The last few days , i've been watching a Taiwan drama , "Down With Love". It's a romantic comedy. I like it very much! Damn nice man! Rating : 10/10. :DD
Jerry Yan as Xiang Yu Ping ~
Other than composed and intelligent, "aloof and lethal-tongued" would be the most appropriate description for Xiang Yu Ping. Being the top-notch leading man in-charge of Xiang Law Firm, the job has exposed him to the greed and ugliness of mankind. As such, he found it hard to believe that there would be "eternal love and kinship" in this world. Faced only with the most hideous side of human nature, thus, he decided to adopt an attitude of skepticism and contempt to his surroundings.
The only time with which Xiang Yu Ping would display his gentler side would be to his girlfriend since school-days - Ding Hui Fan. However Heaven seems to like to play tricks on a man like Xiang Yu Ping . Ding Hui Fan subsequently became an upcoming star in the entertainment industry, and under the influence of the glittery showbiz, she is no longer content with a simple life. When Ding Hui Fan initiated the break-up with Xiang Yu Ping, Xiang Yu Ping thus decided to seal up all of his emotions.
In addition, Xiang Yu Ping was also ungenerous in giving his attention and concern to the 2 children left behind by his late elder brother. Instead, he hired a group of nannies one after another, who were unsuitable to look after the children; until he finally met Yang Guo. With her unique style, Yang Guo gradually changes everything surrounding his life. Yang Guo's sunny disposition not only tamed and changed the 2 difficult children, but also brought light to the darkness in Xiang Yu Ping's heart.
The "wretched" Cinderella's sunny powers are indeed stunning as Xiang Yu Ping found his "feelings" for her has risen to a state whereby he no longer feels "the need for her reciprocity". In other words, despite knowing that this girl might not fall for him, Xiang Yu Ping could not control his feelings to continue to care for her, be nice to her and make her happy...
Xiang Yu Ping feels that his life has been wrecked totally--- but happily too!
Ella Chen as Yang Guo ~
Kind-natured, innocent, and contented with life; despite all "unlucky" circumstances, Yang Guo would always find a way to encourage and spur herself on, and adopt a bright and optimistic outlook. She would perhaps be the only silly girl left in this century to still hold a firm belief in "love conquers all". But alas, her luck in love has always been bad and ended up being jilted by her boyfriend. Nonetheless, when the going gets tough, she believes in being even tougher, and holds true to her belief that there will always be the giving of unconditional love in this world.
Her father, a once wealthy man, had squandered away his wealth and left a huge debt to be repaid by Yang Guo and her elder sister, Yang Duo. Therefore her elder sister, Yang Duo, has to use all her wits to earn and save every single cent. As long it is a money-earning avenue, and Yang Guo is free to do so, Yang Duo would never let the chance pass her younger sister by!
On a "dark and unlucky" day, Yang Guo messed up the few jobs she happened to be having on hand. Thus, she ended up recommending herself to Yang Duo's boss, Xiang Yu Ping to become the ultimate nanny for the Xiang family!
When Yang Guo came to understand that the 2 children's mischievous antics were mere gestures in an attempt to attract Xiang Yu Ping's attention, she continued to shower them with utmost sincerity and love. On the other hand, when the children saw how Yang Guo disregarded her own safety to save them from a kidnap attempt, the children let down the defenses in their hearts. Thus, this became Yang Guo's first taste of the "fruit of success" of "love conquers all".
As more friction arises through interaction with each other, Yang Guo actually realizes that beneath the cold disposition of Xiang Yu Ping is an adorable side of him. Meanwhile Xiang Yu Ping was also touched by Yang Guo's bravery in always giving. Under normal circumstances, perhaps the Prince Charming would eventually discover the dazzling Cinderella in the corner of the room. But the foremost pre-requisite of a fairy tale would be - Cinderella must never show disinterest in Prince Charming!
Ji Xin Ling as Xiang Yufei ~
10 years old, and Xiang Yu Ping's niece, and one of the "females" that caused Xiang Yu Ping to shake his head. Witty and always up to mischief, despite her pretty and sweet looks, she is always the one to call the shots to make her younger brother do all the mischievous deeds. Her mother's running away and the sudden death of her father has caused her to feel a great sense of insecurity. With her only living relative - an uncle who has no patience and could not bother with them, hence she decided to purposely create mischief and havoc to his life. But when she met the sincere and honest Yang Guo, Yufei learnt to really smile from the bottom of her heart and gradually become more reliant on Yang Guo's existence.
Xiao Xiao Bin as Xiang Yuting ~
4 years old, and Xiang Yu Ping's nephew. Energetic and either always eating or playing, he idolizes his elder sister very much. But when Yang Guo appears, his idol has a changeover totally. His biggest dream is to conquer the world together with Ultraman.
Xhen Zi Han as Ding Hui Fan ~
An upcoming star in the showbiz. To any young, pretty and ambitious girl, to give up love in exchange for superficial fame is not really hard to understand. Thus when given a choice between career and love, Ding Hui Fan chose to hurt Xiang Yu Ping, in order to advance in her showbiz career.
Perhaps what caused Ding Hui Fan to make such a decision was her over-confidence in the love of Xiang Yu Ping. She assumed that with her attributes and their past relationship, a break-up is just a tactical strategy for her presently. Should she be tired of showbiz and wish to return to his side one day, she was sure that Xiang Yu Ping would be waiting for her always, devotedly.
Thus when Ding Hui Fan found that Xiang Yu Ping was aloof to her, she could not bear with the consequences. To her surprise, the reason for Xiang Yu Ping's change of heart would be an "ugly duckling" like Yang Guo, an ordinary girl with neither stunning looks nor figure. This realisation was a big shock to her!
Nonetheless Ding Hui Fan's setback period was short. She believed that given her past relationship with Xiang Yu Ping, and the polished tactics she had picked up in showbiz, Yang Guo would never be her match when it comes to relationship...
Michael Zhang as Qi Ke Zhong ~
A renowned interior designer, Qi Ke Zhong is Xiang Yu Ping's close friend since childhood. Both men were well matched in terms of appearance, height, and intelligence. The only difference between them would perhaps be their family background. While Qi Ke Zhong could be said to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Xiang Yu Ping has depended on his own capability to rise to his current status of a much sought after eligible bachelor.
Never would one expect that Qi Ke Zhong and Xiang Yu Ping would cross paths in the battlefield of romance. Both men grew to like the same girl, Ding Hui Fan. When Ding Hui Fan chose Xiang Yu Ping, although the men remained as good friends, Qi Ke Zhong had not realized this incident left an undetected darkness in his heart. Given Yang Guo's surprise appearance, this scar once again resurfaced.
As a bystander, Qi Ke Zhong could see how much Yang Guo mattered to Xiang Yu Ping; however neither Yang Guo nor Xiang Yu Ping had realized so. When Yang Guo joined Qi Ke Zhong's company to work as his assistant, he was glad for the advantage to be nearer to her. Gradually the sensitive Qi Ke Zhong discovered an often unrevealed feminine side to Yang Guo. He slowly won over Yang Guo's heart, but what caused him unease was that he came to learn that his motives for going after Yang Guo were not innocent.
After a series of turmoil, Qi Ke Zhong still lose Yang Guo. Dejected, he looked back at his past, and it was only now that Qi Ke Zhong discovered the Yang Duo, who was always by his side all this while...
Xian Xian as Yang Duo ~
Yang Guo's elder sister, Yang Duo, is street-smart and thrifty beyond words. Growing up in the broken family has resulted in Yang Guo to long for familial warmth; meanwhile the riches-to-rags plight of the family has caused Yang Duo to crave for wealth. Thus, with such motivation, Yang Duo would think of nothing but earning more money each day and the attraction of wealth to her is unlimited. Despite so, Yang Duo would never think of marrying a rich man as a fast mean to get wealthy, as she believe that it is more reliable for a woman to depend on oneself.
However the "virtue" of her belief dissolved when she met Qi Ke Zhong. Yang Duo was surprised to learn that Qi Ke Zhong was the Prince Charming she had always admired since young and so often thought of. It was only because of her family plight that the she, the former rich little Princess, has now become an ordinary.
