Bao Lian Deng
Since April 17, Channel 8 had been broadcasting 宝莲灯 on weekdays at 7PM. Unfortunately, due to some misunderstandings (of the show) when my dad introduced it to me, I didn’t pay any attention to it till the last few episodes. And now I regret deeply.
First, most of the actresses in the show (yea, call me shallow) are very pretty, especially XiaoYu (your mileage may vary ;)). I was taken aback when I saw her name in the credits the first time I watched the show as I totally dig her in some other shows — and how could I have missed this show?
Second, can there be a better plot for the month of Mother’s Day? Seriously?
And third, I just love to see this somewhat full story since the Jimmy Lin’s version I watched a few years back was rather toned down and had several characters removed.
Besides, the last 6 episodes (that I’ve watched) were rather exciting albeit being a little (just a little) draggy, with the last two episodes having a great twist. Here’s a snippet of what was being said of a friend and I describing the twist:
<@juLified> i was thinking how come er lang shen got so evil de meh
<@juLified> haha
<@draco> lol
<@draco> its the biggest cover-up in chinese god history
Now I have to either buy it, or obtain it through other means (rubs chin gleefully). Wish me good luck.
