We are in Love Episode 7 is Postponed!

D:

Sorry for the late notice but I just found out now. I thought I was going to be late publishing the recap but I guess the fault won't be on me. 

Mask Episode 1 and 2 First Impression

I like you. I like you very much. I had not expected to like this melodrama but the first episode zoomed by without me knowing. In the second hour I stuck around because I needed to know how that switcheroo happened. By the end of it, the setup was complete.

Mask feels like King Flower done right. Lol. After the fifth episode of that TWdrama, I was fairly certain the drama wasn’t going my way so I dropped it pretty soon. However, I really wanted to add King Flower to my completed list because after that drama finished its run, I did watch all the Terry scenes.  Haha. So, Terry becoming Korean and actually getting the girl without an open ending seems like a pretty good drama to me. I’m also looking forward to Byun Ji Sook/Seo Eun Ha’s addition into his family to fix up everyone. I think I’ll really like this drama if the quality of the plot stays fairly consistent. The mood of this drama is perfect for me: not too dark, not too light (I really do have an aversion to dark stuff).

Murphy’s Law of Love Episode 11

So far the exes prove to be zero threat to our couple.

The Cage of Love Episode 3 and 4

The Cage of Love can be such an off-putting name. It screams possessiveness. So if you really despise possessiveness, you might not want to watch this drama. But I like to mention the drama's really not bad at all. I quite adore it actually. Can’t they have used something similar to its Chinese title, 抓住彩虹的男人, which directly translates to ‘The Man that Held onto Rainbow’. And rainbow in Chinese is pronounced as Cai Hong. Ding Dong Ding. The man that held onto Rainbow is none other then Jiang Yu. And that’s exactly what Jiang Yu does (unconsciously) for these two episodes.

As I post this, I’ve already watched Episode 5 and I think I might just be hooked onto this show. Jiang Yu’s pretty cute with his petty jealously and Cai Hong is oh so smart. (:

The Cage of Love Episode 1 and 2

A simple summary: It’s Romeo and Juliet in the Republican era of China: Jiang Yu’s father is killed and Cai Hong’s father is responsible. And of course, these two, Jiang Yu and Cai Hong, are our star crossed lovers.

It’s a good start albeit typical. The drama seems to rely on the star power of the lovely Zhang Shuang and charming Hawick Lau but the storyline is engaging and wonderfully paced. The future angst is all set up but I'm not dreading it. I think I'm actually looking forward to how the hate in their love-hate relationship will develop from here. 

From what I know this drama will air two episodes every single day starting from May 26 and capping at 35 episodes. It will be a recapping nightmare if I do intend to stick to this drama. I don't know yet. 

We are in Love [我们相爱吧] Episode 6 (Xu Lu and Kimi)

Okay, so the preview fooled me last week. I got teary in this episode but I should clarify that I’ve got one of the world’s most sensitive pair of lacrimal ducts. Ever. 

Murphy's Law of Love Episode 10

Things are still sailing smoothly. I feel like I'm just waiting for that storm to hit me anytime now. 

On a side note, I recently checked out Li Jia Yin’s/Ivelyn Lee (Guan Xiao Tong) profile and she’s born in 1983. This girl is 32 years old… BUT! The real shocker is she’s actually one year older than Danson Tang… My brain cannot absorb this fact. 

We are in Love Episode 5 Tidbit (Xu Lu and Kimi)

This week’s extra tidbit was funny so I’m doing a little recap on it. (:

♦ ♦ ♦

Also I'd like to make a little clarification for Episode 1. I realized I missed the beginning portion when I was recapping/translating it. In the beginning, all the cast members were interviewed for particular characteristics they'd like in their partner. It's really short but it explains the confusion on my part about this whole astrology issue. Here it is: 

[3:18 of the full segment of Episode 1] Kimi reveals his wish list for his partner to be:  "Long hair. Dimples. Just like Liu Yi Fei. As long as she isn’t Capricorn. If I want to cherish my life, then I need to keep a distance from Capricorns" (I think that applies to him only or his star sign…)

If you're confused about the context, I've edited my post for Episode 1 so you can look there for a better clarification. 

Sorry guys! >.<

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.

We are in Love [我们相爱吧] Episode 5 (Xu Lu and Kimi)

Our “flustered couple” is pretty much comfortable with each other and this episode showers us with just that.
