Review: King Flower 金大花的华丽冒险

Synopsis: Ugly Jin Da Hua (Nikki Xie) has buckteeth and a giant mole and bad hair. She's in love with Lin Guan Jun (James Wen), but he only sees her as a sister because of her looks. Du Liang Yan (Nikkie Xie) falls off the cliff while hiking and dies. Terry (Chris Wu), her fiancé offers Da Hua a chance to become pretty by getting plastic surgery to look like Liang Yan.

So...the story is pretty nice and different from the dramas i usually watch. BUT this entire thing was just so boring. My dramas don't have to all be intense (although i prefer that) but it could hardly hold my attention. For example [spoiler alert] when Terry was telling Lian Yan's dad that she was actually dead and got slapped, i was freaking out about failing a level of Candy Crush. That shouldn't happen.
I haven't exactly finished the drama (pretty close though), so i can't talk about the ending. But i do know that Da Hua ends with Guan Jun. I'm not sure if Guan Jun is supposed to be this irritating and hateful. If he is, then James did a good job, because i actually felt some strong feeling towards him.
I also liked Hu Jin Biao, the mafia/triad leader. Yeah, i get that he's the bad guy and i probably shouldn't like him, but it's just so...cute (?) the way he acts around his daughter Hu Xiao Fei (Yuan Ai Fei). This fat guy who was just threatening to chop off people's hands suddenly begging for his daughter to stop being angry. It's really really entertaining.

But everyone else...i don't even know.
If you want a nice, easy drama, you should watch this. I feel like people either love this, or hate it (like me)
