Summer's Desire - Episode 14 (Announcement)

I have searched high and low for the 14th and final episode of Summer's Desire. Unfortunately, it is not to be found anywhere.. Rumour has it that it is due to broadcast delay that SD is not out yet.

Frankly, I'm annoyed as I missed the live session due to work - when I tried to watch the live session (the last bit of it) the live link didn't work for me. :( So I anticipated its release tonight, however.. It has still not been released. Did anyone manage to watch it? - Was it the perfect happy ending we were expecting?

Click:

Anyways, due to work commitments tomorrow, I am forced to sign off for today.
I will try to get the last episode up as soon as possible.

For Zhong Wu Yan and Endless Love - please refer to the tudou and youtube links.

As a small "treat" or a way to kill time - I came across this promotion event in Beijing. It aired on Aug 25th and basically wanted to promote SD in mainland China. Unfortunately, there are no subs - and it's horrible quality. But if you still wanna give it a try:

Youku version
Tudou version

Sadly, Huang Xiao Ming didn't attend the event. I believe he was supposed to attend, but due to work, he had to cancel. (He does make a small VCD appearance).

Summer's Desire - BTS Wedding Scene

Even though we haven't watched the actual wedding scene the BTS is out :)

Comments: (Summary)
- The wedding in itself is romantic, but the filming process was hard..
- Peter Ho also being the producer hoped no one would NG (incl. himself) because the wedding venue was very expensive! xD
- Usually he doesn't think of that, but now that he's the one financing the drama it matters a bit more.
- Da S / Barbie said that she's probably the last one to get married among her friends and sisters(?) - her younger sister Dee Xu is already married with two kids..

Peter Ho - I Remember I Loved Before

I came across this video with Peter Ho singing his newest song live. :)
I believe it's an autograph session in TaiChung promoting his newest CD release. (It's available here).
The song might sound familiar to SD fans - as it's the "upbeat" or "fast" version of the drama's theme song.

Personally I think few people can actually pull off live singing. - Although Peter has room for improvement, I think he did a pretty decent job. :)

Summer's Desire - Peter Ho & SD "News"

I graduated today! - Freedom at last! :)
I can't wait to taste the sweet life without studying and reading for the next year. - Of course there will be other things to do like work etc.. But my first break ever since starting school as a 5 year old.. ;)

Onto SD:
I came across the news, it's basically a summarised version of the live show that aired after episode 4.

Rough translation of main points:

Newslady: The pressure is high on Peter Ho and his new drama, he says if the ratings are high, people will get a chance to see him and Huang Xiao Ming swim..

Voiceover: Sitting by the computer, typing, his hands are not free /are very occupied. Peter Ho (He Run Dong) is busy replying to the messages fans have written online.

Peter Ho: Very happy, got a chance to chat with fans about Summer's Desire and interact with everyone.

Peter Ho: If the ratings break 5, everyone can watch Huang Xiao Ming swim.
That's step 1, if we reach that, if we want Xiao Ye (Young Master) then we must reach 8. :)

Summary:

Peter Ho is so happy about progress of Summer's Desire that he can't sleep xD (Peter Ho is also the producer of the drama).
SD's ratings have increased by every episode that aired - also the number of people watching it through ppstream has increased.
Also, Barbie released a picture of Peter Ho where he's almost naked as a birthday present for her sister Dee Xu :)

PPstream is usually people watching from abroad. - So SD is definitely getting increasingly popular, I hope they continue to increase their ratings!

Summer's Desire - Official Facebook page

I forgot to post up the link of the SD's official facebook page.

So if you're a fan - go there and show them your support. They only have about 5000 members at the moment, but I'm confident that that number will rise if we just spread the word ;)

The admins of the FB page also occasionally post pictures, trailers and synopsis' - it's all in Chinese though.

PS: Peter Ho aka. He Run Dong aka. Ou Chen also has an official FB page - it's also in Chinese, but I believe Peter checks it occasionally and he speaks fluent English. - Peter Ho's Official Facebook page.

They're talking about the process of becoming an artist often starts with being an assistant to an artist.
GOD! An Hui Ni is so annoying! That voice and that attitude, someone slap her, PLEASE!

Comments: They're talking about how Da S (Barbie Xu's acting is getting better and better) :)
Da S personally doesn't want that kind of love to happen in her life though, because both guys' intensive love can sometimes led to dangerous situations and life-threatening situations.. o.O.. (If you think the show is dramatic already, it seems like they've got even more drama up their sleeve)..
The commenter calls Huang Xiao Ming and Peter Ho "da suave ge" - Translated as, "big/real hotties" XD


Direct Link
Comments: They say that Luo Xi and Xia Mo have more kisses ^_^
Peter Ho comments - that he doesn't know if he and Huang Xiao Ming will be able to compete with the "wow status" that big Korean stars have, but he believes the two characters Luo Xi and Ou Chen are worthy competitors :) (I like that Peter is humble and not full of himself.. )

So what team are you on? - Luo Xi or Ou Chen?

Summer's Desire - Introduction

Alright so this drama was requested, I didn't really know it was airing. I've been buried in books over the last two weeks, but I'll post and embed it along with the other shows.

I remember having read that it was a little similar to Autumn's Concerto, with the plot involving lovers and amnesia. But then again lots of shows have that plotline these days, I guess I'll check it out once all these exams are over.
