Losing Interest in 鹿鼎记

Have missed the show too often: the screening times often clashes with Sam's bedtime. By the time he's asleep, I'm left with only the last 15 ~ 30 min of the episode.

Anyway, really not used to seeing 黄晓明 act as 韦小宝. I thought he looks lecherous most of the time...........ok, the character is very lecherous, but I still think it's a bit overdone.

Furthermore, don't find most of the wives pretty!!!! They're pretty average, only the 教主夫人 is good-looking to me. So even less encouragement to play catching up on the show.............

But one thing this drama version did pretty well: thought they detailed how mischevious & devious 韦小宝 is. Quite entertaining to see how all the 'smart' characters got cheated by him!

射雕英雄传 is Screening Now!!!

Didn't realise the China remake of 射雕英雄传 is screening already!!

Have been eagerly waiting for the show ever since I knew my fav Taiwanese actress, 林依晨 is starring in the show with popular China actor 胡歌. Unfortunately, 胡歌 got injured in a car accident and they had to stop filming for one whole year for him to recover, so 林依晨 came back to Taiwan to film 恶作剧2吻.

Now that the show's finally done, can't wait to get my hands on the DVD!

Yes, think will have to splash money on this show, cos I'm definitely not going to catch all 50 episodes on the show on YouTube!

楚留香传奇 is becoming a Drag!

Finding the show more & more drag-gy............hubby has given up on it & rather play his PSP.

Really, we both agree, the show's low ratings were definitely not simply due to 朱孝天's "肥帅" image. True, he does look a bit too plump for most people's image of the character, even though he does have the charm (well, enough to be convincing anyway).

But the real pitfall is the script. In the beginning I was chasing the show like crazy, cos to miss even 5 min means losing thread of the mystery & plot.

But 16 episodes down, I'm doing my household chores while waiting for the draggy lovey dovey talking scenes to be over, so that the plot can continue. The scriptwriter for these parts must be from one of those taiwanese 琼瑶 shows!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness for the impressive sets & backgrounds, & 2 rather lovely female leads. Otherwise, I don't think I can even sit through the show on 8TV..............
