The first 10 episodes were amazingly well developed and I loved watching the character development and the initial friendship between Yu Xi (Lorene's character) and Zhan Cheng (Kingone's character) when he was blind. After watching this drama, I now want to go back to Taiwan and visit where they filmed it (Big City department store in Hsinchu, Taiwan). Like any memorable melodramas, they make you want to visit the filming places. It was very well executed, whether the scenes, plots, actors, or the setting.
Melodramas like Someone like you are either fantastic or terrible. Yes, many people believe it is draggy like usual T-dramas but I think it's a personal preference. The plot is very melodramatic but strangely addictive. As a whole, I was completely sucked into this drama. Rewatch Value 10 (accidentally submitted my review via the account I don't use-this is my official one) Phenomenal drama. The writer does not care about one deciding for oneself, more like others enforcing their will on you! NO! Not romantic at all!!! Something that the writer did not care about. There are movies and dramas about people in coma and loved ones waiting for them to wake up just to marry them, while they are BOTH aware of the situation. Eventually Zhan Cheng wakes up to find Yu Xi outside in their backyard and she says "so I'm now your wife?" to what he responds "yes, you are my wife"!Īt this, all I am thinking is that this is NUTS!! THIS IS ILLEGAL!! He practically FORCED HIS WILL ON HER! She had no say in it whatsoever. HELLOOOOOO! Her mother even admits that is no good!!!!!Įven so, they go on with the wedding in the hospital room, the do the whole ceremony and the even record it, THEY EVEN TAKE PICTURES/VIDEOS WITH HER!!!įast-forwarding to when she wakes up from the coma, she wakes up in his house (which is now their house) and she sees the wedding video (if I can even call it that) and she CRIES! like CRIES so touched of what happened. But, to him the most reasonable solution is to marry his girlfriend (WITHOUT HER CONSENT btw), just her mother's approval of the marriage, of which she mentions clearly: "If Yu Xi were to know that I'm marrying her off without her consent she would kill me." So, here I'm thinking that he fears to loose Yu Xi, just like his fiancee. So, now he has a relationship with this other girl that is his fiancee's sister, and fate decides to repeat itself, she falls into a coma after an accident also.
He lost his fiancee in a car accident, after being in coma for a while. Let's understand why Zhan Cheng does this, okay? Ok, so imagine your boyfriends decides to marry you while you're in coma because he really wants to take care of you? Awwww. If not, well try to find the lifesaver floating ring that are almost always at the rails or side of the boat and COMMUNICATE not SCREAM and ask the other person where to throw it. My logical solution: Boy, that's your boat! Go inside the cabin and try to find the other dude in the boat. Zhan Cheng decides that it is best to jump into the sea and save Yu Xi, but it all goes awry because HE IS BLIND! He has the greatest idea of along with her scream in the middle of the sea and the night, screaming for help! There was another person in the boat, but could hear all the howling because, well he had HEADPHONES ON!! In one specific frustrating scene, Zhan Cheng and Yu Xi are in a boat and well Yu Xi falls into the water thinking that Zhan Cheng fell in the water, to my shock Yu Xi has a leg cramp -like everyone that falls into the water in an Asian Drama, be it shallow or not- so she calls out his name and he answers back in desperation that she fell into the water and he can't do anything to save her. Zhan Cheng is blind, so obviously you are going to see in the drama different scenarios where he is faced with difficulties which if he had been sighted he could have resolved them, but let me tell you something, if you are blind or have lost the ability to use one of your five senses, the other four senses develop more to overcome the disability. The characters seem to have no logic sense, specially both main characters. I'm going to mention the two things that bothered me the most, and well for the rest of the drama the scene weren't as bad.ġ. So, I decided to watch this because the story seemed interesting, but I really shouldn't have because now I'm mad at the stuff that they showed. There are far more better works of Kingone Wang than this one. I finished this a month ago but didn't have the guts to write about it, well because I didn't like it. This review may contain spoilers I usually don't write reviews, but this time I have to because nobody seems to be commenting about it.
