My Wonderful Life with Jerry Yan Premieres Mid-November and Releases Official MV Trailers

Jerry Yan, probably the most reluctant A-list leading man in Taiwan what with one project every few years, is finally coming back to the small screen two years after Down with Love. The C-drama My Wonderful Life co-starring Yedda Chen is probably more notable for it being a straight up remake of the hit K-drama Brilliant Legacy/Shining Inheritance. The production recently released two official OST MVs, which double as trailers since it pretty much gives away the entire plot.

In this case, that’s really not a big deal since the plot is readily available if anyone deigned to check out the original drama starring Han Hyo Joo and Lee Seung Gi. The two OST songs are quite lovely, with Jerry and Yedda each singing one. The drama premieres in 3 weeks, so for those of you missing Jerry or hoping for a more mature take on the story, check it out. I’ll probably pass, unless I hear it’s the shiz niz. The drama doesn’t look bad actually, but I’ve seen BL/SI and once was enough for me. While it was addicting, ultimately it’s not a story I care to watch with a completely different cast.

  • I didn't watch Brilliant Legacy so I might watch this. Thanks for the post, Ockoala.

    p/s Why is his hairstyle still the same? O_o

  • I loved the original and this one has Jerry!! (The lead girl actually looks like Han Hyo Joo in the pic above). So even if I don't usually watch remakes since knowing the story makes it pretty passive and boring at times. I miss Jerry and he will be fun to watch as Hwan with better hair!!

    • I liked autistic brother a lot better than this version.. And also this one seems like it has more couple moments than BL. I guess, i will watch it on fast forward mostly...

  • hmmm... not digging the hair do. I like Jerry Yan but man, when is he gonna cut the hair!

    I am seeing some DMS's facial expression.

    thanks for the update.

  • Jerry's hair. LOL. Maybe it's an image thing. I can't picture him in any other kind of hairstyle.
    I really like Moon Chae Won's portrayal of the hypocritical obsessed second lead. Though I won't be checking this out, I think that second lead actress got big shoes to fill in ^^. I like Shinning Inheritance, but I don't think I can rewatch it again. I don't think I can handle watching evil stepmother again. :|

  • o wow...they're copying every teeny bit from the hair styles (only slightly diff on Jerry) down to the clothes....idk how this will work for me

  • totally agree with koala on here:
    "I’ve seen BL/SI and once was enough for me. While it was addicting, ultimately it’s not a story I care to watch with a completely different cast."

  • Jerry is one of those actors who create gud chemistry with their partners, but look at this, I dont know what he did with his body, he looks thinner and thinner by dramas, and its absolutely not gud, he looks weak, gosh

    • I'm with you. I saw the MV and was like... That was him? What happened to him? Has he been sick or something? He was so much better looking and healthier in DWL.
      I hope he is okay. I really do like his Yu Ping in DWL, simply adorable.
      As for this remake, I'll skip and do a rewatch of DWL instead.

  • Jerry looks so skinny?? I think his physique looks the best in Meteor Garden (let's not talk about the drama itself)
