To tell the truth, i was a teeny weeny bit sick of everything. The wait for ep 19 was dreadfully long..but it was ALL WORTHWHILE!

. Episode 19 reminded me of everything i loved about ISWAK...kinda feel like listing all the things that make this my fav TW serial (and i have watched many of them!)
1) Well, the OST. Great songs sang well by great singers. The fast songs were cute and sweet, the slow songs filled with emotion.
2) The plot: Tells us how love can change a person. Tells us how much people can do for love and sacrifice. Tells us that we have to work hard for our happiness, it might not guarantee success but at least we tried. Tells us about friendship and kinship.
3) The pace of the plot: Many feel that some parts of the series was slow.I personally beg to differ. The slow parts added emotion and helped us get to know and hencefore feel more for the characters. Most of the drama moved along at a great pace with wonderful comic timing. I love how the director can make me nearly cry one moment (for instance Uncle Cai crying when zs asked to marry xq) and in the very next moment, make me laugh heartily (when zs's mum rushed upstairs to take the videocam

)
4) How close it was to the original manga. That is very much appreciated by a manga fan.
And last but nt least, the very lovable characters and the wonderful chemistry and acting!!!!
XQ: she appears so dumb, so ordinary..but u cant help liking her and admiring her. Ariel really did a good job and she is actually very pretty!
ZS: One word: HOT. Joe brought the character to life and was totally believable as the guy all girls would swoon after
The parents: All cute, funny, wanting the best for their children.
Xiao Ke Ai: hahahah it's so Big,, fluffy and adorable!!!!!!
YS: his r/s with xq is sooo sweet and he is a great child actor
ZY/Jason: comic relief and they are likable, just can't hate them. ZY is very pretty too!
ZY's sister and WR: cute
Ah Jin: My third favourite character after xq and zs. His love for xq was sooo..touching and he is a really talented actor considering it is his first time. When he cried because xq rejected him..i was like awwww...
XQ's two best friends: comic relief and they were the ones who always told zs about xq.
Ah Jin's friends: haha..dumb and cute...
Is there any one i missed out???????

Are there other reasons y we shd love iswak???
BUT not to say it is a perfect drama..
Grouse 1: I didnt like the delay of ep19..lose momentum
Grouse 2: HuiLan- she is...i dunno..not likable? I guess it is acting..still very stiff.
I can't wait for iswak 2!!!!!!Meanwhile, i will occupy myself with kim sam soon (which is nice too) and wait for ep 20! Just a big THK U to those who have been posting direct uploads=) Wun post them anywhere else, just personal viewing..
Oh and i have to say the part in the office was soo sweet...again only xq makes zs relax=)=)
