Another Blunder

Tweet

Again I was caught off guard.

I did actually liked Sunny Happiness!

I guess I am biased because of Mike He, guilty as charged, who looks so damned HOT. And his smile would melt any woman’s heart (mine sure did more than it can handle). He doesn’t age, he looks the same as he did in Devil Beside You and that was 2005!

Sure the story was so-so, but eventually it grew in me. The characters except for the bitchy ex-wife, are all endearing in their own little ways. I even liked the sisters now.

Janine Chang is a good actress, not just a pretty face. She reminds me of Joe Chen (Qiao En).

Other actors to take note of are the younger bro, Li Yi Feng and his finance Li Jin Ming (both are Chinese), their evilness and bantering are so cute. I can’t help but love them instead.

Looking forward to more of Mike He, Janine Chang or other Taiwanese drama to watch!

Of course, the top on my list of the hottest Asian celebrity is Mike He!

Most of you may wonder and even raised an eyebrow but hey, he is my ultimate crush and this is my blog so let me have it my way. Please?

I first watched his drama Devil Beside You and from then on I have been a huge Mike He fan (he had me at hello or rather with his boyish charm). I researched and watched all his dramas, and waited patiently for his newest project Calling Big Star or Calling For Love, whatever the title may be.

Twdrama: Devil Beside You

Tweet

For the nth time, I watched Devil Beside You this weekend.

I plan to write a review on it...being one of my favorite taiwanese drama.

Not that I need to...since I know it's story by heart.

But I miss watching it.

And more importantly I miss Mike He (the male lead star)!



It was originally shown in 2005.

Was adopted from a manga titled Akuma de Sourou.

I've also read the manga btw.

I have dl the series and also has a DVD copy.

Nothing beats watching it in a wide screen in the comfort of your bed while munching this and that.

A complete bum.



Ok ok, let's go down to the business...



Here's my summary

Qi Yue (Rainie Yang) has decided to confess to her long-time crush Yuan Yi (Kingone) but in the process Qi Yue gave the letter to Jiang Meng (Mike He). Jiang Meng bullied Qi Yue and treatened to exposed the letter if she refuse to be his servant. Jiang Meng/ Ahmon/ Prince is the only son of the President of their school. So Qi Yue agreed to it at first but later on got the courage to refuse and directly confess again to Yuan Yi. The later also feels the same way but Qi Yue started liking Ahmon.

The thing is Qi Yue's mother and Ahmon's father are dating and already planning to get married. Even if Qi Yue and Ahmon have feelings for each other they did not tell their parents and just go with the flow. They started living in one house as siblings and their relationship got more and more complicated with alot of interventions. Of course they were able to overcome those problems and their parents accepted their relationship.

Ahmon is very expressive and has a devil may care attitude. While Qi Yue is very funny and naive - others may comment that her acting is OA but I think the story ask her to be one.



And my personal assessment

Title : Devil Beside You

Cast: Mike He as Jiang Meng/ Ahmon/ Prince, Raine Yang as Qi Yue, Kingone as Yuan Yi

Genre : Romance, Comedy

Total Ep : 20

Kilig Rating : 10/10
(I am biased and easy to be kilig, but hey this is my review so I can rate them whatever I want - right? There were alot of romantic/ intimate/ kilig moments in this drama. Alot of kissing and hugging! And they even do it near the end! gosh I get to see Mike He in boxer's shorts! He is so cute! Actually I'm kilig more with Mike He than in the story - sorry!)

Overall Rating: 8/10
(The story is entertaining, funny, a little complicated with so many side stories. The actors are effective in their respective roles. A feel-good drama for young and young-at-heart audience. A must see!)



Sidetrack

I fell in love with Mike He here esp with his smile. From then onwards I searched for all his dramas and watched it all. Haha...talk about being an obsessed fan.
