dangermousie: (Silence Vic by scottishlass)

I am still working on replies to the replies to the friendslist love meme post (OK, that was convoluted :P)

How could anyone not like Why Why Love, the fluffy, delicious Taiwanese concoction? Seriously.

If you are yet not convinced, just check out this MV:



Seriously, I defy you to not die of the cute.

Also, what is with evil parents in dramaland? I sorta want to murder Mike He's character's father, only take out the 'sorta.' His two sons are in an accident (by being speed-racing demons, very mature :D) and he asks about his eldest's condition (the awesome Kingone) and when the girl who is telling him starts to tell him about the injuries of his youngest, his response? 'Him, I don't need to know.'

*stab*

But then generally I find myself mildly perplexed by dramaworld rules. :P I just gotten my hands on The Hospital, last year's Jerry Yan drama. Now, I know of Jerry Yan in three dramas: Meteor Garden (and the sequel), Love Scar (a short, three ep drama I haven't watched yet because I don't speak Chinese and there aren't subs) and now The Hospital.

In all three he plays a guy ditched by a girl, temporarily or not. OK, how does this work? He is 6'+ of pure gorgeousness. In realworld, he'd have to beat girls off with a stick, but in drama world he is apparently a girl-less wonder :D I know he looks good angsting, but come on :) The only reason he didn't get girl-angst in Meteor Rain was because it was pre-Shan Cai and he has 'property of Shan-Cai' tattooed on his forehead. Plus, they were busy giving him cute mute moppet angst.

In other news, Love Storm is being subbed.

I have just watched the first ep.

You have no idea how giddy it makes me.

It stars Vic Zhou, who is my favorite drama actor ever. I will basically watch a paint-peeling commercial if he is in it. Add Ken Chu (another F4 boy. *swoons for Xi Men* Though I guess they are called JVKV now. Ehhh, I prefer 'F4') and a fluffy romance with bits of angst and a happy ending? And kissing? I am set.

Don't misunderstand me, it's not a forgotten masterpiece. But it's a bit of silly, passing-the-time-pleasantly drama :)



Here is an adorable OTP vid:






And here are reasons to watch:

Reason 1: The LOLz. Seriously. Just look at this without your eyes bleeding. This is the heroine's bedroom :)





Reason 2: The HOT. Vic is a mysterious stranger who saves the heroine from being run over, thus winning her girlish heart. Problem: she has no idea who he is, where he lives, or even his name.



Reason 3: The HOT, Mark 2. Ken is the heroine's childhood friend, who has returned after years abroad with third the weight and ten times the hotness:



Oh, and because I don't like neglecting kdramas. I've decided Lee Jun Ki should star in every drama, because then subs come out super fast. There are subs for all of four eps of Time between Dog and Wolf already.

Check out what happens in ep 4:





Yup, that is our hero and his OTP:





Dead yet?

You forgot Jerry Yan's arms. His arms are a gift to the women of the world. His arms cause the "pause" button to be hit to allow for spacing out.

Ken's hair looks much better in Love Storm than in MG, IMO.

The room...it is, indeed, and work of...something...but I keep flashing to Xiang Qin's room in ISWAK, and Akira's entire HOUSE in HYD2...

Oh...his arms definitely cause me to space out. I don't know what he does to keep in shape, but I am very very grateful.

Am trying to remember his hair in MG. It didn't impress me one way or another, which I guess is an improvement over hair disasters like Mike He's in DBY or MatsuJun in Hanadan1.

LOL. We have found our trifecta of horrors.

Ken's hair in MG was really straight and shoulder length, not bad...but just kinda hanging off his head. This looks to be rather flattering, though.

The rooms...I think dramas just try to live up to manga designs a bit too much at times, really...I think the house wins, though.

Yeah, this is a nice haircut. He loses the girl to Vic though, so I think he might have been better off sticking with old hair :P

But this is not even based on a manga, so it has no excuse :P

It's a good thing I've been into Bollywood for a good long time before getting into dramas, because otherwise the fashion and the decor would drive me nuts.

LOL THE ROOM. *dies* And wow, Vivian in a drama. I knew she starred in dramas but I never knew how she fared in acting until now.

Why Why Love is giving me DBY vibes. Rainie's hair is the same, and so is her fashion sense, and near the end of the first vid, Mike even says, "I command you".

O_O Is it like DBY?

Vivian is OK in this. Mind you, I've only seen the first ep, and this is not exactly a drama in which to stretch one's acting chops, but she is good enough.

O_O Is it like DBY?

A little. Rainie is the sweet (even a bit of a pushover) girl, and Kingone is the serious dutiful one she initially likes, and Mike He is the badboy with parental trauma.

But I like it way better than DBY (take into account that I am one of ten people who didn't love DBY). Mainly because Rainie doesn't really seem to be a pushover, despite her sweetness (she smacks Mike :P), and Kingone isn't rejected right away :P and Mike He, in addition to not having awful hair, actually has plenty of reasons to be messed up as his dad=EVIL. Plus, I like the secondary characters and by the end of DBY, I ended up not caring about anyone but Kingone and his OTP.

What is your official word on Love Storm? Should it be watched or avoided? Are there any annoying love triangles I should know about before venturing into the drama?

Date: 2011-03-05 07:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
Hmmm. I'd say watch, but I am a hardcore Vic fangirl. The love triangle is very much present but it didn't bother me. Warning - heroine is kinda ditzy. This doesn't bug me but mmv.

I finally found and downloaded eps of it. Pity today's the last day of the weekend. Now I'm going to have to wait till next weekend to watch it if I don't want to skip classes tomorrow...Unless...you know, school's not important to me anymore anyways *scampers off to watch*
