Was skimming through Koreans, Taiwanese, China's dramas. So bored with all the candy coated(bimbo) female leads, trying to appear haughty/macho male leads and Koreans 2019 weird storylines. I landed on Taiwanese drama for a while, discovered F4's Jerry Yan (yes, just started watching him, sorry) but after a while, found him too 'temperamental' to my liking and didn't like some of the ugly female leads in his dramas so dropped him. THEN, I chanced upon Chen Kun. And so I tried The Story of my Noble Family.
I like dramas that kept me glued from Ep 1. Perhaps my taste's not alike those reviewers' I've checked out (when looking for what next). So far, my all time favourites that could captivate me and not 'test my patience with a few episodes' are Wallace Chung's My Sunshine and now this. Don't ask me why, I just love the sentimentality of the whole production and the music adds to draw.
Here, I like Chen Kun's mischievious and witty character. Like his lines that reveal a smart guy who's seemingly lazing and spoilt.
The female lead has a face of character, unlike the current bimbos leads, which is a pity of dramas of late.
Will continue my review when I finish. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint though I have read the ending is sad. (sob...sob...)
For now, I'll let the melodic period-infused music continue to draw me into this sad love story, which Chen Kun's charismatic acting succeeded in feeding my thirst for a good drama.
Moving onto Ep 6.....
