Sunny Happiness - All episodes w. subs

I'm not sure I should be doing this, then again.. A quick search and you can find it yourself...

The Chinese version of Sunny Happiness - slightly different, more conservative.. You know the drill. But a few of you have been asking for it. I'm assuming us English-speaking people won't be able to do much of a difference for the Taiwanese ratings anyway...

I previously posted an English version of the TW version. The subber has sadly, decided not to sub anymore. S/he referred to these links on viki.

There is another group who might sub the TW version, but until then, please refer to the links on Viki.

Sunny Happiness Episode 1-25 w. Eng subs

I won't embed them since that would be some 100 videos for the 25 episodes, but do tell me what you think :)

Translation:

SJX: Letting you see a free stud show is your gain, but I lost big time!
LXR: It's not interesting to watch at all, alright? I even have to pay money to the temple lady* (not sure) to calm down; worse still I have to go to the opthamologist!

SJX: Ethan Ruan was Fated to Love You, but I, Song Jie Xiu, am Fated to Utter Misfortune!

TAW: What are you guys doing?!

TAW: Isn't Jie Xiu a bit overly concerned for her?

MJ: I'm sorry that I have to do this kind of thing to you upon the first time we meet.
Peggy: Hey, open the door!
MJ: Ms Peggy, don't panic! If you panic, I'll panic along with you! (*same word is used for the urge to go to the loo...)

LXR: Did you see that? Even you know Yi Xiang doesn't eat seafood; yet Peggy's feeding him prawns!

RYX: So what? Can we only be together if she knows me as well as you do?

Peggy: If she won't give up like she says, can you be sure that you will not waver?
RYX: Isn't this kind of guarantee enough?!

SJX: Now all Ren Yi Xiang has to do is to sneeze and he can blow you anywhere. An amoeba that is without dignity and is merely shaped by others like you is the lowest form of life in love.

LXR: Even if I die, I'll go to a scenic place and not die at your house!
SJX: Lin Xiao Ru!

Song of the Day - Raymond Lam ft Charlene & Hurts

Actually make that two songs :)
I thought I'd share two songs in different languages to get some variation.

PS: Cerulean, if you're still reading - they might be interesting for you ;)
I finally replied to the comment you left ages ago.. Sorry for the massive delay.

The songs:

Song # 1:
Have Always Been Here by Raymond Lam & Charlene Choi.

Download it here

A nice duet, IMO. The MV is a little odd, but I quite like the song. Been listening to it for months now. I'm still amazed by the fact that I haven't grown tired of it yet.

Song # 2:
Stay by Hurts

Download it here

I'm still secretly laughing at the band's name "Hurts". At first I thought that was the song's title, but no.. The band is called "Hurts". Nice song my sister heard on Vampire Diaries and passed onto me. :)

What do you think? - And what are you listening to?

Excuse any mistakes, my mandarin is really poor..

Si Han: Pursuing your own love isn't pathetic.
Yun Jie: Our story from 8 years ago, let it remain a memory.
Our relationship is...a thing of the past.
Yun Chao: You have hurt/neglected Yong Yong. You went off to see your ex.
Yun Jie: You do not need to care about what is going on between me and Yong Yong.
2nd sister: Xian Yun Jie going off to see Wan Lan, don't you feel anything at all?
Yong Yong: To him I'm just an accident, the baby inside my stomach/womb is an accident upon accident.
Yun Chao: Let me tell you, Yong Yong may be able to accept it, but I just can't.
Yun Chao: What is the progress?
Employee: No problem, everything is progressing after the plan.
Xin Jie: I am on behalf of the investors vetoing the entire project.
Yun Jie: Dad, mom, (older) sister, 2nd sister, rest assured, from today and on, leave Yong Yong and the baby to me. I will do my best to love them.
2nd sister: He just wants to be a father, he doesn't actually want to marry you, what if you accidentally fall in love with him in the future? Then won't you be a miserable wife (?)
Yong Yong: I won't, and I can't, fall in love with him.

Man... Yun Chao looks dashing in a suit :)
I love how he stands up for Yong Yong.

At least Yun Jie made himself clear towards Wan Lan..

Did anyone notice that Yong Yong says the exact same thing to her 2nd sister as Yun Jie said in the beginning.. "I won't, and I can't, fall in love with him.." Oh.. Yong Yong, good luck convincing yourself..

Recommend a TV-show

So I raced through Sunny Happiness because I was pleasantly surprised by it. The quality of the acting was great, plot-wise not original, but it was wonderfully executed. It wasn't the usual silly, light-hearted drama, it had its comic moments along with serious and well written storylines. Overall, definitely one of the better TW ones :)

But because of the drama's high quality, I finished it already.. Yes, I cheated on the Taiwanese version with the Chinese version, but it's not like my viewing makes a difference on the ratings.. I'll still watch the TW version every Sunday because I know they cut the two versions differently.

Anyway, onto my actual point.. Since I have nothing to watch... Please recommend me a new drama or movie :)

Click:

- I'm a big fan of tearjerkers.
I loved One Litre of Tears and Stairway to Heaven.

- I love drama, preferably lots of it, but only if it's realistic..
I loved Summer's Desire and Autumn's Concerto.

- I don't have enough patience for loooong dramas.
It has to be real catchy if it's beyond 25 episodes..

- I don't like the traditional TW dramas..
By that I mean something along the lines of.. Ahem.. Love Buffet ahem... (No offence), but life's too short for bad acting and bad plots.

I don't mind it being Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese or American :)

Not to seem cold or mean or anything, but I'm surprised she hasn't realised she was pregnant, or that nothing has happened to the fetus. She had minor falls several times already..

Official Ratings - TW

After having caught up with Sunny Happiness, I'm surprised their ratings are so low, it's one of the better dramas I've seen over the last many months. But then again, when all the episodes are all over the internet, the ratings are bound to suffer..

Looks like Rainie's fanbase tuned in last night.. Let's see how long it lasts, I haven't really checked it out yet, so can't judge the quality. For those of you who have, what do you think?

Continued:

It's just that I have no idea who the male lead is.. In fact, he looks kinda flat and uninteresting if you ask me.. But hey, I should at least give him a chance to prove me wrong..?

Sunny Happiness - Episode 10

I'm finally up-to-speed with this drama. So far, I'd say the beginning is rather slow-paced and kinda boring. But I took a peek at the upcoming episodes (yes, through the other Chinese version), and although it's filled with clichés and endless twists and turns, it's not so bad :)

Although, I found myself falling for Li Yi Feng aka. Yun Chao. I'm kinda torn between the brothers, I think Yun Chao & Yong Yong are uber cute. But I can tell Yong Yong only sees him as a friend, whereas she totally has the hots for Yun Jie..

On a sidenote, does anyone else think Li Yi Feng looks a bit like a mixture of Jimmy Lin and Arron Yan? He's like hot.. :) Those dimples....

I approve of the ending! :) I was so afraid she'd go back to her husband.
I mean, I really like James & Sonia as a couple, they usually have so much chemistry, but he was just so mean towards her! I couldn't get past it, and I'm glad Sonia moved on as well. I'm glad her relationship with Chris wasn't rushed in the end, it gave them a fresh start, so they can slowly build up.

I think I know where this is going.. I'm not sure I could forgive. I'm still thinking of that scene at the hospital, where he brutally forced her to sign the divorce papers.

Who would you choose?
James it probably best for the daughter, while I'd say Chris is better for Sonia.
