Nope I didn't miss out a word in the title. I'm not English lar.
But seriously, their Bohemian Rhapsody rawks! Check out the link and find out how much effort has been put into it! Especially those under the recording and song structure headings.
Saw a Taiwan serial just now. Not that I'm a fan, since I have too many comments about the inconsistencies and obvious flaws demonstrated in it. It so happens that some other family member(s) watch it. Spirits of Love, I believe that's the name.
Anyway, I happen to watch when something that's supposed to be tragic is happening. It starts off with Ah Chui* trying to rescue his friend Chui Wa* from the clutches of rival Mafia boss-cum-politician Ah Pao*. CW being held hostage by AP, who demands that AC return incrimiating evidence about AP's shadowy activities. So, being the gallant and not quite stupid friend, AC pulls out a tiny Beretta pistol and trains it on AP, thus forcing his rivals to release CW. [Ok, I said he was the not-quite-stupid friend, not the intelligent friend. Any person with wits would have dragged the chief mafiaso AP along as a way out safely. They were after all outnumbered 2 to 10s. -_-"]
Anyway, due to his oversight, the rival gang members manage to wallop both AC and CW and subdue them without any losses on their side. Soon after, Sheng Tian*, who after being informed of the situation by AC's wife Yue Feng*, rushes in to mediate. However, the ever naive ST is also given a good beating. AP's remark is the best man! "Why do you all stupidly to die?"
LOL!
After more rubbish talk and some more beating, AP suggests capturing YF and torturing her so as to coerce AC to give up the evidence. That's when [coincidence?!] YF appears on her own accord and turns over the evidence without so much as a fuss. Happily, AP lets them all go. On the way back, YF spots the Beretta that AC dropped. She rambles on about drama-mama stuff, then proceeds to take the gun and tries to kill AP. Without turning off the safety catch. Meaning, she can't shoot it even if she wanted to. Meaning, she was literally handing the gun over to the enemy right after threatening to kill him. Wahaha.."with friends like these who needs enemies?"
Not surprisingly, AP commands he cronies to kill AC with the same gun YF so kindly passed to them. In a brave and surprisingly agile show of bravery, YF jumps and shields AC from the 2 bullets. The four now realise [finally!] the sillyness and danger of the situation, and make haste to escape to treat YF. In the car, she reveals that she has duplicated and sent out copies of the evidence before arriving to "rescue" her man.
Ok, here comes the important part. She tells him that she has no regrets, and that she has had a lot of things in life. [This after complaining to AP during the confrontation that he has caused her and AC to lose their chance at happiness and prosperity..not to mention she has also condemned her unborn child to death] She continues and asks AC to live on and live to the maximum, including living her life for her.
Now that, that is totally rubbish, not to mention wholly selfish. After rashly trying to kill AP [a move that is meaningless since she has already released the evidence, thereby ensuring his eventual downfall] and is in the last throes of death, she forces the burden of surviving her to AC? Man..now I understand what Kenshin said in Rurouni Kenshin. "This burden..sometimes it's just too hard too bear. I don't even know whether I can atone for all my past mistakes.."
Selfish, brash person.
And I had a great time laughing at the scene where she reaches the hospital is doctors are trying to revive her. The ER is practically just a ward bed with curtains drawn. Not to mention you can see bottles of drugs on the shelf nearby, making it look more like a pharmacy-cum-bed than an ER. I know the expected response is to cry at this scene, but hey..I laugh when the joke's funny~
