Babiluxx, I agree with you... I think that this thread needs to be de-spammed again.. hehe... Things like "so-and so is really cute or Thanks!) - it's considered spam. And we're not supposed to quote a ton of photos.
Also, I would urge newbies to the thread to try & read the entire thread because a lot of people/fans posted a lot of interesting opinons and thoughts on ISWAK & its character that are worth taking the time to read.

And if you have a question, chances are other people had the same question and already posted it previously.

Anyways, there are still major parts of the show that we haven't seen so I'm still quite excited like everyone else to see how the chemistry btw ZS & XQ turn out in the end. Personalities can't change overnight so I imagine that they will still be the same… but hopefully we will see a lot more smiles. As for ISWAK 2 - I haven't read much of the manga for that part yet, but as I guess as long as they stick to the manga storyline, I think it will be good. Just no incidents that lead to memory loss issues or really horrible "qing di" who bad stabs/lies & cheats… cause I feel like that would really take away from the "essense" that makes ISWAK really likeable.
yes i totally agree with you!! i think dramas that has these stuff in it are too overrated, i mean if its like a few dramas then its ok but i think its just too dramatic which takes it away. ISWAK is more like a romanic commedy, very different from the other ones ive seen. The story is simple so are the characters, pretty easy to understand, but the acting is great and the storyline is very cute. I hope Part II is gonna be good.
I must say i think this is my favorite drama of all time. I must be honest at first i was not really intrested in this drama because i didnt really konw the actors and they werent as attractive ya konw? but then i started watching it and i began to like the actors more and more. Ariel and Joe really portray the characters so well. Good JOb!
anyways sunday is soon! yay

To go OT a little, I've just watched episodes 6-12 of The Rose. My first reaction to Joe is that he's so very 'victorian' in that show, heh. It's that damn white robe. And he sort of overacted in it, I feel. It's a really, really odd show, but I like it. Was it a really big hit in Taiwan? It's also hysterical as well, because I feel there's no way anyone would like that male lead/character. Why is it that they insist on getting really wooden actors to play leads? It's the same for Tain Guo De Jia Yi. Meh.
And back on topic, I've read he manga at least 4 times now. Man. And I've watched a few clips on Joe yesterday, and sad to say, that scene *spoiler* of him in a wedding dress is not in XQ's dream. The director wanted something different so he got ZS wearing it. I think it's too out of character for him *spoiler*

I think XQ will be a very happily married wife because ZS no longer pretends that he doesn't like her. And it seems like ZS is the kind of person that will give his all to the one he loves.
i totally agree with wat u say... ZS may seem cool and cold at times but i tink he is a devoted man and will be a devoted husband
XQ is such a lucky girl... even though she spent 5 years but she still manage to win ZS heart eventually... she will be the happiest girl ever

i hope they will have a normal wedding, they will not exchange clothes cause ZS's character is a cool person so how come he will wear a wedding dress?? it will ruin my sincerity to ZS
but i still love this drama.. the best drama i ever watched

I enjoy watching this drama from the beginning. But lately, last few episodes, seems a bit boring and drag a lot. HOpefully, the ending is good.

i totally agree they should have a normal wedding with xq wearing a wedding dress and zs wearing a tux!
that wedding scene..is it an actual scene because i though it was one of xiang qin daydream.

hmm..i think it's the actual wedding with both of them changing the clothes leh...a bit wasted lor.cos i was hoping to see zhishu wearing tux, i bet it will be very very shuai on him!!!!and xq will also be very pretty in wedding dress bah..

Feb 4 2006 1 11 PM
the director trying to create some amusement.
Zs always "bully" xq, so now it xq turn to "bully" him back...

Feb 4 2006 1 18 PM
Yup. I will also prefer the wedding with them wearing proper attire..
i guess its because of the fact that ZS had habit of wearing skirt or something when he was a kid in the show. I'm not sure if it (the habit of wearing skirt) was in the original manga as I have not read the manga..
Moreover, they filmed that scene in the rain. So it doesn't look like quite a nice romantic kind of wedding scene.

Is the rain real?
or they spray?

i think the exchanging of clothes for the wedding is the real and actual wedding. but that's soooo disappointing...not romantic and sweet...was hoping to see a beautiful, nice 'oh so sweet' wedding though it is normal...plus i wanna see ZS in a suit! i love guys wearing suits...very hot!

oh well maybe the director will surprise us and is using this wedding preview to trick us so we'll truely be surprised when they have a nice normal wedding?
I think the director is brilliant to think of a unique scene for the Wedding. Though I wish for a romantic wedding but isn't this too cliche. Which serie has the main actor wearing a Wedding gown? Doesn't this make Iswak unique and interesting? I'm looking forward to that funny scene.

Feb 4 2006 3 49 PM
^ i agree with you! i think the wedding is acutally cute, i mean its different and i think im going to enjoy that, its not what they wear its the way that they act toward eachother which is romantic anywas so im totally fine with the crossdressing wedding thing its funny and romantic adds more spice on it.

mabbe ZS is used to XQ crazy ideas... and besides he love her too much to reject her request... and i feel that ZS has changed from a cold and boring guy to a more fun-loving guy after meeting XQ hehe

see how fast the thread discussion is going on...
i think it great.
I also wondered how xq persude him...
tml u pple can watch, don't forget to tell us what happened....pls...
everytime, a wedding guy will wear suit, the female will wear gown...
think director feel it too common...
indeed, ISWAK have many unique points....
most of the series, are guys who are always going after the female, while this is the opposite.
Maybe he lost a bet and had to wear the dress or he lost a tennis match to Jason and was forced to wear the dress. LMAO
alateria
Feb 4 2006 5 13 PM
the possbilities of zs losing a match to jason is 0...he cant have lost...
unless....it xq lost, they use zs as a bet..
maybe the mum forced him...
crystalsky
Feb 4 2006 8 28 PM
However, if the series follow the manga closely, there is no ZS wearing a gown like that . OMG, that scene, though very funny, is just too out of tune here. Just my 2 cents though .

Did you guys watch Prince turned into a frog ? The second half of this series where the main lead forgot about the first lead, he treats her kinda cold, just like the way ZS treated XQ = apprears coldly but caring a lot for his love

If anyone hasn't watched it, can watch PTIAF after ISWAK over, very good show indeed

Feb 5 2006 4 47 AM
It would be interesting to see who would act as YS in ISWAK 2. I thought the director said he wanted everyone from the original cast to be in ISWAK 2. If so, then they would probably keep the current child actor that plays YS. But if they wait too long to start filming it, then the kid would probably be too big by then? How old is the kid anyway?

anyway i got a quesiton.. u know the b-day gift that xq make for zs.. is zs ever gonna tell xq that he got the gift. also, after xq went back to the apartment and found out that the gift was gone, she didnt; do anything about it and didnt; tell zs that she make it for for him.. stuff like that
how come the gift part never get an explaination?
u think zs gonna tell xq in upcoming conversation they have together or after they get marry?
MinRicWanlover
Feb 5 2006 7 06 AM
fatcat think that Ariel thoiught thta the gift was taken by someone
she dis day that she had sometihng to give to Joe but she said she left it at his apartment .
Joe did reag the letter thta Ariel wrote for him and he knew it i think at the end Ariel will reveal the very first kiss of her to Joe and then Joe will talk about the kkiss in the hospital

come to think of it, mike does look a lil too old to play YS. im guessing YS will be about 18 for part 2 is it? maybe they will find a new actor who looks younger. search for new talent...

maybe they can get the guy that played as ah rang in the DBU...that guy seem younger...might be sutiable for the older ys.

I also have to say that I cried a lot during this eps, the scenes between XQ and ZS was especially sad. AHHHHHHH...............I still can't believe ZS and XQ is finally together. This is sooooo unreal although it is real.

See the family picture? all in le....xq father even cry...so touching...
episode 19 is so so sweet! at 1st, its kinda weird to see zs being frank about his feelings towards xq & seeing him showing his feelings through actions, like hugging xq, or leaning onto her when she went to look for him in the office. guess its bcos zs had always been so cool & aloof.. but in this episode, he's so diff! finally they are together!
