My Drama Addiction - Part 1

So…here I am…writing about my new addiction that made me forget my fictions…mangas and sometimes…my sleeps too (>.<) Frankly, I never watch TV, just because I never find pleasure from watching those series or infotainment or news. Besides, if I have free time, I'd rather spend it on my tablet, flipping thru the pages of my favourite mangas. So it was all started when my WA group was gossiping about a TV series that was adapted from K-drama, titled My Love From the Star. The discussion was heated and I was sooooo curious about this K-drama and suddenly I found myself later that day, buying the DVDs and burning the midnight oil – binged the whole series in 2 nights phewww…talking about curiosity kills a cat…^ . ^

OK, don’t get me wrong…I still dislike TV much (so please don’t ask me about the newest gossip or latest news). I mostly watched my drama thru DVDs or some video streaming site or…copy it from my friends ha ha ha the best way, fastest and cheapest. So last year, I was so occupied with the drama that I neglected my blog (T_T)! but no worry, I made a promise with myself that from this year onward, I will only watch a really good series – which I guessed comes out once in a while. I will share to you my K-drama favourite but not today since now I will focus on the C-drama (since the list was shorter…muchhhhh shorter)   

The Poster of The Sound of the Desert

I don’t like C-drama…for me, the series is too long and sometimes drags on and on and on and I lost my inclination. Some have almost the same plot, amnesia - accident - cancer - lost child - could be said as the major ingredient. However, there were several Chinese TV-series which I managed to finish and surprisingly, all those series have Cecilia Liu as the main actress. The first of my favourite was The Sound of the Desert (aka Ballad of the Desert), telling about a journey of a girl raised by desert wolves into a prominent lady whose heart was being fought over by 2 handsome men. One was the disabled Mo Xun (played by Hu Ge) and another was the Great General Wei Wu Ji (played by Eddie Pheng *drooling*). I’m not going to write the recap here (LOL it was 30something episodes) and I believe you could just google it (even reading the recap needs hours). I liked this movie because of the chemistry between Cecilia Liu and Eddie Pheng…all right…95% because of Eddie Pheng and the rest was the plot. Though I found the plot about the drama-house was too much (i fast-forwarded a lot on this one) but I was very glad when Xin Yue finally chose Wu Ji at the end (yay – felt like Eddie Pheng chose me wkwkwk)

 

The poster of Scarlet Heart

Next on my list was Scarlet Heart (aka Startling by Each Step). Just like on The Sound of the Desert, Cecilia Liu played almost similar character, an opinioned and headstrong woman. I chose this series due to the time travel plot…yes – I have a fixation toward time travel…and Nicky Wu who played as the Fourth Prince Yin Zhen. He has been my heartthrob since I was a girl…though now I have moved on toward others wkwkwk. Here, Cecilia Liu time traveled back to Qing Dynasty and was involved with several princes. Though it was a bit confusing as I had to memorize all those princes’ (about 14) names and faces but I am sooo looking forward to the Korean version of Scarlet Heart (Moon Lovers) in which my dearest oppa Lee Joon Gi will play the Fourth Prince (arrrggghhh can’t hardly wait for September).

 

The poster of The Imperial Doctress

And the last on my list was actually the one that I just finished watching last night, The Imperial Doctress. This time Cecilia Liu played as Tan Yun Xian (though for the rest of the movie, she was Hang Yun Xian), a woman who aspired to be the first female doctor in history of Ming Dynasty. Her character was pretty similar with the previous two but I was disappointed since Yun Xian didn’t end together with Zhu Qi Zhen (Wallace Huo) hiks hiks !(T_T)

Before I sign off, lets cheer together with me for Cecilia Liu and Nicky Wu for their-oh-so-very-romantic wedding party at Bali last week
