For me, 'Skip Beat!' was an enjoyable break from watching dramas centred on complicated love triangles (not that there isn't one in SB, only it's so minimal that I'm not sure I'd even call it one...). I loved how the plotline instead focused on Gong Xi's journey to becoming a star, the discoveries she makes along the way, and her revenge on Bu Po Shang (what a jerk!). However, although it's this idea of revenge that sets Gong Xi off on a mission, I would have liked there to have been more screen-time dedicated to her and Bu Po Shang going head-to-head because the scenes where they do are some of the best! I wish I could have had more of those than those of Siwon... Overall, the plot content was really good but the pace slows a bit towards the end. And if you go into watching SB believing it's just about revenge, then you're wrong. And Siwon. I almost considered knocking a star off because of him. His character may hold a mask over his feelings and his heart but when I look into his eyes, they are unreadable! Not because they're conflicted but because there really is NOTHING there! He really only had about two or three expressions in this drama, which was somewhat of a joke between my sisters and I as we watched it. Even his responses in certain interactions with Gong Xi felt wrong. Oh the irony (and pain) that Siwon acts as the actor who is the top actor in showbiz. Mind you, my sister and I looked up clips from 'The King of Dramas' and almost fell off our chairs to discover that Siwon had lo and behold...EXPRESSIONS. Meanwhile, Gong Xi was amazing and so adorable! At least in the first half of the drama, I could always expect her character to surprise me in ways that left one feeling very satisfied and even more involved in rooting for her. I think it's the first time I've ever had real FAITH in a character. I heard that people had previously found Ivy Chen's acting annoying but I think she did a great job! And MR DU. OHMYGOSH I LOVE HIM. Awesome acting right there! I'd have promoted him to a main role. And adorableness? OH YES. Since there was no love lost there with Siwon, I was also all goods with the minimal romance in 'Skip Beat!' although the ending left a bit, only a tad, to be desired. The best relationship for me was Gong Xi and Qin's girl-mance...sis-mance... (honestly, there needs to be a girl word equivalent for bromance). They were honestly perfect for each other and so cute together. Again I seriously wish there had been more scenes between them towards the end. Real love doesn't just exist between lovebirds. I could say more about 'Skip Beat!' but I will leave it there. On that note I must most-definitely end by saying, AI WO BA BU! Gotta love it.
