Ying Ye 3 Jia 1


“Ying Ye 3 Jia 1” is drama series where Joe Chen Qiao En and Ming Dao teamed-up once again after their hit “Prince Turned into a Frog.” If in the latter I didn’t enjoy their tandem, this time I was able to feel the reel and real love between them. This drama is about four college students --Xia Tian, Jia Jiang, Fang Wei and Bulu--who grew up in westside street and study in Ying Ye school. Trouble ensues when the gun of Xia Tian's father was misplaced, a day before his retirement as a police officer.

Seeing Ming Dao once again in a drama feels good and being paired with her rumored girlfriend, Qiao En, is heaven. In fact, I am also one of their ardent followers. Ming Dao, as always, can connect well with his leading lady. His acting here is satisfactory as well. As to Joe, the way she giggled is very natural for a girl who is tickled by her crush. Her eyes were also glowing, I bet for Ming Dao, who else?!

Jason Hsu, who played Bulu, had the smallest part among the three lead guys. The angle between him and Wen Hui (Achel Zhang) didn't thrill me at all. Better if he was cast as Fang Wei because he and Qiao En do also have chemistry since they already teamed-up in other series. Huang Zhi Wei who played Fang Wei is not suited for the role because of his mature looks and stocky built to think his character is a college student. If not Jason, Ehlo Huang (Ming Dao's co-member in 183 Club) should have played the part or other actor who has this boy-next-door appeal.

Well, this is typical T-drama with the presence of a powerful third party to stand between the main lovers and one of them will be having a threat in his life or will drift away later on. But it is refreshing to see Ming Dao and Joe Chen doing some stunts.

To sum up, all I can say that this series is a must watch for Ming-En fanatics...
