I just finished watching the Taiwan TV Drama "MARS" and the ending was a little unsatisfactory. I mean I wanted more for an ending (my lil bro Lex said he wanted to see the bisexual effeminate sociopath dead or get killed. LOL), but the mention of the "end of the world and will be ruled by Mars" rumor was a little nostalgic for me and I knew that their love will live on happily after that. It made me remember all that they've gone through, and it was like they've been to hell and back for so many times. They even gave up for a couple of times, but somehow before they could admit it, it was as if they were destined to be together: the playboy and the shy girl.
Both arose from tragedies and still sufferring from the after effects, but their love grew stronger.
What they have gone through is no joke in the fictional world. Ling (the lead male character starred by Vic Zhou) had to overcome the psychological injuries he bore since his twin brother's suicide. Entering the state of false death is not some matter to be laughed around. Seeing the death of his twin brother traumatized him a lot. It was like he saw himself dead. Since then, he broke all the mirrors he comes across to and was brought to a psychiatric ward for his worsening condition.
The story progresses when old high school classmates appear in the series which made Ling and Qi Luo's love put into test.
I love their love. And eventhough that somehow the story was kinda one-sided for Ling's part in the beginning because of his life story, just before I knew it, Qi Luo's story was then revealed. A victim of sexual harassment in the school by an english teacher and of rape by his stepfather.
Their experience is just...wow. Yeah, I mean what if those were real? How will they keep sanity then?
The appearance of the very villainous bisexual effeminate sociopath Tong Dao was really dark, mysterious and creepy. He was like "The Joker" in "Batman" but in more realistic and teenage world. He tries to bring the evil nature of Ling which was a side of him that he wants to be gone. Tong Dao even tried to kill Qi Luo for Ling to lose sanity and becomes his only companion.
But this character's darkness didn't seem to last. At first, he was really scary, but throughout the end of the series, he becomes annoying. Eventhough he was the cause of the greatest tragedy that happened to the couple in the series, he was still annoying for me. Somehow, he lost his darkness. Maybe it was meant to be? Ionno, but it was such a waste for a very effective villain.
Da Ye & Qing Mei together? So cute! And I'm glad Ling apologized to her for his playboy ways back then which she quickly warned him not to remind her of it since she had long forgotten them.
All in all? Great although there are some minor flaws in it. But what do you know, I'm watching it again right now! LOL! Don't blame me. Blame Fuyumi Soryo. He started the manga series anyway.

*You should also listen to their opening theme "Ling" (Zero) by Alan Kuo. It's awesome.
*Oh, the actors in this drama are really good too!
