[Oo~bbt_addict~oO]

yay another drama with joe! =) and hey i recognize that girl from Tokyo Juliet. she was annoying in it lol... by the way can someone translate the article please? my mandarin is very limited =\

[KeifuIsLove]

JOE CHENG!! I love him so much. The girl though I think is pretty but annoying because she can't act. Can anyone translate the article? Anybody know the English name of the series or the pinyin? And what's the plot? Sorry for lots of questions.

[amyumi]

thanks for creating this thread! i was waiting forever to see it here...i am just so excited for joe's new drama! i absolutely LOVED him in ISWAK, and it's so awesome seeing him playing another character int this series...

even though i don't really like the main girl (maybe just because i didn't like her character in tokyo juliet or something...) i think that this might still be a really good series! the storyline seems pretty good...and joe is acting as a model! so totally right for him!

i heard that this might be able to air by the end of this year...? i hope so ^^

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! PLEASE PLEASE TRANSLATE it--I WANNA KNOW what it's ABOUT!! x)

Anyways, OMGOSH! I can't IMAGINE that GIRL from TJ to be JOE!! >____________________< I totally like JA better! hehe, anyways, I'm tooo EXICITED taht JOE is doing a NEW series---GOSH, is this WHY he's delaying ISWAK 2??? If this is part of the reason, then I'm really angry! I WANNA SEE ISWAK 2!!! Anyways, getting back on topic. Gosh, for NOW ON, whenever Ariel or Joe works with any other person besides with each other, I'm going start comparing the "new" couple to JA! Gosh, I want JA to make another series with each other (besides ISWAK 2). Oh well, I guess I still have to accept this new couple!! xD Anyways, I'm dying to find out what this series is about!! ^____^

[daydreamsindecember]

It's a little difficult for me to translate,
but I think Joe's character Lei is yet another hot, cool meanie part time model. LOL
It was love at first sight for the female lead.
Seems like a mix of Kui (The Rose) and ZS (ISWAK) to me haha.

He has ZERO chemistry w/ this girl.

hmm it isnt really fair for u to say this now u know. we havent even watch an episode of this so how to conclude they don't have chemistry at all? and i agree with samtly. everyone can have their fav onscreen couples but its also good to experiment around with different partners. it would be so boring to always see the same pairings no matter how much i like them actors and actresses. a good example is Megan Lai with Zai Zai. she was in every drama of his except Meteor Garden and quite a lot of people are sick of seeing them together in the same drama.

[aggiesbaby]

Exactly...it's extremely unfair to judge a newbie actor/actress's chemistry with a popular one if you have yet to actually see it yourself. I'm going to give the gal a chance and make my own conclusion. Although, she has been in other idol dramas as supporting and there's definitely potential. Other than that, I'm more looking forward to seeing Calvin of Fahrenheit than anyone else =P.

Is there any more info about the series? If someone posts a link or something I can check it out and tell everyone when it'll air and stuff.

[::SWEET-chan::]

The pinyin title is "Re Qing Zhong Xia", direct translation for that would be "A Warm Midsummer" ^^
According to a Joe's fansite, this drama is based on a popular Japanese manga..Joe will be acting as a super model..

This is the manga, quite old I think..in the picture, the manga is called "Kuai le luo mi ou" = Happy/Cheerful Romeo.





Pictures!!

[j_halo7]

Joe looks so shuai here! i love this hairstyle the most. looks like its gonna be a more exagerated drama with good comic timing.

[j_halo7]

^ well looking goofy doesnt mean she cant act. she looks like she can act funnier roles cuz she looks goofy right? and looking at the pics above, i think this drama is gonna be a tad exagerated and funny. if my guess is right, her look would fit right in.

[AlecnVicky]

One thing for sure, I hope BOTH Joe and Ariel can finnish watever project they're wokring on, ON time so that ISWAK2 won't be delayed hehe.

I noticed that there's been a trend w/ taiwanese dramas being made based off of jap. mangas. ehehe and the ones I've seen, I've enjoyed them all! so I'll be looking forward to seeing this one as well!

JOE............... *sigh* hehe that hair style reminds me of Zhi Shu! and how ironic is it that he's playing a super model role ey? when in real life he IS a model?!! :lol?:

[::SWEET-chan::]

Calvin Chen won't be in this drama any more, replacing him for the second lead role is Ruan Jing Tian..^^

I don't know the names yet so I'll just write their real names, but here's what I read about the plot...

Cai Yi Qin is classmate and best friend with Joe's sister. Joe is one year younger than his sister. When Cai Yi Qin saw Joe for the first time, she fell in love with him. Joe is a super model who has a difficult personality; he doesn't care about other's opinions. He’s allergic to heat and kisses people when he's drunk. Joe has a lot of fans but he doesn't care less about them. Ruan Jing Tian likes Cai Yi Qin, so he decides to send a love letter to her...

Umm...and something about Joe making Cai Yi Qin to be his manager otherwise he won't continue modelling.

More pictures of Joe..

Thanks SWEET-chan for the brief summary!

The love at first sight thing sounds similiar to ISWAK, but a lot of dramas these days uses that anyways.
Sounds like an interesting drama to watch and Joe looks so good in those pictures.

[j_halo7]

woot woot!! Ruan Jing Tian is gonna be in this drama!!!!! i hope he fulfills my expectations of him. cant wait to watch this even more now.

[drama_addict]

Ruan Jing Tian is hot!! he is in green forest my home.. not the old guy.. but the violin player..

wow... this main character is going to have 2 HOT guys after her..
some girls are just so lucky..

anyone have any ideas when they want to air this drama?

i read the manga a few years ago, it's about the girl, she fall in love with her friend's little brother, his name is if i'm not mistaken is rui. But rui is sooo handsome, a model, rich, but he have bad attitude. Kinda similar with it started with the kiss, at last, rui fell for her too.

[♥ endlessky]

THIS GIRL IS TOOOOOO DARN LUCKY!!! ><; Now this is a SERIES that I CANNOT miss! >______________________< TWO extremely CUTE guys in the same series?? haha, I'm def. a HUGE fan of Joe & Ethan! But don't tell me Ethan is AGAIN the 3rd wheel?? -sighs- Actually, that's good because I don't want that girl to be with him anyways... and Joe tooo!!

[aggiesbaby]

Although I am sad to hear that Calvin won't be in this, Ethan is definitely a good replacement =). I've become a fan of his since GFMY =p.

[piperly]

i love to see Ethan and Joe in the show!! Both guys are equally good-looking
but the female lead don't know her much..so she acted in TJ? Maybe its becos I have not watched Tokyo Juliet yet so I'm not familiar with the girl.
Will look forward to this show!!

[tingy]

wow...cant wait for this show to be out!....both joe and ethan gonna be in the show...so good to have 2 good friends acting together...

any idea when they will finish filming it?..

[AlecnVicky]

wee-heeeee!!!! BOTH Joe and Ethan is going to be in this show? That's wonderful in itself! Although I just hope that Ethan won't have to play the "third party" again. hehe hope he can actually be loved rather than love on-sided, and get the girl he deserves. (is that askign for too much? lol)

Since Joe and Ehtan are kool buddies out in real life, can't wait to see them together on screen la. Call me greedy, since they've got both joe and ethan, hehe they might as well have gotten Mike-He too! muahaha.

so the leading male casts seems great so far, I just hope the storyline is going to be just as great---afterall, it's from a jap manga, and all the recent manga-made-into-film shows have been lovely! ahhh. can't wait.

aiyo, just went back to read the brief summary. so ethan IS gonna be the third party again. *sigh* poor baby. the guy's so hot and got such an awsome personality (IMO he deserves to star in his OWN drama and just get to play the cold-hearted-ignore-all-i-wouldn't-give-a-darn character and have girls chasing after him hehe).
As for Joe, he sounds so much like another Zhi Shu.....speaking of Zhi Shu *sigh in blissful heaven* lmaol.

hehe, I totally AGREE with you!! I really really WANT Ethan NOT to be the third party again, but -sighs- he has to be! xD But then again, i don't want ANY of THEM to be with this girl!! >_______<; It's just tooo wierd because I still can't get it over the face that Joe belongs to Ariel and ARIEL only!! So I can't imagine Joe with this new girl...hehe She's not too great of an actress, but I hope she proves me wrong! ^^

Yeah, the character Joe is playing really reminds me of ZS... haha, I think I'm going to be starting to compare this series with ISWAK!! I just hope it wouldn't be too similar: where the guy is super cold and the girl is super dumb and whatnot.

Oh well, I can't wiat to see this series!! (even if poor Ethan is playing the 3rd wheel and ARIEL isn't in it! T___T) ^___^

[dreamstar]

a WHAT??? Ethan is in this.. OMG OMG XD i love him!!!!

the girl doesnt look too pretty =X anyone that watched TJ, is she better looking in moving pics? oh well I guess I shold give this a go when its out.. since both joe n ethan is here..

i hope Ethan get a girl in the end, such a gorgeous guy like him shouldnt end up alone as a third wheel =.=

[charlene_choi2]

my god...i really dislike this girl lead...i hate her in KO One and in Tokyo Juliet, dont tell me she really will be the girl lead...hope she only got a little character cuz she really definitely ruin this drama -.- she is so unnatural while acting...i hate her

[miori]

errm..the female lead looks funny...not compatible with joe cheng or Ethan Ruan jing tian...any more info about the show? care to share?

[Girl from Mars]

I can't wait to watch a Joe's new work, but it will probably feel strange since I'm so used to see him with Ariel.. this serie should come out before or after ISWAK2?

[xenian]

another drama from joe!!thats great!!working together with ethan!!thats fantastic!!im looking forward for this drama..love u guys!!

[smilanny]

i've been waiting for Ethan Ruan to start in a new drama! (well he plays a supporting character in Hana Kimi) it will be interesting to see the two good friends and cuties Joe-Ethan in it.

hope Calvin will have a chance to star in another drama soon =)

[Valley]

Looking forward to this drama... hope it is a good one.. especially with Joe and Ethan, what great male leads they have!!

[j_halo7]

^ she acted supporting roles in the dramas KO One and Tokyo Juliet. in TJ, she was Pei Mei Zi.

[~*momo*~]

wow! can't wait for this series!!

but i'm worried about that girl what's her name again? being the lead actress... she didn't act very well in tokyo juliet. can she actually possibly be able to be the lead actress well? i mean, she looked a bit too exagerated and stiff in tokyo juliet...

but oh well, still very excited to see joe in a new drama after ISWAK

[reflections]

yay another comedy (or so it seems...cai yi qin is so hilarious it has to be!)

really liked her in TJ glad to see her get a starring role and its good to see joe in a new show too

i'm glad there are new and 'fresher' pairings

[.Lolly-Pop*]

No doubt, when I first read about the plot; it does reminds me of ISWAK but many manga also had the similar ideas ^^
Anyway,I think it's a refreshing idea to have Joe being paired up with Cai Yi Qin in this series ^^.
I actually liked her as Pei Mei Zi in Tokyo Juilet; I was laughing loudly when I heard her laughters in the series; very natural and not acting cute :DD
Yess, we all know that she's a newbie and her acting aren't that good!
But she's a newbie, there's hardly any newbie who can acts that good as a artiste who has been acting for more than 5 years She isn't that pretty as other actress, but she's cute and has a cheerful presonality- which is the most important in this series as the female lead: Xia Ya also has the similar personality as Yi Qin ^^.

In order not to let disappoint the filming crew, Xiao Zong, herself and most importantly, the audience, Cai Yi Qin has been attending lessons where she can improve her acting skills, her facial expression. Depsite there are many rumors about how she can't act, Xiao Zong clarified that Yi Qin is a smart newbie, she understands what the Director wants and is good friends with the filming crew! Even the other artistes in this series like Zhang Shu Chen also commented that they has a good friendship offscreens; they likes to joke around and tease each other!
Brief translation from Play Magazine Oct Issue by love*knots

So come one, lets trust what Xiao Zong had said about Cai Yi Qin; and it's planned that they'll finish filming the series by Novemember, so it'll probably be airing in 2007

PICS:



->XiaoZong forcingly kissing Yi Qin

More will be post once the gallery is created ^^
Also, Cai Yi Qin had her long hair cut to a really shory hair which I think looks more cute on her and it's good to be able to see Ethan and XiaoZong collaberating onscreens, it'll be even better if Mike were to be in this series but I'm still so happy and delighted to be able to see XiaoZong and Ethan together on a new series after so many months of waiting!!! ^^

o.O short hair for the girl? i don't really like the waves part. prefer a short pixish kind of cut cuz the waves make her look old.
