Smiling Pasta

After almost 3 weeks, I have finished this 17-episode 2006 Taiwanese drama, Smiling Pasta. It stars Cyndi Wang as Cheng Xiao Shi and Nicholas Teo as He Qun.

Plot:

"Xiao Shi is a girl who has gone through many short relationships, 17 to be exact, not one lasting more than 3 months hence, she was cursed with a three-month curse. After being dumped by her 17th boyfriend, the world looks grimmer than ever. At that time, a famous idol, He Qun runs past, bumps into Xiao Shi, and they end up "kissing" on the street. Paparazzi swarmed by and to avoid a bad reputation, He Qun’s manager declared Xiao Shi as He Qun’s girlfriend of one year and fiancée. Thus, a love contract was made. This story is about how the couple learns to like each other after having disagreements in the beginning, as well as fighting the injustices the media throw at them. Will Xiao Shi finally break her 3 month curse?"

The title really is very apt to the show itself. Smiling Pasta. This one is very comedic yet romantic on the other side. They do have chemistry even their parents and some friends. Ika nga nila, "sobrang cheesy talaga." All of them are all funny especially Xiao Shi's family. Quarrel scenes are in a way comedic. This one also teaches everyone of family value as well. Media is the antagonist here in the love story of He Qun and Xiao Shi. Another one is He Qun's ex-girlfriend, Rita who had returned feelings for He Quen after breaking up with Ah Zhe. Well, her character is not that scheming like any other antagonist who wants to get the person they want. Well, rate: 4.7/5. Try this one!
