dangermousieSo.
I started twdrama Wish to See You Again.
Half an ep in, and I am in giddy, gleeful love.
It is so quirky. I know it's a weird word to use for a drama (or for anything that isn't either a New Yorker cartoon or a quilt sold at a flea market), but it is.
So tongue-in-cheek and rather clever.
In some ways, it is more of a jdrama than a twdrama, at least so far.
Maybe it's because for the first half of the episode, all the 'action' centers around our protagonist's writer's block, and his increasingly neurotic attempts to deal with it.
I don't know what I love more: Is it the sight of our protagonist, Xu Le (Vic Zhou), hair uncombed, face unshaven, and increasingly manic in his nightmarishly messy hotel room, try to come up with the plot for his new novel, but instead ending up with the tripest imaginable scenes (which are totally like parodies of many a twdrama). Or is it his more and more outlandish attempts to fight his writer's block, at one point going as far as considering whether an electric shock would help. Or fixating on an apple his friend gave him as a potential source of inspiration. LOL.
It's just I think I so have been there, so tired any rational thought is impossible but that tiredness making you even more neurotic and not letting you either go to bed or do what you should.
Heeee.
Plus, the dialogue is so snappy.
It just struck me as so...awesome.
And this is when I knew I was going to love this drama. Yes. At the opening credits.
His novel version self (it's hilarious that he imagines himself as a protagonist in these cheestastic things) is much better groomed and is shaven at least :)
LOLOLOLOL oh no wonder his imagination is stalled:
His real self is not pleased with this scene :P
So LOLtastic.
Ahhh, writer's block. We've all been there. And a lot of us aren't even paid professionals. Is it me or does he look like a Taiwanese Ethan Hawke?
Crazy alert! Heeee.
I just like the shot of all his books. And his really grumpy answerphone greeting.
Despair!
His BFF is Kingone. Now we know he is cool :)
Seriously, so Ethan Hawke.
Mockery!
Cute heroine:
