敲敲爱上你 taiwan drama Siannnz blogger have problem, don't allow me to upload picture the drama's picture. Anyways, I must say this is the MOST intense romance taiwan idol drama I've ever watched. I've seen the link to this drama in mysoju.com, but because the title sounds like another typical romance drama with a love triangle, I never thought of clicking on it. But hoho...I was proven wrong when I clicked on the link yesterday and read the series summary. :) For me, what determines my level of interest in watching a drama is firstly plot, then is the actor/actress. If the plot sucks, I might continue watching for 2 or 3 episodes for the sake of good-looking actors/actresses then I'd call it quits. But for this drama, with a very uncool title "knock knock I love you" due to literal translation, got me watching because of the characterisation. This drama has it very much and deeply. My heart went out to her as she experience deep rejection throughout her lifetime by her dysfunctional family....many times one glance of hers focused on the camera would make me tear. And sometimes it's just hard to believe a father can be so heartless to his own flesh and blood, even if he may be very egotistical, selfish and favours son to daughter. >:( But what I like about this drama is that the characterisation is total opposite of the Cinderella fairy tale that we normally see in idol dramas. Instead, the female lead grew up hard like steel on the outside, having a personality of a man! Which makes sense as people in that situation can swing to either extreme - either becoming coldhearted, or a pushover. But not many dramas would explore the "coldhearted" possibility because you will need to convince the audience with a logical storyline especially when it is a romance genre. I mean, what kind of man will want to marry another "man"? With that kind of manly personality, most men would choose to avoid her. Unless they really like their ego to be put at risk all the time. Hoho. That's why the storylines ALWAYS feature the damsel in distress version. The female lead in this drama though is cultivated to be uber shrewd. But yet she retains a good heart which is always hidden behind her thick mask, because of her father's loveless upbringing and the lack of motherly love. But to be honest, how can there be such a father in real life....I mean, treating own (flesh and blood) daughter like rubbish that he can't wait to get rid of?? That's close to impossible! This drama was so intense that fast forwarding was minimized...normally I would fast forward almost half the time hahaha. If you haven't realized (I'm sure you did), most idol dramas have similar storyline, always about romance. The only changes are the actress or actor. Hahaha. So drama addicts like me (this is what I observe) always like to fast forward to just get the storyline. :) All in all, I rate this drama 4/5 popcorns. The ending was a little open-ended, which was good. But felt that the wrapping up at the end could have been better. Despite all these, I must say 5/5 popcorns given to Ming Dao the male lead and the female lead (sorry I forgot her name) for their performance. Especially Ming Dao who performed very well as her admirer who struggles between giving her time accept his love and with the insecurity developed that caused him to be controlling towards her. In all these, I see a man who also needs to be loved properly. So both of them belong to the same world. :) But because this drama has exceeded my expectations with its intensity, I really need to loosen up my emotions. Haha. Time to devote myself into work proper! Labels: drama review 3:58 AM
