Black and White: 17 and 18
Oh God, I have a new ship: Xiao Ma/Chen Lin. I want it SO FREAKING MUCH. I think they could take over the world. (I think Xiao Ma is getting to be pretty close to my favorite character).
Except I love Chen Lin/Zai Tian. And Chen Lin/Ying Xiong. And either of the three guys with Forensics Girl - hell, I can't make up my mind, I think they all should get together in one giant orgy of pure awesome.
A-hem.
On a more coherent front:
* Poor Ying Xiong. When he is in the bar, after he's given up his principles!!! And doesn't even arrest a thief :(
* The scene where Chen Lin talks to him and is all "Zai Tian is a useless brother - I wish you were my brother instead." She means it in the nicest possible way but that is about the worst thing to hear if you are in love with her.
* Ying Xiong's ex? Should DIE! She is messing with his investigation, framing him, and trying to drive a wedge between him and Chen Lin (oddly, it's the latter I find the worst - the others related to her mission for the bad guys but messing with his potential relationship has nothing to do with that)
* These eps are YX-heavy, which is only fair as 15-16 were Zai Tian heavy.
* Xiao Ma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously. When he gets past Chairman's goons like that! Or when he comes to rescue Chen Lin! OMG that whole scene made me switch ships like MAD. When he gets her out of there even when he is injured and tells her he had that surgery and became a Sarkozy but then they were supposed to blow up a car and there was a girl next to it and the girl's face and her smile made him feel something - pity or love - and so he failed his mission and realized his operation didn't work, and so he couldn't continue being like the other mercenaries. And then he looks at Chen Lin and says "this girl is right here now" or something to that effect !!!!!!!! Seriously. *dead* And then he tells her he will cover her and she should run but instead she dispatches the goons with the machine gun and SQUEE. Seriously. So very freaking awesome!
* Ying Xiong's sex scene with evil ex. !!!!!! Seriously. My eyes bugged out of my head - I didn't know you were allowed to do that in a twdrama!
* I love the conversation between YX and ZT at the police car - when ZT tells YX to take careof his sister (Chen Lin) because ZT can't do anything to her now and YS is all "what were you going yo do to her?" LOLOL
* Zai Tian is really intuitive - he tells Ying Xiong he thinks his ex has a weird vibe for a cop. Too bad YX shrugs it off...
* AWWWWWWW. OMG. Chen Lin confesses to Xiao Ma that even though she shouldn't love Zai Tian (hello, he's her sib!) she still loves him. SQUEEEEE.
* YX is framed. Urgh! His face! (Though why was he in that building). My head hurts with all the crosses/double-crosses, honest :)
* And speaking off, the Police Girl is clearly one of the bad guys :(
Yes, clearly I am all about the plot in this drama. Lots of plot.
I also loved the whole scene with Chen Lin and Xiao Ma, especially the part where he is all set to sacrifice himself for her and then she guns down the bad guys thus saving them both instead...
The scene afterwards where he asks her if she can see him as more than a friend and she confesses she still likes Zai Tian!
And of course friend BFFs!
