Guang Xi and Mu Cheng in "Next Stop Happiness"


After doing a review on "Next Stop Happiness" I think I should do a more close-up focus on Guang Xi and Mu Cheng.  For me, the relationship is one of the most stormy and unexpected ones, yet with a happy ending after all the tears the series produced in the eyes of the viewers.  So it all starts where Guang Xi was the arrogant law student because he's rich and for Mu Cheng, a poor woman with determination in life to get out of her misery.  As a Bento girl, she just wants a happy life, not aspiring to be Cinderella yet meeting the most unexpected Prince Charming in her life- Guang Xi!  So she doesn't expect to fall for Guang Xi, but Guang Xi fell for her and she was just about to become one of his many girls to fool around and dump.  Yet her kindness and gentleness managed to conquer Guang Xi especially when she played the piece "Air on G String" to which, Guang Xi in return saw the error of his ways and fell for Mu Cheng while she had a lover Tuo Ye who she never loved back.

So pretty much, there's the usual "She's too low." objection from Guang Xi's mother who starts off as pretty antagonistic but in a softer way.  So what happens is that when Guang Xi is later discovered to have a brain tumor that could kill him, believing it was the end they got intimate and when they broke up, Mu Cheng discovered she was pregnant with Guang Xi's son.  But she was VERY afraid to admit the truth because of the pain it caused her.  Worse, later Guang Xi under amnesia fell for another girl namely Yi Quan but everything started to come back.  For Guang Xi, he felt something missing was in his life and that pissed him off when he discovered his former girlfriend had hid the truth from him, his son Xiao Le!

What happens later is that Guang Xi discovers his past and leaves his fiance Yi Quan who lets go of him.  But the anger with Mu Cheng was raging hot, so he marries her against her will but maybe not, but she was still in love with him.  But slowly and surely, Mu Cheng's mother-in-law starts to soften up to her, in fact the mother-in-law who initially hated her started to be grateful to her for changing each other.  But I didn't like how Mu Cheng hid a lot of secrets and kept telling white lies, in fact that action nearly caused her happiness to end.  In fact, Mu Cheng was still in love with Guang Xi but was always in pain, denial and she didn't want anyone to see her frail side.  For the supposed divorce, well it turned out to be Guang Xi played a "legal game" on her to get them back together.  Of course, the funny twist after a lot of tears was when Xiao Le was supposedly "kidnapped" and when they strengthened their vows, the two eventually cemented their otherwise stormy relationship for a lifetime.

"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

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

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
