I don’t think this news is purely publicity generating for the currently airing TW-drama Someone Like You, the drama has a few more episodes left in its run and has been doing swell enough in ratings. With that said, take this with a grain of salt but feel free to squee about it anyway. TW-media is reporting that insiders on the set of SLY have come to believe that romance is brewing behind the scenes with leads Kingone Wang and Kristen Jen. Despite the 8-year age difference and their initial awkwardness working together for the first time, in the last four months the two have reportedly grown exceedingly close on set.
A few instances have caught the eye of production staff -a staffer bringing Kristen an umbrella after a scene and she immediately goes to share it with Kingone, the two always dining together at the staff lunch and Kristen was seen feeding her food to Kingone plus sharing her drink with him, Kristen’s family is reportedly clued in and big sister Selena Jen‘s cameo recently was so she could come and meet Kingone herself. I find the last bit LOL because Selena was all over Lego Lee when Kristen did In a Good Way, making me wonder if the Jen family is using Kristen’s acting jobs to help find her a handsome good man. I would be thrilled if Kingone and Kristen really was falling for each other in real life but right now the jury is out based on just the first report.

I am loving this drama. Specially the OST! This is my first Taiwanese drama (of the few I have watched) that totally hooks me up with the music.
Ms Koala, I have one question: i find it curious that Kingone's character is the owner of a shopping mall just like the hero in Master's Sun. They both walk around checking for thing to be good, etc. they are even "famous" for being the owners of the mall. Is that a drama thing or in East Asia (trying not to generalize!!) mall owners are that known? Important?
Well regardless shippers can enjoy it so it's nice either way
I wouldn't mind seeing the reel couple in them in SLY turning them into a real-life couple. They are gorgeous and adorable together, why not, right? It has happened before, like in K-Drama's Creating Destiny couple. And now they're married and just recently had their first baby. Talk about them creating their own destiny, indeed. :)
I've been seeing comments about this on FB and IG. Some, of course, are happy, but a few are skeptical with the accuracy due to the timing of its release. From what I've been reading, SLY's ratings have been slipping the past couple of episodes, and for this kind of article to come out right now and the sources are the drama's staff, makes people think its from SANLI. But who knows? They seem close on their BTS, so its a possibility. :)
That's sweet. :) And my delulu heart is thinking, mebbe the initial awkwardness is attraction.
Y'know? How you can barely speak to someone you like?
These are all just delulu musings though. But any happy couple dating news is okay with me.
Exactly. That's why this news isn't surprising at all. However, Kirsten is genuinely a very friendly, bubbly girl and I've yet to see her not find a way to be lived by her male co-stars.
I'll take it while it lasts.
The only time I've ever shipped an onscreen couple off-screen was RongRong & Lego, before I snapped out of it, and remembered it's none of my damn business. Whether this is true or not, I wish them both happiness. But if it IS true, it might explain why I am totally buying their chemistry in the Drama despite finding all the promo stuff to be stiffer and colder than frozen cardboard.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's true. I liked them both.
Off-topic: Koala there is a list of the most streamed korean shows in China that came out please could you translate that article and publish it here since alot of comments interest will come with it. Thanks in advance!
Although I wouldn't be opposed to this pairing, my shipper heart is still bias towards Lego Lee and Kirsten Ren. Love them! <3 =D I am hoping for a reunion drama for soon. But in regards to her personal life I wish her happiness.
