28/11/12 Love, Now episode 18 真愛趁現在 第十八集

28/11/12 Love, Now episode 18 真愛趁現在 第十八集
After George tells Bobby that he wants to pursue Annie, he asks Bobby for his help, at first Bobby is quite taken aback by this. I think as a viewer we know that Bobby has feelings for Annie, but he himself is not sure whether this is just caring about a friend or love... he gets jealous but he thinks that this is just his playboy nature, I think he is just reluctant to accept the fact of having to give up his 'fishes'. Bobby advises George on things that Annie like and one of these is a pet mouse...
George buys the pet mouse and takes it to Annie's work and waits for her to arrive... He presents the mouse to Annie but she is reluctant to accept his gift. However upon seeing George struggling with his allergy and knowing he wont be able to take care of the cute mouse Annie agrees to look after the mouse. George sees this as a good sign and thinks that Annie is warming to him but in reality she is just a kind-hearted person towards everyone. (the mouse was adorable hehe). If a guy goes to extreme measures like risking an allergy to get you a present I think this should be applauded!
Then we get to the bit where Annie is talking to her dad about the two guys in her life... I can totally see why Annie's dad doesn't like George, I think all fathers would be the same after the way he treated his daughter when they had the misunderstanding... however, when Annie's dad was talking to George he was saying how he would respect his daughter's decision but then when he is advising Annie he talks about his views on why she shouldn't choose George :'(
I think this conversation is quite monumental, this clearly shows the stance of Annie, however I think the story is a bit choppy, a couple episodes back when Annie first finds out that George remembered her since university she was very touched and I thought she has expressed some sort of feeling, but from the conversation with her dad it seems as if she just doesn't want any relationship at all!!
On the other hand, George is very happy with the progress he is making on his relationship with Annie... He think he is doing very well, I think he is converting to the happier and more easy going guy his aunty described he was before he had to take on the family business. I think he is opening up more and he definitely smiles more :D. However I have a  feeling that his family are going to be a cause of trouble sooner or later and will intervene in all the wrong ways in his relationship.
At the end of the episode we see George gathers up the courage to call Annie again and I loved the bit where he had to take a breath of air before he spoke... but I think that the excuse he gave to ask Annie out for a date was not the best of ideas...
Can't wait till next episode to see what happens on this 'date'... can just tell something will go wrong!

27/11/12 Love, Now episode 17 真愛趁現在 第十七集

27/11/12 Love, Now episode 17 真愛趁現在 第十七集

In all honestly I was quite disappointed with this episode... After the confession I was hoping that we would see more of Annie and George but I think there was only 10 minutes of them together...
Nonetheless I think that this was because we need to see the part where George initiates the pursuing plan!
I am starting to doubt whether or not Annie will actually really love George as much as he loves her :(
I was watching the bit where George's Aunty was talking to Annie's dad and talking about when George was younger... Did she not say or did I miss the bit where she says who the person who betrayed George was?!?!
I'm hoping that Bobby will help George and Annie to get together but then again we need the person to stir up the relationship haha.... Though the thing is I don't know how this drama is going to last 80 episodes, I just hope that it will be interesting and not just something they drag and drag...,
Sorry this is a bit of a short and moany entry but as not much happened with Annie an George there isn't much to say :(

What are your views on the drama so far, or right now?

22/11/12 Love, Now episode 15 真愛趁現在 第十五集


Sorry for the late update guys. But here we go with episode 15.
Yay!! This was a really exciting episode; at last Annie finally gets to find out that she knew George way before their holiday romance! So in this episode Annie really gets to know George better, even though this was through filming in a business matter but nonetheless, we could see that Annie was really warming to George J. When George took Annie to the university, she was still totally oblivious to the fact that they were in the same year, but I don’t blame her I wouldn't remember a thing about lending someone a pen in a exam (I'm pretty sure you will be disqualified if you did that anyway but oh well this is a drama!). I love the part where the pair were outside the classroom and George finally digs out the pen and starts talking about the story of the pen and how much it means to him and how the pen represented his time before he had the burden of the family business, this was really touching and heartfelt and we really got to know George’s character a lot better I feel.
I think the highlight was when everything clicked for Annie once they sat down in the classroom; at last she now knows they had been brought together by fate as early as their time at University! I think the sweetest moment was when Annie asks ‘you even remember such a small thing’ and to this George replies ‘ I've always remembered you’. Just thinking of the words carefully really show you how much Annie means to George and also the image he must of built up of her from their encounter in that particular place. I think this episode we can really see how much Annie must have meant to George and we can understand his anger when he ‘found out’ that the girl of his dreams for 6 years had lied to him.
I think after this revelation of the pen, Annie was really really  confused with her feelings, for me I think that Annie does have feeling for George, but I think she is trying to write it off, and she keeps denying the fact that the emotions are stirring up inside her. I think that Annie believes her feeling developed and ended on the holiday.
When I think their love story has only just begun so we need to keep watching and support this couple! Can’t wait to see what happens next.

26/11/12 Love, Now episode 16 真愛趁現在 第十六集

26/11/12 Love, Now episode 16 真愛趁現在 第十六集
The Confession!! Maybe I shouldn't say this but as much as I love Annie and George, I think Bobby Dou's character is portrayed really well in this drama, I love his overconfidence to everyone else but he is very obedient and mellow towards Annie, he definitely makes the best second male lead :).
So the episode starts off with the office scene where Annie is using the pen George returned, I was a bit shocked she was using the pen, clearly it doesn't mean a lot to her :0:0 if it was me I would have boxed it up and left it at home!! However this does lead us onto seeing that the pen also has some sort of sentimental value for Annie as well! This is where I really applaud Bobby's acting, he portrays the typical 'I don't care, I'm a playboy, she is only just a girl' but actually he is just suppressing his feeling and that the jealously is clearly visible ahaha lol.
Then we get to the phone call, and yet again I think Bobby brings a lot of humour to the drama, without him and George's auntie this drama wouldn't be half as good!!
I found it so funny when Bobby says 'I'm the boss and I'm not picking up the phone, you go get it' and then Annie goes and picks up the phone and the Bobby's ears prick up when he hears that it is George haha LOL
So this brings us to the dinner, I could feel the awkwardness! Poor Annie stuck in the middle of two men who love her, but she 'doesn't' love either. Even though I would have loved to have seen more of this awkward situation develop, I think what followed was much better hehe...
I think this is the first time George does not feel threatened by the presence of Bobby, I think George has realised here that there is nothing going on between Annie and Bobby so he plucks up the courage to confess to Annie, poor Annie was so confused as to what George was talking about at the beginning. But when she did realise she hurried away, she just seems to spend her time running away from George!!
~~ I love the way this drama is written, there are so many heart gripping moments where you just feel so attached to the characters!!
Next in the episode we get to see both characters reflect on their situation separately, firstly there is George, I had an emotional moment when he asked himself had he hurt Annie too much or whether she just didn't feel for him anymore :'( ~ don't worry George she definitely has feelings for you!!!
Then it was Annie, I still can't quite judge whether or not she really did love George when their were on holiday or that she was just really really moved by his actions?!?! But I definitely think there is an element of love, but it is just that it has not had enough time to grow!!

So, overall this was a really good episode and a lot of heart felt emotions for me !!!
Anticipating the next episode!! ~~~ keep watching guys, leave a comment to discuss the episode :)

21/11/12 Love, Now episode 14 真愛趁現在 第十四集

So after a week and a bit we finally get to see the confrontation! I really like how Annie came downstairs really annoyed and still really angry with George, and George has to apologize sincerely, I think we have finally seen the last of the cold exterior for George now... Thank goodness!
I loved seeing George being really worried and anxious that Annie wouldn't forgive him, but the way he looks at Annie with his puppy dog eyes could make any girl melt!
However for me I was secretly hoping Annie wouldn't let him off too easily so we could see a bit more of them on screen together and have some more scenes hehe...(wishful thinking)
Another highlight for me was when Annie went back indoor and told Bobby that nothing happened and that all ties would be cut after they finish the project, I am really anticipating what happens and as we all know this 'cutting off all links' will definitely not be what happens haha... Anyway seeing Bobby getting really jealous also makes us laugh :D
So this brings us near to the end of the episode but wait... There is still the part where George cancels all of his appointments for the rest of the day so he could do Annie's 'interview' haha well at least Annie really believes this but as we know George just want to confess his love... I found it really funny how Annie kept cutting him up when he started to talk about the pen (the special pen that she lent him at university!!) and then George I finally gets the perfect opportunity to say it but the the guy making tea comes in haha, typical drama style LOL....
Anyway, as you can probably tell I am officially addicted to this drama!

Please leave a comment to discuss anything, or give me some ideas of what you want me to talk about in this blog ~~~

20/11/12 Love, Now episode 13 真愛趁現在 第十三集

Yay!!! Finally the episode where George finds out the truth!!! After the confrontation at the hospital I was wondering what will happen but luckily George's aunty spilled the real truth!!! I was so excited! However I was a tad scared when George heard the truth, his facial expression was really serious and I was wondering as to whether or not he was going to banish the story, but luckily he was very logical!!
When he went home and started getting out his book of memories with Annie I thought that was extremely sweet... It also displayed the lovey dovey George that melts everyone's heart... At this point all I wanted was for him to apologise...
Then here starts his mission to apologise... I loved the part when he was practicing in the car, deliberating as to how to address Annie.
I think the bit where he goes to Annie company is really good idea, I think this is the part which truly convinces George that all that Annie has said is all true and that she didn't mean to lie and more importantly the holiday romance was for real!!!
Yay so this was an extremely good episode! Can't wait for the actual apology ~~~

19/11/12 Love, Now episode 12 真愛趁現在 第十二集

I've just finished watching episode 12 and to be honest I think my highlight must have been the preview for episode 13! But nevertheless episode 12 has its own appeal! ... 80 eps seems so far away :( anyway back to our favourite couple Annie an George, if I'm all honest I am finding this whole revenge thing really tedious! Also I think this is putting George in a bad light! (I just want lovey dovey George back hehe) I think that the way George went out of his way to prank Annie was just over the top, even though when he turns up at the factory I was wondering whether or not that was George trying to check whether or not she was ok?! :0 but bobby being there was a really good idea, you could see the jealousy that came from George haha... But then again when Bobby gets hurt and Annie goes to help him you could see the pain in her eyes, the pain that she felt seeing George treating her and people around her like this just over a lie that she supposedly initiated?!? When will he find out the truth????? Then there is the scene in the hospital, I was hoping that that was when Annie explains the whole story right from the beginning~~~
Nonetheless I have truly fallen in love with this series and from the preview for ep 13 it seems as if George has some enlightenment, we'll have to wait and see...
I just can't wait to see the part where he finds out that Annie was also in the dark in this so called lie... I just hope that this revenge doesn't go on for too long and push George and Annie too far apart that it will be unrealistic if they get back together!
~~~ continue watching guys xx

First Blog!! 真愛趁現在 Episode 1-11 Review so far of Leading Couple ANNIE CHEN AND GEORGE HU

Hey Guys...
So this is my first post, I've been following 真愛趁現在 from episode 1 and I absolutely love it and i love joining blogs to discuss about drama and TV shows but i have found that there aren't many discussions going on out there, so i thought I'd start my own one!

So my opinion so far... I think the story is really sweet and especially at the beginning when George falls head over heels in love with Annie :) I think the way he pursues her is so cute and very sensitive... we get the biggest hint very early on that both do not like being lied to and for George it is his ultimate "hate"... as their love develops on their holiday, I think everyone will agree as a girl you would fall for any guy that goes to these extents to fulfil your wishes so I wasn't  surprised that even after such a short 'romance' Annie agreed to marry George...
After they married i thought about how the story would develop and how they could drag a story on for 80 eps, but as script writers can, i can see why now, i think Annie running away was a good idea and especially when George is all lost and trying to find his love i think this shows the real loving and faithful man he is and for him Annie was not just a holiday fling!
Next is when George finally sees Annie back in Taiwan, it all honestly I was anticipating a little bit more of a dramatical scene, the scene was a bit short lived for my expectations and also the trick of when the phone rings to break off the conversation is just a tad too old school for me... find some other way script writer(s)!!!
Then came the mishap of timing and not getting to tell the truth and the sudden twist in the story with Bobby's lawsuit... I was not surprised at all when George found out about Annie lying and being more than furious... typical misunderstanding when he coincidentally walks in on a conversation... i think everyone knew that this would hit a nerve with George and he would do something rash towards Annie and then we would see this revenge plan hurting them both....
For a few episode I thought that this revenge was a good added bonus to make the show more interesting and longer and also push Annie away so that George can pursue her again but  now that i am on episode 11, i am thinking that this revenge plan is getting a bit tedious... I kinda feel that there is a need now to let him know the truth, and now that George's aunt know the truth why doesn't she just say!!! His grandmother is also annoying trying to set him up with the Doctor!

Hope you guys like this post and please leave a comment as to how I can improve or give me some ideas of what you want me to write about! Please feel free to recommend me drama's as well!
