186. Bromance 愛上哥們 (2015) Taiwanese

Baron Chen, Megan Lai, Bii, Li Shao Xiang, Yuan Chen, Mandy Tao

Drama Rating: 6/10     Neck Score: A+

This was not a great drama.  It wasn't even that good.  What it was was super sexy.  I mean there is super hot Baron Chen constantly making sexy eyes at Megan Lai, like from episode 1, when he is supposed to think that she was a man.  He was still pretty visibly hitting on her, which is weird, but since she wasn't a man it was like "instinctive"...?  I guess.  Well, as weird as it was it made it very, very addictive.  The chemistry between that couple was great.  Also, there was good interactions with the side characters for the most part.  Also, can I say something about Baron Chen's hair.  It's super amazing.  I like want to touch it.  Sadly, Bii's story line was pretty boring.  They didn't even kiss, which was lame because she tried to hint to him that he needed to, but he didn't still.  I wonder if it just got cut out or if they needed to keep them the "innocent" couple since the main couple was clearly gender bending and on the sexy passionate side.  That little baby doll girl was pretty annoying too.  She was just all over the place and pretty lamely written.  Oh well.  There was the lovely Bii soundtrack, which makes up for that, because Bii has an angel voice.  He even like live voiced it once and it was amazing then too.  I'm still pulling for Sean Lee (Li Shao Xiang) as a male lead.  Let's see, he went from 3rd couple dude in Love Family to 2nd couple chef dude in Love Myself or You, now he is 2nd male lead in this... can he be a male lead in 2016, please?  #SeanLeeForMaleLead2016!  He is in a show but it looks like he's the 2nd lead/2nd couple from the poster.  Anyway, ahem.  The plot was dumb.  They threw a bunch of gangster crap, cancer crap, awkward love triangle, pretty much everything, but none of it so intensely that the show was actually about it.  It was basically about them falling in love, which is good, but that meant that it was a little all over the place because everything got resolved so quickly, including the part where she lied to him about her gender... so it's not a good show, but it's addicting as candy, and about as fluffy as candy... so super enjoyable to watch.  Plus, Baron Chen's hair.  Woop.  Lizabreff was always commenting on his "bedroom eyes" which are magically sexy/sensual and adoring at the same time, which makes all of us swoon along with our lovely tomboy.  I love how she stays strong the whole time too, being super aggressive in the relationship too.  Anyway, it's enjoyable and that's about all I can give it, but hey, that's enough.

91. Fated to Love You 命中注定我愛你 (2008) Taiwanese

Ethan Ruan, Chen Qiao En, Baron Chen, Bianca Bai

Drama Rating: 6.5/10     Neck Score: A

This drama drew me in, as ridiculous as it was.  It kept on throwing ridiculousness in, so much for this couple to go through, some of it highly unlikely, but still so good.  I think the chemistry between the  leads was probably the thing that made it work so well.  A walked over "Sticky Note Girl" and a hot tempered (typically a pushover in love) CEO of a soap company have an "accidental" one night stand and end up having to get married.  That one night stand part was the most ridiculous part, and way too long, but get passed that (fast forward is my recommendation) and it gets way better.  Cun Xi (Ethan Ruan) is so adorable when he is doing what he wants (i.e. loving and protecting his wife) and so very annoying when he is chasing after Anna and yelling every two minutes when he thinks he's being pushed into anything.  It's one of those shows where I was like "why do I love this show so much?"  But I just did.  There is a catchy OST and some good hair (Dylan).  Ethan Ruan is a very attractive man too, so when he's being charming we all swooned.  I will be interested to see where the Korean remake takes this.
