Does anyone other than me think that the guy acting as Yu Shu looks familiar? He looks kinda like the actor who was Zuo Yu Quan (Wu Chun)'s brother in Hana Kimi!

I dunno...Correct me if I'm wrong. =)

[mary elle]

AHHH! THE SEQUEL! I CANNOT WAIT! XD
this was like.. the first drama i ever watched in my life. i'm glad it was my first. <3

[tengteng]

yup... I heard too from other forum they're changing Joe's little bro .
I found pic who will act as Yi shu.


thanks to clois @ FI

Cute guy but yu shu the name sounds not so suitable for him...because I will always be reminded of a chubby short little boy...lol

I bet the girl yu shu likes last time would regret so much if she's in ISWAK 2...

[reallyAmused]

ahh! the new Yu Shu is cute ! Anyone know the name of the real actor??

[xsilentangel]

OHHHHHH MY GOSHHHHHH

love love love this drama cant wait til it comes out ><!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Melodeen]

Hey, why did little Yu Shu grow up so fast then. Isn't the the sescond season is about Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin going to their honeymoon. It's only after their marriage but I can't believe he grow up so fast and lost weight that much. I would rather have the little boy come back and play his role. Anyways, I hope the second season is good.

[brownorange]

Oh my god, I am so excited about iswak2!!! I hope that Mr and Mrs Jiang's married life will be loving and sweet!!!
Zhi shu, way to go!!!

[heartdrops]

Ohhh the new Yu Shu is pretty cute hahas. I like his hair.
I still can't wait for this!

[zashibear]

I look forward to this one. Hope the story line is good.

translation of Winnie's words:

after a few hours we will officially begin to film the sequel
everyone on the crew are feeling restless these days
there's always more work each day, and new problems occur
we changed ISWAK-E Zuo Ju Zhi Wen (which literally means Mischievous kiss or kiss of prank) to lucky kiss
I hope the luck will continue and everyone will be happy
this is a series that we all have hoped for
to be honest
my pressure has gained as my expectation went high
everyone's waiting for it, how is the sequel gonna be like?
from <Meteor Garden> to <Tu Si Nan Zhi Wen> (sorry i dunno the english name for this drama) ...<My Secret Garden> (this is a successful drama of Ariel, its sequel was the first to broke the "curse" of bad sequels), all these sequels had always lifted many people's hopes. Similarly, when I watch ISWAK, I have great hope for it as well......
Joe has gained experiences from all these years. On that day he said, he had filmed 10 series. 10 series, there's got to be some difference. What to do now? I want to show everyone a mature Joe. Also, a mature Zhi Shu.
Ariel during this time, has experienced many things accidentally. It's been a while since we see her dramas. After going to New York and studied there. The recent her, how much is she gonna surprise me (in a good way)?
They have both experienced the leaving of a good friend, the testing of life. How are they going to present the beauty of life.
Yu Shu has grown so tall. He's already a shy little guy now...I had to make friends with him all over again, even if we have already worked together in many series. But it seems like everything's gonna start all over again. The day they tried out their looks for the drama, we talked about Wang Jian Min (no idea who this guy is), professional baseball, threw baseball at each other. He had finally got his smile back.
The adults in Jiang's family are still mature, leading us like the sun....thanks to Daddy Jiang and Mommy Jiang, and the Cai Uncle who pretends to be mature. Haha!
FRH, who used to be newbies, are now the shiny stars. They have more responsibilities, we are all happy to meet again...I also hope that we can have some different interactions.
Also many artists friends that are helping us, or the crew members who are working backstage silently. Everyone will eventually see what we've prepared for them, and we hope that you'll find surprises everywhere.
reading the manga script by the manga artist over and over, i'm understanding more of her heart, and i'm touched.
Listening to the producer telling what happened in Japan's editing room. Looking at the Japaneses subtitles for ISWAK. The manga artist's husband (I'm sorry here for not knowing how to translate the Japanese name...) came up to see the tape of Japanese subtitles. It was the scene where Zhi Shu was in the balcony, talking about his pressure from his dad's company and future. Xiang Qin felt Zhi Shu's heart, hugged him from the back. Just two people in the night silently......
He was originally seated at the back, but now he walked to the front slowly, until he's in front of the screen, watching it with high concentration......after this scene was finished, he sat at a corner, not speaking for a long time, and it seems like he's wiping his tears.
After that, he walked out, with strength, he shaked hands with the producer. He says it's too similar to his and the manga artist's life, which reminds him of her (the manga artist, his dead wife)......
Turns out this manga, was all composed of her husband and her lives, she drew it using her own life.
He shaked the producer's hand greatly, and said "thank you" so many times, the producer says that he felt his true appreciation, and he is also touched by him.......
I dont know how good ISWAK really was? but i know our sincerity was even felt by the manga artist's husband.
To everyone who likes ISWAK, u guys have grown up as well. Welcome everyone, using your heart that has grown more mature, and let's enter the imaginary world of ISWAK.
I'm Winnie

Popuar idol drama "It Started With a Kiss" is about to film their sequel. Director Qu You Ning, Jo

Cheng, Ariel Lin, and the rest of the cast gathered together for a grand wedding ceremony to celebrate the start of the sequel filming.

Joe Cheng said, "This is actually my first marriage, unlike Ariel, who gets to marry in each drama she stars in. My first marriage in my profession is given to Ariel. Hopefully she can use her rich experience to handle our marriage well."

Ariel Lin replied, "I am extremely honored. Haha.. I will definately be a good wife."

After over one year, the original cast is cooperating again. Everyone's mood is excited and is anticipating this. Ariel said, "I am filled with excitement, anticipation, and anxiety. I told the director that nobody but ourselves give us the high expectations for this. I hope this doesn't become a pressure, but become a dedicated, relaxing job."

Joe Cheng said, "This feels like the first day of elementary school. School begins once again and I am very nervous. I feel excited to return to the school."

ISWAK II will be focused on Ariel and Joe's lifestyle after their marriage. Whether there will be an intimate bed scene is becoming a great anticipation. The director said, "Because they are newlyweds, there should be alot of intimate scenes. I am also a newlywed so I will arrange and discuss scenes with my wife. Everyone will see how sweet they will be!"

Joe replied, "That is the director's practice at home; plan all the scenes and then teach it to me."

Due to "It Started With a Kiss", Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng are successfully labeled as an onscreen couple. Both of them also have a good friend, Xu Wei Lun. Yesterday the shooting for the sequel began. Ariel wore a wedding dress and entered through a red carpet. The "groom", Joe Cheng said, "Wei Lun's desire before her death was to wear a wedding dress." Joe disclosed that during the wedding scene, their ten fingers were locked tight. When they think about their good friend, they held on to each other even tighter. Ariel even said, "I felt that Wei Lun had arrived for this wedding."

Idol dramas are popular with sequels. GTV's Hana Kimi sequel has been confirmed to start filming at the end of the year. Last year, ISWAK had successful ratings on CTV and GTV. The filming started yesterday and the channels are already fighting for the broadcasting rights. Other than the original cast, Danson Tang is also included. The GTV executive said that ISWAK will be broadcasted in Tokyo and Fukuoka in Japan.

Ariel hasn't filmed a drama in half a year since she had been studying abroad. The director revealed that the original script didn't plan a kiss scene but Ariel and Joe were willing to have one. Ariel joked, "The director will practice loving his wife at home and use it all on me in the drama."

o_O;;; what? They originally didn't plan on having a kiss scene? Wth? I'm glad they have one now, but if they weren't going to have one Joe and Ariel better had done some heavy duty improvising on set. And nice to know they're gonna have a lot of intimate scene. Episode 19 and 20 were definitely not enough for me.

edit: ah thanks for that youtube clip! Joe and Ariel are sooo cute together and it's so nice to see the cast together again. Jiro is so cute too, can't wait to see them all again

[heartdrops]
