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

Hey guyss!~


Wazzup? Haven't been blogging in a while and well, I decided that I would finally write something to pass the time. What more to write about than...well all the fun lil asian stuffs coming up.


It's 2010! New year, and definately more memories to produce. This year, I celebrated New Years and countdown at my aunt's house. Christmas was spent at my house where we had...you guessed it! Hot Pot! 2009 Christmas Party was extreme. We karaoke'd for a good 3-4 hours and eventually gave up on trying to find songs, so we moved onto cards! Intense very very intense but it was a lot of fun. On New Years Eve, we had buffet at Buffet King, it was nice and then we went back to my aunt's house for countdown and more karaoke. ^^


So in January, my favourite band - Fahrenheit, was supposed to release their 4th album. But almost expectedly, their release was delayed because they didn't have enough time to record, each member busy with their own filming for dramas, and many sicknesses going on between them, they had recorded 5 songs. But then in an interview, Arron had confirmed that their album release will be in August, so I guess thats 7 more months of waiting, but its worth it. :)


Also, over the break, I had finished watching Arron Yan's drama, Pi Li Mit also known as Clue Collectors. Honestly, I never thought that Arron, out of all members, would've been a wonderful actor, enough to support a leading role anyways. But it was WONDERFUL. 007 is like the cutest most caring boyfriend in the land of forever! Thank you to Arron for bringing such a character to life.


Currently, I am watching the drama "Love Contract" starring Ariel Lin and Mike He. A few months ago I had been interested in the drama already now, I finally have the chance to watch it. More to come about that later. Credits to alldramafanatics.blogspot.com.


So busy now-a-days! Like goodness! In less than three weeks, exams will begin for me and well, my first exam is more than literally around the corner. This Friday is my first playing test for music and the monday after, being my accompinament test. The Wednesday after will be my written music exam. INCREDIBLE. Too much music to learn, too little time. Best of luck to all the people out there that will to be examining within the next few weeks.


Exams marks the end of semester 1. This semester I had Music, Science, Geography and French. Basically, it was all easy. At first, I had gotten tired of having all these classes over and over again I mean, it's my first year of highschool and we never really had this kind of stuff before right? But the more I got used to the schedule, the closer I got to my classmates. And unfortunately, I don't have the same people in my classes next semester, but I'm glad to say that at least we have four years together after all right?


I'll stop rambling on about random stuff now. It's fun living a normal life now ^^ The past is the past and now I know, the past isn't something that can be changed no matter what happens so best live the way you want to now, in the present and in the future. DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY! CHEERS! HAVE A HAPPY 2010!
