The Whirlwind Girl | Review

The Whirlwind Girl Synopsis: a girl’s whirlwind journey to mastering Yuan Wu Dao and three men’s journey in pursuing that whirlwind girl.

Overall tone of the drama is light and breezy. You’ve got three guys chasing this one girl. The girl is pure and angelic; the guys are either a serious dude, a cocky dude, or a kind dude. Pretty much standard stuff. The drama balances out the romance and the sport element rather decently.

The Whirlwind Girl Episode 1


I’ll only be recapping one episode to introduce the drama and then I'll write a full review on it later.

In short, this drama is a long shot from being a home-run but it’s like playing a really good catch and throw game. You get what you expect. And you get quality.

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.
