Why oh Why is the title of this drama called Why Why Love?
After watching this drama in full, I am still asking "Why".
It's a pretty simple, feel-good kinda drama which would be a hit amongst teenagers. My 11-year old daughter said that it's funny and nice, and that the hero (Huo Da- Mike He) is handsome, and the girl (Jia Di - played by Rainie Yang) is pretty. Hmm...
The Gist:
Again hardworking poor girl, Tong Jia Di, who's born to a poor, terribly complicated family with a useless younger brother, and an equally useless uncle. It's funny how they all seem to think that Jia Di could get money for the family WHENEVER they need it.
Huo Yan, the elder son of a rich family, manager of the shoppng center chain, is the suave, quiet chocolate brownie, entangled ina love triangle with his younger brother, the rebellious Huo Da - cute, cheesecake, in search for the ONE who will fill in the void in his heart.
Which one would Jia Di fall for? Which one would tug at Jia Di's pure heart?
Much in the tradition of Korean dramas, this drama is well paced, well directed, and their acting's not too bad either. I can't believe how much Rainie Yang has grown since I saw her in Meteor Garden.
The last 3 episodes got me crying so hard at 3.30 am that I had a hard time opening my eyes the next morning. I have not had such a good cry in a loooong time.
Anyway, this drama gets a 4 pop corns for me. The 3 lead actress & actors are very watchable.
