    Talking One Sentence Series Gists (**Beware of Spoilers!!!**)

    I'll start off with some examples.

    Qin Wang Li Shi Min: Li Shi Min loses the princess, but gets the Crown.

    Misleading Track: Evil Ben murders and manipulates many, but is eventually caught when he himself is manipulated.

    Tou Du (a.k.a. Wei Xian Lu Cheng): Smuggling humans is a high-profit business, but there are good reasons why it's illegal.

    My Love Patzzi: Amusement park girl Yang Song Er is caught in a friendly love triangle, but chooses the easy way out by not making a definitive decision.

    Zhi Zun Hong Yan (a.k.a. The Legend of Wu Mei Niang): The sad love story of Wu Mei Niang and Li Jun Xian distorts history, but doesn't deprive China of its only female emperor.

    Have fun, but no run-ons please.

    Xiao Ao Jiang Hu(2001)- Li Hu Chong faced many difficult challenges within his clan and the Martial World, but he was to be able to restore order in the Sun clan and able to be with his lover, Ren Ying Ying (female). Loads of friends and foes, in this one kinda complicated.

    Ba Hao Dang Po (Pawnshop No.8)- In life, everything has a price and an heavy cost. Would your own life be considered more important than exchanging for a material good?, "Human greed and desire!"

    No way! Don't underestimate us SPCNET-ers I'm all about being concise - it's laziness. In fact, I'll do three of each place (except Japan and Singapore).

    KOREAN
    Full House - Song Hye Kyo and Rain argue while living in a house but then fall in love as expected.
    Autumn in My Heart - Love triangle between SHK, SSH, and WB, with two practically siblings falling in love, but eventually SHK gets the stereotypical nose bleed and dies of leukemia in a death that is entirely too dragged out.
    Dae Jang Geum - Audiences sit through almost the life of Dae Jang Geum, a smart doctor (who is dumb at times), in a (predictable and loooong) story that spans from parents/birth to her reunion with her love.

    TAIWANESE
    Dou Yu - Guo Pinchao is so hot
    Okay, I'll try again -- bad boy finds good girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl fight, good girl becomes bad girl, boy and girl reconcile, all in the background of a few fights here and there. That was a run-on.
    Wang Zi Bian Qing Wa - The guy loses his memory 309582305 times that you'd think he'd be dead by now, but as expected, he ends up with the girl.
    Meteor Garden - Poor, opinionated girl Shan Cai and rich, arrogant boy Dao Ming Si fall in love after numerous obstacles. Now that I think about it, aside from the memory part (actually MG 2 unfortunately took that theme), WZBQW ripped A LOT off of this series.

    MAINLAND
    Fen Hong Nv Lang - Four very funny, single girls with distinct personalities live together, and each sparks on their own adventure that includes guys, other jealous girls, and lots of laughter.
    Moment in Peking - An introspective view on the lives of three relatively well-off families - Yao, Zeng, and Niu - as they are affected by both personal relationships and the more large scale events occuring in China towards the early 20th century.
    Chinese Paladin - Xiao Yao picks Ling'er (the wrong girl) over Yueru, but it matters little since everyone dies in the end except for Xiaoyao and his baby.

    TVB
    War and Beauty - A bunch of girls want the Emperor's attention (to the point where they are all rather female doggish).
    Golden Faith - A group (and rather dumb - make that REALLY dumb - group, in my opinion) of people scramble for a family's fortune like Europeans scrambled for Africa, with a few romances sprinkled in.
    Life Made Simple - A look into the mind of A Wang, a mentally challenged individual who likes Jessica Hsuan, who happens to like Bosco Wong (who is rather fine in this movie for him).

    I watched a lot of pointless series now that I think about it.
    I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know? -Ernest Hemingway

    It started with a kiss: silly girl chases genius introverted guy who at first finds her annoying but at the last minute, after a series of entertaining crisises, eventually realizes he has fallen for her simple-minded optimism and ditches his business-influenced-partnership-created fiance and snatches her away in the nick of time from another old admirer.

    Joe & ariel Rock!! sorry for the run-on... need practice


    why's he hiding in there? perve.
