New T-Drama: Down with Love" (就想賴著妳)

Just a little variant away from korean drama and variety shows....

Taiwanese drama just started on "Down with Love" (就想賴著妳) starring Jerry yan and Ella from S.H.E.

Watch
Episode 1
(with eng sub)

Plot
Basically Jerry Yan plays Yu Ping, a top-notch brillant lawyer who is good at divorce and inheritance lawsuits. While proficient in his job, he is a very cool, smart, sharp tongued guy and cold too. Not to mention he dislikes children but he had to care for the 2 niece and nephew as his brother died in a accident. The 2 made his life chaotic as they constantly play pranks on the nanny he hired, as they wanted to draw his attention. At absolute exasperation with the kids tactics as well as nannies hitting on him, he finally accepted his secretary suggestion to hire her sister as his nanny, with the assurance that her tomboyish sister will not fall in love with him by lying that she does not like men at all. This begins the cross path and tribulations of relation between the 2. Jerry has a best friend who is in love with Herry's love interest. Incidentally the love interest is some celeb resulting in the hush hush relationship below the media radar.

Ella Chen plays "Yang Guo" and the role of a nanny of two children. She and her sister used to be daughters of some wealthy family but was abandoned by their father when he went bankrupt. Unlike her shrewd sister, Ella's character is more innocent, naive and non calculative. She is under the thumb of her sister when it comes to "earning money". She was ditched by several bf because she was "boring and unsexy" and her first encounter with Jerry had been unplesant resulting in her losing her waitress job, thus ending up as his nanny.

Initial Review
I have seen the first ep and frankly, Jerry isnt that bad here. At least I thought the show was intriguing enough. Ella isnt pretty but I think she deliver her role well enough here for now. Her "blur" look and heart broken scenes were both sad and funny enough too.

try it and let me know what u guys think.
