Apparently the last SETTV Sunday night drama Deja Vu ended this past weekend, and I say apparently because all I heard were viewers railing at the ending nonsense but I didn’t watch it myself. Or maybe folks are pissed at the process, or like me, pissed that this entire dreck of a drama even existed in the first place so that a prime time slot got wasted for four months. Up next is Fall in Love with Me (Chinese title 愛上兩個我 Fall in Love with Two of Me), a drama that for all intents and purposes was merely a reunion vehicle for Aaron Yan and Puff Guo after their popular pairing last year in Just You (Chinese title 就是要你愛上我 Just Want to Make You Fall in Love with Me). If the similar sounding titles don’t give away the redux vibe, the drama stills and previews literally bash us over the head with it even if this time around Puff is off being happily pretend married to Heechul so Aaran needs to make do with Tia Li instead.
While neither Puff nor Tia will win any acting awards in their lifetime, Puff is actually animated and can occasionally be charming to watch. Puff was hideously screechy as befits her antagonist character in Miss Rose, but in Just You everything clicked and she was adorable even if overacting most of the time. Tia is just a complete fail thus far, I haven’t seen her actually succeed at any type of character, where antagonist (Office Girls), best friend (Miss Rose), or even cosplaying a maid (Hayate the Combat Butler). To give her a leading lady role is a huge leap of faith, and based on the previews I’m ready to call it already – FAIL. She is so stiff and most of her stiffness comes from the way she says her dialogue (like. reading. in. a. monotone. from. a. phone. book), with a bit from a face that doesn’t have a natural inclination to move. Whether this drama works or not, it’s premiering this Sunday on SETTV so check it out for real or trainwreck potential.
Poor Aaron is stuck playing a ridiculous two-fer of a character, by day he’s marketing wunderkind Lu Tian Xing, by night he’s marketing intern Xiao Lu, and everyone in the drama believes that the two men look alike but aren’t the same guy due to a pair of glasses and a different wardrobe. The official drama stills are the kicker, anyone who watched and followed along with Just You will immediately recognize iconic scenes such as naked Aaron in the shower getting accidentally spied on, the two leads playfully sitting together, and the leading lady pressed down on Aaron’s on the sofa.

Totally agree. Watched the preview and couldn't figure out how Tia's character was supposed to be feeling because her face was blank; can't even say she has the same expression in every scene
you're just jealous haha ..Tia is gorgeous, plastic surgery and all! now take that!
I don't find that she's stiff. If you watch all the episodes available and the BTS episodes, you'll find that it's just part of her character and that they have great chemistry is great. I like those two because Tia is calm and non-flirty which evens out the fact that Aaron keeps flirting with her. Unlike Aaron with Puff Guo, I feel that Puff Guo was even MORE flirty than Aaron which made me feel uncomfortable though they do have chemistry, I just prefer them to be friends.
Aaron has the ability to create firly good chemistry with his partner, hopefully it will show here. After so many years, with Korean and Chinese dramas improving leaps and bounds, Taiwanese ones are still falling behind. I really wonder why? Lack of good scripts, actors, producers? Almost everything? It is so sad.
I agree.. but I am hoping they will have good chemistry. Crossing finger since I like Aaron.
They're indeed pretty cute young couple....I'm following this drama and I find it so interesting funny and romantic....both lead actor and actress looks good together they both deliver their character so perfect and real....
Thank you someone shared the same sentiments. Just cos he wore glasses and a change of wardrobe, everyone can't tell it is the same person. So so ridiculous. What is the writer thinking? And that shower scene is so lame too cos its actually like Just You *sigh*
I actually start liking Aaron from that drama so I will try to watch this. Tia is really pretty and they look good together so hopefully her acting will improve. So far I'm not liking what I see in the preview *double sigh*
It's more about the personality, not the looks because Xiao Lu does look like Lu Tian Xing and he gets mistaken everywhere (in the drama). The shower scene is totally different because it is set differently and I hate to say this but Lu Tian Xing is stupid for thinking masking tape and a cloth will do the job.
All I see is naked wet Aaron.
And I like it
DV was 1000% a waste of time, energy and everything in between!! Ugh
Here's to another rumor in the foreseeable future for Aaron!!
We are curious how some of these second rate Taiwanese actors/actresses make a living with these lame unpopular dramas, some of them are already in their 30s. Do they all come from wealthy families like Sunny Wang???? At least the Koreans are prolific.
Now dont be too korean drama biased... The taiwanese ones arent as bad. They do a pretty good job. And also for your information Aaron Yan, Tia Li, Puff Guo, and a few others are also singers. So, acting probably isnt their number one strength. Korean dramas however sometimes copy and borrow other drama's plots and change it, so there isnt anything i find good lately.. Trot Lovers is a bit different from other k-dramas so imma give that one a try.^^
I. Just. Can. Not. Fathom. how anyone with brain cells would ever want to watch this trainwreck.
I would say it's mostly aaron yan's fangirls who don't care about his mediocre acting as long as they can look at his plastic "pretty" face. He's not the worst actor around, though. But he's definitely overrated...
your brain cells have been hit by a train and all that's left are gooey splatters. stop being a hater!
I might give this a chance. I haven't really seen a good TW drama for the past couple of years.
If you're watching In a good way then this is not even in the same league.
Iagw rocks. Best drama ever
What the...totally a Just You redux! They even have Kai-te/Kate! Haha I will watch for Aaron Yan but it's so cheesy.
