Does anyone remember this drama, Love You (Or Drunken to Love You/ After being Drunk, I'll Definitely Love You)? One of my favourite SETTV/ Sanlih dramas of all times with Rainie Yang and Joseph Chang. This drama had the best music with Rainie and Yen-J, the opening credits were a dreamy sequence with Rainie and Joseph fated to run into each other, the on-screen chemistry was at times sweet and funny, and at other times...passionate and hot.
If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend Love You even though the drama came out awhile ago in 2011. Anyway, I'm just writing to say that there's been a working reunion with Rainie and Joseph, a new animated series. No surprises really as the show has been so popular since its release that it's made 1.4 billion dollars across novels, comies, games, DVDs etc. Love You has also recently been voted, by Asian netizens, as the most popular drama of the drunken lovers genre. I suspect that Sanlih were looking for a way to revive the Fated to Love You/ Drunken to Love You series as it was one of those dramas with crazy ratings, breaking 5 (They still had a giant poster of the drama hanging up in the Sanlih offices which I saw when I went to the Pleasantly Surprised fan meet in 2014).
I wonder how they're going to animate that making out scene?! They'll probably water it down. If you don't know what scene I'm talking about here's a small snippet of that passionate scene along with a funny interview where Rainie talks about how Joseph made sure she was OK with him making out with her before he got on with it. She gets flushed just thinking about it though!
Anyway, it's nice to see Rainie and Joseph working together again! Even if it is just doing voice-overs in the studio. They had such good chemistry. Before Love You, they worked together once a long time ago, but I think they played family members in their first drama. They also weren't super close when they started out, so their make-out scenes were super awkward to film. But they got on real well during the filming of Love You. Although Joseph is a little reserved at times, I liked all the behind the scenes for the drama because they would both play jokes on each other frequently.
Rainie even got Joseph to play her lover in her film clip for the song that was used in the Love You. The song was really great and the story line with Joseph added to the emotions. Joseph also turned out to Rainie's fan meet with some drama related gifts.
Here are some Behind the Scenes video of the making of the Music Video too, for those who might be interested or who love this pairing.
Anyway, here's Rainie and Joseph in the studio together and signing promotional posters for the animation. Since Love You, Rainie and Joseph haven't done many dramas. Rainie has focused a lot on her singing career, releasing 3 albums and doing a number of concerts, although she did do Sunny Happiness (Well, it got released after Love You, though it was filmed beforehand) and mainland drama, Love at Second Sight. Joseph Chang has been a gun at films, releasing pretty much 2-3 films a year. They look like they're having fun together, though Joseph looks tired. Apparently he had a sore throat and has been worked thoroughly through his tight filming schedule. Here's hoping they have a good time collaborating together again!
