Review: Sweet Sweet Bodyguard 剩女保镖

Brief Synopsis (of main plot)
Zhen Ai Jia (Summer Meng- why does dramawiki list her as teresa meng?) was raised military style and was trained to be a bodyguard by her dad, but all she wants to do is to be a "normal girl". So, she signs a contract with her dad that after this last client, she will retire and get married. But, of course, the client He Zhong Qi (Alien Huang) is arrogant, full of rules, and full of insults. Ai Jia wants to do many things to him, but protecting is not one.


My Thoughts
This 82 eps drama took me way Way WAY too long to watch. Different parts made me love/hate the drama in different ways...so spoiler alert!

First Impression: Patisserie with No Name 没有名字的甜点店

Synopsis: Tian Tian (Sandrine Pinna) is a pastry chef (is that what they're called?) who just came back to Taiwan from France. (btw: when she speaks some French it makes me sooo happy that I can understand her with my French 2 vocab). She opens the patisserie...and it doesn't have a name. Allen (Liu Yi Hao) got his stuff stolen which caused him to run around (shirtless) and end up at the patisserie. He decides to work there and that's how our OTP meets. Yu Shang Wen (Shiou/ Xiu Jie Kai) is some awesome chef from France and Tian Tian's ex. There are a bunch of mini stories (mostly 1 ep long) for all the different customers.

Review: Bad Boy's Diary 恶男日记

Ok. I was so SO excited for this drama. Why? Well of the 3 bad boy's I love 2 of them (JR Chien and Harry Chang). And the plot seemed so inappropriate (the goal in the beginning was for one guy to lose his virginity) and so different from all other TW dramas. And the first couple of episodes were hilarious. And then....

Bu Bu Jing Qing 步步静情 Trailer

OMG!!! Finally!!! A ten minute trailer for the Bu Bu Jing Xin/Startling by Each Step sequel is out. A lot of people think it's not good enough to be the sequel and might ruin the memory of BBJX. But in my opinion, i love it. It just looks so intense, albeit a little confusing.

I Love 刘连城 Liu Lian Cheng

So I just watched 倾世皇妃/Glamorous Imperial Concubine (I know, a little late) and I have NEVER 2ND-LEAD SHIPPED THIS BADLY IN MY LIFE. and it has NOTHING to do with the fact that I'm on a Wallace Huo craze right now. 
And about this drama. Everything is just a perspective thing. No one was perfect or innocent, because love is selfish. The evil Ma Xiang Yun (Hong Xiao Lin) did everything because she was jealous of Ma Fu Ya (Ruby Lin), and her crazy-messed up love for Liu Lian Cheng (aka 榴莲城/Durian City). But he hated her for being terrible and trying to kill his love, Ma Fu Ya. She, in turn, hated him, for killing her father and capturing her love. All she thought about was who she loved, which wasn't Lian Cheng. And Meng Qi You (Yan Kuan), I don't want to talk about him.
Ma Fu Ya did not deserve Durian City's love. Ok. So, to me, he is the "broken bad boy". He was hurt so badly and in order to protect himself, he became the cruel, heartless person he was. But deep down, he was an amazing person, and just needed some love. But no one would give him that love. Even though he did everything for that girl.

2013 New Swordsman 笑傲江湖 Review

Ok. This is my first review...and blog post. So...
The drama is totally popular in China right now.

I couldn't tell the difference between the characters for pretty much 2 episodes. Then I kind of got it, and the first half of the drama was ok. I made myself watch the entire thing for Qiao En (Played Dong Fang Bu Bai) and Wallace Huo (Ling Hu Chong). If you like seeing them together, please watch this drama. They are so cute and I am soooo in love with Wallace right now.Don't get me started on fangirling over him.

The biggest problem with this drama is the casting, imo. Most of the characters that should be old are way too young. Especially the 4 that guards Ren Wo Xing. And I'm sorry, I don't like Yuan Shan Shan and her character, Ren Ying Ying, isn't much better. Maybe it's my bias, seeing as I'm a fan of Qiao En, but I don't think she's that great of an actor.
But for some reason, I love this drama. I don't know why. Maybe it's the OST. I must say, the songs are all so awesome. The opening theme song, Xiao Yao, sung by Wallace, is the best. Some of the other ones sound sort of similar, but I can overlook it.
Basically, this drama sucks, but I'm fangirling over it.
