What I Liked and Didn't Like About Meteor Garden II

Meteor Garden I was good but Meteor Garden II though as much as I liked it, I didn't like it as much.  

Here's what I like about it:

  1. Dao Ming Feng as the evil witch is given an extended part.  She's so important a villain to be given so less a role!  
  2. Dao Ming Si's character development.  At least in the end, he becomes more mature.
  3. More emphasis on Dao Ming Si-Hua Tze Lei love triangle is given.

Here are the weaker sides of the drama:

  1. Less confrontation between Shan Cai and Dao Ming Feng.  Shan Cai's weaker side is revealed, then again even every tough weed has a weakness.
  2. Yesha.  Yeesh.  I really didn't like her character even if I didn't want her to die or anything.  I just felt like she was getting in the way without knowing it. :P
  3. Also Ximen's father.  He reminds me of some of my character flaws.  Well the show got me to a certain point!
  4. Ge Wei Ru should have acted as Ximen's mom.  I think she looks too elegant to be a mistress, she should have been HIS MOM!
  5. The story was too long.  Seriously everybody should have focused on making more dramas instead of a sequel for Meteor Garden II!
  6. Xiao You has gone missing.  Oh crud.  Why oh why?
  7. Pace Wu's acting is so bad.  She's pretty, yes but that's just it.  But seriously Esther Liu is hotter than she is and a MUCH better actress, no offense.  
  8. The breakup of Lei and Jing.  Then again, Winnie Qian left due to some other reasons so it was pretty unavoidable.
  9. Not to mention EXTREMELY dragging for my taste for a regular soap opera.  Too many fillers in between too.

      I didn't think Dao's amnesia was a weaker side to it.

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

  SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her.  The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

  This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think.  Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi
