At first, I didnt find this series to be interesting at all. After a while, corner with love really caught my attention especially seeing Qin Lang & Xin Lei arguing with each other. I really surprised by the method used by Qin Lang to consider one person as his friend. Qin Lang told Xin Lei that if she's her friend, she would remember how he looks like. So that's why you'll see Xin Lei closes her eyes trying to decribe how Qin Lang looks like in some of the episodes. And there's this one song that makes Qin Lang happy when Xin Lei sings or 'plays' it on the piano. Qin Lang used it to cheer up Xin Lei when she got upset in Shanghai after attending Shao Dong's engagement party with another woman. Xin Lei also has to face another hardship as her parents left her alone due to bankruptcy. Her mother left her a key and an address at Taiwan claiming that its their resort house. Feeling very sad, she decided to go to Taiwan after she got ditched by her fiancee(Shao Dong). Upon reaching Taiwan, she met an old friend who helped her on her first day there. Then she searches for her family's resort house only to realize that its actually Qin Lang's house. Having nowhere to go, Qin Lang decided to help Xin Lei. He told his grandma that he and Xin Lei are couple so that his grandma would allow Xin Lei to live at that house. In Taiwan, the love between Qin Lang & Xin Lei gradually beginning to blossom. At first, Qin Lang can only express his love indirectly via actions or sayings. Later, he has the courage to tell Xin Lei how much he loves her. Though you might find some of the scenes are hilarious but some of them are quite hard to swallow. Often on the later part of this series you'll see Qin Lang cries seeing Xin Lei leaving him and also getting engaged to Shao Dong(after she went back to Shanghai with Shang Dong). Seeing the male lead cries had stirred me deep inside. As I am a guy, personally I think Qin Lang cries because he feels very sad such as if he won't able to see Xin Lei again. I am also absorbed into sadness felt by Qin Lang as I sometimes have 'that' feeling when I saw Qin Lang crying. What I mean by 'that' is the moment when you are touched such that your tears started to accumulate in your eyes. Yeah, I have to admit it eventhough I don't shed any tears watching corner with love but I do sometimes reached to the point my tears accumulated in my eyes.
So I totally recommend Corner with love especially to those who likes Romantic Comedy type of Taiwanese series. You'll experience a swing of emotions. You would be smiling seeing Qin Lang & Xin Lei arguing with each other but you'll feel sad seeing Qin Lang & Xin Lei crying. So this series can actually makes its audience to experience quick turns between happy & sad.To complement this 'hen li hai' taiwanese series are the nice opening and ending songs.The opening song is sang by Megan Lai while the ending song is sang by Show Luo himself. Both are nice songs indeed.
Show Luo and Barbie Hsu indeed had done their roles as the lead actors very well. Corner with love made me feel that I should go take a look at Shanghai and also Taiwan especially the oyster omelettes. Seeing Qing Lang & Shang Dong(at final episode) cry indeed touched me deeply and I was very moved.
Lastly,my perspectives may not be same with other Corner with love viewers. Personally, I think its a series that's worth to watch.Credits to Sublimes for providing the subtitles.
