王心凌, or Cyndi Wang’s彩虹的微笑 (The Rainbow’s Smile) is a song from the popular drama 微笑pasta, or “Smiling Pasta”. 微笑Pasta, which translates into “smiling pasta” (yes that is pasta in English) tells the story of a young girl (played by Cyndi Wang) who coincidentally meets 何群 (He Qun), a super famous and super popular singer. Try as he might,何群 (He Qun), played by 張東梁 (Nicholas Teo) from Malaysia, cannot get rid of Cyndi’s character, 成曉詩 (Cheng Xiao Shi). From playfully texting him from across the room in class to speaking out against the paparazzi, she is constantly at his side. 成曉詩 (Cheng Xiao Shi) helps 何群 (He Qun) learn to live with the past and make up with his rebellious younger brother. At the same time, 何群 (He Qun) helps his girlfriend deal with the problems that come from dating a national superstar and supports her loving family, which runs the Italian (yes, in Taiwan) restaurant微笑 pasta. The restaurant lends its name to the drama and it is indeed a good name; the entire drama is very happy go lucky. 微笑pasta aired during the summer of 2006 and had very very high ratings, especially considering the fact that it aired concurrently with the highly anticipated drama “The Hospital” (featuring F4’s Jerry Yan) in Taiwan. The song 彩虹的微笑 (The Rainbow’s Smile) is also very happy go lucky; Cyndi’s voice is good for a song that can cheer you up on a day that you’re feeling down. I must admit, as an American born Chinese, when I first listened to this song, I was a little put off by the parts of it that were in English. After hearing it several times though, I can think of no better words for it than fun and charming. So give it a couple of listens (it’s on the short side too).
