In Time With You: 大仁哥

Never thought I could watch something that can make me 'kilig' again like this series, I thought I graduated from being a fangirl. I thought my heart is numb and can no longer be easily shaken or moved at this age of 30-something. Never thought a simple storyline with a cast of realistic background without any silver lining of fame, power, wealth, and of course, extra-ordinary good looks wrapping around the plot, could be as striking as this.

我可能不會愛你 was aired last year in Taiwan.  To be exact I watched it when I was jobless. I went crazy over 大仁哥 and 又青姊's story. A year after, just last night I saw the news that the series won Best TV Series, Best Actor, Best Actress and several other awards. Sweet.





All the korean or taiwan series that made it so big a hit, I will recount to you the background of the leading actor. Who could have forgotten Meteor Garden's Dao Ming Si's tall supermodel shy boy looks and his multi-gazillionaire family background making travelling with a private jetplane to their own beach resorts looks so easily achievable. Which girl will tell you that she can resist such boyish charms plus the ultra romantic expensive treat? I watched the Taiwan version 10years ago and went gaga over Dao, watched the Korean version 5years ago and still loved them as before.

Another Korean top grosser 'My Secret Garden'. Again the leading actor is a handsome funny guy with a multi-gazillionaire family background again. I like one quote from that series where the poor leading lady yelled back at the annoying woes of this rich guy initially, saying 'not all dining tables have roses, red wines and candles'. Fair statement isn't it, they belong to 2 different worlds.  I watched this just last year, and probably I am older, hence this kind of patweetum series didn't move me much as I expected. But still quite entertaining.  

I think girls need to start to wake up from their fantasies that handsome+kind+gentleman+rich+fun personality, this package doesnt sound realistic and rarely appears to go together and exist within one same guy. And if it did, girls need to stop dreaming they can end up with one, unless you are ultra pretty+kind+rich+fun personality yourself. Sounds fair enough right? :)

So what does 大仁哥 have in this In Time With You series? To make it short, it's just two words. He is a friendzoned martyr! :) He was infatuated with 又青姊 ever since they met during high school. Due to different circumstances, he was not able to admit it and later on he became good friends with 又青姊 for years.

His profession is a typical office worker, no silver lining dangling beyond his net worth. To be exact, he is a manager for ground flight attendants, those who take care of check-in counters.  Wasn't too fancy right, sounds achievable. Yet while watching the series, every woman will start to envy the leading lady because he's such a keeper, a gem,  He became the leading lady's confidant in her many break-ups leading her to an age of early 30's yet still single and being constantly nagged to settle down (oops so now you know why it was a major hit, too many people can relate huh? haha the series has a lot of funny antics and takes on this topic of women being 30's and single). 

Going back to 大仁哥. He's like a best friend, a soul mate, someone whom she can drag for a drink in her gloomiest days of her quarrels with bf, of her issues at work or family, someone who remembers her birthdays, someone who listens wells and talks to her like there's no tomorrow while wearing their pajamas. Someone like a member of her family, who her parents call for errands like fixing a PC problem or grocery chores. Someone who simply makes her a priority.

I remembered my first reaction when my friend messaged me the link to check it out. I said, hmm looks are 'so-so' for the guy.  Well definitely not bad looking, but there's just too many of a handful of actors who are more handsome. I was shocked that I got glued to the series. 大仁哥 where are thou? lol

Here's a picture of their usual get-together for midnight snack, a japanese food store. Aww, cute couple.










To be honest, each lady has a bunch of 大仁哥 in their circle, they just prefer to deny it, or probably they themselves don't know. :))

I'd say taiwanese drama has indeed levelled up with 'In Time With You'.

Anyway enough of being a fangirl for 大仁哥. You make me kilig and gigil :)
