[Movie Review] Must Watch Movies in October 2014: Black and White : The Dawn of Justice 《痞子英雄：黎明再起》

Recently won a pair of gala premiere movie tickets, Thanks to Taiwan Beer SG and Clover Films.

BLACK AND WHITE : THE DAWN OF JUSTICE 
《痞子英雄：黎明再起》

Directed by: TSAI Yueh-hsun 蔡岳勋
Starring : Mark CHAO 趙又廷 , LIN Gengxin 林更新, HUANG Bo 黃渤

Genre  Action/Police/Comedy

Brought along Melvin to catch this action-packed movie.

It was held at Vivocity, Golden Village Cinema and was super glad to see friends watching the same movie too!

We were treated some 'eye-candy' as the Director and the Main actor came in to the cinema to share a little of this movie.

If you did not know, BLACK AND WHITE: THE DAWN OF JUSTICE was actually a second prequel of the 2009 Taiwan TV series which stars Mark Chao and Vic Chou.
This time, only Mark returns to the big screen and with his new annoying yet funny partner, starred by Lin Geng-Xin, to battle with time and the Mastermind from destroying the Harbor City and save the innocents.



Mark CHAO 趙又廷
In this movie, he's more of the action-packed kinda police officer compared to his 'self-proclaimed' partner, Lin Geng-Xin. Acting as Wu Ying Xiong, he fights hard to find out the mastermind in order to bring peace to the citizens of Harbor City.



LIN Gengxin 林更新
The annoying 'self-proclaimed partner' to Wu ying xiong. But he's super cute in this movie.
If you are wondering why he look so familiar, Lin is known for his role in Scarlet Heart, 步步惊心, the14th son of the Kangxi Emperor. 

In this movie, he's smart and many a times, you'll find him rather adorable. The way he interacts with Mark Chao will definitely makes you laugh.

HUANG Bo 黃渤
He's super funny when he's interacting with Mark Chao in the movie.
Melvin was telling me that he was one of THE Best Actor in China!
After watching this movie and some movies he acted previously, I understand why. 

TSAI Yueh-hsun 蔡岳勋
The director also starred in this movie too. Keep your eyes glued to the screen and see if you can figure out which actor is him. He's really good I must say. 
Really worked for this movie.


[Zerika-says: Rate: 4/5]
I'm really surprised I actually DID enjoy this movie ALOT!
It's a combination of Action, many Laughter and some parts you will just get sentimental.
I'm not really an action-packed movie kinda person but it was like as if you're literally IN the movie with them.
 You'll laugh at silly remarks exchanged between the actors and curious for the next move.

Go watch it!
It's good! :)

[Lifestyle] Lists of Hong Kong Dramas Must Watch 2014 !

 

Hello!

How is everyone lately?

 

Some of you might be wondering what exactly I've been up to lately.

Well, I've been pretty busy with work and for those who know me well, erm.. busy dating? hehe!

 

For those of you who are into HK dramas, I'm gonna share a list of what I think are the Must-Watch dramas in 2014!

So here it goes..

 

     

   

Line Walker – 使徒行者

[31集 EPISODES]

Starring:

Michael Miu 苗僑偉
Charmaine Sheh 佘詩曼
Raymond Lam 林峯
Sharon Chan 陳敏之
Sammy Sum 沈震軒
Elena Kong 江美儀
Benz Hui 許紹雄
Oscar Leung 梁烈唯

 

A Hong Kong Crime Thriller Drama that will make you think while watching along.

It's pretty interesting plot where it can be light hearted and intense all together.

Light hearted when you see Charmaine Sheh being shy and slowly fell for her colleague, Raymond Lam. In this drama, she's really cute and you get to see how she coax her way to get more money. She's one of the under-cover in this drama and get paid when she does her job assigned by her 'boss', Michael Miu. There's five under-covers in total and it makes everyone guess who is the fifth one. Challenging and makes people think.

It also has become one of the topic that me and my boyfriend, Melvin will discuss even on our dates! haha!

 

Currently showing till Episode 17. There's a long way to go.. so go watch this!

It's super duper nice!

 

 

 

 

 

Next one I'm gonna share with you is...

 

All That Bitter Is Sweet – 大藥坊

[30集 EPISODES]

Starring: 

Linda Chung 鍾嘉欣
Ruco Chan 陳展鵬
Raymond Wong 黃浩然
Natalie Tong 唐詩詠
Pierre Ngo 敖嘉年
Sammy Sum 沈震軒
Shirley Yeung 楊思琦
Jazz Lam 林子善
Elliot Ngok 岳華 

 Family and love story plot. Get to see how the rich baddies in the olden days actually get their wealth using underhand methods.

Much newer than Line Walker, this drama is currently on-going till Episode 7. Some actors acted pretty well in this drama, especially the old master and founder of the Shang Chun Tong.

It's still early to comment whether is worth your time watching but who doesn't like Linda Chung and Raymond Wong eh?

These are the current two that I'm watching so far..

How about you guys?

[ Korean + Hong Kong Drama ] You who came from the stars and Glided Chopsticks

Hey all,

First of all, K-Drama (Korean Drama)

별에서 온 그대 / Byeoleseo On Geudae

Also known as: You Came From the Stars / My Lover From The Stars / You From Another Star / My Love From Another Star

Genre: Romance, comedy, fantasy, melodrama

Episodes: 21

Broadcast network: SBS

Broadcast period: 2013-Dec-18 to 2014-Feb-20

Main Cast

Jun Ji Hyun as Chun Song Yi (28, top actress/university student)

Kim Hyun Soo as young Chun Song Yi / Seo Yi Hwa

Kim Soo Hyun as Do Min Joon (alien/university professor)

Park Hae Jin as Lee Hwi Kyung (28, youngest son of S&C Group)

Jo Seung Hyun (조승현) as young Lee Hwi Kyung

Yoo In Na as Yoo Se Mi (28, supporting actress)

Do Min Joon is an alien who came to earth in 1609 and lands in the Joseon era, then lives through the next four hundred years to the present day where he works as university professor and falls in love with a haughty top hallyu actress, Chun Song Yi.

I really love how the drama started where the young Chun Song Yi was rescued and protected by Alien Do Min Joon!

Jun Ji Hyun, I can say, is a very good actress! 

Very real, Very her.

While he was trying to protect her from harm, he fell deeply in love with her but he's very worried that he will have to leave this earth for good pretty soon. 

He's very sensitive to human saliva because it will temporarily reduce his power of able to hear from far, place/time travels and many more..

But he couldn't resist kissing Chun Song Yi.

Well, tell me who can! If I'm a boy, I surely want her by my side!

We are looking forward to the end and hoping it's a happy ending!

It's still airing so...Go watch it!

It's super romantic, funny and cute!

Next up, 

Another drama from Hong Kong..

食為奴  / Sic Wai Nu

English title: Glided Chopstick

Genre: Costume comedy

Episodes: 25

Producer: Wong Wai Sing (The Academy Trilogy, Queens of Diamonds & Hearts, Inbound Troubles) 

Production Company: TVB

Broadcast Date: February 10, 2014 - March 14, 2014

KO TIN BO (Wong Cho Lam / 王祖蓝) had been an experienced eater since youth, he knows everything about food and the taste as soon as it goes into his mouth. Unfortunately due to a family crisis, he and his loyal follower LEE WAI (Jack Wu) were forced to wander the streets and made a living off selling buns. 

Because of food, TIN BO met a female street entertainer GEI MO SUET (Joey Meng), the Capital's most beautiful woman LIN YEUK BIK (Nancy Wu) and female chef MAI SIU YUE (Stephanie Ho). 

 

I really love Wong Cho Lam. He's so good at singing and his acting is like Da-Best (in my opinion). Maybe I like him because of his jovial and funny character! Very lively! 

It is also because of fate that he encountered the Fourth Royal Prince YAN CHAN (Ben Wong) who discovered his talent and recommended him to the palace to work as a palace chef. In the palace, TIN BO meets his old enemy CHOI HOK TING (Bob Lam) and set off a series of battles in the kitchen. 

TIN BO also didn't know he was getting himself involved in the Eighth Royal Prince YAN YIK's (Louis Cheung) evil plot.

This Drama is still airing too and it's only till episode 6 for now.

This two is still my priority dramas ,will share more the next time yo..
