太王四神记 The Legend
I can’t believe I’m hooked on a Korean drama. Hahaha. The last time this happened was in 2001/2002, when 秋天的童话 played on Mediacorp Channel 8.
Not bad lar. The pace is faster than most Korean dramas, though still a little draggy at some parts, but bearable. Pretty cheesy in the beginning, with tinges of Lord of the Rings and X-Men’s Dark Phoenix Saga. It gets better towards the middle, and hopefully better at the end (cos I’ve yet to finish the series).
The stylist for the female lead on the right of the poster should be shot. She was pretty good-looking in the beginning of the story when she was somebody else, but somehow someone decided she should look ugly later on and hence this image. Yucks. The hair totally doesn’t complement the shape of her face.
Unlike the female lead on the left; gorgeous in the beginning (when she was somebody else too), while looking her tomboyish character later on without spoiling her good looks. Quite a good actress. Read that this is her debut appearance and she won some “Best Newcomer” award thingie. Amazing.
Ok, shall continue watching. Should finish before the week ends!
