My Amazing Bride Review
Here’s my basic synopsis: it’s about a sane, wonderful woman
falling in love with an intellectually disabled genius, wrapped up with a plot involving the dethronement of a king.
This drama was completely overlooked. It’s got quality in
terms of acting and plot. Despite the kiddish opening theme song, the drama’s got more heart than the silliness
it’s desperately selling. True to its nature though, it was fun and zippy without being overladen with draggy clichés. If it’s a plus for you, you probably don’t need a box of Kleenex.

The Four Episode 33 and 34
I give up. I give up. I GIVE UP! This will be my last “recap”
of this drama or it will be the death of me. At this point I just want
all the bad guys to prevail and take over that darn universe and blow it up to smithereens.
I really didn’t want another dropped series but I can’t keep
up with this drama. It exceeds my logic.

The Four Episode 29 - 32
How can a reunion after six episodes of dreadful separation be so bland? Show, you are a genius.
The Four Episode 25 - 28
This drama is so terrible, I ought to make it worse. This isn’t a recap; it’s nowhere near it. If anyone has been following me on this series (which I doubt), I’ve never done a proper job of recapping anyways. So please do click away from this post. I beg of you. Really.

The Four Review (Episode 2 - 12)
Yes, I gave up on recapping
this. If I were to continue recapping, I’d be too busy nitpicking and not
enjoying the show. I’ll be frank, the acting’s way below par and the storyline…well
it’s a bit too fluffy with no substance and too much CG. After the first few episodes I thought
I was just going to check in and check out once in a while but I ended up not
only being caught up, I also find myself thinking about it once in a while. I
think I’m a little addicted – I mean additions are usually on the bad stuff, right? I’m actually a sucker for the romance between Leng
Xue and Chu Li Mo and for the backdrop of four handsome guys spinning around – I
mean fighting – and solving cases.

The Four Episode 1
My first exposure to The Four series was with the TVB
version and I loved it. I’m delving into this one hoping it’ll be even better. Don’t disappoint me! Although I’m a bit wary of why this took so
long to see the day of light when it was filmed ages ago. I’m hoping that having
a longer shelf life means better quality and not the opposite. Did I jinx anything?
If I were to summarize episode one right here I’d say it was
divided into two parts: the first chunk was purely to show off it`s CGI skills; the second part was dedicated to Janine Chang.

My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 1
From the same novelist, Gu Man,
of “Boss & Me”/”Shan Shan Comes to Eat”, comes “My Sunshine” or “Silent Separation” (a direct translation from the Chinese title). I've decided to invest some
of my love from “Boss & Me” to this new show by recapping it. It better satisfy
my hangover from “Boss & Me”. First episode
started off not with bang but quite decent, which is something because not a lot of Chinese dramas keep me at bay within the first 20 minutes. On a
side note, If I were you, I'd totally refrain from watching Chinese drama trailers because they have
no intention of hiding any spoilers… None.
