Bump Off Lover

This is a very dark drama since it deals with human nature, revenge, jealously, and death. It is very suspenseful and thrilling to watch since you want to find out the truth, the motives, and the killers. It's also kind of scary to watch at night and alone since there are some "popping" scenes. A very creative and good Taiwanese drama since it doesn't focus on love like the rest of the other typical idol dramas (the title of this drama doesn't make sense at all so don't be thrown off by its name). BOL is a must watch but too bad it's kind of underrated and not really known about since the cast is pretty much unknown besides Angela Zhang.

Angela Zhang: A lot of people praised Angela in here and I have to agree, she did a fantastic job playing twins since it was believable that they were two different persons. Her hair was really horrible in here though and she kind of reminded me of Vicki Zhao sometimes since they both have large eyes but I think Angela is a better actress. 5*****

Julian Yang: He's not really handsome but his acting was pretty good. I thought his acting was sometimes inconsistent in the beginning but that was due to his character. 5*****

Lu Ting Wei: His character was likable and he's sort of cute, but sometimes his acting was kind of stiff. 4****

Angela+Julian: They were cute together. 4****

Angela+Lu Ting Wei: They were okay since I wanted him to end up with Shi Jing Jing more. 3***

Angela+Zhang Shan Jie: They were the cutest couple since they had the most innocent love... 4****

Lu Ting Wei+Shi Jing Jing: Shi Jing Jing's role was kind of useless but I like the friendship she had with Lu Ting Wei. 3***

Opening and Ending songs by Angela Zhang: I didn't really like either songs but they grew on me. I like the opening better than the ending song. 4****

Rating: 4**** Although a really good drama, I don't know if I will watch it again since it started off really good and sorted of die near the end since it's a little slow paced in the middle and the ending was kind of rushed. Nevertheless, the best Taiwanese drama I have seen so far.
