In a long awaited yet totally unexpected turn of events, the pretend married couple of Yi Jie and Wei Xiang on the daily TW-drama Inborn Pair decided to smoke the recent drama competition with a truly memorable and realistic kiss for the ages. I was NOT ready for that. Kudos to Annie Chen and Chris Wang for delivering big time. I guess with the appearance of Chris Wu in an extended cameo as Yi Jie’s ex-boyfriend, suddenly the stakes are raised and emotions are beginning to be acknowledged.
In this scene, the couple missed their initial honeymoon so end up in a lodge where two other long married couples are also vacationing. They are excited to see young newlyweds and try to get our fake marrieds to express their affection openly. While the first kiss was adorably awkward, the second one has Wei Xiang finally getting over his mental hump and realizing that he wants to kiss his wife. Oh hell yeah. Watch the scene, a reminder that most dramas suck at kiss scenes so it’s a treat to see one done right.
What I love about this scene is how it’s not perfectly acted. It’s awkward in the beginning, the lips not always perfectly aligned, but by the end they totally get into it and I think my body temperature rose about 10 degrees in 10 seconds. While I still think Annie has more potent chemistry with C.Wu, she’s got enough going on with C.Wang that the rest of the OTP journey for this drama is just starting to get good. The OTP scenes in this drama remain absolutely adorable, and now, potentially sexy as all heck.

First to comment! When I watched the episode on Friday, I was thinking Ockoala is probably going to do a write up about this although she hasn't been doing regular recaps of The Inborn Pair. True enough here it is! The drama is really pretty fun and entertaining and I do love the OTP. I have only seen Chris on the travel programme and never knew that he could act. His portrayal of the character is just "qia tao hao chu" - right up to the point of perfection.
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning, ockoala! You just made my day! :D
And... this reminds me of a scene in the movie Leap Year.

Oh my! I thought it would just post a link. Delete it if you have to. *_* But, it's another kiss for our Sunday morning. :)
EXACTLY the scene i thought of as well! haha nothing's original anymore. booo! (but still apprecited the kiss!)
I was totally thinking the same thing! It felt like a rip off of the exact same scene in Leap Year. Nothing against the kiss, which was nice, but ugh for the grimace-inducing cheesy background music and the sleazy peeping Toms around them (taking pictures of another couple kissing - slightly weird -_-)
I think the older-person-forcing-a-non-couple-to-act-couple-y is a staple in rom-coms, especially Taiwan rom-coms. I remember thinking that when I watched Leap Year (horrible movie, by the way!). I tend to dislike these kind of scenes because they so contrived, but I can't help but say I really liked the kiss here between annie chen and chris wang. ^^
Leap Year was the first thing that came to mind for me too after watching this.
First found out about this drama here, and I decided to watch it when it aired cause I had nothing else to watch.. I am well and truly hooked.
IMO Chris Wu is waaaaay better looking and can act better than Chris Wang. Annie's acting also trumps Chris wang's.. But I do like the OTP together! Kekeke.
Honestly their kiss can't win the kisses in Lie To Me..! Those kisses were sizzling hot!
jeez that's one passionate kiss...and totally 2-sided, how rare is that! Just piqued my curiosity more...you did. But 43 episodes already?? How long is this drama supposed to be?
80 episodes. :) To be fair, the director said there won't be an extension. Haha!
I've been watching this from the beginning but you won't really feel like it's 43 episodes already. The story's a bit slow sometimes during the first few episodes, like nothing's happening, but there are adorable moments. What I like about this series is that they never drag the story, something new is always happening, and no one's really evil. I'm also watching Wild Romance and that's one complaint I have against that series. It drags the stalker issue too much.
I knew that you were going to talk about the kiss! I haven't seen a drama kiss as long and sensational since Secret Garden. The body gestures and shaky camera just added to the overall intensity. When Wei Xiang pulled Yi Jie closer towards him and began caressing her face, I was fidgeting with fangirl delight. THAT is how kisses should be executed. Imagine the result if they were alone in the hotel room together. I can't wait for tomorrow. Glad to see Wei Xiang finally taking initiative with romancing Yi Jie.
Oh bravo ! Well done. Now i need a cold shower...
*squealing non-stop*
I watched this on Friday.....My first thought-----THIS BEATS SECRET GARDEN.....HANDS DOWN!!!!!
I totally agree! I mean, Annie looks so much more into it than HJW lol!
I also saw this on Friday and thought to myself - wow... nice turn of events. Actually, I was laughing quite hard at the owner couple and the other couple as they tried really hard to get those two to show some PDA! :) They were a riot! But it was really good to see a kiss that might actually happen in real life as opposed to those horrible fake-ish ones. I knew that CW would be good at it... but I wasn't sure about Annie. They were sizzling at the end. :) Go daily dramas!!
But the older sister and her hubby - ehh... not sure I like where that story line is going. For some reason it reminds me of TFW.
Havent watched this drama but will now start. How funny that the guy in red took a pic!
