Global Buzz: Why TV Show ‘Fated to Love You’ Is an Obsession in Taiwan

In Taiwan, this past weekend—the same as the previous 16 weekends—close to 10% of the population was glued to their televisions watching “Fated to Love You.” Since first airing in March, the program has emerged as Taiwan’s hottest “idol drama.”
The idol drama roughly equates to the Latin American telenovela or the American soap opera, in that its complicated, episodic plot structures land characters in absurd situations and expose them to bizarre plot twists and coincidences–and also for the addictive hold the story has on fans.
Though called a “drama,” “Fated to Love You” is hilarious and employs a wide variety of comic conventions. In the first episode, a sex scene is intercut with clips of missiles firing and a train entering a tunnel, à la “The Naked Gun.” In the second episode, a woman runs into a public bathroom to do a pregnancy test and gets caught on a live news broadcast.
Like “Strictly Ballroom” and “Ugly Betty,” “Fated to Love You” champions a bespectacled, good-hearted, but undervalued girl, named Chen Xinyi, who has a chance at transformation. The premise, set forth in the first episode, is that Chen Xinyi—while trying to win the heart of her two-timing boyfriend on a cruise, and dizzy from having taken cold medicine—wanders into the wrong room on the ship and accidentally falls into bed with the handsome scion of a wealthy family, named Ji Cunxi, who himself has been drugged by business rivals. The ensuing, much-remarked-upon love scene doesn’t show much skin by Western standards, but the outcome is pregnancy for Chen Xinyi. Under pressure from Ji Cunxi’s spunky grandmother (first seen playing video ping pong in Episode 2), Chen Xinyi and Ji Cunxi get married.
“Fated to Love You,” has been breaking ratings records, thanks not only to its charm, but also to a public promise by male lead actor Ethan Ruan (who plays Ji Cunxi) that he’ll swim naked in an episode if the ratings exceeded 10%. Never let it be said that Taiwanese television doesn’t know how to incentivize fans: The series has occupied the number 1 ratings slot for 15 straight episodes, and ratings hit 10.93% during an episode aired in June.
But if “Fated to Love You” is winning hearts and minds in Taiwan, its reception in mainland China is more varied. “Fated to Love You” is primarily a phenomenon of the Internet phenomenon in the People’s Republic of China, as it’s not broadcast on Chinese television. On Youkou.com, a leading video site in China, the comments pages suggest that, naked or clothed, many viewers aren’t impressed with Ethan Ruan, with suggestions that the series would be “perfect” if it instead starred Ming Dao.
Another netizen decried what he perceived to be politically charged dialogue: “The actor’s lines are like ‘We want to march on China,’ (like [Taiwanese are] not the same as Chinese people — is it possible that they’re half-breeds?). Everybody should quickly wash their eyes.”
I think... this article... should be dedicated to Qiao En's Fans Club!!
Taiwan, Mainland China, Hongkong, and definitely Baidu Bar, ??? (de ko alam to..haha)... 7f
To me, group is not important, what's important are those who never changes their heart.
Citywalk's fan meeting session..
I've waited for 3 years, I can finally go to HK and meet everyone!!!
Hearing all of you shouting as one in Chinese "Qiao En!! Qiao En!!"
I really felt shocked!
I really wanted to videotaped that moment.
But I thought... why should I?
This moment... has left a deep mark in my mind.
No matter where I am, in Taiwan, HK or Mainland...
There are always many people asking, did I really received the fans gift for me?
Every gift, whether it's precious or not
But the intentions of it, believe me that I will try my best to cherish it!
This house is very interesting.
Given by Admiralty (place in HK) people, in a foreign-style house, with lots of diamond-like stars inside.
and it has a bottle of red wine inside that I don't know whether I would laugh or cry.
And there's even coming from a far away place in the Philippines sending their best wishes/blessings to me.
I've received it!!
Thanks!!
I don't know if this is a coincidence?
Chen Xiao En's first HK tour, is also the same time as the 3rd year anniversary of Joe's HK fanclub.
For Xiao En, this is truly a memorable year!
For someone like me who loves writing, I have released my book.
For someone like me who loves acting, this year has made me get recognized by more people from my series.
Now that it's nearing midnight time, I always have this deep and quiet feeling on me.
did you know?
I have never changed!!
With regards to myself who loves to write, with regards to myself who loves to act, with regards to myself being the same as before...
I told myself,
Because I didn't change, I am able to cherish all of this.
Let's say 3 years back, it was the first time I got recognized through "Prince Turned Frog"
I really did worked hard that time.
Even though after that, I felt that my hard work made me hurt.
Did you know?
Since the time I released my book, wherever I am, I can see lots of people holding "Qiao Jian Mei" and letting me sign them.
I definitely see more people putting plastic covers on my book, and bringing it to me...
Through this, I saw how they cherish my work.
That kind of feeling can be describe in one sentence: I'm feeling extremely flattered.
I didn't changed since before!!
Just because I was once disappointed, I was once hurt...
Just because I really really waited for this.
Therefore, It has now been clear to me...
Therefore, It has made me felt touched.
***Waiting for this day has really been so long. Only by learning to face failure in reality, so can I have the opportunity to live my life more calmly.***
***Thank you for that period of time that I have waited for so long. It made me get closer to myself***
....get a copy of "Qiao Jian Mei"....
....a gift for my fans club who always stood by me.....
....and a gift for myself....
