Based on the title alone, it’s pretty obvious that Drunken to Love You is the successor drama to the all-time ratings champion Fated to Love You. What’s cute is that DTLY borrows some scenes and plot developments from FTLY, but makes it feel fresh and new. For example, Xiao Ru is dumped by Yi Xian in episode 1 just like Xin Yi was dumped by that Gucci (lord his name still makes me ROFL), but her reaction and behavior are so refreshingly different. In episode 11 it looks like we’re getting a similar mask-and-night club scene as well.
I’m genuinely enjoying DTLY so much that I feel like even the silliest of narratives are entertaining without feeling plodding. With Lie to Me ending early next week, I have to give my Drunken-fans an early notice that the recap for cup 11 may come in the latter half of next week. Will try to get it up, but depends on how insane the last two episodes of LTM gets, I may be doing crowd control here at the playground.
Written preview for cup 11 of DTLY:
Two women battling for love, so whose wish will come true? The feelings Xiao Ru has for Jie Xiu, is she really going to allow the chop of a Temple Lady’s knife to cut it?
Daniel orders a fire drill at the hotel. During the drill, Xiao Ru assists another and ends up accidentally losing her wedding ring. Daniel uses this opportunity to get closer to Xiao Ru.
All the signs points to Madame Booby (the goddess of the Temple) exerting all her power to keep the fated destiny of Xiao Ru and Jie Xiu apart.
On the other hand, lonely Samantha goes online and somehow makes an online hookup with Lee Da Fu (Jie Xiu’s boss). Jie Xiu is very embarrassed by his mother’s behavior. But what makes him even more furious is discovering his wife Xiao Ru is actually tagging along with his mom!
At the packed nightclub, a battle between a man and a woman is about to begin.
The recently started filming period C-drama A Dream Within a Dream went ahead and released…
Well this is a bit of good news for two K-actresses having been in controversy…

Crowd control? LOL Thing is, you're probably right! There'll be need for that, haha.
Man, can't we cut the Mom shenanigans? I'd like to zip through all that and go right to the Xie Jiu/Xiao Ru bits. If XR keeps up with the trend she's established in the last one or 2 eps, I may start having random tics. Kudos to Xie Jiu for not giving up, though. He has every right to be frustrated with XR, imho.
Also? LOL at Avril! She has a perfect man right beside her and she hooks up with XJ's boss? I know it's for comic relief, but LOLOLOL
Isn't it his mom that's hooking up with JX's boss, not Avril :)
LTM crowd control hehe!!! I admit my enjoyment of DTLY is getting clouded by my LTM madness. Ok - I know I said that the LTM ep 14 drunk scene was the best drunk scene I've seen yet. But the drunk scene between JX and XR where they flash back to how they got married is freaking hilarious! I have those scenes memorized - and laughed so hard, definitely my 2nd favorite now.
I love the comedic scenes btw JX and XR just as much as the serious. It's really classic TW idol drama but oh so much better. :)
LOLOLOL! I misread!
I think the one who hooked up with XJ's boss was his mother, Samantha, not Avril.
Not Avril, Xie Jiu's mom who hooks up with the boss.
It can't be Sunday fast enough... :) I love pretty much everything about this drama. Well, except for the fact it's only on once a week. *sigh*
Please, please ockoala, do DTLY recaps first before the fallout of LTM hits the fan! Love your recaps! Thanks for all the fun!
I second that. Please, please, prettty please...it's that's possible, of course! Anyway, thanks for your fantastic effort, as always.
Sorry for the typing error. My message should read:

ME THREE.please please recap dtly first like early episode.
i fourth that :D
i love dtly and your recaps of it :D
and i just can't wait!! *squeals*
Crowd control! LOL u r right! However I love LTM as much as you do, so I wont mind waiting for DTLY recap as we still have a few episodes to go!!!!
I am getting depressed already that LTM finale is next tuesday! I will go back to hate mondays!!!!!!!!!
Me too! I love LTM so much, I don't know if I can stop getting depressed after the finale. Anyway, DTLY is still here. Dear Koala, brace yourself you might just be tide over by LTM fans in your playground early next week. LOL...
nado... am so happy that you decide to do LTM first.. I do enjoy this show but, am afraid, not as much as LTM so I can wait...
Hmm... Samantha Song and SJX's boss Lee Da Fu...very interesting pairing, indeed. Can't wait to see how that relationship pan out.
I'm of course more interested in JX-LXR outcome. Our man was not at all happy at discovering wifey at a blind-date masquerade party, was he ? Look at his eyes, opened to their largest extent. They seemed ready to swallow LXR whole!
But then, why was he there in the first place? I can hear it in my mind already...accompanying the big boss. Hey SJX, bear in mind "what's good for the goose is good for the gander"...
Don't worry about us drunken-fans. We'll sit patiently and wait. I think we know how it is when a drama creates a fan base like LTM. Crowd control is a must. I loved the mask-and-night club scene in FTLY so really looking forward to that. Fighting!
hahaha i love you regardless of whichever one u decide to recap first..... btw...do you happen to know if "love buffet" was any good? I love how pretty aaron is but I know his acting is...well...mediocre at best... BTW I am loving that they made JX realize that XR was lying so quickly..... dude it took 3 years for FTLY's CX to realize what "anna" had done!!! ...I can't wait to see more DANIEL scenes in DTLY! omg Xiao gui....is sooo awesome! they MUST have at least one kiss *PRETTY PLEASE*? they have such awesome offscreen chemistry!!!! ..and now i'm just blabbing =)..THANKS A BUNCH FOR ALL YOUR RECAPS AND NEWS!!!!!
Love buffet hmmm? Well the boys were ok but I dont really like the female lead worst was her voice yuck so irky Aaron was so cool love him better than Calvin in LB. Anyway it was manga adaption so kind of know the story goes. I prefer hayate combat butler .lol
Thoroughly enjoy this show, Joseph was a revelation to me but I have to say that his has a very well written role.
I love FTLY (save for the nonsensical last few episodes) and felt that FTLY struck a deeper chord with me (who can forget the hospital scene in Ep 12, those passionate kisses, those tears from Ethan Ruan and Joe Chen).
But I suppose DTLY is lighter and more of a rom com than FTLY.
Yes, lol there will be a battle for LTM and DTLY here in this playground.
I am going to PLEAD for DRUNKEN TO LOVE YOU!!!
I am sure LTM fans don't need to know what they are talking about right?
Just watch them kiss, hug, laugh and kiss some more -- and it will tie you over till DTLY recap is done.
I rest my case.
Okay, your plea is very well-reasoned. I shall take it under advisement.
Base on the preview seem XJ's mom wanted to hook up XR with blind date. XR agreed to stay away from XJ so mom need to find a man for XR
Sorry should read as JX instead of XJ
Ha.ha.ha.! Mama Song's plan backfired big time, for at the blind dating session, LXR finally met up with... none other than her own hubby dearest, SJX!!!
