This drama started off brilliantly, but I found the tail end of it a struggle to get through. A shame because if the whole drama was a good as the start this would be up there as one of my favourites. Worth a watch though.

One of my favorite Taiwanese dramas, with a dreamteam cast of Mike and Ariel.

I think i like this drama so much because it takes itself a little more seriously than the average romance genere drama.

Got some lovely romance scenes too. (Baby cow scene one of the sweetest ever!)

Got to say the ending had me surprised, last two minutes of the drama had me sitting staring at the credits open mouthed.

This TDrama is a lot more fun than the Japanese version and I really enjoyed it. Lots of laughs and bishies and the main cast suited their roles beautifully. Wang Dong Cheng stole every scene he was in, he's hilarious in this.

One of the first TDramas I ever watched and still my absolute favorite having bought the DVD for myself so i can rewatch it again and again. I don't know why I like it so much, I should dislike Zhi Zhu for his complete lack of personality and Xiang Xing for her cluelessness, but I love them both. Perhaps it is because the only time you see a glimmer of emotion in Zhi Zhu is when he looks at her and because Xiang Xing is sweetly delighted by every little morsel of affection she can get out of him.

I loved the family in this drama the supporting cast being superb the mother provided some excellent comedy moments, all helped, I think by not having the ususal authoritative grandfather/father character to hinder their relationship; they do that themselves anyway.

All in all a sweet, cheerful, romantic comedy that in my humble opinion is one of the best TDramas out there.

I saw this drama straight off the back of watching ISWAK and didn't think it could possibly live up to the first drama, but they really outdid themselves with this. As the characters are older the content is more mature, but the sweet heartwarming feel is still there. Loved the ending too, the director stayed true to how the mangaka originally left it and it left me with the feeling that their true love was going to be forever whilst not forcing itself to tie up all the loose ends too neatly. Brave, and it worked.

Love or Bread is obviously trying to re-create the magic of It Started with a Kiss and Kiss again, but it fails to match up to either.



Its all together a bit too silly and lacks imagination in the cute scenes.



Rather than wasting valuable drama-watching time with this I'd recommend watching ISWAK.

An enjoyable well made drama with some very well crafted emotional scenes, got me blubbing! Lee Min Ho has come into his own since BBF and gave a much more mature performance.

A good story covering the difficulties in getting entangled in lies. Also, some great romantic scenes in this, I still blush just thinking of the 'Game Over' scene!

Got to agree this is Raine at her pantomime acting, high pitched voice worst. I've seen her put on much better performances, if only she would tame it down a little.

Also, why do Taiwanese directors insist on filming their dramas in these huge modern echoey houses, makes the whole screechy voice thing that much worse.

This is a reasonable drama with a decent amount of romance. Had some good cute scenes and one of the longest snogs in Taiwanese Drama history! Still, can't help but be a little disturbed by Jerry's big shiny teeth.

I really didn't enjoy this one at all, no chemistry with the leads and some of the scenes are totally cringeworthy. Raine's character was so spineless I gave up even caring towards the end and found myself skipping through the big emotional climax scenes - very bad sign.

A really enjoyable drama this one, Raine's best performance I've seen, she shines opposite Mike He and Mike himself is at his eye-candy best, all bad boy glares and pretty eyes (super dodgy hair though!). The story is fun and free from many of the usual Drama cliche's with Raine's character trying to be a good girl for her parents sake while trying to resist Mikes constant advances. Good luck with that girl!
