Series Review: Love Storm

Well I never thought I would do this but I should start writing some bad reviews as well. Before I watch Faiz or do a review, I would like to do a review on the disaster that is Love Storm. It's so bad I can't really watch it. It stars Vivian Xu as the spoiled brat Jia Le, Vic Chou as Liu Ying Fong and Ken Chu as Bao Long. Sure the story has some interesting twists but all I can say poor acting ruined the story which could have been done better. And also the story is pretty stupid the start with. So where do I begin? It starts with Jia Le seeing her aunt run away with all people a MAFIA? Stupid. And it does get dumber when Jia Le is one obnoxious brat which the situation is made worse by Vivian Xu's very low quality acting, Vic Chou that time was hardly convincing (he was still on the way to being polished) and Ken Chu is pretty corny and not convincing here. If I'm to talk, Jia Le does get annoying with her talking, acting, UGH! Really, Vivian Xu does give me nightmares to the point that I almost didn't watch Kamen Rider Kiva because Yu Takahashi kinda looked like her.

For the story of Liu Ying Fong, it was pretty interesting. He was the adoptive son of Ma Ye and was liked by his foster sister (looks like he wasn't even legally adopted) played by the late Xu Wei Lun. I just felt that his development with Jia Le was totally uncalled for, no chemistry and it looks like Vic Chou was annoyed by the script his acting got so bad in here! I mean, in Come to My Place he was convincing as a bad guy but here, no, just no! It's stupid! For Bao Long, well I wonder why on Earth would he want to date an annoying girl like Jia Le? I mean his half-sister Bao Lu (well they have different mothers, he was a child born by a premarital affair as later revealed and he was adopted by his stepmother) had OTHER friends, even one is pretty hot I'd date her! And the love triangle is so bland plus every pacing gets so bad. Also, the comedy is hardly funny I'd rather watch Spongebob Squarepants or I'd rather cry myself buckets of tears watching Qiong Yao. So this is a good show to avoid in general.

My rating? 4/10. This is one drama you should avoid to get a brain freeze! Avoid it like you'd also avoid "Come to My Place".

"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
