Black & White, ep. 19-24
Tue, Aug. 25th, 2009 03:54 pmWah, no more! It's not even that good, but I am still a bit homesick for Taiwan, and now I do not even have episodes left of this to watch.
( Spoilers have more plot twists than I can keep track of )
Overall, although this drama has great production values, I don't think I'd rec it unless you like labyrinthe plots that don't particularly make sense and chase scenes. The gender roles largely suck, the plot has a ton of holes, and I dislike half of the main character duo, but I still watched because hey, Taiwan!
My favorite parts are probably the slapstick between Ying Xiong and Chen Zai Tian and the gruff "I will not admit I actually like you so instead I glare at you for getting stuff wrong" thing that Ying Xiong does. I keep feeling this should be slashy like whoa, and yet, it's not for me, largely because I find Chen Zai Tian completely unattractive. This is particularly sad because Vic Zhou was actually hotter in Mars, even though his hair in Mars was about a zillion times worse. There's sadly less of the partnership in later episodes, but there's plenty of cracktastic plot twists to make up for that!
