Drama: Hi My Sweetheart

I have recently finished watching this Taiwanese drama (that was how my nights were spent in the past 2-3 weeks; and no TVB *sob*). When I first saw the drama, I thought the title could be better. Its title in Chinese is 海派甜心, showcasing Show Lo and Rainie Yang as the main cast.

Taken from wiki - Xue Hai was a certifiable dork when he first arrived in Shanghai. After his schoolmate Bao Zhu 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.

This drama spans up to 14 episodes. I had almost given up watching during the first five episodes because of their lame acts. However, I continued watching as I had nothing better to do :p When it reaches the point where Xue Hai and Bao Zhu coupled, it got less bored. As stated in the excerpt taken from wiki above, there were trials and tribulations to their relationship before they finally got together (oops, spoiler).

It was sad that due to a misunderstanding, they drifted apart. She was raised in a rich family, He was a few times richer, but he identified himself as a poor boy. The reason was he wanted to find true friends, ones who will not approach him because of his wealth. The misunderstanding was caused by the the lady's Mom. Mom did not want her daughter to live her life with a poor dork and tried to separate them in many ways.

She did not have a chance to justify herself as she was involved in a terrible accident.
He did not know about the accident.
He thought it was a story of a rich girl fooling with a poor boy.
He left for his hometown.
They met in his hometown three years later.
She did not recognize him as he had totally transformed into a handsome-looking and most sought-after bachelor.
He began his revenge - to make her fall in love with him and then dump her.
I hated this part the most grrrrr.. just felt like hitting him in the face so much.

Why did he not have faith in her?
Given the same situation, would you leave? I think it is impossible to find someone who is persistent enough to not believe what he sees or hears unless it is from her own words.

The end. Got to go find the next 'candidate' from youtube again.
