The musical chairs of TW-casting totally hit a homerun here and brought up a complete reunion of all four leads. This week TW-ent announced and upcoming anthology series titled Not Kind Enough Us (不夠善良的我們) with dual female leads Ariel Lin and Tiffany Ann Hsu playing onscreen romance rivals for 12 years. Man, is the It Started with a Kiss rivalry still ongoing haha! This time around it’s Ariel who is the Xiao San mistress who successfully steals the man from Ann. The male leads will be Mike He and Kai Ko both of whom have worked with Ariel before as well. The director also worked with Ariel on her last big hit TW-drama In Time With You. Good job Taiwan, way to pack together so much of my loves into one intriguing new project.
