TV Drama Review #42- The Prince's Shadow 御用闲人

Episodes: 20
Yr of telecast/TV Stn: 2005/TVB
Main Cast:
Adam Cheng ~ Gao Sheng
Tavia Yeung ~ Ru Yi
Deng Cui Wen ~ Su San
Marco Ngai ~ Emperor Qian Long
Joyce Tang ~ Empress
Wu Jia Le ~ Zhou Ri Qing
Summary: Gao Sheng is a personal attendant working for Emperor Qian Long. He practically did everything for his majesty, but did not gain any official status or post. One day, Ru Yi was in Sheng's room when she hit Qian Long on his head. From that moment onwards, Qian Long fell for Ru Yi at first sight, and asked Gao Sheng to create chances for them to meet. Soon, Empress found out and ordered Ru Yi to return home. However, Ru Yi was sold to Yang Zhou by the chief eunuch. Qian Long ordered Gao Sheng & Zhou Ri Qing to go to Yang Zhou to bring Ru Yi back. The two guys could not save Ru Yi due to lack of finance and got into trouble as Ri Qing's cousin misused his emperor guard status. Su San, the owner of Wan Hua Lou bought Ru Yi over and Ru Yi decided to stay there as she did not want to return to capital. Qian Long and Empress soon came to Yang zhou respectively, and Gao Sheng found out about Qian Long's real background....
Comments: A nice drama from TVB. Adam Cheng never fails to bring laughters in his drama. The plot was decent and interesting 80% of the time. I dont really like to see what happened b/w Gao Sheng & Qian Long in the end though, kinda spoilt the mood leh. As usual, cant expect much character developments from TVB dramas, but i like all characters except Mr Qian Long. Tuan & I used to call him "Mickey Mouse" becoz' that's how Marco Ngai looked when he smiled. Hahaha! I definitely think he is not suitable for this role, coz he made Qian Long looked like a fool, always dependent on Gao Sheng to do things. Kinda tarnished other Qian Longs'images in other dramas la. Personally, Adam Cheng & Ms Deng had the chemistry together, but i dont see the same when he is with Tavia. Maybe Tavia is too young for him la. Hah! Joyce Tang looked elegant as the empress, really pretty lo.
Ratings: 7.5/10 (Qian Long is really a lousy emperor here. Plot went downhill towards ending, quite a pity. )

TV Drama Review #41 - Gokusen 2 极道女鲜师2

Episodes: 10 + 1 Special
Yr of telecast/TV Stn: 2005/NTV
Main Cast:
Nakama Yukie ~ Yamaguchi Kumiko
Akanishi Jin ~ Yabuki Hayato
Kamenashi Kazuya ~ Odagiri Ryu
Hayami Mokomichi ~ Tsuchiya Hikaru
Koike Teppei ~ Takeda Keita
Summary: It's a new drama without much links from Gokusen1. So dont worry if u havent watch G1 before. Yamaguchi Kumiko, the 4th generation heir of Oedo Family ( a yakuza family which literally mean Gangster) went to a prestigious all-boys high school to teach the most horretic class 3D. The class was full of punks and troublesome kids who had no aims in life and were seen as delinquents by their school. Kumiko has to ensure that they could successfully graduate from high sch in 3 mths time. Just as everyone gave up hope on them, see how Kumiko teaches them in her unique way and how she bonds with the class.
Comments: I havent catch the 1st instalment Gokusen yet, the cast was 90% different, except for the headmaster, Kumiko & her family, and Kuma. Basically, Yankumi (her nickname) wont exist in the reality world, sad to say. Teachers dont have so much time to handle so many problems. Her tectiques, her style...may be would only exist in mangas, but that's ok.
The plot was really fun, though it gets typical whenever Yankumi came to save her precious kids from being hit by other punks. Well, the storyline was quite standard, Yankumi would saved her students from trouble and also they would realised her secret(abt her background). It's quite fun to see how the kids accepted her as she proved to them that she's different from other teachers. Though it may be untrue to say this, the Japanese edu system is really problematic in some ways. Status can do anything, and the sch president and teachers were very afraid to get into trouble etc. It reflected something on their edu system...or maybe even other countries.
Yankumi is really a "zheng yi lao shi", holding up justice and values. This character was cute as well, like how she reacted when she saw Kujo sensei, whom she liked. Nakama was really perfect in acting Yankumi. Though she may looked old-fashioned with her sports attire and specs, she really has this unique personality. Her students were cute enough too. I bet many ppl are watching for Akanishi & Kame from pop grp Kat-tun. Hehehe! Their performance was great, though their characters dont need them to have excellent acting. I found Odagiri & Takeda abit niang though, esp Takeda, with those hairpins on his hairs..aiyo eh!
The whole cast was excellent, nothing to fault them. And i really enjoyed to see the headmaster as well. His expressions were exaggerating, but u wont be sick of him la.
The sound effects were quite funny though. This drama is one of the "noisiest" drama i've ever seen. Do look out when the headmaster and Yankumi talk or their movements, it's really cute la. Finally, the themesong by D-51 from Okinawa.."no more cry". Not bad lo~
Ratings: 8.5/10 (I would catch Gokusen 1 someday...nice & touching drama.)

TV Drama Review #40 - Anego

Episodes: 10 + 1 special
Yr of telecast/TV Stn: 2005/NTV
Main Cast:
Shinohara Ryoko ~ Noda Naoko
Akanishi Jin ~ Karasawa Akihiko
Tomosaka Rie ~ Sawaki Eriko
Kato Masaya ~ Sawaki Soichi
Summary: Naoko Noda, who works in a trading company, is called “anego” which means "big sister" and it was started by a new employee Kurosawa. Naoko, 32, works in the corporate strategy division. She is single, and has been working hard for 10 years. She finally met this guy who saved her in the train, but he happened to be her former ex-colleague Eriko's husband. Naoko seemed to be happy and successful on the outside, but deep inside she yearned to get married and was worried about her future. Kurosawa began to fall for Anego, but difficulties set in as they were 10 yrs old apart, and Kurosawa didnt want to get marry at 22.
This drama, through the main character, portrays the everyday life of working women realistically; what they are really thinking, the problems they face, and how they do their best to survive in this world.
Comments: A typical Japanese drama talking about OL lives, but I liked their way of presentation, coz' it is close to our daily lives. The plot is quite funny, especially the interactions b/w Kurosawa & Noda. There are some side lines beside them whenever they had some conversation, which actually showed what they were thinking inside their hearts. It's really cute. The plot also includes another side story about Eriko, her husband liked Noda and she became the 3rd party between the couple.
Shinohara has been very famous since this drama and her acting was really ichiban! Noda is not a perfect character, but who is not flawless right? Many people would start to pity Kurosawa coz' of Noda's actions towards him. But think again? if you're the woman who was 10 yrs older than the guy, wld u wait 5 yrs for him to become successful? Up to individual la..
Akanishi Jin from Kat-tun is also famous after "Gokusen 2". He did pretty well here, looked much more mature too. I guessed more gals who follow this drama for him, instead of our Anego la..hahaha! Tomosaka Rie is finally back with a good drama. I couldnt remember when was the last time i had watched her drama, perhaps in "Kindaichi Files". She's no longer the little gal i knew la, now she acted as a mum, a wife who's kinda mad at times...She has really matured alot and her acting was convincing too. The supporting cast was wonderful too! Bravo~
Check out the themesong "Kiss or Kiss" by Kitade Nana...super nice song!
Ratings: 9/10 (OL dramas rock! Btw, the ending is not epi 10 but the special when Kurosawa return from Mongolia...too bad Youtube dont have the full version..arrghhh..)
