=D It truly is. And no, I'm not talking about the manga. I'm talking about the Taiwanese drama!! X3 Which I amazingly have in dvds downstairs XDD It is SOOO good! X3 <3 Zai Zai!! (read on to understand what I'm blabbering about)
At first I didn't even know it was Mars. My mom and I both thought it was a movie, so we put it into the DVD player. There were some problems with our chinese dvd player (we have a chinese one (to play both asian formatted stuff and "normal" dvds XDD), and a... english one XD), so I went to deliver the papers while my mom and dad tried to fix it. By the time I got back, my mom had already started watching it, and just finished the prologue. I sat down just as the theme was playing and it showed the title "Mars"... though they spelled it funny or something cuz it appeared as "mArs" XDD IT'S OK! lol. I started freaking out and going o.o OMG OMG OMG! THIS IS BASED ON THE MANGA ISN'T IT?! *sees guy on motorcycle and shy girl* XD YES YES IT MUST BE IT! *finds out the boy is rebellious and fun loving* X3 omg it is~!!! *starts spazzing out on the couch*
=3 So yes, I got to watch the first two eps and i'm in loveeee! Both with the series and Chen Ling (translated into: Zero Chen
[yes the guy's name in Mars is also Zero! XD TWICE THE ZERO LOVE FOR ME!!]) I don't
usually like guy characters with shoulder-length hair, but eeeeeeee X3 The actor for Zero is Zhou Yu Min (yes he has the same last name as me XD it's the same chinese character =O tho that doesn't matter O_o...), or also known as Zai Zai. He's both an actor and singer (part of the famous band F4). =DDD
I really like the character personalities in Mars. Especially Zero and Qi Luo. Qi Luo is a really really quiet type and seems to either hate all guys, or fears them, due to some sexual harrassment in her past. She's almost the complete opposite of Zero in some ways, but I'm pretty sure both are fragile deep down with twisted pasts that haunt them. =) I'll see later on. X3 he's so sweet.
This isn't a cheesy teen romance show! I'm very serious. Here, you can even read a review if you don't believe me.
Here's an excerpt from a review on spcNet (

=3 how cute# He's scared of the dark.
XD awwww!!#He actually didn't mean to audition for Meteor Garden, he just went with his friend and got chosen for the role of Hua Ze Lei. He didn't want to accept the role at first, but Vic didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
o.o;; he's that talented X3 or maybe he looked the part XD still!# He quit school because he couldn't attend normally like regular students. The paparazzi would follow him everywhere. He wouldn't be allowed to talk to them without making an appointment through his manager first.
O_o wow... he's so popular *_*# He loves to sleep, his goal is to sleep 10 hours a day.
Now THAT'S my type of guy!! XD *loves sleeping in more than anything*#In middle school, there was a girl who liked to leave a lovely breakfast on his desk every morning, but it's a shame that, to this day, he still doesn't know who it was.
=3 That is SO cute X3#Zai Zai isn't allowed to answer any questions from the media who haven't first made an appointment with his manager.
O_o wow. That must be hard...#Zai Zai doesn't have great pronunciation in Mandarin; he can't pronounce 'ang' clearly (he says 'an' instead of 'ang'), but Da S AKA Barbie Hsu told him to practice barking like a dog = 'kang kang', so he did!
XD hahaha that's so cute. But kang kang? O_o Taiwanese sounds different from Mandarin in some ways... though my parents refuse to call it Taiwanese XDD (they're the types that keep insisting that Taiwan is part of China and won't stand w/ nething else. I'm loosey goosy over it.)# His current girlfriend is Barbie Hsu whom he co-starred with in the series Meteor Garden and Mars.
=) I can soo see them together# He was said to have five girlfriends in the past. None of them lasted for a year.
=O Like me!! He just hasn't found the right one yet ^^o.o;; Did this post get too long? *is typing in notepad b/c dad is in room* ;__; I can't watch Mars w/ my parents at home, not even on the weekend... my dad would murder me. My mom continued watching after dinner (and still is), but if I joined her, my dad would chew my head off about how I should be concentrating on school. Though I'm done my hw. And there's nothing else left for me to do. XDD Guhhh! *goes off to search for torrents of Meteor Garden and perhaps Mars with eng subtitles XDD*
* [Kimi - just a little bit obsessed/crazy over Mars + Zai Zai]
P.S. Mi-chan, why didn't Travis go to the Dew Tour? O_o When I tuned in, it said Nate won and that Travis didn't turn up x.x
