ShenZhen (2014)

Story: After reading the synopsis for this drama I didn't have much expectations for it. So I went into it knowing it would be about a guy who will share a home with three girls. This story really did not interest me much at all, as I was uncertain as to what to expect - a story like this can go in any direction and I was hoping for the best. I do admit though that the first few episodes did a great job at grabbing my attention so I managed to continue.

Acting/Cast: I originally watched this for Xiao Zhu (aka Show) and Gui Gui (aka Emma)! Was really excited that Show was finally acting in a new drama. However, I was disappointed that it was a Chinese production though as I don't generally enjoy them as much as Taiwanese dramas. TT I usually cannot stand all the dubbing. I was glad that they didn't dub them, I'm not sure about the other Chinese actors though XD Usually I love watching Emma in dramas because she is so adorable, but I really disliked her character in this. She was a bit unbalanced - perhaps due to poor writing. I also absolutely hated the main female lead in this too! She was beyond annoying - I especially dislike girls like her in reality!

Music: It was quite nice hearing Show with another song although I've never really been a huge fan of his singing. I do like some of his slow ballad songs though.

Rewatch Value: Probably won't be touching this one again. I actually ended up skipping through the last 10 episodes or so as I can easily understand what's going on with the story. I didn't care about the details anymore.

Overall: It got off to a nice start, but then the story went no where. The story had no originality and I felt like I have seen everything in it before. Every bit was predictable and expected with no surprises at all. It was fun at first but then got really tedious to sit through.. of course there are some really cute parts which I enjoyed. I also didn't feel like there was much development with the relationships - how did everyone end up liking each other? Couples were just suddenly into each other and in love O.O Only reason I watched this is for Show! So if you are a die hard fan of his, go ahead and watch this, otherwise I advise to stay away as there are much better dramas out there..
