I don't like what you like

This is a mostly dead fandom livejournal with interludes of life. I'm keeping it up as a private archive of stuff I used to love and still love. I used to be someone else and now I'm still someone else, but with better hair. Still shaky on the time management stuff though.

Lessong Learnt, Tears Shed and Dramas better forgotten ...

[catslove17]

(I just seem to be butting myself into your lj don't I?)

I, like many people, regret most in my life, wasting 30 hours of my life, watching ISWAK.

What is seemingly a nice love story about a girl who for once isn't REALLY Pretty or REALLY smart, failed. Miserably. On many different levels. ISWAK has now only succeded in making me hate joe cheng and Ariel, however it's now recognised as one of the most successful Tw Dramas ever. World! When will you learn?

If you love/hated spring waltz, you should try the other ones, Autumn, Winter and Summer. I like Autumn, scatch that LOVE autumn, thought winter was thoroughly: they're in love - no they're not - he's related to her - no he's not and so on. (does that make sense? In my head it does) Summer and Spring I get confused. Which is the one with a heart transplant?

Despite being very, very in love with Mike He, or to be specific, his kissing methods, DBY had Rainie (who I like, though you probably can't tell) as the cliche asian who was so naive and so nice and most importantly always believed that Ahmong was really a marshmallow on the inside(did you get that reference?. Not to mention cute to boot. This died quite quickly for me. Then when I heard they attempted a sex scene (and considering kissing scenes rarely work) this only added fuel to the fire, and sent it to the graveyard with bonus buy one get one free coffins.

And that was my rant. Sorry for butting into your conversation and LJ in general. Oh, and the grammar and spelling errors too.

In defense of ISWAK, I think the stars did a great job. It's not as easy as it looks for Ariel to act dumb (because contrary to popular belief, she's the exact opposite). Joe loves to joke in real life, so playing Zhi Shu was a little hard for him, too. Not a perfect plot, but it was based on the manga, so there wasn't much they could do about that. Please note that I am NOT, however, an Ariel/Joe fan. 0_0 For some time I had a severe allergy to anything Ariel and Joe-related, so I couldn't bring myself to watch They Kiss Again...ugh, I couldn't get anywhere near it. The bed scenes especially *rolls eyes*. But for me, that was mostly the fault of certain crazy-obsessive fans...enough said. So, it's not one of my favorite dramas, but I don't hate Ariel and Joe for it, because it really isn't their fault.

DBY...I agree that Rainie's cliche cutesiness and Ah Mong's bad-boy-ness (=P) got old. Bleh. I couldn't finish. Which is why I prefer Why Why Love.

Why Why Love?

Sure, I hate ISWAK with a passion, but I've watched the first season, up to ep 8 of the second (for the DANSON!! and Wang Zi) and seen all the anime episodes so far, so it keep on reeling me back. It's the only drama that does this.

Mike He always plays bad boys, less so in WWY but still. Now if he doesn't play one I don't think I'm getting my moneys worth. Rainie is yet to show us her great acting abilities, perhaps in her upcoming production Spider Lillies ...

it's better than DBY at least^^

(Great icon. ;-)

Anyway, I see what you mean about ISWAK...I just didn't want you to think that Ariel or Joe are like that in real life, or that they're limited to those types of roles.

Haha, yeah, Mike is the cliche bad boy. He maintains that stereotype in WWL, but Rainie's a little less cutesy and in general WWL is less...well, cheesy. (I haven't finished it yet, though, so I don't know how it ends.) Oh, and in Love Contract Mike wasn't a bad boy. =) If he played a bad boy *all* the time, it would get kind of old.

Yes, Rainie's skills haven't been tested much. Actually, I believe Spider Lilies is already out...I'll have to watch it one of these days~~

Spider Lillies is out, and it's a film, not a drama. ;)
