Updating my list of Twdrama themes/etc.

1. Drinking/getting drunk (almost always the female lead)
2. Motorcycles
3. The setting is Taipei
4. Bad boy/good girl
5. Rich boy/poor girl
6. Set in College (a lot of dramas are based on Japanese mangas, which are usually set in high school. The Taiwanese always set them in college instead)
7. Girls passing out all the time
8. Token shot of the 101
9. The same scene being filmed from about 5 different angles...


I really kinda hate J-star! I mean, what's with the no dating within agency thing?! Maybe Qiao En and Ming Dao really are just friends, and don't want to be together, but it sucks that they can't have a chance to decide that! Yeah.... I'm a total MingEn shipper. It's kinda sad...

OMG How much did I love Ying Ye 3+1!! I just finished it, and it was so adorable! Ah Jiang was an asshole towards the end (a well intentioned on, but an asshole none-the-less), but then it all turned out happy! Yay!! I want Ming Dao and Qiao En to do more dramas together! (Kinda random, but Qiao En did another drama with Sam Wang (besides MVP Valentine)!! Awesomely, it's already been subbed by a subbing group who's main focus is subbing only things with Sam in them! Hmmmm I totally might have to watch that next! I adore Qiao En, and loved Sam in PTtF)

I totally need to make myself a Qiao En icon!

I still love Xiao Kai, but MAN, he's really quite the asshole. He's trying to make Ah Jiang think that Xia Tian needs diamonds, and money, and that he can't provide her with a good future.

Doesn't he know that all the stuff doesn't matter to girls?! It especially doesn't matter to Xia Tian (who keeps saying that a long as she's with Ah Jiang, she doesn't care about anything else)!

I love how MSN messenger is the messenger du jour in Taiwan!

I'm soooo dying to skip to the end of the show. I get like this towards the end. I'm on ep 13/16 right now, and I just want to see how it ends!!

I found out that it doesn't take place in high school... though the students still wear uniforms (sometimes...), and they have a principal... maybe it's a junior college, or one of the high school/college combinations they have.

Also, Xiao Kai is totally an lying bastard (but in a good way... one that makes the story more interesting. And really, he's a nice guy, he's just being an asshole)...

Ying Ye 3 Jia 1 is KILLING ME. It's soooooooo freaking adorable, and I love it so much! It's like, the perfect drama for me (at this time at least).

spoiler-y for Ying Ye 3+1 )

Oh, and Zhi Wei totally dresses hilariously in the drama (not hilarious as in bad, or tacky, but... just... weird. Kinda like Ethan dressed (sometimes) in Fated to Love You... like, weird men's high fashion). In the last episode I watched he wore a shiny, deep v-necked black and silver shirt...

I'm going to work on my first episode summaries (and reviews) sometime this weekend. My reviews will probably suck, because I like EVERYTHING. But I'll try!

BUT! Happy news!! Fated to Love You episode 22 is finally up!! It was the only one I was missing, so I'm super happy! As much as the whole thing irritated me, I understand why Random fansubs didn't release the last few episodes on torrents. I'd be annoyed if streaming sites were taking credit for my work too!

I've recently been thinking about applying to help sub some things. I couldn't translate, but I could edit, or QC (hell, QC is what I do for a profession, I should be good at it!). I'm just worried about the time commitment... I'm so busy as it is. BUT it would be fun, and I'd be working to help the subbers, which is an awesome thing.

EDIT: I totally read spoilers. Damn me and my spoiler addiction. It's not healthy. I only read spoilers for the last episode, and they didn't even really make sense, so whatever.

I'm not going to post note, because, really, that takes away from my drama time, BUT...

Am on episode 8 of Ying Ye 3+1, and holy crap! Viter is FINALLY going to make an appearance (or so says the new opening montage). And he's going to add ANOTHER dimension to the love triangle. It's a love... square? Either way, yay! It'll be less difficult for me too, since I already know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Ah Jiang and Xia Tian belong together.

But...spoilers )

I freaked out and read a TINY bit of spoilerage... the show was worrying me. But yay! Zhi Wei is here!! He's soooooooooo cute! But he's shorter than me!! Only by 3cm though, so it's not crazy or anything. I'm glad I'm tall, but man... sometimes it has it's disadvantages. At least I'm not 6 feet or something...
uisceros: (Vanness)
Seriously, look at how freaking tall Zhi Wei is!!



He's like 20 cm taller than Tsung Sheng!!

Also, they have "foreigners" there (one is Caucasian, the other too are asian... maybe they're supposed to be Japanese, Korean, or Vietnamese, or something...)! They are speaking broken english! The white dude is totally Russian or German... or something (the accent sometimes sounds Russian, sometimes sounds German... so whatever).

HAHAHA!!! Broken english! So cute!

Ying Ye 3 Jia 1, episode 2 )

Ying Ye 3 Jia 1, episode 3 )

I'm still REALLY digging Ying Ye 3+1 (did I just date myself? Does anyone say they dig stuff anymore? It was big in the 90's, I swear!). It's so utterly adorable. Xia Tian and Ah Jiang's relationship is so cute! It's very like Tian Yu and Jun Hao's relationship in PTtF... except without a lot of the saddness and angst. And Jun Hao was more of a dick than Ah Jiang is.

And Ying Ye 3 Jia 1 is set in high school, which is kinda bizarre. Twdramas are NEVER set in high school (from my experience)! ISWAK was, kinda... well it was for a short time. Then they went to college... And Goku Dou High School is obviously set in high school... but that's not a romance. Speaking of, I totally want to watch that drama! It's sci-fi!! Plus, Chuan Yi is in it, and we all know how much I love him.

I'm all excited about dramas again (after being in drama stasis for awhile)!! The credit goes to three things;
1. [livejournal.com profile] ambergold let me know last night that Wish to See You Again ep 12 has been subbed!!!! I'm DYING. I couldn't watch it last night (I had to go to sleep, it was 2am!), but I will tonight! It's all very exciting! (Thus the multitude of exclaimation marks!)
2. Cat Street is way better than I imagined it would be. I love Taiwanese dramas, but in some ways, jdramas ARE better. Plus, it's a REALLY good story.
3. Ying Ye 3+1 is so freaking awesome. I've only watched the first episode, but man, do I love it. It's not necessarily the BEST drama ever, but it's definitely one of my favorites. I really like Qiao En and Ming Dao. And their chemistry is just off the charts amazing. I like how they're really good friends in real life too!

So, overall, everything is very exciting right now! (At least drama wise!)

Drama/Anime/Manga List update 29Sep08 )

Added one more jdrama, updated the status of some, and added the manga category.

Ah! My chopsticks just tried to escape their stoneware prison!

And my cat totally just looked like a weasel to me! Something in the way he's sitting.
