Jiro Wang Replacing Wu Chun for Sunshine Angel?

According to recent articles and tabloids, Jiro Wang of Fahrenheit is rumored to replace fellow bandmate Wu Chun for the main male role in upcoming drama Sunshine Angel. The drama was originally planned to be released in May of 2011, but because Wu Chun dropped out, claiming the script 'wasn't good enough,' the release date is going to be postponed due to extra unexpected filming.

Jiro Wang will be accompanied by Rainie Yang, who is cast for the lead female role in this new drama. Previously, audiences saw Jiro and Rainie together in the drama in 2008 I believe, ToGetHer. From this drama a few years ago, the couple is definitely compatible. Here's to hoping that nobody else drops out!

Wu Chun Quits Sunshine Angel

Wu Chun quits the cast of Sunshine Angel, a Taiwanese drama that was supposed to be released May 2011. I am personally disappointed, because the heroine of this story was cast to be Rainie Yang, and the duo looks like a superstar couple. He claims to be "too busy" and that the "script is not well written." Hmmm....gets me a little bit suspicious... filming had already began and he just quits? As much as I love Wu Chun, I think it's just a little bit irresponsible, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Romantic Princess: Undescribable

In total honesty, Romantic Princess was, unfortunately, a disappointment. Seeing the cast for this drama, I have to admit, I was pretty excited. This drama's cast included so many famous actors from Taiwan- the ever-adorable Angela Zhang, Fahrenheit's Calvin Chen and Wu Chun, and Genie Cho. And then reading the synopsis, that brought my spirits up even higher. However, when I actually watched the drama, I was unfortunately disappointed.

The film starts out with Angela Zhang, playing Xiao Mai, who is actually the heiress of one of the richest families in Taiwan, but is lost within her first years of birth and adopted by a loving but poor couple. Her biological grandfather is the head of an aristocratic wealthy family, and ends up finding her with this couple. He takes her back to his palace of a home, where she eventually lives. There, she meets the SouthWind boys, who are studying to inherit EMP's (Xiao Mai's) huge company. (EMP's company is like the Walmart of the U.S.)

The whole drama consists of many eventful situations, which consist of a prank from her grandfather and a whole mess of confusion. Xiao Mai ends up in love with NanFengJin (played by Wu Chun,) and they start a new life together.

The entire story, although without a very spectacular storyline, had a couple good moments. Like most Taiwanese dramas, they used comedy throughout the film, and in the end showed what every girl dreams of- a castle, pretty dresses, and a Prince Charming. It wouldn't hurt that her Prince Charming just happened to be Wu Chun, either! On a scale of one to then, though, I would have to say that I only give this drama a five because of those awkward moments and some not-so-hot acting. Although I didn't enjoy this drama as much as I'd expected, it does give the sense of optimism of a 'fairytale ending.'

Hana Kimi Taiwan: Too Cute!

For starters, I love the blended mix of the cast in Hana Kimi Taiwan. Ella Chen, who played Lu Rui Xi, brought the cuteness and innocence aspect into this film. Then on the other hand, Wu Chun, who played the role of Zuo Yi Quan, showed off his cool attitude, with another one of those cold on the outside but sweet on the inside characters. Then on the other side of the planet, we have the too cute Jiro Wang. He's so naturally outgoing and fun loving that it just shows in his character.

I had a lot of fun watching Hana Kimi, just because of the goofy nature of the film. As I mentioned before in the review of You're Beautiful, I'm not a person who's too fond of gender benders, but this one's another exception. However, although all the actors did overall commendable jobs on playing their characters, I feel as if Ella made Rui Xi a little bit 'too cute.' Sure, she's supposed to playing a girl playing a guy, but it makes you think...

The story plot begins with Rui Xi five or so years ago, as an overweight teenage girl. One day she's watching TV, and she sees Quan high jump, and she gets inspired. So in the end she loses weight and is determined to meet him. However, he goes to an all boys private school, so she has to get in as a guy. She faints one day, and Quan is about to take her to the infirmary but then discovers she's a girl because he accidentally feels her boob (imagine how awkward filming that would've been...)

One part that constantly had me laughing was that Jin Xiu Yi (played by Jiro Wang) developed a crush on Rui Xi, when she's supposed to be a guy... So through the entire drama, he's conflicted with his feelings because now he thinks he's gay, when he's not, but technically is. Even though I adored this drama, there were a couple parts that were quite awkward, but we'll forget about those.

This whole drama demonstrates sacrifice for the ones you care about. To me, that's truly something that's really important. It does have a lot of exxagerated humor, though, so if you're not a fan of it, I probably wouldn't recommend it for you. It's one of my personal favorites!
