Hi My Sweetheart also known as Play Boy and Sweetheart / Shanghai Sweetheart is a 2009-2010 romantic-comedy series with Show Luo, Rainie Yang, Lee Wei and Maggie Wu. It has 14 episodes.
Xue Hai <Show Luo> was a certifiable dork when he first arrived in Hangzhou. After his schoolmate Bao Zhu <Rainie Yang> saved him from bullying, she became his first love. Then, a misunderstanding caused them to lose contact when she moved back to Taiwan. He thought she dumped him. So he transformed himself from a dork to a hunk in order to seek revenge. –DramaWiki
A dork turning into a hottie is always been interesting story.. Haha. I loved how the innocent Da Lang would always be so friendly to Bao Chu and how she slowly started to become nicer and nicer. I also liked their Pink Panther dance- it was really funny. Yes, indeed, weird things are funny. I really liked it when Xue Hai (sorry for continually changing names) was always so nice and kind to everyone; his outer appearance didn’t matter anymore because his inner character makes up for it. Later, when Bao Chu “leaves” Xue Hai, he decides to completely transform into a handsome man that everyone wants to date. And indeed he did become so much better looking.
I like the two main idols together, would like to see them together again in more dramas.. The chemistry is there, they can work well with each other and get the acting just right with no sense of forced acting or too over the top. Even with a cliche and corny drama, their emotions were realistic. The storyline may have been a tad bit random and dragged over episode 12 to 13, it still was a good drama all in all.
Thumbs-up for the soundtrack. 🙂
