Words cannot contain my excitement with the episode of Pleasantly Surprised that just aired today. After 12 weeks of gruelling agonizing wait, our OTP has finally gotten together. The angst at the start of this episode was pretty intense but it was all made up with a double dose of lip action.
My number one gripe with Taiwanese dramas is that most of them only come out with one episode per week and they usually last around 20+ episodes. That's week after week of waiting for 5 months. Somehow, the waiting for Pleasantly Surprised isn't as annoying as I thought it would be. The drama is so well done that it feels almost right to wait for it. I know, that last sentence was confusing lol. But what I'm trying to say is that at the end of each episode, it leaves a sweet feeling in you and has rarely ended in a tense cliffhanger. The previews also get you excited about the next week and the good thing is that they almost always deliver what they promise. There was a slight trolling from last last week's preview but it didn't annoy me. Not like some Kdramas that make me cry and then troll me to no end.
The OTP interactions are the highlight of this drama. I love how we get to see Kai Qi slowly break out of her shell because of Ah Jie. And in this episode we finally see Ah Jie decide to go against his brother for what he wants. Although we know trouble is just around the corner, with abusive fathers and manipulating brothers, we can be certain that our OTP will fight through all their obstacles. And this week, they finally got together with not one but TWO amazing kisses. The first kiss scene was pretty hilarious which ended up with both of them getting hurt lol. The second kiss was so perfect that I'm not even going to question how they got drenched and then dry so fast. This drama never fails to mix in a perfect amount of romance, friendship, and quirks. It doesn't through you with annoying clichés but rather a right amount of conflict and resolution.
One scene I found particularly funny was when Ah Jie bought Da Zhi a pair of shoes. When Ah Jie and Kai Qi got together, Da Zhi practically flipped a table. He appears to have a small crush on Kai Qi but really he is just protective of her since she was the one who let him start a new life after his stint in jail (which was really for another persons crime). Seeing how nice Ah Jie is, Da Zhi totally got pulled over to Ah Jie's side at the end of the episode after telling Ah Jie and Kai Qi to go on a date as he breaks in his brand new shoes, courtesy of Ah Jie. Sun Qin Yue is the actor that plays Da Zhi and he is a newbie in my eyes because I haven't seen him in any other dramas. He does however have a familiar face. A cute and handsome familiar face that is. Out of all the side characters, he's probably my favourite! And his budding bromance with Ah Jie is a serious contender to our main OTP.
Anyhow, let us rejoice in hot OTP kisses! If you haven't watched episode 12 yet then I tell you go to watch it and then come back and enjoy these SUPER CUTE screencaps :D
