Summer x Summer

I stumbled upon this series by accident, but I am glad I did. Although it is a bit rough around the edges, and maybe even somewhat cheesy in areas, it is very heartwarming. I really didn't think I would like it, but I am always on the lookout for good drama. The story is touching if a bit familiar. Joe Cheng plays Ouyang Lei, a very obnoxious, but somehow lovable teen model who can have his choice of girls. Of course he falls for the least "suitable" girl. An annoying, "unattractive", but very honest, determined and loyal girl, Xia Ya (played by Cai Yi Zhen). In addition to their storyline, is the story of Lei's sister and the school's kendo captain. Although it is a side story, it in itself is adorable and entertaining.

As I said, it may have a bit of cheese (what good drama doesn't?!), but it is a very sweet movie.... Hmm, cheesy but sweet, that's kinda like cheesecake. And I love cheesecake. Overall, it is definitely worth watching.
