching .

i tink the special will be veri funny... but i tink joe cheng will be at his own self, funny and playful, and not acting as the cool and serious ZS during the special...

but i was still hoping they will show episode 19 first den the special... waiting for 2 wks can be torturous...
mabbe cos 29/1 is Chinese New Year, so showing the special will be more festive haha

I really only like Joe cheng when he is ZS. I'm attracted to ZS's intelligence, coolness and stuff, sorry if i'm offending Joe's fans. He's so cool when he's not having a big smile, don't you guys think he's so cute when trying to hide his smile form XQ?
Can't wait to see ISWAS 2, ZS will show much more of his love towards ZQ. I can'wait to see ZS admits that only with XQ by his side, he can be himself, thus he needs her more than anyone else sweet sweet

Thanks for the answer guys!

At least they are going to show the special...even it would take us at least 2 weeks to wait.

Ok..so ep 18 then the special and then ep 19..if everything is gonna take place in 18, what will they show in ep 19?? the pic above of zs and xq on the bed will be in 19? or 18?

*Oh....thinks*

Hmmm....i think it could be on epi 18 because based on the manga (yes... i'm also basing it from the manga) *the time ZS asked uncle if its ok to marry XQ she fainted and later that night XQ went to ZS's room and asked if it is ok to sleep at his room then ZS said:"ok lets share bed" then XQ replied:"Not that i mean what if maybe the next day when i wake up you would treat nothing that happened"

I think based on the mange, they'll be sharing the bed after the proposal, since we might not be able to see the rain kiss in ep 18, then I *think* the bed scene might be in ep 19. I hope I'm wrong though.

haha i guess everyone has their own interpretation of what the heck is going on in ZS's mind.. anyways, i can't wit for 18 too.. it should be the climax since 17 was so disappointing.. i really hope that the rain, bed scenes are in this episode... wow.. a lot will be going on in this episode..


umm.. i think its because she never really intended to give up on him.. i mean if you remember, most of the guys that she was trying to make him jealous with (the year younger guy, the tennis guy, etc.).. he found out way before it was exposed, so i guess he knew that his "position" in XQ's heart was "secure".. until the whole ah jin's proposal.. when the tennis "hairy" guy told him that maybe XQ's really given up on him (based on the manga), that he realizes the truth about XQ's "position" in his own heart... you know what i mean?

In summary, this IQ of 200 guy sucks when it comes to Love. It really takes him such a long time to realize
he's in love. Whoah! really dumb guy...

Anyone knows if this picture is in what ep?




Yeah, now that you say that, I think so too. He was so sure of her love for him at the time. But really, how the hell would it take him 3 years to realize he loves her too. So dumb, can't imagine his IQ is 200 '

Well most of the intelligent guys also became dumb when it comes to love right? (but 3 years is really LONGGGGGG...)

Exactly, 3 years...But if its not 3 years then it would not be our ZS

I don't want to have high hope either. I really doubt the kiss and bed scene would be in ep 18. Maybe the ep will end ( based on the manga) when ZS knows about the proposal.

Wow this series is about over. I think is it just a tad short. Correct me if I am wrong. There will be about 1.5 episodes remaining, right? 18 will be a full episode and 19 will only be 30 minutes. What's up with the half episode, I really hate that. They did a half episode ending for DBYS and it felt like they ran out of show and just cut and ended it. Minimum they should make that a full episode.

From what I have read in this forum, episode 18 will be the one that we've all been waiting for. ZS will finally admit that he loves XQ. I think the reason ZS realize his love for XQ after AJ proposal is because this is the first time he really felt threaten. In the past, ZS always knew that XQ loves him so he never felt threaten by any of the other guys like AJ, younger guy and tennis captain. When ZS told XQ to find a guy for herself, she really took the advice. XQ finally given up on ZS and she initates a date with AJ. Even though, AJ proposal to XQ many times in the past, XQ always brush it off as a joke but this time she will consider it and that is what really scares ZS. I believe it is the thought of lose XQ, the one thing that sort of constant in his life for the past 3 years scares him (she is the one person who support him in every decision he make without much questioning.)

I still have high expectations since I have read the manga and so I know just about what will happen and I won't be surprised. But I am holding out on watching episode 17, until this weekend when episode 18 comes out. It's hard to tell from the preview of epi 18 what exactly will be in 18, and what will be in 19. I think it's helps me when I can see more than 1 episode at a time, cause there is more continuity and not as easy to get disappointed by one particular episode.

My favorite personality "types" of character matchups are the strong girl & the strong guy that has this really unexpected soft side. Like XQ & ZS - they end up fighting a lot & shouting… but I find it soo cute. ZS can be soo mean & cold towards XQ, but he really likes her & does do things that are endearing towards her. XQ, in her own right, speaks up for herself & is bold - she can stand on her own two feet. That's why I love watching these 2 characters. Can't wait to see in the next 2-3 weeks the rest of the series. Although, I certainly will miss this series - can't believe it starting airing 17 weeks ago.

I think ZS did feel kinda threaten once though. He actually didn't really know right away that XQ and that hairy guy pretended to be dating. Not until what happened in the cinema that he figured it out. That's why before that he was acting fiercely towards that guy out of jealousy Anyway, that's not enough for him to think that its love though, too bad.

Well, I think he realized that he liked XQ after her and that tennis guy became closer, but this time he needs a bigger shock to realize that its love.

that's true.. haha~ it was so funny and scary when ZS was jealous of Jason (the tennis guy)... haha~
i've been here too much.. but i LOVE this topic!

I also think that it's quiet werid for ZS who has IQ 200, should know what love is lol but seems when it comes to love his IQ is 0

Well i don't think this is in possible because love is a thing u have to feel, it's not like u can read a book and then understand what love is

He maybe at first didn't like her at all, but slowly he starts to care about her more but he don't know that he has a another feeling...so when XQ was getting close with other guys he starts to feel jealous.

But he knows that the only person XQ loves is him,so he kept treat her on the normally way. But when later he gets to know that XQ goin to marry Ah Jin, he suddenly don't want to lose the person who always loved him for 4 years. And he finally understand that he really wants XQ to be with him, and that he can't breathe without her! hehe
