In your opinion..

When is a man considered most good looking?

I was watching the first episode of another Taiwanese drama called, 下一站, 幸福 (Thanks to Chin Pei Yee for introducing me to one Taiwanese drama after another; I got hooked; And now I'm searching one myself).
I felt that the answer to the line above (in episode 1) was so true!
I decided to take a sneak peek at the drama because it stars Vanness Wu (wanted to see if his acting has improved but sadly, not really).

Oh, back to the question. And the line was.. 认真的男人是最帅的*!
Not when he's dressed at his best or what car does he drive but the maturity in him and when he's serious at work.

* A man is considered most good looking when he's serious

Drama: Hi My Sweetheart

I have recently finished watching this Taiwanese drama (that was how my nights were spent in the past 2-3 weeks; and no TVB *sob*). When I first saw the drama, I thought the title could be better. Its title in Chinese is 海派甜心, showcasing Show Lo and Rainie Yang as the main cast.

Taken from wiki - Xue Hai was a certifiable dork when he first arrived in Shanghai. After his schoolmate Bao Zhu saved him from bullying, she became his first love. Then, a misunderstanding caused them to lose contact when she moved back to Taiwan. He thought she dumped him. So he transformed himself from a dork to a hunk in order to seek revenge.

This drama spans up to 14 episodes. I had almost given up watching during the first five episodes because of their lame acts. However, I continued watching as I had nothing better to do :p When it reaches the point where Xue Hai and Bao Zhu coupled, it got less bored. As stated in the excerpt taken from wiki above, there were trials and tribulations to their relationship before they finally got together (oops, spoiler).

It was sad that due to a misunderstanding, they drifted apart. She was raised in a rich family, He was a few times richer, but he identified himself as a poor boy. The reason was he wanted to find true friends, ones who will not approach him because of his wealth. The misunderstanding was caused by the the lady's Mom. Mom did not want her daughter to live her life with a poor dork and tried to separate them in many ways.

She did not have a chance to justify herself as she was involved in a terrible accident.
He did not know about the accident.
He thought it was a story of a rich girl fooling with a poor boy.
He left for his hometown.
They met in his hometown three years later.
She did not recognize him as he had totally transformed into a handsome-looking and most sought-after bachelor.
He began his revenge - to make her fall in love with him and then dump her.
I hated this part the most grrrrr.. just felt like hitting him in the face so much.

Why did he not have faith in her?
Given the same situation, would you leave? I think it is impossible to find someone who is persistent enough to not believe what he sees or hears unless it is from her own words.

The end. Got to go find the next 'candidate' from youtube again.

2012

It has been a while since we last visited the cinema. The lucky movie this time was.. 2012. I did not have any expectations at all prior to the movie. I wanted to enjoy the movie, that's all. And.. I did.

Well, the movie was not exceptionally good and was quite draggy at the beginning. The movie showcases a great deal of family ties, reminds us to appreciate our loved ones, while we still can.

Back to the story.. I actually find it quite scary. I would have never imagined end of the world would be as disastrous as this. I think.. this is somewhat scientifically possible but let's hope the galactic alignment does not happen in another few million years more :p

Enjoy the movie if you are planning to hit the cinema soon!
