Smiling Pasta (2006)

Light hearted, fun, cute, sweet and cheesy this drama made me smile a lot. I loved the family, they were lovable and funny and the story was filled with cute/sweet scenes.

Of course, like a lot of Asian action/romance dramas I've watched there was a lot of overly exaggerated "gotta be cool" fight scenes that came off almost silly and a lot of situations and problems could have been solved to easily or weren't logical so it made it a bit dumb in somethings.

Also the feelings didn't always touch you the way I think they were supposed to which would have made the re-watch value for me higher, but I smiled so much through this drama I didn't mind the not so great parts. I just smiled away through whole scenes, not just funny bits but the sweet, cute, bring a tear to your eye cause I wish that would happen to me though it's cheesy as hell, kinda smiling.

Also, there was trust and understanding for the most part between the leads, though, as usual, there are communication issues, but it was overall very likeable, fun, cute and super sweet.

Not high on physical romance, lots of hugging but not so much kissing or set you on fire type stuff but still very romantic and sweet, also I liked that the couple were together as a couple before the end of the drama. The writer did do a good job of keeping the couple together while trying to overcome outside problems.

Nicholas Teo was amazing in this drama, in my opinion, much better than his last drama. His character was a very cool but sensitive man and he played his part perfectly. Cyndi was okay at some points, but her acting was a little ditsy and over exaggerated. It may just be the way the drama was supposed to play out but her acting became a little annoying at points. The story is absolutely fantastic! The development goes at a steady pace, enough to make the watcher crave for the next episode and still feel satisfied with the episode they just watched. The only fault is the exaggeration of some parts but even that can be overlooked. The songs (especially Nicholas Teo's) are fantastic because some are actually sang in the drama and they are well-sang and well-written. This drama would be re-watchable because after the ending is completed, there is a feeling of wanting to reminisce on how they reached the ending and all the events that happened in between. Overall, this was a great show, full of drama and events that keep you wanting to know more. :) Hope this helps!
