Mars - Taiwanese drama

I like this one, i think this is a good one love story from Barbie and Vic Zhou. After Meteor Garden with it's love and comedy plot this one is deeper, a little more mature. Vic Zhou and Barbie even had more daring scenes here. Though I don't think it beat Meteor Garden in terms of it's popularity and ratings. It's a sad love story, based on the Japanese manga "Mars" by Fuyumi Soryo.



Genre: Romance/Drama, Origin: Taiwan, Episodes:21, Year:2004

Main Cast:
Vic Zhou & Barbie Hsu

News on Lee Dong-Gun's brother

I really don't want to post this but I felt like the act is senseless. To hurt someone because the person is better looking. Lee Dong-gun's brother died in Sydney because of stabbed wounds from a Chinese guy. The news said the reason is unprovoked. This is too sad.

So this is my addiction?

Before I became jobless, blogger, wife, and heavier by 18 pounds now to be exact ( OMG! ) ... I am a certified Asian telenovela addict. I just found it amusing, irritating, funny, playful, and sometimes a little bit melodramatic or more of it. Depends on the plot but recently I'm more addicted to Drama-Comedy or Dramedy. Sometimes you can just wonder how many people are fascinated to this eventhough most of the storylines are the same and endings are mostly what you expect it to be. Ask me? that's why it's addictive cause you get fooled by it.
