Review: Skip Beat (Extravagant Challenge!)


Year Released: 2011
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Title: Skip Beat (Extravagant Challenge!)
Category: Taiwanese Drama (ongoing series)

Web Summary: Gong Xi sacrificed her life to support her boyfriend, Bu Puo Shang, so he could become a successful singer. One day, Shang suddenly breaks up with Gong Xi, leaving her with nothing, and Gong Xi vows revenge. She decides to delve into the entertainment world and become even more successful than Shang to get back at him. Gong Xi therein meets Dun He Lian, another actor in her agency, who helps motivate her to become a top entertainer.

JM's Review: Should i lie and tell you that it was not Super Junior who drove me to watch this? *le grin* Anyway, i admit, i was intrigued because Donghae and Siwon were casted as the lead characters but after watching it for quite some time. I actually enjoyed watching Gong Xi (played by Ivy Chen) and Qin (played by Bianca Bai) more than the guys. I have read the manga and i must say that i am impressed at how the director of this drama pulled it together. Its amazing how Ivy portrays that slightly insane character. *bravo*

I love how annoying and idiotic Gong Xi is yet she turns out to be a genius actress in the drama. Its not yet complete and i am always anticipating what comes next. Donghae might be a good guy in real life as a member of Super Junior yet he is a great villain. Siwon is also a great actor and he fits his role perfectly. I love this drama to bits. *dances* I hope it doesnt end soon. Since im still at the 10th episode.

Final Verdict: SUPERB DRAMA! Really funny yet exciting. (No, its not the bias side of my brain which keeps complimenting this drama) Its really good if you watch it.

Overall Rating: 9/10 (Super Junior hotness + Ivy Chen's superb acting = eyegasms)

Recommendable? Should i just force it in your faces? *le grin* Watch this. Its definitely worth it.
