KO.ONE (終極一班)

Hello people again :] Yes, i have been really short on reviews. I have really a hard time catching up on anime and other shows. however, i have been watching a lot of movies lately :D Since, tomorrow is the start of a new term for school, i shall do a last review during the holiday before school starts. Today i am going to do a review on a taiwanese drama. This is going to be the first taiwanese drama review that i have done. However, since this is a taiwanese drama, i am translating a lot of chinese words into english. So bear with me the horrible english. This drama is ''KO.ONE'' or 終極一班 in chinese. It has been released a very long time ago. Probably a few years back. It has 32 episodes in total. Quite long i should say. Fahrenheit is casting in the show too :D Judging from the name, you probably have no idea what is it about. I can only say is about highschool life with a bit of fantasy.



There is a class call zhong ji yi ban ( 終極一班 ) in ba le highschool that is established specially for delinquents and rejects that no school would even dare to accept. Despite this, everyone in the class are still very loyal to their leader, wang da dong who is KO.3 on the ranking. Not long later, another KO.3 , ya se wang and ding xiao yu a KO.4 who nobody knows about his identity join the class. While ya se wang proclaims that he want to challenge da dong over the position of the leader of the class. Just when they wanted to fight, they heard the melody played by ding xiao yu, they all lost the motivation to fight. After that through some turn of events, ya se wang and da dong became brothers. Not long later, when ya se wang and da dong are in trouble, they were saved by ding xiao yu. They then learned the identity of ding xiao yu who they decided to become brothers. Afterwards, ya se, da dong and xiao yu then became brothers where they will go through a lot of things that would change their lives forever.



If i am not wrong, this is the first drama that fahrenheit has acted. Despite this, i think they have acted pretty well for first timers even though their acting are not that great. well i think i will start with the bad stuff first.

1.This story is basically about delinquents, So one should have been expecting fighting , fist to fist , kicks and all the action. But there is not really much fightings throughout the show.

2.The fighting are pretty lame with no real life context. What i mean is that they are just throwing blast at each other like those attacks in digivices. There is no really hand to hand combat.

3.The story is pretty draggy with too much talkings so it can be kind of boring at times.

Even though i have said all these, it does have its good points.

1.There are really a lot of funny scenes that can really sent you laughing all day long.

2.The actors really suits their roles in the story. Which means that their appearance really bring up the characters to its maximum

3.They have really cool weapons such as swords, cooking pan with cool designs, whip, axe... Well not like those common weapons that delinquent uses such as knives and rod. So i should say, it is quite creative.

4.I should say it has a really solid plot and unpredictable story which is good. If the story is too predictable, it would not be nice anymore.



My ratings for this drama is 7/10. Okay, even though the ratings do not seem appealing but thats my own opinion. So if you watch it yourself, your opinions might differ from mine. Further more, i still think the show is worth to watch. This show may appeal more to the girls due to fahrenheit casting in the show. Even as a guy, i do admit they look really nice. you know with the cool hairstyles and stuff. Their characters do not really bored you. For people who likes cold jokes and funny stuffs, this show would definitely satisfied you. Well for people who cannot stand lame stuffs, this show might just change your thinking :DD



Well, the drama has many nice songs sang by fahrenheit and tank.

1.終極一班 by tank (opening)
2.給我你的愛 by tank (Ending)
3.保護色 by su yi cheng (insert)
4.孤單心事 by lan you shi (insert)

This are not all the songs in the drama but just some of my favourites songs. People who like fast and songs that gives you a lot of feelings, these songs are the ones for you. So for people who are not chinese, i am so sorry!!!
