Taiwanese drama: Reaching for the Stars 台灣的連續劇: 真命天女

We have started watching the Taiwanese drama, Reaching for the Stars 真命天女. The actresses are from the Taiwanese pop group S.H.E. who also sing the songs in the soundtrack for the drama as well. This group is popular in large parts of the Chinese-speaking world. I have run into their posters 到處都碰到她們的海報 in several cities. They are fun to watch in action and the plots of their dramas are always a little complex with lots of subplots 情節很複雜. Three women born in the same year, month and day in very different circumstances in life are reaching up through what life can throw at them to ‘reach for the stars.’

I really liked their former drama, the Rose (蔷薇之戀, which actually had a theme of redemption at the end, with lots of complex emotions, surprising developments, good songs and beautiful scenes of an estate on Yang Ming Shan 陽明山. I heard from a friend in the entertainment industry that the director is a Christian 基督徒 and I can see the influence.
