Mei Le, Go Ramps up for Premiere and Releases Photo Storybook

The Taiwan airing of Sunny Happiness on CTV is wrapping up in two weeks, and it’s successor drama Mei Le, Go (though it looks like the English title may be Love Keeps Going) is ramping up for its premiere.

Okay, I’m just never going to concur with the decision to air one Mike He drama right after another Mike He drama, which just leads to potential Mike-fatigue and crossing of OTPs. Like anyone watching SH is going to immediately board the MLG pairing of Mike with Cyndi Wang? Yeah, not bloody likely.

I would much prefer Sunshine Angel get dusted off and pit Angel Rainie Yang against Drunken Rainie. Now that would be a battle royale worth the watch. But it’s MLG that’s gotten the green light, and the production has announced that concurrently with the airing of the drama it will be releasing a photo storybook. Bringing you all some pictures from the photobook, and a blurb about the drama.

In front of love, everyone turns into a coward. So It’s easier to hide in one’s own kingdom and be your own King.

She, outgoing and hardworking, eager to help others, has an innate desire to be needed.

He, arrogant and self-absorbed, disdainful of others, has an innate dislike of being cared for.

One is a reincarnation of a serving girl, the other is an epitome of a king.

She takes care of him, because he’s going to be family, she will soon be his sister-in-law.

He looks down on her, because she’s so subservient – the more she gives, the less it’s appreciated.

She can’t change him, but the two of them sure can fight, fireworks spewing everywhere.

As a music producer, the world is his to command.

But he falls to his knees for something so insignificant, but somehow utterly important.

Only the bread she makes can give him creative inspiration.

The true love she so reveres is suddenly in danger with the intrusion of a third party.

Her bakery is on the brink of going out of business.

He finds a solution to save her bakery and defeat the third party intruding into her relationship, so that she can continue to bake bread for him.

He doesn’t know that his arrogant self-constructed kingdom is in danger of collapsing from the onslaught of the scent of bread.

Love and bread, can they co-exist, and how easy would that be?

MLG is co-produced by GTV and the Taiwanese Hakka Cultural Association, and the Hakka dialect will be heard in parts of the drama. Just like many Taiwanese dramas tend to incorporate smatterings of Taiwanese, this time it’s the even more minority dialect of Hakka (and the Hakka culture), that will be featured in this drama.

Taiwanese citizens of Hakka (客家) descent comprise about 10-15% of the population, and there are many more Hakka people in Mainland China. In the early-to-middle part of the last century, Hakka people were discriminated against and persecuted in Taiwan (whereas the Taiwanese Aborginal people were merely shunned and pushed to reservations).

Only in the last few decades has Taiwan made a concerted effort to rid itself of inter-ethnic discrimination and proactively tried to raise public interest and awareness of the minority cultures that continue to thrive in Taiwan, including Hakka and the Aboriginal culture.

  • I don't mind more mike he but i'm not really a cindy fan. not sure if i'll watch this one.

  • Hmmm... Why is the symbolism of bread so popular all of a sudden? Love and Bread, and now this.
    I know bread is like 'essential' for life since it's a basic need etc... But still, it's weird.
    And I'm getting really really tired of the naive, innocent, kind, girl with a simple job that doesn't earn that much money but she enjoys, and the cold, rich guy who somehow falls in love with the girl despite thinking the girl is 'below' him and doesn't understand why he fell in love with her.

  • I'm not only tired of the plucky innocent girl but the arrogant rough guy. Are these the only people in the world that end up together? She's dirty, he's clean. She's nice, he's mean. Really? And then, he mellows out and she toughens up? Exasperating.

    I do want to see Mike(I'd be insane not to want that) but like a lot of others Cyndi... I tried Momo Love and just couldn't hack it. Hope it does well... but against Drunken to Love All Things Jie Xiu and Xiao Ru? I'm not raising my glass too high over that one...

    • I pretty much agree with your first paragraph. In many of the TWdramas I've watched the girl is the innocent, pluck, kind hearted one while the guy starts of as an ass. And it does get very tiring after a while.

  • I love sunny happiness to bits! Its the drama that gets me interested in TWdramas again. And, I love your banner! Looking at it reminds me of those extremely sweet moments between yongyong and yunjie..

  • I'm hoping the actors can pull off Hakka. It's a very uncommon and difficult dialect. My grandmother's Hakka and up till today I can barely understand the simplest of phrases.

  • There hasn't been much tw drama that appeals to me...the last that I was captivated was miss no good (excluding dtly as it still have a long way to go to judge though I love it now)
    not that I can act but... Mike's acting is like.....the same in each of his drama...he did improve but I don't see him specially craft a character for all his roles...the way he talks n actions does not surprise me n I just got bored after watching 3 of his drama (despite his good looks).
    In dilemma now whether to watch cos I like cyndi...she's quite a natural with her roles so far...

  • I've watched all of Cyndi's dramas and I really like her acting so far. I'm also looking forward to this drama :)
    As for Mike I only watched his DBY and never get to finish it lol

  • so when exactly is sunshine angel coming out? i thought it was coming out on 28/05... i can't wait for the wu chun rainie pairing, coz i think theyre both super cool.
