He’s got the lips

Taiwanese teen-idol Mike He has seven kissing scenes in love drama

HE has been in the business for hardly a year. But Mike He Junxiang is already an expert when it comes to locking lips with female co-stars onscreen. The 21-year-old made his showbiz debut in Li Sinje’s music video Love Wrongly, where he shared a sizzling kiss with the Malaysia-born actress-singer.

He then went on to smooch singer Landy Wen in her music video Wish Me A Happy Birthday. And in the idol drama Love Contract, Mike shares no less than seven kisses with his leading lady Lin Yichen. He plays Yichen’s love interest Ken, a reticent guy who is afraid to fall in love.

He said: ‘It’s actually very stressful to do kissing scenes! I don’t dare to NG (no-good takes) too many times, because you don’t want your co-star to think you are taking advantage. ‘And if you NG too much, you will also lose the ‘feel’ of the kiss, and it will look very stiff on screen.’

He was discovered by talent scouts on the streets of Taipei a year ago and soon gained attention thanks to his good looks.
Mike, who also hosts Entertainment News with Lin Youwei, claims that he hadn’t had much experience in kissing, since he had only one relationship before.

He is rather grateful to his ‘first woman’ Sin-je, who helped him get into the groove.
‘She is a Best Actress after all, and she was very cool before our kissing scene. She just told me to treat her like a girlfriend, and she also took the lead in the kiss, so I felt very relaxed.’

Acting career

Se7en accepted the lead role for the Korean drama Goong S, a spinoff of the popular drama Goong. The first episode of Goong S premiered on January 10, 2007 on MBC; the average nationwide rating for the entire series was 9.7%, which was considerably lower than the ratings of its predecessor, Goong.

Despite the low ratings, Goong S was the most searched and rewatched drama online; it ranked higher than its competition: KBS2 Dal Ja's Spring and SBS Surgeon Bong Dal Hee^[22]. The drama has also gained a wide variety of support from international fans in the U.S., Thailand, Malaysia, Brazil, Australia, and Singapore.^[23].

Although he is aware that criticisms still remain, Se7en has taken note of those criticisms and is determined to continue acting in the near future^[24]. Se7en had said that even though the drama was not of much of a success, he does not ever regret accepting the role of his character in the drama. It even helped Se7en to sing with more emotion during performances. He also mentioned that he was thankful to have a chance to work with the drama crew and take his career to a new level by acting ^[25].
