Zhan Shen - MARS

Overall: It's a MUST WATCH! you can skip my review because all you really need to know is that you must watch it. So, what are you waiting for.
Storyline: It's a complex storyline about a shy artistic girl, Qi Luo (Barbie Xu) and a the care-free and play-boy Chen Ling (Vic Zhou). I don't want to give a synopsis for fear I might spoil the drama in any way. It isn't one of those typical dramas. It's is full of suspense, horror, humor, and an unbelievably love story.
Music: I love the music (especially the theme songs Ling/Zero - Alan Kuo and Let me love you by Vic Zhou and Barbie Xu)
Characters: They are so well developed and complex. Qi Luo and Chen Ling's family backrounds are heartwrenching.
Acting: Both Vic Zhou and Barbie Xu are extremely good actors. Their reactions are completely natural. The tears they shed make you want to cry with them. And best of all, the chemistry between them is so obvious.
