Pushing What? Daisies.....




I have always dreamed of possessing superpowers. I wish I could fly, throw fire ball, control thoughts, be invisible, have the speeding of lightning,... That is an endless list of my wishes. However, what if you were given a power of a touch, not just any touch, a touch of living and death. That is what the new, bizarre, amazing, breathtaking drama-"Pushing Daisies" talks about.


The drama starts when the main actor-Ned, discovers that he can bring dead people, animals, plants alive with just one touch. When he discovers his ability, he feels amazed. But, unbeknown to the consequences of using his power, he causes another death of another equivalent living things. There is a cost for using his power. (This reminds me of the anime-"Fullmetal Alchemist"). His power works on a equivalent trade, if he brings alive a person, another person has to die. Therefore, when he touches a dead person, that person will stay alive unless the second touch is applied. That is why he has the touch of living and death. He brings alive a person with the first touch, and kills the person forever with second touch. Apart from that, there is also a limit to his power, if he brought a dead person alive more that 1 minute, another living person would have to fill the dead person's place.






The storyline becomes more interesting when he brings alive his first and true love, "Chuck" a.k.a Charlotte. When Chuck and Emerson, they forms a detective group which Ned will bring alive the dead to get the information he needs to solve the case. Basically, this is what the drama is all about.



As you can see from the picture above, there is a group of interesting casts.
(scroll down for more info, technical problem)(^^)(Please forgive!)
























1) Ned
Played by Pace Lee: He really portraits the character well in a humorous way. Apart from that he also shows the sensitive side of a guy vividly. He loves his dog and Chuck, but, he can't touch them. What he can do is to feel the love from within. He just captures that feel very well.

2) Chuck a.k.a Charlotte
Played by Anna Friel: She is just dazzling in the drama even though her manly nickname-Chuck. She is charming and died as a lonely traveler. But, she meets the man she loves with all this years and he brought her to life again. Most of all, she is expressive and interesting. She can speak I-don't-know how many languages. Her smile can kill a person and all the clothes in the show are amazingly colourful.She just gives me a witchy feel in the show.

3)Olive
Played by Kristin Chenoweth. She is madly in love with Ned. But, Ned has his heart for another person, you know who. But, she does not give up. She is going to fight till the end even though she loses the battles since day one. By the way , she can really sing.
4)Emerson
Played by Chi McBride. He is a little greedy but, loves to knit. Weird, but, amusing!!!
5)Narrator
Voiced by Jim Dale. He always reminds people how many years,months, weeks,days, hours, minutes, seconds, they live. Well, roughly, I am (19 years old, 7 months, 1 week, 1 day, 8 hours, 40 mins, 40 secs) , sitting in front of the computer, writing this post.


With all the information that I am giving, you know that I am crazy of "Pushing Daisies". I love it because it is just a simple love story with a really unexpected twist. The story of each episode is also very unique in its own way, just giving the feel of real fairytale.

I love the narrator of the show, giving me a sense of exquisite story-telling skills. In "Pushing Daisies", you can find true love. Even though they can't touch, they are love each other. That is true love. After watching the show, there is a sense of sweetness of love...................I don't why but, maybe the colour of the show just gives everybody a new fresh life. I feel every single ingredient in the show - love, hate, desperate,...

P.S: The theme song is very niceeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! But, I can't find it. So, anybody knows where to find it. Please tell me!(^^)

Here are the few moments that I love about this show:

Chasing the stars....."Heart of Great" a.k.a 《溏心风暴》

Well , I am glad to say that I have the chance to meet the famous Hong Kong stars in person. It was just a brief moment for meeting them, but a long moment for waiting them. But, at the end, I was glad that I went for it.

The reasons? I had the opportunities to almost becoming a can of sardine, to experience human-heat-generated sauna, to lose weight in hours only, to shout my lung out for their names, and to meet them in person in about 10 feet away. Sounds kind of silly? But, it was worth it because I had fun.

Today, Ipoh Parade was really crowded thanked to the casts of "Heart of Greed" a.k.a 《溏心风暴》. Kok Leong and I went there about 2pm, but, at that time, the place was already packed. We would have to squeeze in. After securing our spot, we waited there for ages. In the mist of waiting, we were feeling extremely hot and occupied. Hahaha, it was like we were in a can of sardine. But, we did not give up that easily just like we conquered the mountain.(exaggerating). Well, you all should see the crowd. If you were there, you would know I mean. Better I show some pictures, "picture speaks the thousand words." they said.


People were not just on the ground, they were everywhere.




Even the escalator was filled with people.



Can you see the hands in front of me? I had to struggle to take pictures, by the way, nice handphones.



After waiting for an hour or so, people were getting agitated. Some of them were leaving. We moved our position to a little front. Due to the long hours of waiting, a lot of people were not pleased. Well, the organizers thought of that and acutally, arranged some performances for the audience. First, there were the Golden Melodies winners performing some classical songs, they were very good. Then, there were the Astro Talent contestents performing some modern pop songs. They were not bad either. Their performances were about 1 hour again.







Finally, the long wait was over. They were here -Louise Lee(李司棋),Moses Chan( 陈豪),Tavia Yeung( 杨怡),and last but not least, Linda Chung(钟嘉欣) {P.S: it was not easy to find their English name}



I was surprised to see them all looked so slim and fit. Maybe, the dimension of television really can make somebody look fat.




This was quite a shock to me because she looked so pretty in person until I did not recognize her. Not that in drama, she was not pretty or what, but she seemed so different in person.



Of course, Tavia were dazzling with smiles. She was quite friendly. As for Mose, the tall guy was humorous and charming at the same time( He even impersonate Tavia's voice, hahaha)




Last, of course, not least, the main character - Big Godmum(大契), was looking her best. Well, a little secret to share, actually, ten years ago, I took a picture with her while she was filming a famous Hong Kong Drama- The longest drama in Hong Kong history. She did not change much compared to now.


Game time. But, nothing for me.


At the end of the day, I would say chasing stars are worth it. Even virtually, they are untouchable, I still could feel their warm light from within. Oh, wait~or it was just the stuffy surrounding. Haha, just kidding, definitely, I had a lot of fun seeing and chasing the stars today.
