Well Netflix is offering all kinds of Asians series, so I started with Mr Sunshine and so far that is my all time favorite. Next recommendation Meteor Garden, so let's give it a try.

I wan't acquainted with the story and I really struggled getting through the first episode. The concept that an university is ruled by four students seems absurd to me, but alright it's just the first episode. Back to the lead Dong Shancai and I really couldn't decide what to think of her. I first thought she and her friends escaped from my little pony's land or something, because it was all like let's all be friends forever. LALALA XOXO. Are you people in your twenties and starting university or kindergarten?

Let's watch another episode maybe it's get better, but for me it didn't. I found the way Daong Ming Si treated Shancai repulsive. Dragging her around/ sorry walking with her, was for me a big no no. Pushing her against the wall and standing over her, I was like no. That is no way to treat women or people in general, but still all the women there idolize him.

After watching a couple of episodes you get more into the story and you get more acquainted with the characters, but the problem is mainly that there isn't much depth. Episode after episode it is Dong Shancai en Daong Ming Si fighting and the rest of the characters is trying to help them. There are fun parts, but they can't safe the show. I was so happy when Zhuang came into the series. Finally there is a woman, that acts and is dressed like an actual woman! I'm sorry but F4 is dressed like really stylish and you can say/see they are young men. Shancai and her friend are always dressed for kids.

So perhaps if I read the manga or knew the story I would have liked it, but I say never again. The lack of depth in the story, the way woman are treated or dressed and the strange plot lines. Ow I thought it was funny to send you out in the middle of a snowstorm, where you almost froze to death, but let's still work together on our next school project. Say what? Or random girl walks to Daong Ming Si, again I say girl not women and offers him a cake that she baked and he troughs it in her face! Where is Zhuang when you really want to see her? Perhaps next time invest in the writing and not in all the product placement. How about some songs in exchange for the three songs they have on repeat?

So I want to go with: Say something, I'm giving up on you, but I gave up.
