Welcome

Hi, glad you came here. I really don't intend for this to become something big, it's just a little thing i've always wanted to do. I thought it would be a nice little place for me to write the thoughts about the dramas i watch so i not only forget em, but it makes it easier to tell other people waht i think about them. If there's a drama i haven't written about that you think I should, e-mail me about it and let me know, i'm always open to suggestions. Welcome and i hope you enjoy your visit here.

Devil Beside You


http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Devil_Beside_You

Yes, even the taiwanese can make good dramas. Devil Beside You is actually quite cutesy in terms of romance, but it is also different in a way. The romance storyline is quite cliche and sterotypical, it's a sibling romance, but they're not really siblings...at least not yet. There are several plot twists, like their parents coincidentally becoming engaged, the two initially not liking each other but then realizing they cannot live without the other, and will fight for their love regardless of who ends up hurt, it's a determination.
There are several plot twists, the parents getting married which makes their love forbidden, several people getting in the way, internal conflicts, it seems that they just keep coming.
Rainie Yang did a pretty good job, and sang the insert songs, which have become a staple to my iPod listening playlists. So musically, it's a-ok. Actor-wise it's covered as well. Rainie Yang does well, and Mikey He is a proven actor when it comes to dramas, and is an established hottie with a successful modelling career. The plot keeps you sticking, wondering waht will happen next, and it's 20 episodes so there's enough time for ample plot and character and relationship development.
I give this drama a 8/10, for it's enjoyable but slightly cliche plot and plot twists
