Brown Sugar Macchiato (2007)

This is one of my favorite Taiwanese dramas. Unlike most Taiwanese dramas, this is set when they are in high school. While the main story isn't very clear, the overall drama is fun to watch. The romance is more innocent and cute, which is good for this type of drama. It could have easily have been a typical romantic comedy drama, but I feel it was pretty imaginative. While there were definately some things I did not like, for example, their uniforms, there were a lot more things I loved. The actors and actress are both from idol groups and are not originally actors, so the acting was just ok. At the same time though, they are just playing awkward high schoolers anyway, so their lack of skills are pretty much hidden and some actors, my favorite was Gui Gui, did a pretty good job. The ending was a bit random, and almost made me feel like their could have been a season two. They did make another drama with most of the actors in this show, though I don't think it's a second season (more like ISWAK and Love&Bread).



If you enjoy idol dramas and romantic comedies, you will love this drama. Definately worth a watch!

A very badly acted, random drama with very few entertaining scenes and a nice song or two.

Story: I watched it because when I read the description, it "sounded" interesting. But having watched this when I was new to dramas, I was in for a surprise and not necessarily a pleasant one.

Acting/Cast: It was horrible. There was a lot of overacting by everyone.

Music: The music was fairly decent. I still listen to one song from the OST, "Bitter Tea".

Re-watch: I never plan on watching this again and I honestly don't recommend it to anyone.

Overall: I watched this when dramas were bright and shiny for me and when I didn't drop dramas. If had I watched this now, it would have been dropped by episode 2 at the most. Or more likely, I wouldn't have even bothered with it.
