Four Gifts - Preview (Batch)

My youtube subscription list was full of Four Gifts previews, so here comes a batch of them :)
Nicholas Teo actually looks quite interesting, I could never figure out if he was good looking or just average. His voice is rather unique, but his face is growing on me too xD

Anyways, back to the previews - I don't watch the show, so I don't know if they're all based on the upcoming episode..

Is Endless Love really that bad?:

Since their ratings are so low every week?
I heard it was sort of silly with break-up and hook-up all the time, can anyone confirm or deny?

卷拾

齊宣把迎春準備好的禮服送給無艷，無艷別上齊宣送她的髮夾，以為自己多年來的心願就要實現，沒想到抵達皇朝開幕酒會，竟發現迎春故意設計自己和她撞衫，目的就是要讓她的胎記暴露在記者的鎂光燈下。

ep 10

CX gives WY the dress that YC prepared for WY. WY wears the hairclip which CX gave her, thinking that the wish which she had for so many years will finally come true, however unexpectedly, when she reaches Wang Chao's opening cermony, she realizes that YC purposely made it so WY and YC are wearing the saeme dress. Her (YC's) plan is to make it so that WY's birthmark stands out and attracts the attention of the press.

無艷發現原來自己的髮夾並不是獨一無二，心裡難過。為了保護無艷，齊宣主動向媒體承認自己和迎春的婚訊，此舉如同在無艷的傷口上再踩一腳。

WY is upset after she finds out that her hairclip is not the "one and only" one which CX gave. To protect WY, CX takes the initive and goes and confirms the rumor about him and YC getting married, this is like stepping on WY's wound making it worse.

酒會上，霍華揭穿自己真正的身分，即皇朝的總裁秦楚。

At the opening cermony, Howard reveals his true idenity as the Wang Chao company's CHing Choo.

霍華為了破壞迎春的詭計，將無艷臉上的胎記彩繪成美麗的蝴蝶。齊宣看見無艷挽著霍華的手，越來越清楚自己一直在尋求的答案，就是無艷……

To ruin YC's plan, Howard changes WY's birthmark into a beautiful butterfly. CX sees WY's arm linked to Howard's arm, and it becomes clearer and clearer that the answer that he has been looking for all along is WY.....

Zhong Wu Yan - Episode 9 (Episode Synopsis)

Thanks to an anonymous translator:

卷玖

記者故意渲染齊宣跟迎春傳出婚訊的消息，齊宣開始在意無艷的心情，不希望她看見這個報導，又故意假裝手指還沒好，只為了博取她多一點關心，只是，兩人中間，始終擋著一個迎春。

ep 9:
The news reporters purposely spread that YC and CX are going to get married, CX begins to care about the feeling of WY and hopes she doesn't see the report (that he's getting married) and pretends that his finger isn't better, just for a little more of her concern for him. The only thing is there is always a "YC" beween the two of them.

而無艷，也始終不敢對齊宣有任何期待，明明他已經有女友了，卻忍不住一直想著兩人相處時的曖昧。人說愛在曖昧不明時最美，但這曖昧卻困擾著無艷和齊宣。

WY does not have any hopes towards CX, but althoguh he already has a girlfriend, she can't help herself and continues to think of the "feeling/ chemistry" they have when they are togerher. People say that when love is ambiguous it is the best time, however this ambiguousity is what is bothering CX adn WY.

另一方面，皇朝集團的開幕儀式在即，無艷提的活動構想得到秦楚方面的認同，迎春自願幫齊宣準備無艷的禮服，眾人興高采烈地期待皇朝開幕活動的來臨，卻沒想到，這正是一場愛情風暴的開始……

ON the other hand, the Wang Chao company's opening ceromony is close, the idea that WY gave got Ching Chu's approval, YC is helping CX prepare WY's dress,everyone is excitedly looking fwd to Wang Chao's opeing cermony, but they did not expect that this is the beginning of a love storm......

Introduction - Four Gifts (Nu Wang Bu Xia Ban)

CTV has had a break from idol dramas since Scent of Love ended.. They've prepared a new drama airing Sunday next week.

I haven't really seen much of Nicholas Teo - but at least I know who he is, that's more than what I can say about the rest of the cast.. But Nicholas' voice is so.. I can't even describe it. It's rather unique I'd say. Somewhat feminine and yet not.. If that makes sense..?



Official title: 女王不下班 / Nu Wang Bu Xia Ban - Literally translated as Queen Not Getting Off Work in English.
Official English title: Four Gifts.
Genre: Romance
Broadcast network: CTV
Air date: 19 September 2010 - unknown
Air time: Sundays from 22:00 - 23:30

Cast:

Nicholas Teo as Ren Xiao Ting
Xiu Jie Kai as Tong Jia Liang
Lee Kang Yi as Zhang Ruo Tian
Wang Xin Ru as Zhang Ruo Wei
Lu Jia Xin as Zhang Ruo Yi
Suki Low as Zhang Ruo Yu

Synopsis:
Dedicated queens fight hard in the workplace, but how do they find a tough enough man worthy of being their other half?

Thanks to an anonymous reader!

Original synopsis from Zhong Wu Yan's official blog.

卷柒

在霍華幫助下，無艷順利完成裸背的拍攝，心慌意亂之下，無艷跟著霍華回到了山水鄉的住處，一晚的相處，霍華得知無艷對齊宣的感情原來打從小時候就深深埋下。

ep 7

With Howard's help, WY successfully finished the "nude back" filming. With her feelings a mess, she goes with Howard back to her hometown. After staying with her for one night, Howard learns that the feelings that WY has for CX was "imprinted" to WY a long time ago.

霍華回想起過去，無艷也是那個曾經支持了自己很長一段時間的人，只是他尚未察覺，對無艷的感覺早已萌芽。

Howard thinks back and realizes that WY was the person who supported him and kept him going for a while. But he has not realized the feelings that he has for WY that has also "sprouted" for a while now.

隨著無瑕粉底大賣，齊宣終於正式當上齊氏的總經理，他牽掛著無艷，滿懷感謝，在她額上輕輕一吻……「鍾無艷！妳一點都不醜！」無艷的胎記在齊宣眼中，成為獨一無二的印記！

Wu Xia Fun Di (the make up which CX and WY did thier project for) is very popular, CX officially becomes the CEO of the Chi company. He thinks of WY with a lot of appreciation and kisses her foreheard lightly..... "ZWY! You're not ugly at all! " In CX's eyes WY's birthmark becomes an "irreplaceable mark".

齊宣才剛上任，齊氏無瑕粉底生產線卻出了問題，這個危機，將無艷、齊宣、迎春和霍華牽扯在一起，這四人之間又會發生什麼微妙變化？

CX just becomes CEO but problems arise in the production section for the company's new product Wu Xia Fun Di, this obstacle will tie WY, CX, Howard and YC together, what changes will occur between these 4 people?

Announcement - Updates (incl. AC recaps)

Alright, so attentive viewers might have noticed a slight lack of updates..?

I've been kinda busy lately, so for now I'm dosing off the updates.. I won't stop updating, they just might be slightly delayed or less frequent. I'll try to maintain the Sunday updates, although they might also be a little late sometimes.

More:

I'm busy with two jobs and a lot of other personal things at the moment.. And well, I don't really have a drama that I'm dying to watch at the moment. - Not like when Autumn's Concerto or Summer's Desire was airing. So without that, it's easy to prioritise the blog and updates a little lower, than if there was something I was dying to watch.

For some of the readers who go back to my Autumn's Concerto craze - I only made it to episode 4 with my recaps, and I have every intention of finishing them, it just won't be right now. Perhaps when some other things have been settled, I'll continue writing my very extensive recaps.

But don't worry, my addictiveness for TV dramas is still very much alive, so I won't abandon the blog entirely. :)
It will just be left a little less active than usual.
