304. Tree in the River 动物系恋人啊 (2018) Taiwanese

Mike He, Gillian Chung, Ray Chang, Sonia Sui, Ken Hung, Lin Yu Pin

Drama Rating: 5/10     Neck Score: A++

I know that this show was going for a more realistic feel with all the relationships, and it might have started out that way, but I was soon just rolling my eyes at all the couples lack of communication and how contrived their resolutions were. Also how flip floppy they were. It was a bit too much for me. So while I never hated the show, it was never compelling for me. I just watched it because it wasn't annoying enough to stop, but I never looked forward to it every week or anything.

2015: The Year of Sexy Necks

Every year I make a calendar for myself, so I get exactly what I want and that sense of accomplishment.  I usually have a different theme each year (such as smiles or flower boys), and this year I decided to use my list of the Top 10 Sexy Necks as the general theme of 2015's calendar.

There was so much I could have put in here, and so many ways to do this, but I finally decided to count down to the number 1 on this list, and use the two remaining months for the other honorable mentions and general hot guys that I like and wanted to use.

120. Go, Single Lady! 真愛遇到他 (2014) Taiwanese

Ady An, Mike He, Shin, Zhang Xianzi, Fu Xinbo

Drama Rating: 8/10     Neck Score: A-


I think the only thing wrong with this show is some dragginess.  Other than that, Mike He is amazing.  Seriously, Fangjiang Yu is one of the best male leads ever.  He's up there with Lee Gun in awesome leads.  I've never seen such an optimistic, hard working, nice, honest, and real chaebol type male lead.  This couple is one of my favorite ever.  I do like how they even set up the lamer plot points from the beginning, so it wasn't sudden birth secrets, we knew they were coming from the start, which made them more bearable.  Like most Tdramas, it did get draggy, both at the beginning and the end, and went dumb at the end, but not to the FILWM or even Autumn's Concerto extent.  It just got a little draggy and ridiculous separation and then it ended just as cute as ever.  I love love love how cute and funny this couple was.  Also, randomly Wei Chang turned out awesome too.  Shin doesn't have a yucky neck, but he does have a slightly weak chin, which is made to look worse because he's so tall he always has to look down, but even if he isn't that hot, his character made up for it a hundred score.  This show was just full of awesome people and was a lot of fun to watch.

88. Devil Beside You 惡魔在身邊 (2005) Taiwanese

Mike He, Rainie Yang, Kingone Wang

Drama Rating: 4/10     Neck Score: A

Another as addictive as crack type deal.  Seriously badly made (but this is 2005) but still so watchable.  Maybe it's because Mike He is super hot and has super sexy hair.  It's based off of a manga, and it the silliest plot ever.  The manga is originally in high school, but to make it less sketchy they put it in college, but you'll still think they are all in high school they way they all act.  She accidentally gives her confession note to the wrong boy, not the captain of the basketball team but to the resident bad boy.  He then uses it to make her his slave/errand girl, but it's clear that this is because he likes her.  Then they find out that they are soon to be step-siblings as their parents are about to get married.  This becomes a big problem when she starts liking him, but doesn't seem to deter him from pursuing her.  The show is badly made, but not badly acted really (well at least the main two actors, can't say the same for basketball captain dude).  It gets way silly, but the chemistry of the main two is no joke and "Make-out Mike" can really kiss.  Seriously, that dude's hair is too sexy in this show.  Makes his neck look soooo goooooood.  They made it seriously in the manga style in how it was done, from the acting styles to the hair, to the special effects.  Maybe that makes it seem cheesier, but the rest is so badly made that it might make it worse when it's just a style choice.  Anyways, it was one of those things where we were like "why do we like this show so much?"  But we had to keep watching.
