uiscerosI watched part 1 of second episode of Superstar Express (mysoju is only showing about half of the episode... I'm youtubing the rest currently... but as far as I can tell it hasn't been subbed. So yeah. Mandarin. Thankfully I know enough Mandarin so I'm not totally confused all the time). Still love it. It's super super cute. Honestly, I forget just how awesome twdramas are... It's nice to get back to them. Twdramas = my ultimate love!
I capped a little bit. Granted, these are screencaps from a streaming site, which means, in general, they suck. But they're better than nothing, ne?
This is from the opening credits. I LOVE how Jiro is looking at Rainie.
I love how Chinese names have such particular meaning. 俊男 means handsome man, and 默默 means silent. You don't get those blatant name meanings so often in English.
Hehe, I keep stopping the video so I can look at the Chinese subtitles!
I like how when Chu Chu's coworkers are ragging on Jun Nan, she's like "well, at least he's hot!"
ANNND more fanservice! Damn, Jiro! Wow. Lots and lots of wow.
GUITAR! JIRO PLAYING GUITAR! Gaaahhh! Mmmm vibrato....
I love this shot. It's lovely. Very Romeo and Juliet.
Oh, so cute! Jiro and Rainie are pretty good together!
I think this drama is really telling of the Taiwanese entertainment industry. They do freeze idols who they feel aren't popular enough, or whatnot. It happened to Chen Qiao En. And then she got all depressed and alcoholic, and whatnot. Interesting.
God, Ah Ben is an ass.
Aw, Jiro! So cute! Talking to himself in the mirror!
Hah, he calls her Ah Zhai! (House)
I actually took this cap to have a closer look at the chinese characters, but it was too cute to NOT post. And then I iconed it...
WHAT?! Um... WHAT?! Just... WHAT!!!!! What?! (Am ridiculously baffled)
(On the other hand, the lady playing the director is quite a good actress. I love her evil femme fatale-ness)
Nooo Jiro! Don't do it! (But at the same time... half naked Jiro? Yes please!)
Yay Jiro! Stick up for your morals!
It's really easy to forget that Jiro is REALLY good at intense scenes like this (see ISWAK), since he's so happy go lucky most of the time.
I love how Jun Nan is all concerned that he slept with Mo Mo! It's like a reversal of roles!
Shameless Jiro fangirling!!
GEORGE! So cute!
*snort* Jiro's on the bus!
You wanna know the best part? That's TOTALLY an ad for his previous drama, Rolling Love. See! It's also kind sad how I instantly recognized it. Taiwanese entertainment obsessed? What? Me? NOOOOOO... yes
Aw! Jiro saved her from the stupid bitchy bullies!
They're really cute together!
Well... this drama is being super good with the fanservice. George Hu wet and half naked? NICE.
George is awesome. I particularly love him, because; A) He rocked in Love at First Fight, and b) He's totally American.
GEORGE! I love that scene, she runs to him, and he runs to her, and they crash together. It was sweet, and lovely. I wish I knew the backstory already, why George is so intense about her.
George's angry!face.
Haha! I love when dramas are like "this isn't some drama!"... commentaries on dramas IN dramas are awesome.
Ewww! So gross! (Also... engrish!)
I want that super cute alarm clock!
OMG leopard print bikinis?! Jun Nan!
UPDATE: I watched this part in Mandarin. (Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vierran45, I now know I was watching the DVD version, which is uncut, and why I was missing parts. The tv version is on viikii as well, but I already watched it in Mandarin, and I'm suddenly really tired. So whatever, I'll watch it later.) I did a little capping, and didn't understand much of what was going on, so excuse my ignorance about this part of the episode.
Due to Jun Nan's leaving his underwear/stuff all over the bathroom (as well as leaving the toilet seat up, a mortal sin in a house of women), Mo Mo makes a really (really) long list of rules.
Jiro in a maid costume!
Jiro! Maid!
While watching these scenes, I kept thinking; This looks really familiar. I think I've seen Jiro in a maid's costume before. I was wrong.
It was a nurse costume. With a really short skirt. And stockings. With a garter belt. (From Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu, btw)
Jun Nan gets excited, as the poetry competition will, apparently, bring in a lot of news media.
Jun Nan's fantasy, involving him wearing a horrible blue ensemble quoting poetry to a reporter.
I didn't really understand this scene, but whatever. Have a cap!
Ohhh, ethnic diversity! Yay Taiwan! Also; BEER! I was wondering when there'd be beer. So far we're up to 5/9 of the twdramas cliches. The cliche level is medium-low right now (4 is the least I've ever seen a drama have; Love Contract). I'm still waiting for the token shot of the 101.
Yes Jiro. Beer.
Jun Nan is amazed by Mo Mo's mad english skillz! (Actually, I was impressed with Rainie. I've heard her speak english once before, but it was short. BTW, that poem is here. It's super long. I wonder if he's have to recite it all...)
Jiro is voicing the underlining theme to all twdramas. Totally not kidding. I have not seen a twdrama where there wasn't excessive drinking. It's in EVERY SINGLE ONE.
Pretty shot! He also weirdly reminds me of Zai Zai here.
So yes, super cute. I am highly enjoying it. But really, wtf is with Rainie's hair? I can't tell if it's a wig, or if they just kinda tucked her hair under, and made it appear short with added extensions. Twdramas are BIG hair offenders when it comes to unnecessary extensions. I see them ALL THE TIME.

Date: 2009-07-12 04:19 am (UTC)I liked what you said about Jiro being surprisingly excellent at intense scenes - I've noticed that a lot in this series, and I'm so glad he's getting the opportunities now to be the male lead, after being shafted so frequently before. And George is delicious, have you seen Love at First Fight? I'm not sure if I should bother with it, 33 episodes!!!
I picked the Rolling Love ad on the bus, too! YAY FOR TWDRAMA OBSESSIONS!
One more ep!

Date: 2009-07-12 04:49 am (UTC)I never did finish it. I have issues watching live airing stuff, so I wanted to wait until the subbing was complete. I think it only recently finished, so I'm sure I'll pick it up again in due time. Can't keep me away from my Fahrenheit boy(s) for too long!
I know for me at least, I was REALLY surprised with how well he acted towards the end of ISWAK. You know at the end, when Xiang Qin has basically dumped him, and he's all depressed, and angsty? I thought he was amazing there. Yeah, Jiro's almost always the secondary (except in Rolling Love... I do believe he was the main there), so good for him! It's about time people started noticing how awesome he is! (It's so funny, when this show came out, everyone was like "wow, who's that? He's so cute!", and I was like "uhhh.... Jiro? JIRO WANG?! FAHRENHEIT!?!!?!11!" Since ISWAK was my first twdrama, I've known Jiro from the beginning. He was only my second Taiwanese guy crush (after Joe))
I adore George! I watched the first few episodes of Love at First Fight, and they were cute, but the main girl's voice kinda bothered the hell out of me. And George isn't part of the OTP in that one, which makes me sad because he's great in it. But yeah, 30 episodes. Oh cdramas, and their extreme length.
HEHEHEHE! YAY! I remember watching it, being like "... is that from rolling love?", and you know the concert parts of episode 1 are from a Fahrenheit concert...
Be sure to tell me your thoughts when you finish!

Date: 2010-11-22 09:30 pm (UTC)that aren't english and too if they are written with the english slag (because i know really bit the english slag). And since you know mandarin, i'd like know if the english subtitles of the billasub are written good or not and too the same thing for the english subtitle that stay on viikii. Please, can you see if have translated better the billasub or on viikii? Can you make me this favour? I ask you this because you know enough mandarin and i'd like translate into my language together, but i don't know what is the best version. Thanks.
