[Discussion] Summer's Desire

I've wanted to watch Autumn's Concerto but haven't gotten around to it yet (:

And hahahaa I love your anecdote Rita! I'd be furious, too, haha how do you call that "finished" ?? xD It's worse than Sparknotes - at least with Sparknotes you learn what happens in each chapter. Still ruins it by not actually reading it from the book itself though. Haha

After finishing episode 3....I will say that I am getting into the drama. Get the feeling that Luo Xi is not the guy she ends up with - although I like him better than Ou Chen at the moment. Hard to say what direction the drama will go really. I like her friends, though (: And the music for the most part is nice [a few songs I don't like].

sort of some of the flashback stuff has been explained but they showed us a new one * where xio ma hit some guy with a brick lol im sure that will come back to haunt her at some stage also i think they are making HXM bit creepy/devious now hope he doesnt become a total weirdo baddie :( *

BTW i wonder if the bitchiness between the actresses is an accurate depiction of real life :p

Yeah they showed us that to confuse us yet again xD haha Episode 5 kinda spoilers **I'm sure it'll come back again within the next few episodes and we'll see what that's all about. I hope Luo Xi doesn't become totally obsessive or anything like that haha. It's what's turning me off from Ou Chen - they both act like they own her. I love Luo Xi's character but the possessiveness is a bit too much. Now she's in a scandal with Ling Hao haha.

I wonder if the bitchiness is accurate, too hahaha. It makes me wonder - when they were filming the slapping scene and she was supposedly actually hitting her for real [her face didn't look swollen to me but whatever hahhaa] - it's kinda ironic to think that it actually wasn't a real slap. A scene within a scene type of thing haha. **

All in all - I am enjoying this drama haha. It's not boring me :p

They are! Haha it would me, too :p I'm wondering how the ending is going to turn out at this rate. The one thing I do like a lot about this drama - it's a little unpredictable. Because of the confusing flashbacks, it makes you wanna know what's going on, what happened - and ultimately - which one, in the end, will she wind up with? Is Luo Xi a good guy? Is he bad? Is Ou Chen actually a good guy? Makes me wanna find out :p

I just found out - Summer's Desire is based off a novel trilogy haha. Someone translated it online here:

Also found out that they made a Manhua [Chinese comic] out of it, too, which came out before the drama. [Called Show Princess; Summer's Bubble]

One thing I keep wondering about....

**You know the guy that follows Ou Chen around and calls him "young master?" It's never shown that he's in the car with Ou Chen, but there's been a few scenes where he just pops up out of nowhere, no vehicle following Ou Chen's. Haha I keep wondering where he came from. I'm on episode 6 and it's giving the flashback of when Ou Chen was in the car accident and he gets out of the vehicle and his head's bleeding...suddenly that guy shows up out of nowhere and shouts "young master" and I'm like "where'd he come from?!?!?!" hahaha**

Haha nice avi RF :p

I finished episode 6 earlier, almost done with episode 7 now haha.

**I feel that with the flashback they showed in this episode we understand a little more about Ou Chen. I now am pretty positive that Ou Chen is the main lead in this drama. When it showed the break up scene, how she said these really cruel things to him [it may be partially his fault but that really was cruel] and he has tears in his eyes, I felt bad for him. I still love Luo Xi, but I don't think Ou Chen is that horrible.

And of course I felt bad for Luo Xi, as well, his mother abandoning him at such a young age in an amusement park. Poor guy.**
