A Handful Of Love

I watched this purely for Jessica Hsuan but even Jessica couldn't save AHOL since the plot was weak and draggy.

To Catch the Uncatchable

I still don't get what's so special about TCTU since everybody seems to like it. Maybe it's not the same when watching it in Vietnamese? It wasn't all that funny and the murder cases were ridiculously easy to solve. The ending was pretty sad though.

Dayo Wong: 3***

Ada Choi: I found her character more annoying than lovable. 3***

Michael Tong: Such a pitiful and useless character. 3***

Marco Ngai: His character is filled with bad luck. 3***

Dayo+Ada: When did they started to like each other? It was out of nowhere that they became a couple and got married (or at least they tried to...). 2**

I watched HT because I had nothing else better to do but even my low expectations and Bobby Au Yeung couldn't save this drama.

Net Deception

I had such high anticipations for ND but it failed miserably due to a draggy plot and bad acting from Tiffany Lam.

Wong Hei: I liked him until he fell in love with Tiffany Lam's character. 4****

Eddie Kwan: 4****

Jack Wu: He was fantastic in here and I still think this is his best role and acting. 4****

Myolie Wu: Her hair was horrible in here. 3***

Find the Light

FTL was interesting in the first half but it became so boring to watch in the second half. I also forced myself to finish this since I was attracted to Ron Ng.

Ron Ng: He looked cute in here and his acting wasn't too bad for his first leading role. 3***

Shirley Yeung: I was extremely annoyed with Shirley's character in here. 1*

Bosco Wong: I hated his character since he was such a jerk to Tavia's character. 1*

Not Just A Pretty Face

I enjoyed watching the first few episodes due to Roger Kwok but as the drama progressed, NJAPF became so boring and pointless. I had to force myself to finish this since I didn't want to waste money.

Roger Kwok: Even Roger was not enough to save this drama from being a disaster. 4****

Joey Yung: I didn't know Joey was a famous singer until this; I thought she was just some new actress who wasn't all that attractive when I watched this. Her acting was okay; she's not too bad in comedies. 3***

Kevin Cheng: He's so hot in here but I didn't like his character. This is the first drama that I started to notice Kevin. 3***

Reincarnation

Reincarnation has an interesting idea for a plot but it failed miserably as a horror movie since it lacked scary moments. The acting from the cast is also pretty bad and the plot dragged like there's no tomorrow. It showed too many of the same scenes over and over again that it got repetitive and annoying. The twists and the ending were actually pretty good but I was able to predict them so it wasn't so "surprising" to watch them.

Yuka: She likes to widen her eyes a lot and was too stiff in some scenes. 2**

Lust, Caution

I watched this because it received good reviews from the critics and because I liked Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain". I'm pretty speechless about this movie and it's not in a good way... Honestly speaking, I wondered what Ang Lee was "smoking" when he decided to adapt this. The author was pretty "crazy" for writing this plot for her book too. The movie itself was extremely boring since the "fight for our country" plot has been done many times in pretty much any country that has ever produced movies. The ending was ridiculous and stupid and the graphic sex scenes were not really necessary, other than providing nudity, of course.

Tony Leung: I think Tony is a good actor so I thought his talents were wasted in here since his character was a traitor to his country, a cheating husband, and a sick man who likes to beat up women during sex. I also absolutely detest the writer for trying to show a "nicer" side to him near the end by making him "gentler" during intercourse and for purchasing a rare, pink diamond ring to "confess" his "true love" for Tang Wei. Oh, come on! A selfish man like him will never ever truly know what "true love" really is so I hated the pitiful crap. Although, I give props for Tony for acting out different kind of roles, he should have declined this role even if he won an award for it... 3***

Tang Wei: I think she has potential to be a good actress so it's sad to hear that she's pretty much banned in China. This is such double standards since it's okay for Tony to act in graphic sex scenes but Tang Wei can't?! I liked her character in the beginning but she became so stupid and naive in believing that she can help her country by sleeping with the traitor but I can forgive that since she was trying to be a "patriot". However, when she felt "love" towards Tony when he gave her a rare, pink diamond ring, it was the last straw for me. She betrayed her country and got herself and her friends executed because of a diamond ring so everything she has done is for nothing. What's even worse is that it shows that women are easily manipulated by such superficial things. 3***

Wang Lee Hom: He's not a bad actor but his role was a cowardly one since he pretty much let Tang Wei do all the dirty work and would try to "comfort" her by saying he will "protect" her when she wants to give up. LC pretty much had all the worst characters in the history of movies. 3***

Tony+Tang Wei: 1*

Tang Wei+Wang Lee Hom: 2**

Rating: 1* Don't even bother to watch it since the sex scenes weren't even that great. I also don't recommend this for people under 18 years of old since I'm 19 and I still found the sex scenes disturbing.

The Price of Greed

I watched this because of the plot because I didn’t really like any of the cast besides Bosco Wong. It had potential but failed so miserably because of Kate Tsui and a somewhat draggy plot.

Bosco Wong: I don’t like how he was so in love with Kate Tsui. 4****

Kate Tsui: She was so painful in here...especially when she’s crazy for Sammul Chan. 1*

Sammul Chan: I like how he’s trying on different roles but he wasn’t evil enough. 4****

Shirley Yeung: She was very convincing as a mute girl. 4****

Guts of Man

I watched this because of Ron Ng and this has got to be one of the worse dramas I have watched. I don't even know why I even watched this is the first place. The plot was kind of interesting in the beginning but was so badly developed. If it wasn't because of Yuen Wah, I would have given this up a long time ago.

Ron Ng: He was so stiff in here but I give him props for portraying an "ugly" person in the beginning. 2**

Sammul Chan: He was better than Ron but I didn't like his character. 3***

Mandy Cho: She was painful to watch and it didn't help that her character was annoying. 1*

Au Revoir Shanghai

It has been awhile since I've seen this drama so I don't remember the plot and the characters well but it's okay since this drama was really bad. I don't even know why I watched this in the first place. I think it was mostly because of Bosco Wong and the plot sounded somewhat interesting.

Michael Miu: He's always a good actor so no surprises here. 5*****

Anne Heung: I think Anne is a decent actress so it's kind of sad that she now has been de-promoted as a cameo role most of the time. However, this is one of the last few roles she has that is leading and I thought she did pretty well. 4****

Bosco Wong: He was okay in here, not his best role or acting but he was decent. 4****

Shirley Yeung: Her hair was such a pain to watch onscreen and her character was annoying too. She has done better dramas. 3***

Michael+Anne: If I remembered correctly, they didn't end up together but was an okay couple throughout the drama. 3***

Bosco+Shirley: I don't really like them as a couple. 2**

Themesong by Bosco Wong: I like it; it has a nice melody to it but Bosco has sung better in other songs. 4****

Rating: 1* Stay far away since it's not worth your time.

Meteor Garden II

I have heard so many people say how bad this sequel is but my curiosity got the better of me and I had to watch this to get a better closure. This is probably the worst mistake I have ever done and I don't even know how I was able to watch all of the episodes. The only parts worth watching are probably the beginning and the ending because the middle was full of nonsense and draggy love square scenes. I think the ending to this was even worst than the first one so do yourself a favor and just skip this drama entirely.

Barbie Hsu: I thought she did a lot better in her emotional scenes since she pretty much had to cry in every single episode. I felt so sad for her character that I just wanted her to end up with Vic so she would stop getting hurt over and over again. 5*****

Jerry Yan: He also did a better job since he successfully portrayed a nice, poor, memory-less man. I was so frustrated with his character though. 5*****

Vic Zhou: He consistently gave another good portrayal of Hanazawa Rui that I wished he would just end up with somebody! 5*****

Ken Zhu: He had a bigger role in here but it was still sad that he ended up with no one. 3***

Vanness Wu: His role also got bigger and it was nice to see him end up with somebody. 3***

Michelle Saram: Her acting was such a pain to watch, especially when she laughs! She's not really pretty so I don't get why she always portrays a beautiful woman in every drama she's in. 1*

Barbie+Jerry: Their scenes together in the beginning were extremely cute so I wished they would have had more scenes together throughout the drama since it was sad to see them apart. 4****

Barbie+Vic: It was so hard to choose who should have ended up with Barbie... 4****

Jerry+Michelle: A horrible couple... 1*

Vanness+Pace Wu: They were okay; their relationship was kind of weird though. 3***

OST: The songs by F4 were good. 5*****

Rating: 1* A big disappointment from the first one. If you want to keep "Meteor Garden" as a good drama in your mind, don't watch the sequel!

Witch Yoo Hee


A.K.A. Witch Amusement. The synopsis and the cast looked really good so I decided to give this a try. Seeing Kim Jeong Hoon's name in the cast list was more than enough reason for me to give this a chance; I actually saw this before "Goong" so I primarily watched this because I thought Kim Jeong Hoon looked cute and Jae Hee and Dennis Oh weren't too bad looking either. I love this drama in the first eight episodes or so; however, this drama became a disaster and a huge disappointment after that. I had to force myself to finish this; I rarely fast forward when I watch dramas but I couldn't watch this anymore. I absolutely hated the main characters and couldn't care less if they ended up together or died... The plot was creative (in the beginning only!) but was developed so poorly that it became a stereotypical awful Korean drama.

Han Ga In: I actually liked her character in the beginning but I hated her so much near the end. She was so selfish and mean that I don't understand how three hot guys can fall in love with her. Acting wise, she was mediocre since she had one facial expression throughout the whole drama. She's kind of pretty but not all that beautiful. 3***

Jae Hee: He's really cute but he's too skinny! Like Han Ga In, I only liked him in the beginning. I was extremely angry that he chose Han Ga In over Jun Hye Bin. His character was bad but his acting was not. He shouldn't wear scarves though since they made him look so small and girly. Hopefully, I'll like him better in "Delightful Girl Choon Hyang". 4****

Kim Jeong Hoon: It's sad that he's always casted as the third wheel and evil but he was a lot cuter in "Goong" that I couldn't hate him in there. His acting was also better in "Goong" since he looked so uncomfortable in here. He looked really good though. 3***

Dennis Oh: I like his character; he actually somewhat saved this drama (along with Jun Hye Bin). A very lovable and cute role. I thought his acting wasn't too bad but a lot of people didn't like it. 4****

Jun Hye Bin: I also like her character; she was really pitiful. If I was Jae Hee, I would have chosen her over Han Ga In. She's also really cute! 4****

Han Ga In+Jae Hee: They were somewhat cute in the beginning but I hated this couple so much at the end. 1*

Han Ga In+Kim Jeong Hoon: Another bad couple, no chemistry whatsoever. 1*

Jae Hee+Jun Hye Bin: They were the better couple but Jae Hee was such a jerk. 3***

Han Ga In+Dennis Oh: They are better as friends since Han Ga In didn't even like him. 2**

Dennis Oh+Jun Hye Bin: I actually wanted them to end up together but sadly, they didn't. They had a nice friendship. 3***

OST: I pretty much like all of the songs (the only good thing about this drama!). 5*****

Rating: 1* I regretted watching this so stay extremely far away...even if the plot sounds interesting!
