Chen is probably married too. Felt like a sad or tragic storyline.

Harunacamelia Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Edward Chen looks so familiar, could someone tell me where have I seen him before? As in, has he done other dramas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaku89 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I like this series so far. There's also a subplot about a kid from the same school who is bullied by his classmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks he isn't credited as acting in anything before Red Balloon, if MyDramaList is to be trusted episode 6 was interesting, but if there are only two more episodes left, I wonder how they'll fit anything in the remaining 20 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariafoxx Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 thank you for the link ( and thread) @Cedric Ong I was drawn to this series because it has nice end credit song, but since I'm not watching any drama right now so I decided to wacth this series and I quite like it so far, though I prepared for sad ending if not tragic. The casts were OK, I just dont understand why the different actors to play older since they not much different from the high school actors. And I enjoy the songs used in this series, they're nice, I'll be very much grateful if someone would listed here Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Ong Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Ep 7 is out. Guess the most dramatic or sad parts are here. Probably the next ep (read will be the last) will continue or loop back to their adult selves...cross finger for a HE or least something hopeful. Include ep 4 to 6 in spoiler. Spoiler Another ost song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Ong Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Bts clip. Subbed. For those who didnt watch...Edward Chen acted as Xia Zi Chen...the guy with shorter hair, model student. Well..the actor mentioned he is str8 in the clip...appear half way in the clip. But i find this trivia commented by the clip uploader interesting so share it here. "I have to say something for Chen Edward. In another interview, he said he did this role because of his sister 'cuz her sister is a lesbian. Her sister couldn't be accepted by their parent in the past. She's been through a lot and he also feels painful seeing his sister like that. That is, he wants to show her sister how much he loves him so he wanna dedicate this series to her. Besides, he's been supporting marriage equality movement in Taiwan. Sometimes you can't just judge a person from a simple clip." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vannamara Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 In love with this drama I hope it doesn't end so soon though.... Jason / Li Xiang Wan is such a cheerful and "pure" character, I can't help to fall in love with him But I've been seeing that this series is not as popular as the others... I wonder why....

Fujin St is in Taipei, it's a busy street with small shops, cafes etc. The few chinese articles on this drama didn't mention much on the plot. I use google translate on its wiki...Bernard Sen Jun is a singer from Malaysia...the description said he's secretly in love with one female char. Xu Tao plays a minor char who's friend of Bernard's char. Most of the chars are involved in managing a restaurant....probably in Fujin St. Btw the director Adiamond Lee is the same one as Obsessed of HiStory series. https://translate.google.com.sg/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-sg/%E5%AF%8C%E9%8C%A6%E8%A1%97-%E9%80%99%E6%A2%9D%E8%A1%97%E4%B8%8A%E7%9A%84%E9%82%A3%E4%BA%9B%E6%95%85%E4%BA%8B&prev=search **************** Btw now waiting for the last ep 8 of Red Balloon.
