MDWAV 1 afterthoughts

finished watching MDWAV1. hmm i can say that to me, it is not the best of the 3 series; but no matter what, being the first series, it will always have a special standing. still contemplating which is the best - MDWAV 2 or 3.

i guess the greatest downfall of MDWAV1 is that many things 不到味。many of the plots/emotions didn't come as intensefully as in MDWAV 2. even though their onscreen chemistry can be considered good, yet it's somehow a notch lower than the subsequent series. many concepts came across half-heartedly, lingering between rushed and draggy.

  • even though the woman in KTY's heart is MXL, this didn't come across strongly in this series - which i think KTY will still be deciding between 3 women had circumstances not made the choice for him. and this love ought to be the core concept of the entire series.
  • San Ben Yi Fu character wasn't given the right kind of aura - he ought to be someone hu does many things to gain his power and even though ultimately he's revealed to have done all these things for fear of loneliness, he shouldn't have been someone who'd withdraw all his plans for WeiLai/Zhen Zhen. Rather he should continue to do even more evil because someone has seen through his inner loneliness and he is trying to hide that even more - which will highlight the sad concept of him being really a lonely character. He can have the human qualities, but his ego should be so great that he can die trying to hide his soft side.
  • Zhen Zhen was well-developed along the plots, until till the very end,when she was revealed to have 10thousand lifetime's fate with san ben yi fu. It's like suddenly Zhen Zhen is just gone - there'd no more love entanglement with Tian You. it's just her and Yi Fu.
  • Fusheng is neglected!! - as always. throughout the whole series, MXL and KTY together with the baddies and their frens will be accounted for except for Fusheng, who's given a 马马虎虎treatment.
  • San Ben Yi Fu's plot was dragging for far too long.
  • and i din lik the monstrous-looking vampire transformation -.-

but i still like the series after all ^^ just some thoughts about the show that might make it better. but considering the fact that 13 had to change his script and casts last minute due to deaths, it's really good already.

liked 4 parts of the show most :)

  • MXL and KTY decides to spend one night together as normal people - singing K, getting into fights (ok not planned) and laughing from their hearts.
  • KTY who'd rather fall victim to the timeless torture of a vampire than to let go of MXL's hands.
  • MXL lying on KTY's shoulders in her car just before they attempt to travel back in time.
  • MXL shedding tears for KTY.
