My thoughts:

Even though some people thought the episode was a bit boring, (I disagree), the ratings increased anyway!
I think we should thank Xiao Xiao Bin for being so adorably cute :D

I hope the ratings will increase further as the series goes on, VanNess, Ady and Xiao Xiao Bin - Jia You!

Autumn's Concerto Episode 7 (w.o. English subs)

I've been to work today, so didn't have time to update along with the airing of the drama.
Episode 7 was good though, I know some people find it a little draggy and they don't like this episode as much as the rest because there's no MuCheng and GuangXi scenes. Although, personally I find that "these" episodes are necessary. As much as I miss the MuCheng and GuangXi interaction it was necessary to see everything that happened during those 6 years.
A major plus though- Xiao Xiao Bin Aka. Liang XiaoLe is über cute! I seriously love the little guy :D On a side note, I'm not very fond of the "new" GuangXi, but I do love TuoYe though :)

One thing I hate though, is that SETTV show previews of something we won't see till next episode. I hate how they show too much and pretty much spoils it all. I don't mind a little spoiler, but I mind too much spoiler that comes too early.

Great, I got that out, now to the episode, click "read more".

Autumn's Concerto Episode 7 (Preview+Synopsis) English Subs

Subbed versions of the previews has been released.
Finally I understand what TuoYe's mother is saying.. :)

Synopsis, thanks to Verona@AF for posting and translation by: Whalesg@VIFC

“If a human’s memory can only choose a second to remember, I hope will be this moment”

That is a part of the message that Guangxi had left for Mucheng but that stab from her stepfather, changed everything, Guangxi is rushed back to the hospital, battling for his life, and Mucheng is being led by Tuoye to ‘Hua Tian Village’, having uncertainty of her future, starting afresh…
Time flies, 6 years had passed…
At the ice ring, a sharp figure moving around swiftly, the eyes reflected a steady soul, Guangxi is not Guangxi anymore, he had new start, he is not a successful lawyer, in his life, there is no existence of a person named Mucheng…
There is only YiQian, like a warm angel accompanying him, from Guangxi learning how to speak again to tying his own shoe lace, she had been by his side always, she is Guangxi’s light of hope and the person he loved most…
As for Mucheng at “Hua Tian Village”, she had a new identity –
A single mom, at her side is a adorable small boy named XiaoLe! XiaoLe is Mucheng’s purpose of life, and the reason to be excited about! The mother and son had been living a quiet and peaceful life in the village, of course, there is Tuoye who is still secretly in love with Mucheng…
Tuoye is also a big ‘tree’, protecting Mucheng from the gossips in the village, he is also the ‘earthling father’ who is always there to console XiaoLe whenever he is calling for his ‘alien dad’ to come to fetch him (but never appear)
Guangxi and Mucheng, they are like 2 parallel lines that will never crossed each other’s path. But a sexual harassment case and a case link to a land sale at the village, will be the factor to their future, will they meet again? Will the soon to be changes in their lives, affect the fate of these 4 people? Will the next stop be leading to ‘Happiness’?

Autumn's Concerto - Episode 2 [Recap]

MSG: Please do drop a comment on the recaps or the upload of songs, I just want to know if anyone are reading or downloading it. Thanks!

Recap for episode 2. I think I'll be behind for a bit with the recaps, since I started doing it so late. But once I catch up, I hope to do recaps before the airing of the next episode. We'll see how that goes.

Summary for episode 2:
We hear about Sheng De University's financial trouble
We meet He YiQian, rich daughter of Director He.
We see GuangXi's conscience appear.
We hear about GuangXi's past, the loss of his father as an 8 year old boy.
YiQian and GuangXi agree to go out.
MuCheng is kidnapped by Zhang Ai Li
GuangXi and TuoYe saves MuCheng.

New people we meet:
He YiQian - daughter of Director He


The 2nd episode begins with a conversation between Hua Tuo Ye and MuCheng. It's VERY obvious that he cares about her a LOT!
Later we learn that Sheng De University is in a financial crisis. They seem to be owing money to Director He from a company named Huan Ye. President Fang (GuangXi's mother) is quite desperate to come up with a solution. Director He suggest that President Fang mortgage Sheng De Tang (an abandoned assembly hall at Sheng De University) so Huan Ye company can tear it down and use the land for a new project. Apparently President Fang has bad memories of the assembly hall - it seems that GuangXi's father did something at the place.. Problem is GuangXi is very attached to the place, because there's a piano where he used to play with his artistic father.


We then meet He YiQian. - Rich daughter of Director He of course. (I knew some rich girl would come in..!) But sadly, I can't hate this one, she's polite, beautiful, smart, and very helpful even. YiQian sneaks her way into the hockey rink while GuangXi is playing with his team, he then tells her that the rink is a dangerous place and she shouldn't just come in whenever she likes. YiQian however, also seems to have a flair for hockey and manages to score a goal, although much to GuangXi's disapproval cause he doesn't like strangers on the ice rink. YiQian gets of the rink since GuangXi is in other words, asking her to get out since she's not a student at the school.
She meets her dad and he asks her what she thinks of the school - apparently YiQian is checking it out and is considering transferring to Sheng De... GuangXi's lack of manners has apparently managed to leave a deep impression on her.

After hockey GuangXi's mother approaches GuangXi and tells him the girl he just met was the daughter of Director He. Funny thing is, GuangXi immediately replies "I'm not interested" - as if he already knows what she is planning to say. GuangXi's mother threatens to tear down Sheng De Tang and GuangXi is not the least surprised, he obviously believes his mother drove his father to death, so he thinks she must feel guilty when seeing Sheng De Tang. If GuangXi doesn't want to lose Sheng De Tang he has make sure He YiQian "successfully transfer to Sheng De University", she's obviously implying GuangXi making sure she's happy. - In other words, President Fang is practically telling her son to be a gigolo to solve the school's financial crisis, some mother she is! No wonder GuangXi calls her the "Old Hag". A cold "Old Hag" just replies that if he does well, they'll get to keep Sheng De Tang. - Is the woman completely freed from human emotions?

TuoYe walks MuCheng home where he is being scolded by Xiao Ah Yi for having hit GuangXi. Xiao Ah Yi calls addresses TuoYe by his nickname, the "Gardener" because his family manages a flower village (as far as I understood it, and besides he's good with flowers, which is kinda cute..) Anyways, she obviously disapproves of him, she cares more about Ren GuangXi because he's the son of President Fang. Seems like Xiao Ah Yi and President Fang have a lot in common, they both like to sell their children for money. Tsk.. Both are totally shameless. However, none of them are as disgusting as Uncle Cai (or depending on how you look at it, perhaps they are just as disgusting?), when he hears that MuCheng and GuangXi definitely didn't hit it off well, he laughs. He of course has a filthy mind and wants to keep MuCheng for himself. - Disgusting pervert!

Xiao Ah Yi wants MuCheng to apologise to GuangXi tomorrow and even adds, that if the President's son (GuangXi) asks MuCheng to sleep with him, she even has to reply, thanks. - In other words, thanking him for being so "kind" to sleep with her. Xiao Ah Yi says that she has raised her for so long now, if she tells her (MuCheng) to sell her body, she should do it. This is beyond ridiculous, I know!



A furious and devastated MuCheng runs off. - Sadly Uncle Cai follows her. She ends up at Sheng De Tang where she sees a piano. She feels drawn to it and starts playing on it. She's interrupted by GuangXi (who is often in Sheng De Tang because it makes him feel close to his father), he tells her her hands are too filthy to play the piano. MuCheng tries to excuse herself for just walking in and touching the piano, but GuangXi who is already pissed off by his Old Hag of a mother doesn't let her go that easily. He indirectly calls her cheap for selling herself out for money. (He still thinks she really betted with the students at school). He says they've kissed, now they should have sex right? It's quite obvious he's back to his self-centred jerk personality who thinks women should undress when he tells them to. He shows no respect for MuCheng before she starts shedding tears. This is the first time he has seen a woman show true feelings by crying and he asks her not to undress. MuCheng managed to touch his deeply burried, cold heart with her tears and GuangXi's conscience suddenly appears. It was probably MuCheng's words that finally got to him, she told him to tell her how much fun he was having while sitting there watching her humiliate herself in front of him.



GuangXi is used to the women around him being cold, distant and only with him to get benefits. He realises that MuCheng is different. - Yay ! :D Unfortunately, perverted Uncle Cai has been peaking inside from the window and he thinks MuCheng and GuangXi have sex. He's furious because he got her first, and he "raised" her and all. - Perverted, despicable man! (The man is unbelievable and I wish I could somehow appear on the screen and strangle him..)
MuCheng mentions that all men are the same, they all think it's fun to humiliate and bully a person like that. GuangXi is taken aback by the "all men" and suddenly feels the need to protect her. Ironic and very double-standards from GuangXi's side as he almost did the same to her. At least he knows himself and asks "who else has treated her that way".

Uncle Cai's "live show" is interrupted when a guard asks him what he's doing on school property. GuangXi and MuCheng has to hide otherwise she will be in trouble for trespassing. They end up finding a bird that's wounded. MuCheng decides to save it. GuangXi tells MuCheng about a legend about a little 8 year old boy who died in Sheng De Tang. It's obviously GuangXi's own story, but he talks about the little boy in 3rd person. The father let go of the little boy's hands when he "committed suicide" (he doesn't directly say it, but implies it). GuangXi then says the boy died after having to endure the pain and suffering of being abandoned. MuCheng being her optimistic self, talks about her own story with her father whom she also lost at a young age. She tries to convince him to be more optimistic. A memorable quote is

"The father hoped that his son would understand that when he falls he should learn how to stand back up by himself instead of whining and blaming others on the floor".

GuangXi admits that MuCheng doesn't seem like a regular bento girl (her family sells bentos), he says he could hear from her piano play that there seemed to be a special feeling behind it. - Well of course there is, it's also a memory of MuCheng's father.
We see the first genuine smile from GuangXi and it's very cute :)

MuCheng and GuangXi end up falling asleep in Sheng De Tang, actually MuCheng thinks she was stranded in there, but GuangXi secretly had a key. He just enjoyed her company too much to let her go ;)



Later GuangXi and Uncle Cai has a confrontation. GuangXi gives MuCheng his cellphone and tells her to call the police if Uncle Cai tries to do anything. Unfortunately, he forgot that was the same phone he took the picture of them kissing on. So when his friends ask him whether he won this bet or not, he has to admit that this time he lost. This time he met an honest girl who would actually cry. GuangXi is punished by having to run several laps around the school wearing Zhang Ai Li's (GuangXi's previous victim from ep. 1) shoes. GuangXi falls to the ground and almost faints. YiQian walks by and helps GuangXi get up.
Turns out YiQian is a med-student, cliché much? She's rich, she's smart and she's going be a doctor?
GuangXi notices how concerned YiQian is and directly asks her if she's interested in him. He bluntly tells her that President Fang wishes for them to date, that way her father would give them money. While a normal girl would be put off and insulted by this ridiculous idea of President Fang's, YiQian just smiles appreciates and admires his honesty. The two agree on going out the following afternoon.

MuCheng accompanies Uncle Cai to a market where he buys a water turtle. Apparently they are good nutrition for men, and it's apparently also a part of his plan to rape MuCheng. - Did I mention the man was beyond despicable? Uncle Cai is almost trying to pick up the woman selling him the turtle, even though she's married ! Uncle Cai talks about how he raised "something/someone" for so long, she can't escape from him. MuCheng knows exactly what he means and runs away. MuCheng breaks down in tears, she is tempted to call GuangXi but decides to wipe her tears away and be strong. Meanwhile GuangXi is waiting for her in Sheng De Tang - he demanded that she would come every night and play the piano for him.
MuCheng arrives too late and plays some rubbish that doesn't please GuangXi's ears.
GuangXi asks her what happened to her. GuangXi talks about the bird they both saved and MuCheng replies,
"Just because you saved it, doesn't mean you have the right to interfere with its everything!" - She's obviously referring to her perverted uncle who did save her, but that does not mean he has the right to sexually abuse or harass her.



Zhang Ai Li is still pissed with GuangXi so she decides to kidnap MuCheng in order to teach GuangXi a lesson. Zhang Ai Li has discovered that MuCheng actually matters to GuangXi. Even though GuangXi pretends to not care, he quickly runs to the ice rink where Ai Li has captured MuCheng. GuangXi arrives, much to MuCheng's surprise. She had no idea she held such an important position in GuangXi's heart <3>
Hua TuoYe arrives, fights the bad guys while asking GuangXi to leave with MuCheng. GuangXi reach out to take MuCheng's hand in other words, asks her to trust him, she does and they run off.


-End-

My apologises for writing such a long recap again. It's really not my intention to write an essay for each episode, but there's just so much happening in one episode, and so many important details. I just can't seem to write short and precise.

Songs of The Day (AC songs)

I'm in the mood to share :)
I know these songs are already available online, but in case you still haven't bought or heard these, you're definitely missing out!
There's a total Autumn's Concerto obsession going on in my head right now, so that's why all posts are related to AC ;)

1. Ni Wei She Ma Shuo Huang (Why Do You Lie) by Ding Dang
Sub theme in Autumn's Concerto. - Quite good IMO.

2. Tu Ran Xiang Ai Ni (Suddenly Want To Love You) by Ding Dang and Emil Chau
This is the ending theme in Autumn's Concerto.

3. Wo Ai Ta (I Love Him) by Ding Dang
As you could probably guess, another song from AC. :)

I'm rather impressed with Ding Dang's songs, I had never heard of her before AC.

Autumn's Concerto - Episode 6 (Previews)

More previews have been released before the heart-breaking episode tomorrow.
I think we'll need more tissues than we used during ep. 5.

There are 3 new previews.
In one of them MuCheng actually told GuangXi "You don't even know if you're alive tomorrow, what can you give me?"
Although I know her intentions behind those words, but to be honest, they're quite harsh.

In another GuangXi makes fun of MuCheng - because she apparently told him that he was her first love/boyfriend. So she was going to push him on the swings, but GuangXi told her that it is the boyfriend's job. - So cute :)

Autumn's Concerto - Episode 1 [Recap]

Here's the recap for the first episode of Autumn's Concerto. The rest will follow.
This first recap is rather extensive - the rest won't be that long, but I just thought a lot of scenes were rather important in this episode, because this is also the introduction to a lot of people.

Summary:
We see:

• MuCheng's transformation, from rich piano-playing little girl to hard-working woman on a fish market.
• The close relationship MuCheng had with her father.
• Cynical Ren GuangXi being a rich playboy, giving up his Porsche as "break up fee".
• The bad blood between GuangXi and his mom, President Fang.
• Uncle Cai's perverted actions
• The skating scene
• and we meet a bunch of people

People we meet:

• Liang MuCheng
• MuCheng's father
• Xiao Ah Yi
• Ren GuangXI
• Hua Tuo Ye - MuCheng's friend.
• Zhang Ai Li
• Lawyer Lin (informally known as Xiao Lin - although he doesn't look that Xiao (small) to me.
• President Fang - GuangXi's mom
• Jacko - friend of GuangXi's.
• Ah Jian - another friend of GuangXi's.
• Ah Nuo - Zhang Ai Li's God brother or something like that.
• Xu Fang Guo - Clever student at Sheng De University

Full recap just:
Screencaps are taking from SUBlimes's version of episode 1.

The story begins with MuCheng as a rich young girl playing the piano gracefully. It is her birthday and while her and Xiao Ah Yi pick up a birthday cake MuCheng's father is on the phone. - Her father is in financial trouble. He tries to cross the street but is too occupied on the phone so he doesn't see the car coming.
MuCheng saw her father die in front of her eyes. From then on it just went downwards.
Xiao Ah Yi and MuCheng lost their house due to her father's financial issues, and Xiao Ah Yi tried to abandon MuCheng on a public bus! Certainly a "great" stepmom she is.. Luckily MuCheng woke up in time and followed Xiao Ah Yi.



Xiao Ah Yi asks MuCheng to steal some buns but they are caught and Uncle Cai of course comes and saves the day. - I knew he was bad from the first moment I saw him. He looks evil too! It's quite obvious that he's the perverted type. MuCheng objects to Xiao Ah Yi being inappropriately touched by Uncle Cai, but Xiao Ah Yi has no choice. - Xiao Ah Yi is a widow with a young child, and of course women can't support themselves? (I would object to that, but perhaps it was like that back then.)



Fast-forward some 10 years and MuCheng is working on a fish market. She has specially ordered a grouper fish because President Fang (President/Headmistress of Sheng De University, where Xiao Ah Yi and Uncle Cai are contractors in the school canteen), likes groupers and they're trying to suck up to her. - Not that it helped because President Fang is a snobbish cold woman who isn't easily sucked up to. She hardly even cares for her own son.
Anyways, the grouper is given to MuCheng for free even though she had planned to pay for it, but the boss gave it to her as a bonus for her hard-work.



So MuCheng takes the public bus to the school but on the way a rich, playboy parks his fancy Porsche in front of the bus. The bus is forced to stop and the bag filled with water and the fish is punctured which means MuCheng has 1 hour to go home if she wants the fish to stay alive and fresh.



This playboy is of course, Mr. Ren GuangXi aka. rich boy who has made another one of his famous bets with his friends on getting a kiss from a selected girl at school. VanNess Wu looks absolutely hot with those sunglasses and his first scenes were very convincing. Zhang Ai Li is the "lucky" victim this time, and she isn't so easily put off, in fact she turns out to be a pain in the b*tt in the next few episodes.



Well, GuangXi is selfish and could care less about the people in the bus, who are stranded because he parked his car in front of it. MuCheng makes a desperate attempt to knock some sense into GuangXi because she is in a hurry, but end up being fooled by GuangXi and accidently backs his car into the bus. GuangXi, MuCheng and Zhang Ai Li then end up at the police station where GuangXi is still being his usual jerk. He tries to frame MuCheng for the damages on his car even though it was very much his own fault. The case is solved when witnesses from the bus come to the station to explain that it was GuangX's fault. Before then we also see the appearance of Xiao Lin, GuangXi's lawyer.

In between we see Uncle Cai's perverted actions - he tried to peak into the bathroom while MuCheng showered.
We also meet Xu Fang Guo - disgusting A-level student on a scholarship who sells his reports to other students who don't do their homework.

MuCheng leaves a book Hua Tuo Ye (a friend of hers, who recently started attending Sheng De University), has borrowed for her on the school's library. Unfortunately this is illegal and GuangXi finds out and of course decides to use this against MuCheng. He practically blackmails her to go on a date with him, because MuCheng is GuangXi's new lucky victim. He has made a bet, he has to kiss MuCheng within 24 hours and the clock is ticking..
GuangXi doesn't believe women have feelings or hearts. He is cynical because he has seen his mother's coldness ever since his father died.
We learn that President Fang was rich whereas GuangXi's father probably focused more on being an artist - he played the piano well and due to fights between them, GuangXi's father committed suicide.



Finally MuCheng agrees to go on a date with GuangXi, but only because she needs to get the book back otherwise Hua Tuo Ye will be in trouble for borrowing books for non-students. GuangXi takes her to the hockey rink where he plays hockey with his friends.


MuCheng is not prepared for it and isn't really dressed for it either, so she sits at the seats and freezes. GuangXi sees this and goes off the rink to buy her a hot drink and brings her a shirt.. :) So cute and thoughtful. Unfortunately it seemed like it was just a ploy to get that kiss from her. He even goes as far as to apologise to MuCheng for wasting her time, for trying to frame her and for killing the grouper fish. - He seemed so sincere, unfortunately I doubt he really was.
MuCheng replies saying,

"You don't need to apologise to me, because it's no use apologising. What's gone is gone, the harm has been done, apologising won't turn back time, and it won't let what has happened go away."

I'm not sure if I agree with that statement. In a sense it's true, but IMO it sounds a bit off for MuCheng's character.
Anyways, GuangXi pursuades MuCheng to try to skate, he promises to "hold onto her". :D
While they're on the rink MuCheng comments on GuangXi's way of holding onto people, she says it's old-fashioned. He replies saying that on the ice rink,

"When I said that I would hold on to you, it's the same as promising to protect you. No matter what, I will protect you.."

- That's a really cute quote :) I personally love it.



The skating scene is one of my favourites even though I know GuangXi's intentions weren't exactly pure. But there's something about skating scenes that are just so romantic. It reminds me of the skating scenes in the Korean Drama - Stairway To Heaven.

While skating MuCheng also asks GuangXi why he's playing hockey when it's so dangerous. - She saw him fall earlier. He replies saying

"Being hit and hurt, it's the only way I can feel that I'm still alive. All the other times, I'm not much different from being dead.."

This is a very harsh statement, but is describing GuangXi's character very well. Ever since his father's death he has not taken anything seriously. He feels dead inside.
MuCheng doesn't like the cynical words that GuangXi says, so she then mentions the story of JS Bach and the "Air on The G String" story to encourage him. The story is about JS Bach who was going to perform, but his cello was tempered with, so he used one string, the G string to perform. This melody became the famous melody "Air on The G String" She says,

"The story tells us that no matter how difficult life gets, you can still play out the most touching melody.."



GuangXi then decides to make a move on it, and kisses MuCheng - it would have been really romantic if GuangXi was taking a picture of it at the same time.. *frown*. Hua Tuo Ye then arrives and punch GuangXi. Exposing his real intentions to MuCheng. Instead of being sad and starting to cry, MuCheng does something completely unexpected. She tells Tuo Ye he came too soon, she made a bet with some students at the school, betting that the school's playboy Ren GuangXi would ask her out on a date within a month and within a week, she would get a kiss. If she was right, they would buy a month's lunch pass at her family's restaurant. GuangXi who is not used to being played back is furious and accuses MuCheng for selling herself out for money. She then replies, "at least I won money, what have you won now?" - Ouch! That hurt, but GuangXi really had it coming for messing with MuCheng. :) I admire that strong personlity of hers.


A furious GuangXi yells, "Liang MuCheng the game is not over yet!"

-End-

Overall a great episode, with lots of great chemistry! :)

Autumn's Concerto Spoilers & News

News have been released and there are spoilers included.

I've hidden it, in case some people don't want to read it, so you have to click "read more".

Summary:
The 5th episode left a big impression on the audience.
Despite a drop in ratings for the 5th episode, AC has been no. 1 for the 5th consecutive week
Ady saw VanNess Wu kiss hot girls in a nightclub and it made her extremely jealous :D - She called the director to complain, asking how GuangXi could kiss other girls like he kissed MuCheng. (So cute, btw!)
Despite being competitors, VanNess texted Show and wrote "Jia You".

Spoiler parts:
Tiffany Xu reveals that she will have a bedscene with VanNess Wu. (Oh no.. I mean I guess it's inevitable, but they called it "very passionate" X[ )
GuangXi and YiQian will be engaged.

Spoilers (unconfirmed):
YiQian (TIffany) will actually be XiaoLe's doctor?

My own speculations for episode 6:
When GuangXi chase after MuCheng, he purposely or accidently drops the picture from their "last date" in the car - so there goes one trace that leads back to MuCheng.
The lucky bracelet that MuCheng gave him was taken off during surgery. - I doubt he gets it back. Either it's left at the hospital or GuangXi's mother hides it. There goes the second trace that leads back to MuCheng.

So except his memory, that is lost after the surgery, everything else that might remind him of MuCheng is gone..

SETTV idol drama ‘Autumn’s Concerto’ aired its 5th episode last Sunday, and it left a big impression on the audience. Besides making the audience tear up constantly, the ratings also did very well! On the 2nd, main leads Vanness Wu, Ady An, Tiffany Hsu & Chris Wu happily ate kingfish to celebrate. Reporters at the event also asked SETTV general producer Chen Yu Shan whether she really will be leaving SETTV but her reply was quite ambiguous: “There are many different forms of collaborations.”

SETTV idol drama ‘Autumn’s Concerto’ aired its 5th episode last Sunday and met very strong competitor ‘Hi My Sweetheart’s premiere broadcast. But ratings still achieved a very good result of 3.73, claiming first place for the 5th consecutive week! And Ady also boldly admitted that she herself was too immersed in the drama. When she saw herself falling into the water, and then seeing Vanness Wu kiss hot girls at a nightclub, it made her extremely jealous. She laughed saying: “During the commercial break, I immediately phoned the director to complain, how can Vanness use the same way of kissing Liang Mu Chen to then go and kiss other girls?!”

In episode 5, there was one scene where Ady had to help Vanness shave. That heartbreaking performance of crying & suffering made Vanness say happily: “This drama has let me fully understand what are real emotions!” And after praises from Vic Zhou (Zai Zai), Elva Hsiao, and Jolin Tsai, Vanness revealed that this week Leehom Wang also sent a text message to him, congratulating him on his excellent performance.

Tiffany Hsu reveals she will have a bed scene with Vanness

Although Tiffany Hsu plays the second female lead in the drama, her character is also very loveable. When asked about comments from boyfriend Ethan Ruan, Tiffany replied: “He feels my character is not bad!” This time, she also has a new hairstyle in this drama, and her character is different to her previous arrogant stuck-up roles. And Ethan teased her saying: “You don’t seem that lethal anymore!” And after seeing Ethan film many bed scenes in idol dramas, Tiffany finally gets the chance to strike back. She will also have a very passionate scene with Vanness in a future episode. When asked whether she will report this to her boyfriend, she replied saying it’s only acting, and she isn’t scared that he’ll get jealous.

The day before yesterday, ‘Autumn’s Concerto’ & ‘Hi My Sweetheart’ each held celebrations for their dramas in different parts of Taipei. Are they worried that the media will plan attacks? Vanness replied that earlier, he specially sent a text message to Show and said to him: “No matter what the media says, us brother have to jia you (add oil) together!”

I've made a new layout, I tried to play around with photoshop, but it's just so complicated.

Feel free to comment, give advice, give constructive criticism whatever in the cBox or in the comments. - Thanks!

Autumn's Concerto Episode 1

As I said earlier, Autumn's Concerto is simply too good to be missed.
VanNess Wu and Ady An's chemistry is so impeccable! <3 This drama is also different from other TW dramas. It is more melodramatic and serious - the plot is also different and resembles a Korean series more than a TW.

I have embedded episode 1 of AC below:


This version is with English Subtitles

Ren Guang Xi, a cocky law student, seems to lead the perfect life. He's the sole successor to a huge and famous business and a talented ice hockey player. But in reality, his lonely life lacks joy, laughter and motivation. That is until he meets Liang Mu Cheng, the new bento seller at his school canteen. Although orphaned at a young age, Mu Cheng does not let her past affect her and lives life with great passion and determination. A harmless bet brings the two together and Guang Xi slowly changes as Mu Cheng teaches him how to give and love. Tragedy strikes when Guang Xi suddenly has to go through a major brain surgery which causes him to lose his memory. His mother begs Mu Cheng to leave him and the latter has no choice but to do so. Little does she know that she already has Guang Xi's child.
Six years pass. Mu Cheng lives a quiet life with her young son in the countryside while Guang Xi is now a successful lawyer and is engaged to He Yi Qian, the kind and beautiful doctor who took care of him after his surgery.
