I'm really new to the whole "Chinese Drama" thing. Literally. A friend bugged me to watch Princess Weiyoung, and after much hemming and hawing, not really thinking I'd like it, I was absolutely floored by it's immenseness! It was amazing! Vanness' character I didn't like at first, but as the drama went on, because of his acting skill, that intense vibe that he has and just the ruthlessness of the character he was playing, I fell in love with him.... Then I started looking for other drama's he did and I just finished up AC! This one made me ugly cry because of emotions (painful) and the different storylines were gripping. By the last 2 shows, I was spent and literally had a headache by the time it was done! I think I'm a little old for Meteor Garden, and the fact that it's almost 20 years old, I'll take a pass. However, Vanness Wu has matured into the finest wine of an actor...although, I'll take the chocolate route too! Yummy!
