Perish In The Name Of Love

 

Its been 12 years since this drama has broadcasted. How much has time flies. I miss old TVB dramas where they put so much effort into their story and war scenes.

 

Since re-watching this drama, it makes me realize how strong love can be. Like if you were meant to be, you will be together.

 

Steven and Charmaine were childhood sweethearts in the palace, but because of jealousy and the thirst to be Empress, an evil concubine blames Maggie, (who plays as Charmaine's mother) that she was the one that poison her causing her to lose her son at birth. Moses and his mother were furious and banished Maggie. Being a loving daughter, Charmaine pleaded to Moses to let her go with her mother.

Because of it, Steven and Charmaine were separated at 11 years old.

 

Time flies, and Charmaine, Maggie, Sonja and her grandpa lived in a small village where Charmaine buy fish and deliver it to the soldiers. Whereas Steven's family were living in a horrible condition making Steven work in a canon company. His friend, Michael Tong, met Charmaine and fancy her.

 

Anyways, Charmaine left her village to work in a canon company owes by Michael Tong's father. It also happens to be where Steven works too.

You could imagine how frustrated I was when every times Charmaine and Steven inopportunity to see each other. And when they did, I was hoping that they would recognize each other. At some point Charmaine realize that Steven was her childhood sweetheart, but because she promise her mother that she would not expose her identity in fear that people will assassin them, so she didn't tell him.

Eventually Steven realize that Charmaine was his sweetheart. At the same time Charmaine and her family returned to the palace.

Things happen and Steven were in the palace with Michael. We later found out that Steven was engaged to Annie Man.

 

And Maggie found out that the evil concubine framed her. In order to protect her children, Sonja and Charmaine, she seek elsewhere to find evidence. Annie's dad had a letter that has the detailed of what happened. Annie was going to give the letter to Charmaine, but the evil concubine found out and they fought. Annie died. Sonja put her body in the lake, and frame Charmaine.

 

Charmaine is a prisoner, and Moses were frustrated as his people could not help him defeated his enemy. To solve the problem he made an official date where Charmaine will find her prince. The thing is, everyone knows that Charmaine has to married this greedy man who has power. Steven enter the competition. PLOT TWIST. Steven won the competition. Charmaine and Steven are engaged!!!! SO HAPPY!!!

Sonja was forced to married the greedy man. She was supposed to married him from the start but she realize that he wasn't charming and force Charmaine to married him, but karma fight back and that's her ending. *Life lesson in TVB dramas: Do good deed, and good deed will be receive, do bad deed, karma will get you back in the worse way. So do good deed guys*

 

Steven were sent to war, and Charmaine is in the palace waiting for his news.

 

To find out what happened next, give this drama a try. It is worth a watch.

Feels like this couple is so underrated.

Non TVB dramas that I have seen...

While I haven't been watching TVB dramas, I have been exploring other dramas outside of Hong Kong. Dramas that may have been air for many years now and with a good plot manage to make me wanted to watched it over and over again.

Fall in Love With Me - Taiwanese drama (2014)

Starring: Aaron Yan, Tia Li, Beatrice Fang, Jack Li, Johnny Yang...

Lu Tian Xing (Aaron Yan) is a CEO that owes a successful advertisement company. He suddenly announce that he wants to take a three months break and disappear.

Tao Li Su (Tia Li) is a girl who is struggling to keep her decrease brother, OZ advertisement company a success along with her friends (Jack, Johnny, Katherine).

Around this time LTX decides to help TLS because her brother has inspire Tian Xing into persuading marketing in advertisement as his career.

LTX disguise himself as Xiao Lu (the one on the right in the poster above) to help OZ. And from there romance begin to sparkles.

Thoughts:
This drama was great! Aaron's performance as Lu Tian Xing and Xiao Lu is phenomenal! He has outdone himself. From this 'A Time Of Love- Japan,' I've become a fan of Aaron Yan. Anyone a fan of him?
From episode 12 onwards, the drama was a little cliché. With Huan Huan (Beatrice Fang) as the girl who is in love with Lu Tian Xing, you can guess what happens next.


Love Myself or You- Taiwanese drama (2014)

Starring: Jasper Liu, Puff Guo, Lene Lai, Jolin Chien

This drama revolves around French cuisine, so be prepare to be craving everything that they cook up in this drama!

Fu Zi Jie or Louis (Jasper Liu), is the son of the owner the restaurant that  Du Kai Qi (Puff Guo) works at.  Kai Qi is used to being alone and being independent but Zi Jie is determine to show his childhood playmate, Kai Qi being with someone is better than being alone. And the love story begins.

Thoughts:
For the first few episodes, Jasper has the same expression but afterward he was more comfortable with his character and you can see it in the later episodes. Jasper and Puff chemistry were really cute! I ship them! :)
Puff's performance were really good! She definitely has that Kai Qi in her.

I really like this drama, didn't want it to end. It is so good! Won't say much, don't want to spoil it otherwise you won't watch it. ;)

Scarlet Heart or Bu Bu Jing Xing - Chinese drama (2011)

Starring: Cecelia Liu, Kevin Cheng, Nicky Wu, Justin Yuan, Kenny Lin...

Pretty sure you guys have seen this drama, if not, you might have heard of it. If you haven't watch it, do it now. One of my favourite Chinese drama.

Time travelling series has always been interesting and entertaining to see how a modern person can bring  their modern knowledge in the Qing Dynasty.

My favourite princes are 10th, 13th and 14th. What about you?

There is a modern version to this one, but I didn't watch it base on the poor reviews it received.

Princess Pearl 1 and 2 or Huan Zhu Ge Ge- Chinese Drama (1997&1998)

This drama is so famous all over the world that I'm sure you know how quickly hook I was to this drama! Love the plot, cast and the theme song.

Dang (When) by Power Station.

Listens to the song and relive your childhood.

And yes, my favourite couple is Vicki Zhao Wei and Alec Su

Recent pic of them.

And these are the dramas that I have been watching instead of TVB. Guess TVB dramas doesn't interest me that much anymore? However, I am looking forward to Linda and Alex's drama.
