Ming Dao brings "bliss" from Europe to CTV

SETTV's top male and female idols Ming Dao and Joe Chen (Qiao En) have been quite busy after their respective contracts ended. Ming Dao takes the lead in Anhui TV's "Happy & Love Forever", which will air on CTV right after "Down With Love". Having just mentioned her urge to act in a movie, Joe will likely be cast as the lead in a new movie, "Wo Ai Cha Mei Le", but the producer mentioned, "Nothing's set in stone!"

As Ming Dao's "Happy & Love Forever" will soon air on CTV, he will be fighting for ratings with an old friend. Earlier, he and four friends travelled to Europe for close to one month, hitting up London, Paris and Monaco etc., and even went alpine skiing. Eating and accomodations cost them close to 6 million TWD, resulting in him turning down two appearance events in Mainland China exceeding 100 million in ads.

Not an expert at skiing, Ming Dao was dazed after seeing the skiing grounds. Due to him being a beginner, he wasn't used to the long and skinny skis and kept falling down. Many friendly and helpful European children helped him up, but in the end he showed his heart for learning and fell in love with the sport.

Joe's starring in "Fated to Love You" and "The Prince Who Turns Into a Frog" helped SETTV break idol drama records, and also made her the top dog in idol dramas. Earlier she mentioned that she would be appearing in another idol drama, according to reports, it will be Joe squared (Joe Chen and Joe Cheng) appearing in the novel adaptation of "Wang De Lian Ge".
