Jerry Yan is texting me through his Sony Ericsson cellphone. Tonight, he's saying, "Miss U".
Fantasies are for free!
Jerry Yan has been the leading man of my dreams since I went crazy over Meteor Garden back in 2003.
Before Meteor Garden, I've always been a snob in my viewing preferences; always rationalizing my choices of shows and leisure time activities etc., and mostly, if not always patronizing Western shows and literature.
It irritated me when the buzz at work was all about Dau Ming Sz and Sancai. Who the hell were they? Finally, I decided to watch an episode to see what the frenzy was all about.
Before I knew it, I was hooked to the max. After work, I would cozy up at the couch in front of the TV and cross the threshold between reality and paradise.
After the show ended, many months later, I ordered the VCD set online and would use MG as my background noise while doing paper work.
***
I think I have viewed the two seasons of Meteor Garden five times over and still get that giddy feeling while watching and even after.
***
Last year, a friend of mine introduced me to Itazura Na Kiss, an anime series, and I was sucked into the colorful world of Irie-kun and Kotoko. The same friend recommended Hana Yori Dango the anime series.
After 6 years of Meteor Garden, I found myself entrenched in Yoko Kamio's drama.
So much so that one of my bestfriends sent me the first four books of the original manga (which are part of my prized possessions).
***
And now, the same co-workers who were crazy over Meteor Garden are busy updating on Gu Jun Pyo, Geum Jan Di and Ji Hoo...
What's a girl to do? I joined the band wagon, and am hooked.
***
The Real Star of the show I must say is Yoko Kamio. She has retold the Cinderella and Little Mermaid stories in the modern day Asian setting. Who could resist a fairy tale?
It is every girl's dream. Unabashedly, it is mine.
And of course, in a jaded, heartbroken era, happy endings are best sellers. If it eludes us in the ground we tread, we get the vicarious victory through the TV screen for that moment in time.
Sayonara for now, xie xie ni... Jaa Ne! Till my next musing...

hello, i'm currently watching BOF and really enjoyed their show. I can't believe i'm hooked to this story, too! Yoko Kamio is indeed a genius.
I've watched MG, HYD anime and Live action and (plus the Movie version, too!). Right now, I'm at BOF's episode 5 (or 6 already). Might post about my opinion soon, hehehe...
