It was great to learn how it was all started for 鄧麗君 and learnt about her humble beginning.
Teresa Teng is based on the true story of the life of 鄧麗君, a well-known singer around the world, whose life was cut short at the age of 43.
Synopsis: The story begins with the unexpected situation of the concert in Shanghai in 2008. Lying on a stretcher, the third brother, Deng Chang Fu, recalled that on the morning of the early winter of 1953, the fourth child of the Deng family, "the girl," was born in a village in Taiwan's family. The girl's talent in singing appeared when she was young, but her father, Deng Shu, firmly opposed it. Deng Shu retired from the army and began his career as a market stall. The girl was puzzled by the depression and homesickness in her father's heart, but she became a little helper for her father to sell steamed buns. After graduating from primary school, the girl was not admitted to junior high school. However, winning the singing competition through the radio has become a regular shift for singing programs. Deng Shu clashed with hooligans at the market stall, was beaten and injured, and went into a lawsuit. Late at night, the couple felt all this was due to the lack of a fixed store. The girl listened in her ear, loved her parents, became a signed singer, paid in advance, and used the money to top the store for her father. Deng Shu was moved when he knew. The girl finally made it to the stage and got countless good reviews.
My Reviews:
1. I idolized 鄧麗君 and grew up listening to her music. My parents adore her music as well.
2. It was good to see how she got started in the entertainment business. She came from a poor but loving family. Her parents and four brothers protected and supported her dream.
3. It was also sad to see that her love life did not plan out how she expected, and she was lonely and unloved by her lovers.
4. She died at such a young age, 43, without having a family of her own.
5. I am curious to know how true the drama portrayed her best friend, Duan Ning. If it was true, 鄧麗君 should cut ties with her because I hated this character in the drama. She was selfish and not a true and caring friend for 鄧麗君. She only thinks of herself and does not allow Teresa to get involved with Zhou Tai Sheng, whom she had a crush on. He did not love her the way he loved Teresa Teng.
6. Peng Guan Ying, who played Zhou Tai Sheng, did a mediocre job playing this character. He did not show good emotions when he felt he made a mistake and lost her.
7. Peter Ho did a good job playing Wang Zhong Wen; at least, I can see his emotions when he called off the wedding. He felt guilty about hurting Teresa.
8. Michelle Chen did a good job playing 鄧麗君; the last few episodes were so good that I was balling.
I enjoyed this drama, and the music brought back good memories of my childhood listening to 鄧麗君. I give it an 8.0 rating.
