Finally saw “Guardian”

guardian2
Honestly, during the time that I was on hiatus from dramas I kept hearing about this Cdrama all over the place. I always thought it would be a good one because the buzz around it seemed so high, people really seemed to love it. So when Robin recently mentioned that it was one of the dramas she had seen that had been shot at Shanghai Film Studios, I suddenly remembered that “oh yeah I should finally get around to watching that!”

How is it possible that this drama is so horribly bad???

Preposterous.
Not for the thinking drama watcher at all. It was such a shallow, amateur effort.

“Medical Examiner Dr. Qin” – up to Ep. 4

I don’t know why the brutality of this show is just hitting different. I keep saying to myself SURELY I’ve seen gorier and more depraved cases before, haven’t I? And yet nothing comes to mind.

Started “Medical Examiner Dr. Qin”

medexaminer

So far it seems to be your typical forensics cop show. Chipper, talented newbie (Jiao Jun Yan) starts her new job assisting an antisocial but gifted forensics expert (hottie Zhang Ruo Yun from “Joy of Life”) to solve cases with an equally hot police detective (Li Xian).

But there are a few things that have caught my eye, so far!

Started off pretty silly, with both characters semi-unlikable for different reasons, but man, after these two fell in love they sent my heart soaring!!

Finished ‘Life on Mars’

Gotta say I enjoyed it!

This drama is based off a UK series of the same name, which I watched 10 minutes of like 10 years ago, but couldn’t get into, mostly because the protagonist ends up in the 1970s, which is the decade I hate the most, hahaha. The protagonist of this one goes back to the 80s, so it’s better. Also, 1980s Korea much more interesting than 1970s Britain!
