Mars

This Taiwanese drama stars THE FAMOUS F4’s Vic Chou and Zhou sister’s Da S aka Barbie Zhou. Both are quite heavy names already. That’s right! Their names, acting, expressions everything is like that. A very mature acting by both the actors, giving full- justice to the characters and the story. Since the drama is adopted scene by scene from the manga “mars”, it seems as though manga is given life with lots of colors.Not a scene, where you will start feeling that this is just a cosplay. Fabulous direction, plot, screenplay….  etc. . Seems as though, I can’t express how good it is, in every aspect.

The story is all about Cheng Ling, who is an utter, nth degree-playboy. He is a biker and typical last bencher-kind, who seldom comes to class. But, is very popular among girls mainly because of his looks, attitude and style statements that he makes. He falls for a girl called Qi luo, who is basically an artist. She is a girl who suffers within, without letting others know, what’s happening in her life. She detests men, and that’s one of the twists in a story as to why she does so.And, definitely, there is a reason as to why our hero has also become what he is now.

 How these two people who belong two different worlds come close and what happens to them, what hardships do they face, how they support each other etc. are all picturised along with a tinge of psychic problems in people. . I choose not to spill out those fine details.

Though this is ideally characterised under “shoujo” as per manga, there is surely everything for everyone in the story. Biking, handsome boys, beautiful girls, lot of romance, moral values, family, college, drama, little bit of comedy (here and there), revenge, psychological etc.

Now….  It’s a must watch for:  people who like mature love stories, which are intricate?
 and have lot of stuff in it. Rather not a simple love story and happy-ending like.

Watch out for: Main characters’ acting, story line, direction, opening theme “ ling” sung by Alan Kuo which is very rocking and emotional at the same time and Closing theme sung by our main characters themselves, Vic Chou and Barbie Zhou which is very soulful.

And…. May be many more things which you will find out upon watching it.   Because, I feel this is one story which is thought-provoking and will draw you right into the story right from the scene 1.   There is a lot to explore in it.. I mean!                                                                                                                                                

So…..    Happy watching!!
