Skip Beat

        "Skip Beat!" is a TV series based on the same name Japanese manga. It aired on TV on 2011. Honestly, I watched this drama just because of the manga at first, but I really like it after all. The main actress really made the character alive just like the manga.

         The drama is about a girl, Gong Xi who abandoned by her mother since she was small in an spring water hotel and the owners of the hotel took care of her and trained her to be a model housewife in order to make her and their only son, Bu Po Shang get married when they grow up. She loves Shang since they was small and follows him everywhere. After they graduated from high school, Shang asks Gong Xi to go to Taipei to chase for his dream, becoming a famous artist. Gong Xi agrees immediately without thinking a bit. In Taipei, Gong Xi works three jobs in the same time to support their household and to let Shang stays home and composes songs. He becomes a famous singer right after his first debut and he starts to avoiding Gong Xi because he thinks that she is an old-fashion girl. One day, Gong Xi goes to Shang's company to deliver lunch for him and she overheard Shang says to his manager that he just sees Gong Xi as to maid. Gong Xi pisses off and swears that she will take her revenge on him by becoming a artist that more famous than him. She uses all ways to get into the Taiwan largest talent agency where she meets Lian, the most favorite artist voted by audiences of whole country. Lian pays attention on Gong Xi right at the beginning when she tries to get into the company because he thinks that she is weird and interesting. Gong Xi fails when she attends the test to get in the training program of the company but the chairman of the company lets her join the company in a new department, Love Me club, that is created because of her. Her job is accomplish the order that whoever asks her to get the scores so she can debut as an artist. Lian is picking on her at first because he doesn't agree with her purpose, taking revenge on Bu Po Shang. However, after he sees all of her fortitude and recognize her talent at acting, he changes his point of view about her and starts to help her to improve her acting career. While they are filming a TV series together, Lian discover his love for Gong Xi and he tries to resist it because he always thinks that he doesn't deserve to love or to be loved by anyone. Gong Xi is the one that make him starts to open his heart to feel love and care. 

       I love this drama and all the characters in the drama. There is some people who always picking on others to get what they want but they are not bad. They just to childish and stubborn to accept their deficiencies. I love the manga more, of course, but this drama is good enough in my opinion. The main actress portrayed the character impressively.
