"Da Dong" Jiro Wang and Wu Chun are again fighting for top male position in Fahrenheit! Da Dong's new drama [ToGetHer] has yet to show brilliant in Taiwan's ratings but it has been widely supported overseas. Especially since it has been airing in Singapore lately, ratings even beat Wu Chun's [Hana Kimi]. Da Dong has been dominating significantly.

Wu Chun temporarily resting from acting projects

Fahrenheit has left no stone unturned, achieving popularity in Taiwan, Hong Kong, South-East Asia, Japan and Korea. Within the quartet, Wu Chun was the first to "fly solo" by choosing to be lead of an idol drama while Jiro Wang followed later on. [Rolling Love] and [ToGetHer] were both dramas that the company had tailor-made for him while after filming movie [Butterfly Lovers] and being busy with Fahrenheit concerts, Wu Chun is still choosing scripts and he has temporarily stopped accepting acting projects.

Da Dong's charm beats Entertainment Big Brother

Da Dong's new drama [ToGetHer] has left no stone unturned in overseas ratings. At the end of last month, they personally went to promote in Singapore and sure enough, it was effective. When it aired on Singapore's Channel U, ratings reached 7.7. This timeslot has aired Takeshi Kaneshiro's [Perhaps Love], Taiwanese variety shows [Entertainment Big Brother] 綜藝大哥大 and [Jacky Go Go Go] but none have reached this result and it even beat Wu Chun's [Hana Kimi]'s record of 5.9, creating a new ratings record for idol dramas airing in Singapore. Calculating in accordance with Singapore's population, [ToGetHer] has attracted 290,000 viewers. Jiro Wang's idol charm has beaten Entertainment Big Brother Zhang Fei and Jacky Wu. Moreover, [ToGetHer] will soon air in Brunei, snatching top male in South-East Asia Wu Chun's territory!

Hearing about drama's ratings, Da Dong was very happy but being accused of snatching Wu Chun's territory, he said jokingly, "We're all one family, snatching territory doesn't matter!" Moreover, he wants to invite Rainie Yang to Brunei for a trip and when the time comes, they can even ask Wu Chun to be their tour guide!

Yeah! TGh got high ratings in Singapore. Hope fans will ignore the comparison between Hana Kimi and TGh. The main point is that Farheneheit dramas are doing good overseas ^_^ I heard that TGH airs on Channel U (?) so hope fans will continue to support ^^
It'll be nice if they air the series here in the U.S. so I could watch it too.
