ToGetHer review

I marathon this within two days haha i can't say it's addictive but watching this was a fun journey.




THE CHARACTERS:


Rainie Yang as Chen MoMo
Rainie Yang is a great actress, i've watched her in quite a few dramas but she didn't leave me a huge impression (she is memorable in Drunken To Love You though). She is able to act well in different characters and Chen MoMo was no exception. Chen MoMo is a girl that stays away from people, kinda socially awkward, she is addicted to Prince Kashaba(anime character), her only friend is JiaSen whom has an 8 year old mind although he is the same age as MoMo, she stays alone with her sister after the death of her parents. Chen MoMo is a different kind of taiwan drama lead because taiwan's drama lead is usually those positive minded, cheerful kinda person but MoMo is more of a wallflower whom is easily forgotten. Rainie Yang did a good job, having to know her real life personality is 100% the opposite of MoMo haha.


Jiro Wang as Zhuang Jun Nan/Mars
This isn't my first time seeing Jiro Wang but i can't say i like him because his character was kinda boring in MoMo Love(the drama with Cyndi Wang). Mars is a superstar that's popularity hit rock bottom, due to financial problem he move into MoMo's house as a tenant which lead to him changing in personality because of her influence. Mars is a fun character, and Jiro Wang did a good job as Mars, did i mention he has a really attractive voice? He and Rainie's voice are both really special haha


George Hu as Wei Jia Sen
George Hu is sooooooo freakin cute in here haha Jia Sen is MoMo's best friend whom has a mind of 8 year old but has a huge crush on MoMo because MoMo was his only true friend eversince he is young. Where can you find a super good looking, rich, 6 packs, caring and cute guy? His only flaw is his mental ability and anger management problem but George stole the show away for me. His acting was just mehhh in Love Around but he did a pretty good job here.

FROM DRAMAWIKI
Personal Comments: This show was fun and the pacing was good thus i enjoyed it but i have to admit it probably won't stay in my heart for a long time having to be quite similar to most taiwan dramas i have watch The story was good, the acting was great too but well it lacked some chemistry between the leads. I have to admit i watched this show because of the character MoMo as i find her quite similar to me haha instead of reading mangas to get my mind off other things, i use dramas, dramas help me move on form stuff that made me upset which explains why i have watched so many dramas in around 3 years haha. I stay away from people too, thinking that staying away from people means less trouble just like her so yup i feel happy that there's a female lead i can somewhat connect with. 
ps. this show has an addictive ost

IN CONCLUSION:
PERSONAL RATINGS: 8.5-9/10
QUALITY OF THE SHOW: 8.5/10
