Heechul and Zhou Mi to star in chinese drama

I have no idea when it airs but I can't wait to see "Melody of Youth" (青春旋律). I've never seen a Kim Heechul drama but I bet he's a good actor. Kind of a drama queen isn't he? This one's in Chinese though so it'll be interesting to see if he's got a knack for picking up languages. I wonder how good of an actor Zhou Mi is.

Heechul (Shen Tai 申泰) plays a 24-year old gamer who is invited from Korea to participate in a video game contest. My Chinese isn't very good but I think the Baidu page says that Heechul discovers that he actually isn't just a Korean farmer's boy, he is the successor of the biggest agricultural company in Korea. How very Asian drama. The pauper finds out that he's rich and gets the girl. Possibly. Then there's Zhou Mi (Gao Da 高达). He comes from a rich family but wants to make his own imprint on this world, without using family connections. He starts his own business and hits a wall. Well, many walls. Gao Da just isn't very good a running a business. Rich boy leaves family and sees the real world. Again, very Asian drama. So to wrap up, air soon!!

I'm pissed. It's midnight and I can't sleep. I moved over a month ago and I still have no bed frame. Actually, my room consists of a mattress and a lamp. Yeah that's sad. This past month, I've learned that I should just make my own furniture. Furniture stores are so unreliable. I wonder if I can sue them. And I know this isn't really Asian related but I just need to rant. Plus, it just hit me that school starts in like a week and something and I've been so much of a couch potato that I've had nightmares of my P.E. teacher chasing after me screaming at me for being such a lazy bum. I'm so going to fail fitness testing.

Ok this is Asian related. 1) Guo Jingming is gay? He's so pretty! I've always thought it was kind of a waste that he's not an actor or singer. I guess it wouldn't surprise me if it was revealed that he is gay [has it been confirmed by any chance?]. His books are written in a chao romantic Asian drama way, something only romance-obsessed girls would watch. Or people getting in touch with their inner Asian, like me. If you've seen or read Summer's Desire, it's like that, but personally I think it's 5 times more dramatic. Not to say they're bad or anything. His books quite-well written, and it means a lot coming from me, a person who only understands every other word. --I think I lost my point.. Moving on. 2) That completely fake Chinese travel show that SJM is on that I mentioned earlier? Called Korean Impression btw. Turns out it's hosted by Zhou Mi. I saw like 5 min of it and it's aiight. Zhou Mi's a good host. Figures, since it was his major. I think they should cut out the girl though. She's more like a crazed fangirl than a host. They should get Xie Na. She has a way of making everything interesting.
