Before you guys come up with some sort of catchy name for the hyped Jerry Yan and Rainie Yang pairing like JerRainie or RainJer for the upcoming Fated to Love You spin-off/sequel, you can safely call off those potentially fun plans. The famed maleidol's name is no longer attached to new idol drama Drunken to Love You, and will instead be replaced by award-winning Taiwanese actor Joseph Chang of Au Revoir Taipei and Eternal Summer fame, where the cast and crew for the drama begins shooting next month.
With the overwhelming success of 2008's Taiwanese drama Fated,which captivated so many viewers in Taiwan that it received coverage bythe international press, it was only a matter of time before a sequelor spin-off would receive the green light by its producers tocapitalize on the original's success. And given the current low-ratingsclimate that has plagued even ratings hitmaker producers SETTV of subsequent successes such as Autumn's Concerto and My Queen, the channel responsible for the original Fated hopes that Drunken can reclaim their ratings winning streak.
The splash made by the original 2008 drama also propelled lead actor Ethan Ruan into stardom with movie role offerings, and also lead actress Joe Chen Qiao-En into greater fame with additional film opportunities. Ethan's own recent film success and later surprise win from the Golden Horse Awardsfor best actor has helped the Taiwanese actor garner at least severalmore movie roles for years to come. The consequence though is that theoriginal actors' venture into film has left a void in the lead rolesfor the planned spinoff/sequel.
SETTV originally strived to further their bold gamble by trying to snagveteran idol drama actors Jerry Yan and Rainie Yang as replacements forthe previous Ethan Ruan-Joe Chen pairing, an unorthodox move andpossibly headline-grabbing coup given both Jerry and Rainie's long-timehistory in idol dramas on rival channels. Since producers were unableto get a lock on Jerry for the lead actor role though, the channel gota nice consolation prize with their newest replacement in prized actorJoseph Chang.
With Rainie's recent Golden Bell Awards win of best actress for her work in Hi My Sweetheart,being paired with an established and well-acclaimed actor such asJoseph Chang is an interesting turn of events. This is because --coincidentally or not -- it falls in line with Rainie's recentaspirations to transition herself from idol actress to someone to betaken more seriously.
In related news, the current director for Drunken had previously been working on a different drama in mainland China before filming had to be suspended. That drama was called I Have a Date with Spring, which many of you know as the drama that Selina Jen of S.H.E fame was filming before her tragic accident.
It’s confirmed!Rainie Yang and Joseph Chang will star in SETTV’s upcoming drama “Drunken to Love You*”.Director Chen Ming Zhang will return to SETTV for the first time since2008's "Fated to Love You" to direct on the spin-off. And just arefresher for those who haven’t been following this story, his mostrecent work was the ill-fated “I Have A Date With Spring” which endedin a tragic accident.
Rainie Yang participated in a press event for “Drunken to Love You” on the 14th. She shocked many when shecut off her signature long locksback in December. The newly crowned Golden Bell Best Actress said"Drunken" has a great script and her new look will go with hercharacter’s toughness. She also revealed she has created a new style ofhumor for the role which she hopes will start a new trend. And in thegrand tradition of SETTV dramas, "Drunken" will feature a steamy bedscene between Rainie Yang and her costar Joseph Chang. She said, “I’msomeone that gets nervous even when it's just a kissing scene.Sometimes when I read about the bed scene in the script, I’d think tomyself, ‘Why did I accept this [drama]?”
At the event, Rainie Yang learned to sketch a wild boar from 79year-old contemporary artist Wu Hao. The drawing will be a symbol oflove between the two protagonists in "Drunken". After receivingcompliments for her drawing skill, Yang explained she was actuallypretty good at it when she was young; it’s just that her skill levelhas stayed the same since then.
