[Drama Reviews] 旋风少女Taekwondo Girl

[Drama Review] Taekwondo Girl
 
Taekwondo Girl Quick Synopsis:
The story tells the journey of our heroine who has a fondness for Taekwondo ever since she was little. After her parents died in a tragic car accident, our heroine (Hu Bing Qing) is adopted and raised by a Master Taekwondo whose skills and reputation have been defamed by his enemies. Honest, righteous, and determined to succeed, she gradually transforms from a weed into a professional Taekwondo fighter. On her path to hone her exceptional talents, our heroine is loved and supported by three men. ( source from: avirtualvoyage)
Okay on to the cast:
 
Hu Bing Qing as Qi Bai Cao
She did fairly well considering her amateur status. Her fight scenes could have do better without those serious green screens. However, her character did get a little draggy towards the end. Not to mention, how irritating her love triangle is.
Yang Yang as Ruo Bai
Finally, no bangs to cover his handsome face! The pretty boy did extraordinary well in his senior role! His feelings for Bai Cao was demonstrated very well and he did looked sick when he's suppose to. Come on, no one dislikes a charming senior that's fierce yet caring at the same time.
 
Zhao Yuan Yuan as Fang Ting Yi
I've seen her in some previous projects, she definitely can act. Her only weakness, was her heavy accent. I got really irritated by her constant cries of "Chu Yuan Ge Ge". 
 Chen Xiang as Fang Ting Hao
Fang Ting Hao is hands down, my favorite character in this show! The typical rich kid likes poor girl, but don't get the girl plot. I confess, i have second lead syndrome.
Bai Jing Ting as Yu Chu Yuan
Chu Yuan is my least favourite character in this show. His appearance in the show was just to come into Bai Cao and Ruo Bai's relationship. Also, the whole drama has been emphasizing that he is an all time Taekwondo expert, without showing any of his fight scenes. 
I got turned off whenever he appeared.
Jiang Yi Yi as Jing Min Zhu
Little child star, Jiang Yi Yi did get on my nerves as the loud and daring korean brat Jin Min Zhu. Her failed korean accent made her all the more adorable.
Li Xue Ying as Li En Xiu
The character that the whole drama was all about, Li En Xiu.
She had limited screen time and she did, deliver a pleasant performance. Looking forward to more of her future projects!
Seven Tan as Fan Xiao Ying, Yu Ting Er as Qu Guang Ya
Seven Tan and Yu Ting Er plays the typical female lead's best friend. Seven's constant tries at chasing her dear senior Ruo Bai always managed to cracked me up. Yu Ting Er's expressions are really stiff and limited. She is, believe it or not, just 15. 
Leo Wu as Hu Yi Feng
Little hottie, Leo was over-exaggerating in some scenes, but when he's this hot, who cares?
Leo Wu as Hu Yi Feng and Seven Tan as Fan Xiao Ying
This noona-dongseng relationship totally cracked me up. I prefer this cute pairing over the leads, simply because it was really too draggy and nothing progresses.
 
All in all, if you are a fan of the leads, do give this drama a try, however you will be disappointed at the floppy ending. Heard that there will be a season 2!
 Ratings: 5/10 
[Official Trailer]
Come on Season 2! I'm gamed for more Yang Yang and Chen Xiang!
