But when Anna left, Cun Xi had a most absurd one night stand with someone else and accidentally cause "sticky note girl" Xin Yi to become pregnant! Under granny's coercion, he married Xin Yi.
From hating this "marriage" at the beginning, to the day he realized that Xin Yi's existence has become a habit he does not want to lose, Cun Xi has changed. Cun Xi discovered that he has fallen in love with Xin Yi… But Anna returned! One is a ballet princess whom he worshiped for a long time, and the other is a sticky note girl who gradually captured his heart. The high and mighty CEO would soon enter a love storm he could never expect!

But the Xin Yi who lives a normal life had a most absurd one night stand with everyone's prince charming Chun Xi and even got pregnant! Xin Yi then had a shotgun marriage with Chun Xi. After marriage, Xin Yi started to see Chun Xi adorable boyish side and also found that Chun Xi is the first person who would really "get jealous" because of her, therefore she couldn't help slowly falling in love with him…

Would love to dl the eps as soon as they're out..^^
Thanx a lot!

--
Btw, the storyline reminds me a lot of Wonderful Life by Eugene..
And it's weird cos Qiao En's last SETTV drama WZBQW was kinda similar to Save the Last Dance for Me, also by Eugene.. what a coincidence.. and PLUS, this guy Ethan looks a lot like Ming Dao, sounds a lot like him, and plays a similar character to that of MD's in WZBQW... weird eh?

Yeah! A thread finally for FTLY!
This series really looks promising but i'm just hoping that it will not end up like "Bullfight". Because SETTV always make the first few series really really good but then it is slowly hoping to end, the story gets lamer and lamer.

I'm looking forward to this! They filmed some scenes in Hong Kong so that would be interesting to see. Ahhh Baron Chen! I remember him from Jay Chou's Qing Hua Ci music video. He looks cool. =) Yay for Ethan's first time as the main male character.

Xiao tian~~~~ you are back!
This drama looks pretty good. I've given up on Bull Fighter and just waiting patiently for this. I love Qiao En and they seem to have FANTASTIC chemistry behind the scenes....hopefully that carries over onscreen as well. All the WQYL behind the scenes specials are really making me impatient though.
Here are a compilation of recent appearances by the cast. XT is so sweet.

The guy plays the second lead, Dylan, whom Xin Yi (QE) will be depending on for support when Cun Xi's GF Anna comes back.. just like Shao Wei's character in WZBQW

whoah!!!!!! hot hot!!!! haha..i just wanna share this synopsis...
Translation by Mesoles from AsianFanatic
In this city, there is a “stick here stick there” love story…
The story starts from a girl whose type is common throughout Asia.
This type of girl is called “sticky note girl”. She is plain, simple, law-abiding, wishes are simple, has never been a Somebody and has never aspired to be a Somebody. Their functions are small but indispensable; like a sticky note which can be torn away easily, inconspicuous and ordinary, but she will be around you! A “luxury cruise” journey let this ordinary girl encounter the most extraordinary events in history.
Since young Chen Xin Yi was afraid that people would not like her, so she tried very hard to be nice to people. As long as someone responded to her a little, she would fall in love with that person easily. Everyone called her a sticky note girl. Because whenever anyone needed her, they just need to tear her down and use her. If they don’t need her, they can just throw her away and it wouldn’t matter. But she was a fool who treasured relationships and her weak-willed character often caused her to soften during the times when she needed to make a firm decision. One day, in order to win back her philandering boyfriend Gucci, she splurged on a love cruise but accidentally entered the wrong room. When she woke up, she was stunned to find that she had a one night stand with a stranger, and subsequently discovered that her boyfriend Gucci had betrayed her and hooked up with a rich widow. Her boyfriend then dumped and left her, causing her to suffer a severe blow.
One month later, when Xin Yi saw her pregnancy test results, she regretted not jumping off the ship. A twenty-five years old staff at a law firm, because of a lousy man, had to bear a debt of two hundred thousand dollars and was carrying the child of an unknown man. This had to be the most ironic joke on earth. She took one month’s leave from her company and prepared to return to her hometown “Jiang Mu Island” to consider what she should do.
The stranger in the bed that day was called Ji Chun Xi. He was every girl’s prince charming, rich and handsome, young and capable. When he met the ordinary office girl Chen Xin Yi, he didn’t know whether this was the start of his troubles or the beginning of his happiness.
Because of the Ji family’s heredity illness, there are few males in each generation. Up to now, there was only one male heir for the past nine generations. This causes the matriarch of the family, Zhen Zhu Granny, to lose sleep with worry as she feared that this tiny family flame would be extinguished! Granny hoped that her grandson would be like the scions of other rich family and had many women. Unfortunately this grandson is decent and self-respecting. One day, granny accidentally discovered that Xin Yi is carrying Chun Xi’s baby. Maybe the Ji family’s ancestors had blessed her and finally gave her a “little golden great grandchild”. Therefore granny insisted that Chun Xi marries Xin Yi so that on the day she dies, she can face the Ji family ancestors. Granny forced Chun Xi to marry Xin Yi by threatening to call and tell his girlfriend of three years, so Chun Xi has no choice but to marry Xin Yi in order to fulfill her wish in life. But Chun Xi discovered that he could not face the fact of his marriage and couldn’t decide whether to run away at the last minute or pluck up the courage to take responsibility. At this time, he discovered that they must date and romance under his granny’s request.
Actually Chun Xi has a girlfriend of three years Anna. He had proposed to her many times before but was gently turned down each time. But Chun Xi continued to quietly wait for Anna to promise to marry him and leave everything behind. Anna did not want to marry because of her career and now he accidentally caused Xin Yi to become pregnant. But fortunately Anna was away on an overseas performance tour, giving him time to settle this mixed-up affair. Chun Xi, without his granny’s knowledge, secretly signed a pre-marriage contract with Xin Yi which states that they would divorce after the baby is born. Chun Xi promised to give Xin Yi a sum of money and after that they would have nothing to do with each other. Xin Yi agreed after careful consideration for the sake of her baby. Chun Xi’s plan was that, after the baby is born and Anna returns back after her tour completed, he and Xin Yi’s contract would be due and he can resume his relationship with Anna.
The unknowing Xin Yi moved into Chun Xi’s house and began to learn to get along with Chun Xi. The two strangers, from being unable to adapt initially, learned to get used to each other. This is a very subtle change, of the two people who lived under the same roof but has nothing to do with each other, slowly started interacting due to the trivia matters that happened in their lives. Xin Yi moved into Chun Xi’s bedroom under granny’s request and Chun Xi then went to the guest room to sleep under a pretext. But he slowly discovered that he doesn’t like the loneliness of sleeping alone and would often go back to his original room in the middle of the night. After some time, sleeping with someone by his side became a habit. The Chun Xi who doesn’t like to return home for dinner started to return home regularly and the Chun Xi who vowed not to help in anything also started to shop for baby’s wallpapers and children toys.
When they thought that they are happy, the ticking time bomb Anna who had been kept in the dark returned. Chun Xi never thought that his unresolved relationship with Anna would hurt Xin Yi, who disappeared after leaving behind a divorce agreement. He had thought that this would be the best ending, but Xin Yi had unknowingly captured his heart. He vowed that if he can find Xin Yi again, he would start over and pursue her; and this time it would not be the way a father treats the mother of his child, but as a man treats a woman…

I'm actually not into the fact of Cun Xi having a girlfriend and marrying another girl at the same time. Altho it's the best solution to the problem, it's kinda not fair to both girls. One his girlfriend, another the mother of his baby. It's really a tough situation for him..

Thankx leslie for the summary. It sounds very interesting, but it kinda remind me of "Full House" with the contract and the living together thingy starts and the feelings develop later on. Still, I will definitely watch this drama since this is Ethan's first male lead drama (I think). Can't wait to watch it!!!

Thank you so much... MU works fine for me but I just like CB better because I can download the whole eps and not in bits an pieces like MU. that was why I ask for CB links... if you find a link that would be so awsome.... Oh do you know if there will be any english subs?

^ Aiks.. I forgot to tell you that the MU links provided usually come with chi subs.. and that you were asking for raw episodes, so that you can play with Eng subs. I will check around for you.. I'm sure there are CBs which provide raw episodes..
And I don't think you have to worry about the Eng Subs.. cos I'm pretty sure there will be.
If you're interested, you can visit the asianfanatics link in the first post.. all relevant info about the drama are posted over there.

Yeap, I can't wait for Sunday already!

I just love romantic fairytales..altho they're somewhat unrealistic and fantasy like..I just love the feeling of being in love..hahha... just because I don't have one at the moment, I can only resort to imagining the feeling..

You've seen most of the BTS right? Don't you seriously think Ethan does not only look like MD, but also sounds like him? I mean, when I close my eyes, and listen to his voice, I would so totally think it's MD and not some other guy.
But again, I've got to get that MD-QE thing out of mah head, cos it would be unfair for Ethan..hehehehe..
Meanwhile, I found a YT link to the
