Hey all! I’ve been totally forgetful when it came to watching Asian dramas and I’d like to apologise to all of you who have been waiting around to see what dramas I would have suggested monthly. Well, I’m back on it and I will try my hardest to keep up with this each month from now on!

This month’s drama, a little early for February but nonetheless is Smiling Pasta, a Tawainese Romantic Comedy.
Type: Comedy, Romance
Country: Taiwan
Storyline:
Xiao Shi, your average girl has the worse luck with love. She has been bestowed with a 3-months curse by Ah Zhe. One night while wishing on a shooting star for luck in love, she accidentally drops her coffee mug from her balcony onto a passer-by’s car. Little does she know that this stranger would become a big part of her life.
 |
The next day, she goes on a date with her 17th boyfriend in celebration of what would be their three month anniversary. However he dumps her for another girl on that day. Downcast, she roams the streets as she has not been able to break this curse after 17 tries. Meanwhile He Qun, an idol in disguise is fleeing the press after an encounter with his girlfriend Rita, and happens to bump into Xiao Shi in a rather compromising position, a “kiss”.
As He Qun is accustomed to the frenzy the paparazzi usually creates, he runs off dragging Xiao Shi with him and they seek refuge at his house. The media have worked overtime and by morning, it’s all over the news.
When Xiao Shi and He Qun wake up the press get them by surprise and they are forced by He Qun’s manager, Vincent to form a fake relationship under contract, where Xiao Shi is He Qun’s girlfriend of one year and fiancée. However Xiao Shi secretly likes Ah Zhe and He Qun loves Rita….
Will the “couple” last past 3 months? How will Rita feel about this new development? How does Ah Zhe fit into all of this? Will there be any sparks in the relationship? You have to watch it to find out! ^__^
My Opinion:
This was actualy a nice light-hearted drama, the characters’ antics were quite similar to an anime. While for some that may be childish, to me it was very fun to watch because the characters are very animated. The love story among the 4 main characters (Xiao Shi, He Qun, Rita, Ah Zhe) was rather interesting but I don’t want to give any spoilers so I’ll zip it hahaha. Anyway watch it for yourself 🙂
XOXO
