Summer Drama..."The Rose"

WEIRD!!!! Was the first word I described this drama with. The first thing that attracted me to it was its title "The Rose". What directly came in mind was Westlife latest cover single that carries the same title. To my surprise, I heard that song in the drama many times but it was not sang by Westlife but the original once which was sang by a woman.

The storyline is about a girl who discovered, after the death of her grandma, that her mother was still alive. To her surprise, her mother was a famous actor. So, she made her way to her mother's house to get the shock of her life!

Her mother married 4 times and that her father was her mother's third husband. She discovers that she had an older sister "Fu Rong", older brother "Jin" and a younger brother "Kui". Her mother allowed her to stay but to work as a maid. At the beginning both Fu Rong and Kui would treat her like a trash because she was neither pretty nor attractive unlike them. They kept asking their mom if she was really their, Mimi, little sister.

On the other hand, Jin, the older brother, is a pretty weird boy. He becomes a different person once he is drunk and treats his sister well. What the weird about this story the story itself. I was terrified at the beginning once some thoughts came to my head…"Will it be a love story between a brother and sister?!" I almost vomited at the thought…I was thinking about quitting it BUT! After few episodes, the story became more interesting once a truth came into play. She was not their biological sister; she was adopted by the third husband who treated her as a daughter (LONG STORY). The conclusion was, she was not related to Jin, who she started falling for, or Fu Rong…but to Kui since both had the same father but different mothers!

Complicated huh? You have no idea! But slowly I grow to like it! It was mostly funny! I won't forget how she was trying to lose weight! She just reminded me with myself! Jin, the serious blue eyed handsome boy! Fu Rong, the lazy arrogant lady but deep inside really kind! Kui, the guy who never loses his appetite and never gains weight LUCKY HIM!

One more thing the main characters names came from flowers and you could see roses everywhere in that drama for that it was called "The Rose".... It was strange at the beginning and I did not like some of the scenes…but beside that it was good! The first Taiwanese drama for the summer! Will it be the last?
