Ariel Lin - News

2008-08-22T10:20:00.000-07:00

In a successful drama, Idol love triangle will forever = killer equation. (Literally translated, I think they mean the drama is always about killer reviews) Taiwanese idol drama They Kissed Again also follows this equation so that the assessments were super high. But if this equation was the actor / actress' real life it would cause a lot of trouble because all the reporters out there. So, what is Joe Cheng, Ariel Lin and Zheng Figaro's love equation? Ariel: I would have courageously for the love, because if you do not do some things that you might later regret. I remember when I was in high school, I said a boy I liked him, but we did not go away because we are a business, we would be very official date on which we at the university. Unfortunately, we were not together long and broke. Maybe it's because our lives and backgrounds were different from the high school.

Figaro: I feel the same as Ariel, I will initiate when it comes to love. It's like my character in the drama, when I see someone that I, even if they are taken or married, I will strive for what I want, unless they have a really good relationship. This is my opinion, in the world of love.

Much pressure relations instructive if
Joe: Even though I have a lot of different girls around me and many of them are my ideal partner because they are all excellent, but unfortunately most of them have friends and I do not want the third party. Law until now I have not yet begun and the first move. My love life is very relaxed, I sit there quietly and watch. But I'm actually waiting for the right time, when I know that I like a broken with her partner, I will this opportunity to take action. I have never experienced love at first sight yet, I'm very greedy, my conditions are beauty, and a good personality. If a girl admits to me and I do not like you I sometimes think: "You're so ugly, how can I be with you" but I will only say that her "We are not suitable for each other" reject it, I will try to do my best so that they do not feel bad. If I am in a relationship, I will definitely not disclose too much pressure, unless someone finds out, then I will openly admit. I will also admit that if we are planning to marry.

Figaro: I have nothing against the fact that the third party, I, because I enjoy the process of falling in love more than the result. Sometimes I really feel how difficult the love (凄美), I will try, because I have never experienced before, I'm always curious about it.

Not a normal relationship
Figaro: In the drama my character is a third party. At the beginning I was concerned, my fans would not accept. In the end I thought it through each drama has its main leads and supporting characters, you can not worry about how much I received.

Ariel: The difference between them and Kissed The first part is that Xiang Qin Zhi Shu and marry. They are no longer in a typical relationship XQ but the weak personality and undemanding still exist. In real life, my personality is not as weak XQ's, it's actually like ZS'sa little more sentimental and non-sharing use to their problems with others. But XQ and I have similarities, we are both stubborn, decided something we will not change our mind easily.

Joe: I also think Ariel is a very cool person, you could say it is the female version of ZS, so that when I was Ariel ZS I would look at the personality and acting.

Figaro: No way! Ariel is very cute and attractive. If we were in the drama I was worried I would fall for them, because we were always together. It was a moment where I really feel, as I fell in love with XQ but I understand, we are only together, and it is also my older women (师姐).

Heart was beating fast during bed scene
Joe: It was a bed scene in the drama, where Ariel and I had to kiss from the balcony all the way to the bed. When we filmed the scene the director had to the area to avoid the awkwardness that only those who remained were the director, cameraman and us two. It was very quiet in the period up to a point where we could only hear our breathing. The director was always being taken us this bed scene does not feel romantic at all. A look back on it makes my heart feel like his beats very fast.

First kiss at 18
Ariel: Xiao Zong (Joe) is very caring, very willing to make girls happy and thinking of others. He is an expert kisser, plus he has big hands, so he gives me a safe feeling. Kissing is confidence, it is very important to a girl. My first kiss was when I was 18, in the time I have with a boy for a while, we were both well-behaved until I got a job where I had to do a kissing scene. At the time, I mentioned that my friend, I wanted my first kiss to him and I wanted the feeling of kissing. I felt very numb at that moment was, as I got an electric shock.
