New TW-drama alert, and this coming hot on the heels of Rainie Yang filming her first drama in three years and Joe Cheng‘s drama coming soon, I think an old school revival is headed our way. Mike He just started filming a new TW-drama called Bravely Say I Love You for the cable network CTI and will mark their first self-produced drama. Mike is shedding his usual image of the cold chaebol character, or as the Taiwanese call it “tall, rich, handsome” types, and will be a playing a single dad suffering through depression and hitting a life low. Playing his daughter is popular child entertainer Ella Wilkins, who along with another popular child actress Le Le who did Two Fathers is splitting the cute precocious little girl roles between them. Mike’s co-star this time around is Alice Ke, who I like a lot but hasn’t done a drama in years since Office Girls that is worth watching. The daily Gong Hay Fat Choy is notable only for producing the real life couple that is Alice with her co-star Kun Da, and late last year she did the cable drama Dragon Gate with Sunny Wang and Tammy Chen which was one giant hot messicle. Actually, the same goes for Mike in not having a watchable drama since Sunny Happiness with Janine Chang – his subsequent dramas like Love Keeps Going with Cyndi Wang or Spring Love with Da Yuan were barely serviceable stories but completely unwatchable due to those dramas having leading ladies utterly incapable of acting even a smidge. I’m totally onboard with the unexpected Mike-Alice pairing and the story with a single dad finding love and career revival again at least tosses out the over-the-top set up from the get go and goes for something more low key and realistic. Mike is getting older and I am happy he’s playing a daddy for a change.
His body language and forced smile speak volume, all awkward and uncomfortable towards the child but pretending to be all cool and fatherly.
Think so too LOL.
Totally agree!
Awww Mike looks totally adorable with the kid. I think he’s fond of children; I remember seeing some behind the scenes with him and some kids years ago.
I’m looking forward to his other drama with Ady – what the heck ever happened with that anyway?!? Spring love was a joke so I hope both his upcoming dramas are atleast watchable, bcz I totally adore him.
I agree what happened to that I thought it was supposed to air like in December or something
still hoping for a mike-rainie reunion..i still felt robbed from their last collaboration why why love from the wtf ending..
Oh, I can’t wait. This little girl looks cute. Thanks Cap K.
LMAO ”I have to look lovely” ”We look good together right?”
Lol! Yeah, I usually like him but he looks like he’s trying to hard here.
So awkward. Even kid looks like she doesn’t want to be kissed!
How bout his drama with Ady An? Is it cancelled?
Yeah, I was looking forward to that one too. Has it been shelved?
Yup, it definitely looked too forced here, even for the girl.
Se esta haciendo maduro,,y con el su carrera artistica,,solo espero su trabajo para apreciarlo y le deseo exitos,,siempre como una buena admiradora
Mike He and Ady new show will be air on Dramafever some time soon. I saw ep 1-9 on Viki but it has begin remove or cancel. but hopeful Dramafever hurry up and air it soon
