Even though I’m squarely on the Mi En-Han Xiang ship in Fondant Garden, I’m looking forward to the burgeoning friendship between Mi En and Hee Hwan. Their upcoming little trip looks fun with a side of cute. With Han Xiang about to meet the real Ai Lin in Seoul, and the little lady continues to compound the lies by saying that her name is Mi En, the love square is about to get sooooo good. I can’t get over the fact that Mi En saved Han Xiang’s number in her cell phone as “Samgetang”. If she had Hee Hwan’s number, it would probably be filed under the name “Annoying Weirdo”. Oh why isn’t it Friday night yet? *pouts*
New Preview for episode 4:
Hee Hwan wants to go breath some fresh air and Mi En is too nice to let him go alone in his current state.
Title card: The mischievous devil meets the warm-hearted Mi En.
Han Xiang tries to call Mi En but can’t reach her.
Title card: The Handsome prince loses communication with the fake Ai Lin.
Mi En explains to Hee Hwan that the cake he ruined wasn’t just a cake, it all presents her father’s life work. Hee Hwan makes fun of Mi En for being really ugly when she cries, but then gives her tissue to wipe her tears.
Title card: The mischievous devil comforts Mi En’s sorrow.
Han Xiang meets up with Ai Lin in Seoul, but Ai Lin continues the charade and tells Han Xiang that her name is Cheng Mi En. Ai Lin gets drunks and tries to seduce Han Xiang.
Title card: The Handsome prince meets the real Ai Lin.
Hee Hwan thinks that Mi En isn’t pretty, but why does he find her cute?
This show is only Friday? Hmmm, It’s gonna a loooong summer!
Anyway, I like it! I’m new with tw drama, It was hard because of the language, but now I’m used to it. Their style is different from k-drama, it’s more open, light, and the kissing scenes are much better (I can’t stand the kisses of k-drama – 90% are too fake).
Lol yeah I agree, all the kdramas im watching at the mo have all been fail in that aspect. There’s very few that have realistic kissing and in one drama I just finished, the girl got pregnant yet had no skinship with the male lead whatsoever! No kiss, no peck, not even a bump of lips.
Though I remember a time when twdramas used to be like that, with very chaste kissing. Think it was around the time when They Kiss Again stepped it up with a bed scene, which kinda broke that barrier in twdrama land. Next thing you know Fated To Love You and every other drama after had a lot more action in the romance department! haha.
But anyway, cant wait for Ep4 of Fondant. Few hours to go. ^^ Im pretty happy for any of the relationships to go either way, all the pairings are adorable.
was it history of the salaryman LOL
Not quite friday night. But… it’s friday! 😀 So looking forward to this episode. I love this show. First show where I don’t not like anyone ^^
Kingone is so charming in this drama! When will they ever have a drama with him as the main lead and not the second male lead?! He rightfully deserves a drama to shine!!
i know right.. I always wanted him to be the main lead since Devil Beside You days but not in this one either? 🙁 think he is more handsome than the other guy.
ahh.. Real life what have you done to me. =P I am behind. I have not watch episode 3 yet. Koala unni, will you do at least a baby recap of the episodes. Pretty Please…. =D
Episode 4 was SO GOOD. XD Sorry, sweetie, I don’t have time to recap.
Hee Hwan is such a friggin’ brat that it makes it hard to watch, being an entitled chaebol is one thing but he’s more like a spoilt 6 year old. And the way that the rest of the character’s bend to his tantrums is even worse – its so infuriating, HAN XIANG FTW.
anyone know, what is the name of the song?
How is this drama? i heard that it is too typical with a very predictable storyline. Honest review anyone?
Taiwanese drama-wise, I’m only watching Skip Beat! and this. Honestly, I’m a little bit in love with the insanity that is Skip Beat! but that’s mainly because of my love for Siwon and Ivy, as well as the lovely friendship between Gong Xi and Qin (not enough of her in the show, to be honest). Because if I have to pick apart the plot, I’d probably have too much to say about the show, and not very nice things either.
As for Fondant Garden, I fell in love from the first episode! I don’t eager anticipate each episode but it’s so sweet and the plot actually makes sense! It’s also not over-the-top, and I quite like both guys for Mi En. I love the behind the scenes too because Park Jung Min is adorable with his Mandarin. And I always think his voice at the end of each preview where he speaks in Mandarin telling viewers to watch the next week’s episode is so so incredibly cute!
Aw this is why I rather watch kdrama, twdrama only airs once a week. This bothers me a lot, don’t like waiting heheh >< anyway, thanks ockoala, but do you mind to include a link to the video when you have a video posted up cos I can't watch it from my tablet/ mobile. Dw if you prefer not to put it up. Thanks a lottt
quick question: Does tw drama follow the live-filming schedule that kdramas tend to have?
sort of, they tend to film at least an early bulk of the drama ahead of time and complete the drama as it airs depending on audience response. But that also depends from drama to drama, it’s not always the case.
Just finished watching ep 4 and enjoyed it! Can’t wait for ep 5! Such a good preview!
My apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but I don’t know where else to do so. I’d love to watch this drama, but I don’t understand Chinese. Where could I find English soft subs? Since my inet connection is slow, streaming really doesn’t work. Thank you.
sugoideas.com does do eng sub but it is streaming. There’s a download section though so you can see if they have it avail for dl there.
Thank you so much^^
I watch it here – http://www.kimchidramas.net/. 🙂
Is it just me or does Park Jung Min look like Johnny Depp from Charlie and the Charlie Factory? (And not in a good way). Every time he flashes those overly-white teeth and unnatural doll-eyes I strangle an impulse to shriek and run away to hide in small dark space. It certainly doesn’t help that he plays such an annoyingly bratty character. How the heck did Kingone lose out on the male lead to this guy?
agree that Park Jung Min look like the character from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. i don’t like his fake smile..
Kingone is so much better.. hehehe..
Yes, Kingone FTW!!!
i read somewhere that Kingone’s role (Hanxiang) is one who is willing to sacrifice his love life in order to gain recognition from his father and grandmother, and the subsequent episodes will have him eventually giving up his relationship with Mi-en, thinking that as long as he gain recognition from his family, he will be happy. but he was wrong, from the time he decide to give up his relationship with Mi-en, his happiness left him too.. T-T
i prefer the pairing of Hanxiang and Mi-en. They are so sweet to the power of infinity! =)
I think it’s so unfair that Kingone is once again given the supposedly “bad” guy character who breaks the main girl’s heart. Obviously, that’s the only way they can get the audience to root against him because otherwise everyone would want him to end up with the girl. But if they just adjusted the story a teeny bit, he can be the main lead even with his current character. URRRRGGG!!!
Koala it’s your fault that I started this drama. Now I’m hooked and i’m being tortured because they only air one episode a week.
I’m also rooting for Kingone to get the girl (unfortunately we all know that’s not going to happen because he’s not the main lead..sad).
