Black & White Episode 1

With English Subs; Credit: ooxxTW

This is only Part 1, all the other parts can be found HERE

——

I have officially started watching this <3 The first episode was quite intense I must say. It starts off with a Vic Zhou bed scene HAHA what a great start ;) Vic’s kind of like a playboy but he’s also a really good detective but he gets kicked out of his HQ to another one because he slept with his boss’s daughter haha. Anyways his move means that he ends up being teamed up with Mark Chao who he met before as Vic was one of the people hiding while Mark was trying to chase and catch Kingone and that was when Mark began disliking Vic; first impressions mean everything. Also, these 2 are the total opposite of each other because Vic is the relaxed and carefree kind of cop while Mark works really hard to try and solve cases [and a lot of the time he works a bit too hard and ends up ruining the original plans]. So as expected these two don’t get along too well.

There’s more to the episode as a lot of things happened but I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone who hasn’t watched it. And I actually found the Chinese in it to be quite difficult compared to normal dramas so I think I might have to rewatch it with english subs to clear a couple of things ^___^” FAIL haha.

Thoughts?

I think my excitement before I started watching it kind of wrecked it for me because I was expecting wayyy too much but to be honest (please don’t kill me ^_^”) I thought it was only average. I think its because I watch TOO MUCH TVB which means I’ve seen countless numbers of police action dramas and so most storylines involving cops/robbers seem old to me. This is not the drama’s fault or any of the actors because Taiwanese idol dramas are seriously NEVER this intense so it doesn’t surprise me how epic people are finding this. I’m sure I’d feel the same way too if I didn’t watch so much TVB ^^
However, this will not stop me from watching it because maybe the storyline will get better and more unique? I’ve only watched the first episode afterall and first episodes are never that good even for my favourite dramas like Fated to Love You and Wish to See You Again.
As for the acting, I FREAKING LOVE KINGONE WANG ♥ He really stood out and just oh my gosh his facial expressions were so amazing! His eyes seriously freaked me out…that stare was like so creepy. AND OMG did I mention he speaks in KOREAN in the drama?! It sounds really fluent as well ♥ ♥ I also enjoyed Vic’s performance but I’m just not use to seeing him as a playboy, not after his cute shy role in WTSYA ♥ Nevertheless, he has also done a brilliant job so far in B&W. Mark Chao isn’t bad either, I’ve never seen him act before (actually I’ve never even heard of him before this *rolleyes*) but yes, not bad (: Haven’t seen much of the females yet, Janine Zhang appears a little (she’s a forensic investigator) and Ivy Chen also appears near the end but I haven’t watched them enough to opinionate yet.

A couple of caps to give you a glimpse of Kingone ;)

BLACK & WHITE

 

CLICK FOR TRAILER

I’ve just downloaded the first episode but I haven’t watched it yet since I’m technically meant to be “working” on a 3000 word essay D8 I am so excited about it because I’ve heard like SOOOOO many good comments on it and how it’s a breakthrough for taiwanese dramas and Kingone/Vic =D 

This seems to be quite an action packed drama with Vic as an incredibly hot cop while Kingone’s the sexy villain. From what I’ve read so far he seems to be playing a role that’s similar to The Joker from The Dark Knight which sounds so interesting! I love how Vic and Kingone are always in dramas together because I love them both :D

Did I mention Janine Zhang is in this as well? She’s not the best actress out there but I really liked her in The Hospital with Jerry so it’s going to be awesome to see her with Vic. This girl is like so PRETTY, I’m so jealous xD

I can’t wait until I can start watching it…just need to wait another 2 weeks and then uni finishes ^_^ I’ll just have to look at pictures for now….so many hot photo’s of Vic ^^

Teaser ;]

NOTE: They’re all Vic because I couldn’t find proper Kingone ones :(

*drools*

 

Wish to See You Again…extremely underated!

I hate how you never feel like blogging after you finish an awesome drama because you just spend all your time thinking about it but when you do come around to blogging about it you forget everything you were going to type. This is what’s happening to me right now and it’s driving me nuts! I’m also becoming slightly illiterate ever since I’ve been on holidays so my vocabulary has shrunk even more. Soon my english will be equivalent to a 10 year old if this continues. I think it’s a sign telling me to start reading more books >.< Lately the only books I’ve been reading are chinese ones which don’t really help me in any way *rolleyes* Wait do reading chinese subtitles during dramas count as reading? =P

I’ve just finished yet another idol drama. This time I watched Wish to See You Again which I thoroughly enjoyed! I guess WTSYA aired during a really bad time because it was competing with Bull Fighting AND They Kiss Again so the ratings would have flattened out a bit. These 3 dramas are all really interesting in their own ways so if I was living in Taiwan during that period I would have so much trouble choosing which drama to watch. Three of my all time favourite dramas airing at the same time, that would make life OH SO DIFFICULT!

For me, I think WTSYA started out a bit slow so viewers would probably switch dramas after watching the 1st episode. I remember thinking to myself “Oh no! Why did I waste my money on this drama? It’s kinda boring =.=” after watching the first episode but I decided to continue watching because I didn’t want to waste my money but it turned out to be worth it after all.

To be honest, I think there’s really not many complaints about this drama besides the slow start because everything else is perfect. The storyline is original, acting is spot on (Vic/Kingone <3), great scenic views of Taiwan and the OST is love <33 Of course as with any other drama there were things that annoyed me but that’s truely inevitable.  I loved how the plot is based on friendship but mixes in romance within it which creates originality because idol dramas are ALWAYS romance based. I loved Vic <33 His portrayal of XL was close to perfect. Some of his expressions crack me up and he really managed to express his emotions well. He was just so interesting to watch! I also found XL x Nancy really cute <3 BUT I got really annoyed with XL during the end of the drama because he was being really cruel to Nancy. You can’t blame her for being suspicious about LY, like why couldn’t he just tell her about LY and AH? Nancy doesn’t seem like the type of person that would go around telling everyone. And I was also frustrated with the fact that XL always kept everything to himself but that’s also a good thing because it proves that he’s actually flawed making his character more realistic.

I also LOVED Kingone’s portrayal of XM. He’s also improved A LOT. I usually find him kinda boring in dramas but I totally love XM. He’s such a good friend and boyfriend and I love how he makes everyone happy. XM is probably my favourite character in the drama, he’s just so lovable <3

I didn’t know either of the two lead females but I thought they did a pretty good job. I have to mention again how adorable XL and Nancy (Michelle Chen) were together…they made me awww so badly!! Some people didn’t like Michelle’s acting but she didn’t bother me at all. I thought she did very well for her first lead role. And the girl who acted as LY was perfect for that role…she was so beautiful and elegant! Loved her!!

I watched this drama over a month ago so I’m having trouble thinking of things to write but I definitely recommend ALL drama lovers to watch this. Even if you’re not a drama lover, please watch it because it really is worth watching. I promote WTSYA so badly because its so underated and unrecognised, it deserves better!! I should also add the fact that this drama has totally raised my expectations for idol dramas…which is not a good thing because what am I going to watch now???

Teafight!!!

Firstly, how hot does Vic look in the poster <333 Since I’ve only started liking Vic recently, I only just found out about his upcoming movie, Teafight. Trailer is here for those who are slow like me

So basically, the movie is revolved around this amazing tea called Black Gold Tea and an amazingly hot Vic. The tea is divided into Mother Black Gold Tea and Father Black Gold Tea. The rest is all weird so I won’t go into detail. Vic will be pairing up with Janine Zhang. For those that don’t know her, she’s the female lead in The Hospital, a drama with Jerry Yan.


Blue hair hehe. I’m not too fond of blue but because its on Vic it just has to look good.

This is going to be interesting because I loved Janine in The Hospital. This girl is so beautiful! I thought Jerry and her were quite cute together but I don’t really like Jerry and now she’s paired up with Vic who I absolutely love so this should turn out better. I don’t like how they’re paired up in a movie because movies are too short, they won’t have enough time to look cute on screen since they have to meet, get to know each other, fall in love and whatever in like 1.5-2 hours?

Silence

This is what I’m watching at the moment. Its not the only thing I’m watching but the one I like most. I am totally in love with Zai Zai <333 now. He gives me this really weird feeling. Everytime I see him in Silence my heart like flutters, no joke. He is so charming. Definitely my dream prince! I love his look in Silence. He’s always so mysterious and I love the whole suit outfit. Another thing I like is his HAIR. OMG it is so soft. You don’t have to touch it, you can just tell its really soft. Its also perfectly shaped and coloured. This hairstyle suits him so much. I think you could use the word FLAWLESS to describe him in Silence.

Although Vic is flawless, Silence does have its flaws. I won’t go into detail until I finish watching it but I just have to rant about this now. WHY DID THEY CAST ANDY HUI?!?! Anyone could have done a better job. I could have tolerated ANYONE but HIM. He is so annoying and (*&^(H#I*(#&()#UHN. I wish he would just disappear and let Shen Shen&WeiYi be together. Andy’s character reminds me of Lee Wei in Bull Fighting except Lee Wei is 9999999999x better. They should have gave Lee Wei that role.

I will try to write a proper review of this when I have finished…

<33 Vic Zhou
