Title: Love or Bread/ ??????

Sypnosis
Frank looks rich but is in actuality poor and has a huge amount of credit card debts. He has never achieved anything in his life and has to beg his debtors.
Zheng Shan Mei lives an ordinary life while working three jobs to support her family. She also send money for her boyfriend's studies in America. Despite her parents' disapproval, she quits her jobs and goes to America to find her boyfriend and get married.
Unfortunately, she finds her boyfriend cheating on her, and with no money left, she is forced to go back to Taiwan without notifying her family. There, she meets Frank, and unexpectedly, she ends up sharing the same jaded house with him. He is lazy and irresponsible while she is hard-working and kind- hearted. They are two different individuals whose only similarity is to live for money. Frank doesn't like Shan Mei's eagerness to make a living, but eventually, his feelings begins to change, but he can only keep his feelings to himself; he's even willing to leave her if it makes her happy. Until one day, Shan Mei found her prince, En hao, who is a rich, kind man, and very considerate. But when she's with En hao, she starts to think about Frank.

Barbie Xu & Joe Cheng signed up for new series "Love or Bread"

Zai Zai and Joe Cheng's fate keep crossing because Honey & Clover and Wish To See You Again are rivals on TV. And now Barbie will be acting with Joe in the new drama. On the first screening of H&C, Joe said at least H&C's ratings will be higher then WTSYA which caused an uproar. But it turned out to be true. However, compared to Fated to Love You, the difference between them was quite big.

Joe's role in this new drama will be someone who on the outside he looks rich but actually he's poor and has a huge amount of credit card debts. This is rather similar to ZZ's previous drama Poor Prince Taro. It is said things might be a bit awkward between Barbie and Joe because Barbie used to date ZZ and Joe was a good friend of Xu Wei Lun who had previously dated ZZ. But Joe says he has always been a fan of Barbie even before he debuted. He would buy their CDs and stuff.

Regarding the bed scenes, he had one in TKA and one in H&C so they say he's the "Qing Se Pai Ou Xiang' which is like an idol who has lots of bed scenes.

This drama will be in production on the second half of 2008.

Da S Afraid of gaining weight
Ariel Lin took over the role of a poor girl in the village

Noble posture and a high price tag, Da S has finally 'Ti Dao Tei Ban' ! ( meet obstacle)
The GTV idol drama Love or Bread starring Da S and Joe Cheng replaced the female leading role that cast Da S by Ariel Lin. Da S cited the reason of schedule's conflict with her movie's project. Another speculation is that the character of the role she would play in the Love or Bread were way to 'Villagers' that needed to only wear blue and white shoes and gain weight. Da S is not allowed herself to downgrade from the proclaimed princess to the character in the drama.

GTV drama will begin shooting in August. It has costumes set up and made the posters. Da S sudden dropout gave GTV headache. It was learned that the reasons for the dropout are the character of 'Zhen Shan Mei', a poor girl who only wears a pair of 20 bucks blue-white shoes and would knee down to count money on the ground. Upon hearing director Lin ask her to gain weight, Da S painfully consider to give up the role.

Ariel Chen is not afraid of being compared
Da S's concern on the other hand is a challenge for Ariel Lin. GTV said that Ariel Lin was the first choice to be considered for the drama and later was replaced by Da S.

It seems that everything has retuned to how it was started. Afraid of being compared with Da S? Ariel Lin said 'Every person will portray the character it his/her own way.' Da S's agent replied ' Only because of conflict with her schedule. Shan Cai is also a character of 'weed'. Da S will not pick on the role la'

I am a bit sceptical about this show. Its like the same story as Hi! Working Girl in a way. I havent watched HWG either but just read the synopsis. I might watch it in future.

About Love or Bread the story is too plain, but I might watch it if i have nothing else to watch. It'd be good to watch Ariel in a different role after ISWAK & TKA
