Synopsis
It Started With a Kiss ended with odd couple Zhi Shu (Joe Cheng) and Xiang Qin (Ariel Lin) getting married in characteristically comical fashion, and the sequel picks up the story right away with their honeymoon and married life. Xiang Qin is as ham-fisted as ever, creating many funny situations as she learns the ropes of being a wife and tries hard to become a good nurse and work alongside her genius husband. Aspiring doctor Zhi Shu meets some obstacles at school when he encounters both academic and romantic rivals who are determined to over-rule him. The pressure of balancing marriage, work, and school often leads to mistakes and misunderstandings, and Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin soon learn that marrying young isn't all it's cracked up to be. [1]
As Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin struggle with their professional ambitions, they also struggle with their personal relationship. Many times, Zhi Shu's coldness and harshness drives Xiang Qin to tears and she tries to run away. Zhi Shu himself tries to push Xiang Qin to higher ambition and making a life for herself. Zhi Shu soon learns to love Xiang Qin and forgive her bumbling ways, and Xiang Qin tries harder to become a better wife and nurse for her husband.
Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin are not the only ones having problems with their relationship. Xiang Qin's childhood friend Ah Jin (Jiro Wang) deals with the affections of an English exchange student who latches onto him against his will. Xiang Qin's friend, Chun Mei (Petty Yang), gets pregnant by her boyfriend, Ah Bu (Arron Yan), but his wealthy, highbrow mother is desperate to keep them apart. Zhi Shu's younger brother Yu Shu (Zhang Bo Han) deals with his own first love.
My Thoughts
When I 1st heard that there will be a sequel to the much loved ISWAK, i was happy. I was eagerly awaiting for this drama to be aired on Philippine TV since the 1st one was so good. I feel in love with all the characters on the 1st series, what will all the crazy family members and even crazier friends. But what really got me was how determined XQ was to win over the cold- hearted ZS. I was so into finding out what happened after they got married that I was pestering my trusty neighborhood DVD seller into finding me a complete copy, but it took a while longer that I liked, so my next step? Mysoju! Lord, whoever made that website & the subbers who made it possible for non-Mandarin speaking people to understand what the characters were saying, THANK YOU! You basically made waiting for the Tagalog- dubbed version infinitely more bearable for me =)... Anyway, here are some of my favorite scenes and lines from the whole series (how do you say KILIG in different languages? because that's how I felt after watching this series, that as well as joy, laughter & sadness too). I can't just choose like 5 favorite scenes/lines, there was just too much of them!
-episode 1 (hello? that honeymoon? that was a really loooong love scene, around 10 mins, I think, if you watch the uncut version)
-episode 3 after ZS presentation and XQ was looking for him, then Chuan Jin tried to harrass her. there was a part where CJ was holding XQ hands & was apologizing to her, the look on ZS face was priceless, he just started going off on Cj about how he'll still be #2! QJ was like, hello? why are you still pushing his buttons like that when everythings fine already? =)
-episode 9 when XQ get's drunk and loses her shoe, ZS told her to sit on his lap then puts her shoes on for her
-episode 11 in it's entirety. this one has it all, esp the drama part. you can really feel XQ unhappiness when she was crying at the door of Yu Shu's bedroom. then came the scene at the ferris wheel with the cake, then the piggyback scene! woohoo!!!! cute!
-episode 12 when ZS told XQ she can practice her injection skills on him, later on telling her that she did fine and that it didn't hurt at all. then in the next scene when he was eating with CJ and CJ accidentally hits him in the arm w/ a folder, we find out that it actually hurt a lot!
-episode 14 when that family finds out that ZS will be assigned to Matsu for his military training,
XQ said that "the love she had for ZS was a million times more than what he's shown for her". then when ZS was talking to XQ dad, he said that XQ doesn't seem to realize "how much he is in love with her".
-episode 15 XQ was saying goodbye to ZS & asked for a goodbye kiss in the hospital corridor,
the scene at the airport lounge at Matsu when XQ was on her way home & ZS pinches her face & then kisses her in full view of every person there, & tells her to get her nursing license quickly, that was really cute.
-then when ZS got back for a visit and XQ comes running to him and jumps into his arms and rains kisses on his face and ZS just smiles then asks her how long is she gonna hug him
episode 18 on what was supposed to be their date on XQ birthday, she was waiting for ZS at the train station, when ZS saw her with blood on her face & clothes, he was so worried that she might be hurt. than he later showed her his new office with all the things that XQ has given him, including the miniature house!
-episode 20 when ZS was looking for XQ after finding her note, the look on his face was pure, unadulterated panic at the thought that XQ really left him. then the scene at their old highschool & at the tunnel, you can honestly feel his frustration at not finding her there.
-scene at ZS office in the hospital
ZS to XQ: "where can i find someone as suitable for me as you? like now, to have the perfect embrace...& the you that completes me..."
"please don't ever think of leaving me again, pls. don't leave me behind. i will be scared, i am scared of the days without you..." (melting to a puddle a I watch this scene...LOL)
-the scene in their bedroom where ZS was telling XQ that he loves her
