Hi everyone! (Sorry for having a text background colour, there was some problem with it) I feel like blogging at the moment. I thought I might as well talk about a drama I'm watching at the moment called On The Fringe (边缘父子). It is a Singaporean Chinese drama which ran from 2 August 2011 until 29 August 2011. I really got into watching Media Corp drama's after watching Don't Stop Believin' (我们等你!) and Destiny In Her Hands (断掌的女人). Although I don't 100% understand Mandarin, luckily all episodes have English subs so I'm learning Chinese at the same time.
From watching Don't Stop Believin' (我们等你!), I became a fan of the actors Edwin Goh, Kimberly Chia, Xu Bin & Ian Fang but also many others from this drama and others too! The thing about a lot of dramas (at least for Media Corp) is that they re-use a lot of the same actors because most dramas run from around 12-20 (some go on for longer or shorter), I started watching this drama because Edwin, Kimberly and Ian were in this. After watching a couple of episodes, I realised that there were many other actors which I have seen from various Media Corp dramas. It's sort of fun seeing the actors play different roles, some play both bad and good while some are normally either good or bad guys in these dramas haha!
Well anyway, On The Fringe is more of a drama about gangs than anything else. The main protagonist is a guy named Tian Yi Bang (Li Nan Xing) who was once in a gang and arrested for (i think) 15 years and now he's let out. When he was first sent to jail his wife came to tell him that he had a son and gave him a picture of the baby boy, telling him to never see him again.
If I had to rate the drama I'd give it a 7/10, just because it's good but not one of the best I've seen by them. I'm still watching the drama (around half way) but I don't quite see what's going to happen in the drama. The only predictable thing is that probably the protagonist will reveal himself to his son and one of the kids or supporting cast will get killed.
Oh well, it's getting late (11pm!) goodnight! (Or good morning haha!)
