Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu Pit Against Each Other on Weekends. Ella Puts In Her Best, Carries A Fridge to Climb Stairs!

With TTV and SET's [Autumn Concerto] gaining wide popularity recently, not only has Xiao Xiao Bin become the most popular child actor, but Vanness Wu's status also rose to be one of Idol Drama's No.1 Male Leads - a changeover from his previous days. During the earlier days of [Meteor Garden], Jerry Yan was the most popular among the male leads; hence, it would be evident soon if he could regain his "Number One" when his idol drama - [Down With Love] makes its debut telecast on 24 January 2010 via CTV and GTV.

In the earlier years when Jerry was the hot favourite among F4, Vanness was more like a supporting role. Recently [AC] clinched the champion spot for viewership in idol dramas telecasted on weekends with its highest rating last week (on 3 January) being 7.76. [AC] is now trailing behind [Fated to Love You]'s rating of 10.91, and has become Taiwan's No.2 idol drama with the highest viewership. With the high viewership, Vanness also rose to greater fame. With the soon-to-telecast [DWL], it seemed that the "battle" between the former "F2" will commence. Will Vanness gets tougher as the competition gets tough, or would Jerry regain his No.1 spot - this attracted many's attention.

On the other hand, in order to stand out amongst the tough fight between idol serials, the actors and actresses would also put in their very best feat for their idol dramas. Four years ago, Joe Chen carried a gas cylinder of about 15kg under the hot weather of 34 degree celsius for TTV and SET's [The Prince Who Turns Into A Frog] with amazing strength. Recently, in her new drama seria - [DWL], Ella will need to carry a fridge of over 10kg to mount the stairs. Her professionalism also won the respect of many.
