156. Drunken to Love You (aka Love You) 醉後決定愛上你 (2011) Taiwanese

Joseph Chang, Rainie Yang, Kingone Wang, Tiffany Hsu, Alien Huang, Tom Price

Drama Rating: 6.5/10     Neck Score: A

Probably the world's cutest OTP.  That's the only thing that makes this drama work.  You just fall in love with the main couple.  As for everyone else in the drama, they're actually not that bad, for 2nd male leads, 2nd 2nd male leads and crazy bitcas.  Kingone was a nice guy who messed up, Alien was a turd (and I love him unreasonably as an actor), but also an ok nice guy, and the bitca just didn't know how to give up because of her obsessive personality, but was still a nice person consistently, even though she made a lot of stupid decisions.  The biggest problem I had with it, is that I have Fall In Love With Me Syndrome, meaning that I don't trust Taiwanese dramas any more so at the first sign of crappy drama in the previews, and I panic and imagine the worst, making it hard to watch the next episode, but in this show's case, it was never that bad, and they were actually just tricking you into thinking it would be.  This is sort of a second in the series to Fated to Love You, and like it's predecessor, it is a roller coaster of draggy tiny drama.  The main couple can't be happy for more than two seconds because some random tiny drama happens.  It's frustrating as crap, but at least it never ACTUALLY gets Fall in Love With Me bad.  What makes it different from Fated is that Jie Xiu was a whole lot more mature than Cun Xi, who was a total butt.  In fact he was more like Lee Gun.  He was dedicated to making her happy from pretty much day one, and didn't take forever trying to figure out what he wanted and being hung up on "Anna."  I loved how quickly he got rid of that poster of Ai Wei.  Of course his being awesome and falling in love with Xiao Ru that quickly (but how could he not when she was that cool?) just made it harder to wait 18/30 episodes for them to get together because of all the stupid crap that went down.  But at least there was some cute in every episode to make up for the little bit of crap in nearly every episode.  Also, they have to make the ending cheesy and inappropriate. I'll take it, if it means that it is finally ending and I can get my happy ending for my dream OTP.

88. Devil Beside You 惡魔在身邊 (2005) Taiwanese

Mike He, Rainie Yang, Kingone Wang

Drama Rating: 4/10     Neck Score: A

Another as addictive as crack type deal.  Seriously badly made (but this is 2005) but still so watchable.  Maybe it's because Mike He is super hot and has super sexy hair.  It's based off of a manga, and it the silliest plot ever.  The manga is originally in high school, but to make it less sketchy they put it in college, but you'll still think they are all in high school they way they all act.  She accidentally gives her confession note to the wrong boy, not the captain of the basketball team but to the resident bad boy.  He then uses it to make her his slave/errand girl, but it's clear that this is because he likes her.  Then they find out that they are soon to be step-siblings as their parents are about to get married.  This becomes a big problem when she starts liking him, but doesn't seem to deter him from pursuing her.  The show is badly made, but not badly acted really (well at least the main two actors, can't say the same for basketball captain dude).  It gets way silly, but the chemistry of the main two is no joke and "Make-out Mike" can really kiss.  Seriously, that dude's hair is too sexy in this show.  Makes his neck look soooo goooooood.  They made it seriously in the manga style in how it was done, from the acting styles to the hair, to the special effects.  Maybe that makes it seem cheesier, but the rest is so badly made that it might make it worse when it's just a style choice.  Anyways, it was one of those things where we were like "why do we like this show so much?"  But we had to keep watching.
