Hmmm... there are some other things I want to say about MSQY...
like... the chemistry between Alec & his bestfriend, Ruby Lin. Oh, well... some fan says that they have excellent chemistry in there... this is something I don't really agree on..
Alec & Ruby could have a good (really good) chemistry- I believe that... but
.... can't someone offer them a serial/movie with a proper love story?
I love watching Du Fei & Ru Ping (they saved me from getting asleep during watching 'Romance in the Rain')... But, Ru Ping only realised that she loves him at the end of the series (she is so much in love with Shu Huan at first, right...) & their relationship ended happily (they got married)... their ending was kind of rushed...
The same goes to 'Taiji Prodigy'...rushed ending.... Yi Tian Xing chose to spend his life with Bing Xin after she came to save him... Since then, he has turned into a househusband... I don't really enjoy this serial but it was something new to watch Alec as a stubborn, persistent & unpredictable Yi Tian Xing... It's a pity that Alec didn't appear much...
Winners Take All (Da Ying Jia)---I watched this movie on TV2 three years ago, the story doesn't give much impression to me.. & personally, I think he has better chemistry with Joey Yung.
See what I mean? All 'abnormal love stories'.!!!
Maybe it will be something new if Ruby accepted 'Love of the Aegean Sea' to act as Guan Xiao Tong two years ago.... But, then, maybe if Alec paired up with Ruby for that serial, it will not have the same effect given by Alec & Chae Rim...
*Sigh*
The lack of chemistry in MSQY may be due to the fact that Jun An & Xiao Mei are siblings... but there are several scenes where their chemistry is better (only for a while)... that is after Mo Shu Quan was taken over by Yu La where Xiao Mei & Jun An moved in to the small restaurant Jun An worked at before he become involved in magic.
I do feel a bit sad that they can't be together as lovers in the end...
LOL...I admit that I have mixed feelings toward this serial which I, myself is hard to explain... Let me just put it this way~
I LIKE:
-watching Alec performing magic, his eyes are very magical
-the opening theme, totally haunting
-watching Kou Zhen Hai here, because he likes Jun An..haha
-Alec's hairstyles during magic performance
I HATE:
-Zheng Ya Nan & Pu/Piao Yu La, from the beginning to the end
-Jin Xiu in first few episodes
-the microphones that suddenly appear above the actors/actresses head in some scenes (I can't believe that they really let this thing happen...)
-some scenes that is not edited neatly
I'M AMAZED/SURPRISED THAT:
-The Wu family has two handsome sons & a beautiful daughter (well-chosen casts)
-Ya Nan didn't become crazy like Yi Qian
-Jun An learnt magic very fast in just 2 years (okay, maybe it was because he is talented)
-Jun An & Xiao Mei did not have kissing scene(s) [this is understandable...we can't promote incest, right? It's totally unethical & immoral.... bad for children]
-Qi An can't do magic, he is better in fighting
DID I CRIED WATCHING THIS SERIAL?
The answer is YES. Only for 3 times.
1) First time is the part where Yu La tried to get Jun An by offering him enough money to pay Cai Fei Hong... Jun An was frustrated by Yu La, returned her the money & gave her a long lecture... I cried when he went to find Xiao Mei & asked her to hug him tightly, very tightly.... that was sweet...
2) Second time is the scene where before Cai Fei Hong died. He felt so bad & guilty over the death of Jun An & Xiao Mei's father before he left the world. That was sad..
3)The third time is when Jun An & Xiao Mei knew they are siblings. 'Wo shi ni de qin ge....' I love watching Ruby at this scene...very convincing
