2011 is turning out to be a banner year for TW-dramas. I’m not kidding, because I thought the previous two years were pretty much crap with the exception of Black & White. Whereas this year has given me three awesome TW-dramas in a row: Sunny Happiness, Drunken to Love You, and Material Queen. But it’s not done yet, because I foresee a fourth drama to joining the illustrious ranks of those three beloved dramas of mine – the upcoming In Time With You with Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen, helmed by Director Winnie (The Rose, It Started With A Kiss, They Kiss Again).
As much as this year I’ve loved leading ladies Janine Chang, Rainie Yang, and Lynn Xiong, my personal goddess of all TW-actresses remains Ariel. Based on the first full four-minute preview for ITWY, she does not disappoint. This drama looks like an honest depiction of modern love and hits me right in the gut. I feel it – the angst, the insecurity, the feeling that time waits for no one and it’s ever so hard to take the first step. Ariel has amazing chemistry with ALL her male leads, and this time it’s no exception with Bolin. If ITWY does turn out to be Ariel’s last drama or even last acting project, I will cry copious tears and cherish what looks to be a phenomenal final project from her. Enjoy the trailer below with English subs (courtesy of TKA Subbers – ArJoe fans are the BEST).
Four-minute preview for In Time With You:
I love the literal translation of the Chinese title “I Might Not Love You”, which is what Lee Da Ren (Bolin) says to Chen You Qing (Ariel) when they are just in high school. They first cross paths when they are running for class president, and she wins by one vote. They are forever linked as class president and vice-president, and fifteen years as best friends later, it’s like neither has ever dared to cross that line. Because of that throwaway line he says to her when he was young and foolish – it’s not possible for me to love you. I have a feeling that ITWY will be TW-dramas version of 9 Ends 2 Outs, where two opposite sex best friends can’t take the first non-platonic step forward. I can’t wait!

Both actors seem amazing and there's a great chemistry.I loved Ariel in ISWAK and They kissed again and it comes from a feminist.Did someone liked Love contract?i didn't watch it yet.
Hope she will sing in this drama .
I adore Love Contract...it was filled with long spaces but I did enjoy the drama...those the last two episodes does leave one VERY upset and wailing "WHY?!" The interaction of the two leads in the last episode and the ending does KIND of make up for it.
For me, it was the worse tw drama ever. So depressing, at times boring. The end.... really disliked it.
Well as for me I did like the series... But the ending totally ruined it for me and made me regret ever watching it!!! It was soo unnecessary!!!
Wow. This looks more like a film than a tv drama. And as usual, Ariel's performance knocks it out of the ballpark. Looks promising!
love ariel.... can't wait to see this !
it is look so interesting, denial and finding a way to be together....
Ariel Lin is the princess of TW dramas. And I'm so happy she's back. And so sad if it's gonna be her last. :( That "Ariel has amazing chemistry with ALL her male leads" is so spot on, I can't even believe it. They have chemistry all right and I'm excited for this one. Hope it's memorable too! :D
Totally I agree with you and with what ockoala said!!!! I don't watch that many Taiwanese dramas but Ariel's acting sure is memorable in everything I've watched her in:)
I just realised something... Don't you think Ariel Lin looks very much like Su Ae as well?
yup, even i've felt that... & in a similar story 2...
& is ariel lookin better & better as she ages??? she & rainie are looking more and more gorgeous with each new drama they shoot...
oh ariel lin im glad she is back.......and im just curious more because the director is the same as my all time favorite twd iswak n the rose
she is my fave taiwanese actress so excited to watch this drama and im hoping this will not be the last...she has amazing chemistry with her co actors,,,
Love Ariel...and I cannot wait to see this!
This preview looks good, and I love the background song already!
I think I've found the drama to cure my withdrawal symptom once I finish Scent of a Woman, yay! :)
Yes. It's Ariel Lin! I'm so gonna watch the drama. The storyline looks promising. I agree with you, Capt. K. This drama reminds me of 9 Ends 2 Outs. Pretty much the same. I can't wait for the premiere. ^^
