Dao Ming Si for breakfast, lunch and dinner

I never imagined myself staying at home watching movies all day last weekend. I volunteered to help with Marlyn's bday though I don't think I was much of a help aside from just bring the food from our house to her house, I just baked her her favorite marble brownies. So in between I was watching Meteor Garden, yes I know it's been long over but after seeing it several times while I was searching for the chinese drama series Mars(Barbie Xu and Vic Zhou were here too) I decided to watch it and see what the craze was all about, well it got me hooked. I planned to watch only the first part, the middle and the last part.. I didn't think I'd get hooked with the movie after Shan Cai tried to have not only a relationship with Dao Ming Si but Huaze Lei as well. I was thinking tramp, tramp, tramp when Lei and her were kissing on the beach. I hate 2 timers so I watched the ending and I learned she would end up with Dao Ming Si, so I was like ok let me watch where they would be an item again.. and before I knew it I was 19 episodes into the series and it was almost midnight.. the series had 27 episodes and had 2 parts for every episode except the last one which had 3 parts in it.

For those who don't know the F4, who remember the F4 and who still love the F4 let me give you an idea who they are... In this picture they are Xi Men, Dao Ming Si, Mei zuo and Huaze Lei, well I think that's how their names are spelled. These guys are all yummy mwahaha...  Each and everyone has their own personality and I can say all of them will do for my bf if I didn't already have one mwahhaa... but I love dao ming si the best. He's like your average stupid guy, clueless, possesive, and cute.  Huaze Lei has a cute smile and a charming personality he has good schemes too but he loves someone else and is devoted to her until he dies. Xi Men is the positive driving force in this group. I like his smile too =). Mei Zuo is the loyal companion to everyone. He's the smiley, let's all always be friends, keeping it together kind of guy.  

I think I watched too much of this show for 1 day, I dreamt about them last saturday mwahhaa.. dao ming si! dao ming si! well this romance series is a feel good movie only if you watch it 'til the end. I can just imagine my anticipation everyday if I had to watch it like everyone else. Either I watch it religiously or I lost interest immediately. I can't watch romance series that you have to follow each week, I think I have A.D.D. when it comes to shows like these. I lose interest after a while and I just watch the ending mwahahaha... coz sometimes they are just way tooo long...


 I remember this line from the series where dao ming si declares that he will follow shan cai wherever she goes... sigh... it makes me  remember the movie what dreams may come...

what's nice with the korean and chinese movies/ series is that there may be kissing scenes but they're sweet and soft, sometimes having no kissing scenes at all makes it better to watch coz it hightens the anticipation that these 2 main characters should be together already... it also makes you watch more and follow the story more closely.

It's just disappointing that having watched all these korean and chinese shows I can see where the flips have no originality, not only do they copy the looks of the artists (deither you have no originality, tho I can say it looked good on him for awhile before he looked like he was anorexic), they copy the mannerisms and also some of the lines... I was talking to mari the other day and we were saying it's sloppy how we make movies coz if you're gonna copy the movie, just go copy it from start to finish coz it's tasteless that you copy some parts from the show which is supposed to be one of the "kilig" moments and you just slap it onto a movie where it looks like it came from nowhere and just landed there... most of the scenes don't even fit the movie or nothing in the previous episodes could lead to what they are showing on the scene right now... here's an example richard gere walking barefoot on the grass in pretty woman while he was thinking what he was gonna do with his life... aga doing the same thing in one of his movies where there were no scenes whatsoever that the couple even went to the park... grr originality pls.. and recently I was watching some of the young stars and there it slaps you in the face, the whole dialog was similar to the one I just saw the previous night... it's amazing nobody has tried to copy il mare back home yet... please! don't do it... have some pride... obviously the people who copied them here in the states didn't have any, pride or imagination, both I say mwahahaha.. ah let me end with this i'm gonna be lake house bashing again mwahhaa.. that movie is whack! watch il mare mwahaha...
