[Taiwanese Drama 2014] Pleasantly Surprised 喜歡 · 一個人

[c_gunawan541]

Ep4 rating: 1.83 a sharp rise from 1.56 last week, still at no.1 spot.
just check: http://dorama.info/drama/pfd_rate.php?num=11440for the ratings of Pleasantly surprised.
(For useful links, livestream sites, websites related to Pleasantly Surprised,
please check the 2nd post of this thread!)
Side note: the screenwriter coordinator (recent tw-dramas have more than 1 screenwriter, screenwriter coordinator basically supervise these writers and also add their own input) for this drama is the screenwriter for famous tw-dramas like, "My Lucky Star", "Defeated Queen/My Queen", "Fated to Love You", sounds pretty promising.
Ep4 BTS

The staffs were joking that Jasper bribed the director so that's why he get to kiss Puff so many times this week, LOL!The little boy, Xiao Yi is soooo cute! 
In the later part, Puff and Jasper are playing around, Jasper acting as a servant girl in ancient times and Puff plays a pervert rich man in ancient times, Puff and Jasper play the "run and chase" scenario, so funny. 
From the 9:38 mark in the video:Jasper: Master, don't be like this, don't grab me. (girly tone)Puff: Don't run, let me touch you..Jasper: Don't touch me! (girly tone)Puff: Faster, let me hug you!Jasper: Don't! Master, it's improper for men and women to be too close.(girly tone)
I died... ROFLMAO.

Ep5 Preview

It's a bit different from the one shown in the end of ep4.
I kinda miss Jasper's curly hair, he still have his trademark cute smile soooo... it's fine, hahaha!His new hairstyle kinda look like a bowl cut when it's not swept to the side, heh. I prefer his hair to go all up like in the opening theme.

This picture is apparently the phone lock screen of Jasper's Korean fan, he got quite a lot of korean fans commenting in his facebook page.(check 2nd post of this thread for his facebook page) 

Lock screen of another Jasper's Korean fan.

old picture... i'm just trying to post a Jasper's photo spam....

I like his broccoli hair and also this all-up hairstyle~



funniest scene in the episode, LOL!

To not show too much of my personal bias (I'm a big fan of Jasper), I'll end with some puff pictures
This hairstyle looks pretty on her! 
Kai-Qi smiling!

^^ Thanks dear for replying back. I read some comments on  FILWM's official facebook page. As I am a big fan of both Aaron and Puff's so it comes naturally to me to compare both dramas ratings. Will try not to compare both shows in future  
BTW you r a rock-star and keep updating us.. (I have plenty of question in regards to puff, will ask you laterz)

The cast are having fun with the water game and it's eye-candy galore for us, viewers. They're celebrating the 2.26 cable rating, Jasper made a promise that the boys of the show will bare their upper body if the rating breaks 2 but it comes faster than he thought, hahaha!
The boys of Pleasantly Surprised, YUMMY... what an eye-feast and the cute boy in the center, hahaha!

warming up 

before they get wet.



The poor guys can't defend themselves in front of the ladies but it's fanservice for us!

LOL! Even the boy goes naked! Control your hormones, girls! Prepare some tissue in case your nose is bleeding, hahaha!

preparing to take off...

what's with Jasper's face? Octopus? LOL!








Apparently, Puff and Jasper hang out after work to go to the gym to work out a few days ago. They must be working out to prepare for the water-gun game.




More bts pictures before the water-game celebration.Xiao Yi is soooo cute and the guys too, haha!



Videos of the water-game: (Not in order)

Thanks for the BTS videos.   They are highly entertaining and nose bleed worthy!!  I wish I understand some of the stuff they said.  I heard something about the ladies would be wearing bikini if the guys win or am i being delusional? haha

[c_gunawan541]

^ She also said that if rating breaks 5, it's "ALL" the cast that wear bikinis, including the guys, LOLLLLL!I highly doubt it will break 5 as it's been years since an idol tw-drama break 5 in rating. She was reluctant to wear bikini so initially she said she will just wear a full diving suit instead, haha!
The new preview for ep5:

Trivia:Jasper and Puff collaborated last year for a skit in the Golden Bell Awards (Taiwanese Television Yearly Award ceremony). SETTV must have seen that clip: http://youtu.be/MyR53qqZO4c before, good selection!They also share a mutual friend in real life so I think that's the reason they seem so close and friendly in BTS.I'm not shipping them outside of the drama because.... I ship myself too hard with Jasper, LOLL!! 
Joking, but I do have a strong crush on Jasper. I also hardly ship any drama couple outside of the dramas.
(Eg: IAGW's Lego and Kirsten, they're so cute but I wish to see them pairing with others in other dramas)
See their collaboration pictures below

If anyone is interested, I'll do a little bit updating on Jasper's info since I had a crush on him since 2 years ago through his modeling and indie-band works, I'm sure it will be helpful as many people here are new to him. He used to have curly-hair that resembles broccoli, which earns the nickname Village chief of broccoli from his fans. He's also quite popular as an ulzzang (best face/goodlooking in Korean) in Korea, he has many korean fans that comments on his facebook page and instagram. He never did any promotions in Korea before (I think) but he's known there because of his small role in "In Time With You" and for his cute smile/handsome looks, the korean fans made a cafe for him: http://cafe.daum.net/LiuYiHow
He's quite an established model in Taiwan as his management agency is also considered as a modeling agency. He starred in various CFs, MVs and did many photoshoots. He's also the guitarist of an indie band: Morning Call (輕晨電) (consists of 2 girls and another 2 guys, the girls look like models too, they got artistic vibe around them). 
Here are some modeling/CFs/MVs works of Jasper did:

Marie Claire photoshoot

Modern TV photoshoot

His recent cat-walking for an event, he appears in the second half of the video

past catwalk video, he appears at 3minute mark

Mini-movie CFs:

I love this CF, so cute! It's for a milk CF, with a girl who can't talk.

His Indie Band: Morning Call (輕晨電)'s song: （Instrumental Rock/Electronica）

They never release a full official album but they do a lot of live gigs in Taiwan periodically. Check out their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/eelin.Morningcall?ref=br_tf
My favorite song: Fine

Thank your for sharing this info. I just finish watching ep 5. I love it! I think the overall rating for today ep will probably reach 2.

[clauric]

the last few mins of episode 5 made me cry...she was mean to him saying those things that she probably didn't want to say...thank goodness the sneak preview of episode 6 made me feel so much better!

i love the fact that the other girl wants to compete again to be fair..let's hope she doesn't have to do anything to sabotage the competition..but then again i don't think she would since she wants to prove that she is more talented.

[Guest bashful]

Is the rating out yet for ep 5??? I can't wait for next Saturday for ep 6!

How many episodes will there be?

REALLY enjoying this so far.It seems appropriate that the lead is Puff, since the Drama itself is light and fluffy, a sweet, insubstantial treat that goes down very easily. I hope it is only around 20 episodes as mydramalist claims, because that would be not too long while still giving enough time to enjoy the cute OTP. As koala said on her blo, it's nice to see a cold, emotionally unavailable female first lead for a change, even if five episodes in, it's clear that veneer is very thin. And I'm loving the music choices too, although I wish that voi che sapete, la donna e mobile and L'amour est un oiseau rebelle  could have been left intact and not given muzak-style renditions. Overall,a delightful confection that I'm looking forward to sampling for the next few months

News pictures of tomorrow's episode.



They're having fun backstage, while they were waiting for the filming to start, they started playing "carrying" game, Puff carries Jasper on her back and Jasper too, haha! They seem pretty close in real life, I'm a bit jealous of Puff But it's okay, I like Puff too so I like this pairing.

Also, I'm going to use some of the gif as my signature. I will credit. Thanks! =)

I could not believe how bleak Puff's own life story was - the interview I read with her the other day makes her character in this Drama's story almost seem like fun.
