Review:
My Overall Rating: 9.5/10
Storyline: 8.5/10
Acting: 9/10
Effectiveness: 10/10
First thing is first, I was never a fan of Bi (Rain) therefore I completely forgot the fact that he was even the star of this drama before I watched it (I didn't even know what his face looked like.)
My previous knowledge before being introduced to the drama was this:
-Rain was in this? (what I knew about him: Good dancer, Model, Singer, Actor?)
-Good drama
That was it.
So I went ahead and watched it.
It was brilliant.
Several times in the drama, it brought me to tears as in bawling my eyes out. And throughout the entire series I was thinking: Dude! How can you be so stupid?! You should be doing this or doing that!
And thus, you would know I was really into the drama.
Love: The build-up of the relationships in the characters weren't too rushed, they went at a nice even pace when it came to getting over old love, getting into new love and the process of denial and acceptence. I gotta say, this drama kinda brings all the fangirl's dreams to life. I mean, having a celebrity that you suddenly meet and being forced to marry and live with them. It's nice in some ways right? Well either way, between the love and the comedy of the two main characters, it's the most beautifully acted thing you can find. Time to fall in love with Rain all over again! (Or start anyways :P )

Review:
My Overall Rating: 8.5/10
Storyline: 9/10
Acting: 8/10
Effectiveness: 8/10
I had actually started watching this drama as it was airing on TV but then soon gave up on it because the beginning was good but not as captivating as I thought it would be. What's more is that the episodes were particularily long (approx. 1hour 15 minutes including songs.) And so I didn't have much patience to watch it (though I wanted to support Arron Yan who stars in this drama.) I started watching it due to the fact that I needed something to do on my bus rides to and from school.
Overall, I thought that Pi Li Mit was a good drama, particularily because it isn't the typical love drama and not the typical horror drama. The storyline behind it actually builds to the end through several other storylines which is really creative in my sense and at the end, it all ties up.
The relationship between characters are changed and left mysterious even until the end, revealing bit by bit but having enough to make the ending stand out.
Personally, I think that the acting for each character had been different considering the fact that each actor themselves have come from different entertainment background. Arron through the music industry, Gui Gui through acting and singing in a large group, Xiao Gui being a television host. The only constant actors I know of were Christine Fan and Lu Ting Wei.
Love: Of course, if it were up to me, Gui Gui and Arron, (or in this case Lucifer and 007) would've never been together due to the fact that...well I don't like them together. But in this drama, they actually seemed to match, making me accept the fact that, though they probably would be a horrible couple in real life, they have a chance as Lucifer and 007. I didn't want to watch the drama due to the fact that I knew I would cry as their romance progressed, and it's true, I did, but in a way, their relationship was interesting...which is where I'm leaving at now.
All in all, I do suggest that people out there would watch this drama because it is a good drama and different from the typical romance or whatever drama.

My Life : 2010 Part 1 - Music, Dramas, Exams, Winter Break

08.30.09 Tears of a Broken Heart. Unable to Heal.
Truth is, you're right. But the reality of things is that, regardless whether or not I've met him, I truly do still love him. Sure, not in the way of a boyfriend or lover. But the fact that he is an idol, an upperclass man to me that I look up to and he had taught me a lot in life. Not by his songs, but by his past and his work efforts for his fans.
Down to earth as he is, he admitted "I'm unable to heal from my past relationship because I am the type to give my all to the person I love." His words, as peainful as it is, revealed that he too is human, to those who aren't cleared up about it in a first place. He too has a life. Many times, he's given his heart and had done everything in his power to make that person happy, yet at the end, he's the one getting hurt.
In this particular article/ interview, his ex had used him for his money and his title as a celebrity.
Knowing this, I now think to myself, why do people do that? Is it not right that they would know that if they were in the celebrit's situation that they too would be hurt. And to think that Arron gave up so much for that one girl only to be backstabbed because she wanted the advantage's of being a celeb's gf.
Well newsflash, there is karma in this world. Hurting someone so despicably even afer all that they've given you? Sure, I love him. All his fans love him. But I've learnt my lesson from the past, I wouldn't goo around claiming to love him enough to be his gf until I know for sure I love the Wu GengLin Arron in him. Not the crazy awesome singer/ star he's become. In fact, because I'd be doubting myself, unless he loves me back (in which case I'd be sure I knew him by then,) I would very much prefer to be a friend or a sister to him.
It's just...I understand why someone would do it. But it hurts me so much to see him like this, unable to love again.
Like I had mentioned before. I love Arron not only because of his talent and personality but because of the things he'd made me realize.
Today's lesson: Love like there's no tomorrow. But while receiving, live up to your committment and your words. You never know who might be watching. A broken bone heals with time but a broken heart is forzen in tears, scars and misery.

Angel Singing To Me
Why I wrote this song? I don't really have a clue except that when I was washing dishes on night, because it's one of those things that only keeps your mind busy, I ended up thinking of lyrics.
Immediately after I had finished, I say down and wrote out the words resembling my feelings towards Arron.
The song's basic purpose is that I'm telling people the words I've always wanted to say towards this one person.
Everytime I listen to him sing, my heart goes ecstatic and it makes my day. His laugh, a cheerful laughter that tells you he's not holding back. It's a sign of happiness for me.
Him being my number one idol, I envy his voice, his talent and most of all, him being able to express himself or having the nerve to express his real thoughts regardless the public's opinion. He's able to be himself yet make the fans happy all in one. It's also the fact that he's constantly risking his health and putting his career before anything else. Proof of his exhaustion yet great amounts of effort are shown throughout his career in talk shows, news reports, constant visits to the hospital, during concerts, and most sacrificing of all, not being able to know about his grandfather's death in which his family had hidden from him for weeks.
I wrote this song based not on his life. But based on the way his voice effects me. A pure devotion to Arron's talent, not about his hard work, something that brings me to misery in which no words can describe.
Everytime I hear about his injuries, bad health conditions, lack of sleep, and emotional worries, my world plunges into darkness in which words can not comply. I shed tears for him, as do all his fans, in hoping one day he can do what he enjoys best without harm and knowing that no matter what, he has the support of us.
This song I wrote was a mere dedication to him, only 1000 words can even come close to my support and belief in him.
