[HKDrama] Burning Flame 3 (TVB 2009)
Hello! I just started this third installment of TVB's fireman-based series. The first series was the best and had characters that really drew me in as well as a good climax in the plot. The second series was not a standout for me. And now we're at the third so what do you think? My thoughts so far (...

I grew up watching HK dramas and so watched them exclusively for a long time. Probably just in the recent years I've picked up a few Taiwanese dramas from here to there starting with Meteor Garden. I agree with some of the previous posts that both have their merits and both have areas that need impr...

I didn't know the part about the writer thinking of Vic when he wrote the part, but I do agree he's doing a good job at picking different roles for himself (if indeed he does.. the system they have in Asia is a little reminiscent of old Hollywood it seems). Yeah people get type cast all the time in...

Except CP2 is a sequal of CP1, other games in the CP series are not that relevant to CP1. Therefore, JingTian is definitely not Li Xiao Yao, but later on in the game you'll discover that JingTian is the in fact the master of Li Xiao Yao's father. Yes, the setting of CP3 is 50 years before CP1 =) Hu...

I thought they did this one pretty well too. I feel like the production team put some thought in the music selection. I really like the soundtrack and it fits the show. I think Vic Zhou is doing choosing different characters to act to challenge himself. Actually, I saw on one of the interviews that ...

Yuan Hong
I couldn't find a thread dedicated to Yuan Hong so here it is! He starred as Ye Lu Xie in Shao Nian Yang Jia Jiang and most recently as Yang Kang in Legend of the Condor Heroes 2008. I think he's a great actor and very versatile.

I'd agree with TLab that j doramas allow for more realistic scenarios than the American Shows. There are more series that the average person like you or me can relate with in real life whereas in American shows, shows always focus on the extraordinary and not the ordinary. It's because in American c...

Honestly if it wasn't for NwP, I wouldn't even know who Yamapi is. But now that I know, I see his appeal. He's definitely physically attractive~ I like what he's done to his body in the past year, makes him look lots more manly. I also like his versatility in acting~ I saw him Kurosagi, Dragon Zakur...
