Desire on 5th Gear! (Vroooom)

I am watching this drama 10 years after it's release and liked it. First and foremost, I liked it because it is a comfortable watch of only 14 episodes. Top actors Peter Ho, Barbie Hsu and Huang Xiao Ming gave it all in their acting.

The story written got me truly frustrated and angst. One beautiful girl loved intensely by two handsome guys from high school up till adulthood. Possessiveness, jealousy, insecurity, fear of abandonment, all played out by the two guys, on full 5th gear, from 1st to 12th episodes. So it was like watching Formula 1 love race.

The role of Xia Mo was perfect for Barbie Hsu. I normally find Barbie just a beautiful actress. However, she managed to do justice with her character in this drama. She acted well with her beautiful serene facial expressions and her cool temperament. Even when her world was falling apart with the two men playing 'tug of war' for ownership of her, she still managed to hold herself together. Yes, there were many scenes that her crying was on point, which in turn made my crying on point too.

This is a good drama to watch and not a boring moment to waste. It teaches us how we should love.

Read that Peter Ho is also a producer of this drama. Good investment and loved his acting too. He held the show together well from beginning to end.

Cheers!
