dangermousieMmmm, It Started with a Kiss continues its excellence.
Poor Zhi Shu seems to have turned into a porter :D His chiropractor bills will be huge after carting XQ all over the city (I love how this show totally caters to my thing for tiny girls and big guys). He carries XQ to his house next, and of course his excuse is that his Mom is going to kill him if he leaves her but it's so clearly an excuse (though it might be something he even believes into himself, because it would keep him from examining those weird odd feelings he keeps having).
And then there is a banner to welcome XQ home and his Mom mentions The Kiss and ROFL. No wonder ZS is rebelling a bit. But much as I feel sorry for Ah Jin finding out about the kiss, I love the scene where ZS tells him about it and does the whole 'she really enjoyed it, her face was turned up blah blah blah' comment. OMG, Straight for the jugular. It's so Zhu Shi's attempt to mark his territory (even though he doesn't realize it himself) and he totally is jealous of the fact that Jin and XQ are close so it's getting back at Jin by doing 'see, she is actually mine' thing. He so can't control himself around her. ROFL. Especially since the boy is exaggerating just a tad. When he kissed her, XQ looked flabbergasted and shocked more than anything else. She didn't kiss him back or even close her eyes or anything. But heeeee, not that he'd admit it to Jin. I squeed. As I said, feel bad for Jin, but he really is a male XQ in liking someone who never showed any signs of romantically liking him back (it's worse than XQ actually because there she liked someone who didn't know her thus there is a chance if he gets to know her he will fall. But not so here). And XQ is clueless of course and is thinking 'I am back in his house and the kiss is public, ZS must be so mad, that is why he brought this up with Ah Jin.' Clueless girl. I think if and when ZS tells her he likes her, she won't believe him :P
This is remarkably angst free but I adore it. The funny thing is, when I first started it, I thought Joe Cheng was OK looking but what is the fuss about and now I am totally rabid for him :P Also, and rather unrelated, when I was browsing for ISWAK pics last night on soompi, someone quoted JC saying that Mike He was the best kisser in Taiwan. True, he was talking about doing kissing scenes with Ariel Lin who just finished Love Contract with Mike He and the comparison issues, but oh boy, does it look misleading taken out of context, or what. He's just lucky there isn't a dorama RPF comm :P
In other exciting news,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scottishlass made some gorgeous icons for a variety of doramas and actors: Mars, It Started with a Kiss, Love Contract, Mike He, Ariel Lin, and Silence. They are here and you should check them out.
Also,je12_vz9 posted recent pics of Vic Zhou and Barbie Hsu together, thus not only definitively answering my earlier question but also cementing her status as the F4 guru on my flist.
I have also compiled a small list of upcoming doramas that are on my 'must watch' list. They are, in no order,
1. Hana Yori Dango 2 (2007): come on, I loved HYD 1. And this has the same cast and plenty of manga left to cover.
2. Exchange For Love (2007): It's with Mike He and Rainie Yang (the OTP in Devil Beside You). I love 'em both and think they make a good on-screen couple (though I prefer him with Ariel Lin).
3. Just One Love (2006): It's with Kame! And it's a love story! And it sounds angsty! Andwinterspel fully convinced me of his hotness!
4. Emerald on the Roof (2006): It stars Wallace Huo who is totally yummy. And is a love triangle and sounds delish.
5. Hua Yang Shao Nan Shao Nu (2006): Are you kidding me? This is my most anticipated. It's an adaptation of Hana Kimi, one of my favorite mangas, and Wu Zun (who I loved as Liang in Tokyo Juliet) is in it as the male lead who is one of my favorite manga heroes ever.
6. No idea of the name (2007): It's the one that Vic Zhou is doing next where he plays a chef. Geeee, I wonder why I want to see it.
7. It Started with a Kiss 2 (2007): see my reasons for HYD 2.
Any good upcoming Korean ones?
And speaking of things Korean, teaser poster for Rain's I am a Cyborg, but that's OK movie has come out.
