"Mars" changes them into professionals

Da S breaks vase, ZZ drops his masculineness
If your impressions of ZZ and Da S are still stuck in the "Meteor Garden" era, then you should watch "Mars." If you fantasize about racing, about aesthetic love, then you should watch "Mars." If you have always dislilked Taiwan's idol dramas, then you should watch "Mars." The idol drama "Mars" starring Vic Chou and Barbie Hsu is now broadcasting on Hua Yu Wei Shi. Lately there have been a lot of discussion regarding the two leads and "Mars" on various entertainment sites. Everyone unanimously said that ZZ and Da S finally broke the "vase" image. They've officially grown into professional actors from youthful idols.
Da S did her best to portray a girl who has been abused
Several years ago when "Meteor Garden" broadcasted, even though Da S' acting was a bit faulty, she was the only female lead of the drama so it's only natural that she shot to fame. Because success came too easily, Da S didn't show any obvious improvements in her later works. She suffered criticism from the media and spectators. Even when filming "A Chinese Ghost Story" she was said to be the ancient version of San Cai. Not being able to do as well as Wang Zu Xian, she destroyed the cold, beautiful and enchanting image of Xiao Qian in spectators' hearts. Afterwards Da S was quiet for a time. She hosted and acted as usual. It wasn't until her book "Cosmetic Queen" when people started to pay attention to her again. Just when the outside world thought that Da S was going to become an author, she brings a whole new idol drama work, "Mars." Her performance in the drama had won praises once again. This time she wasn't complacent because of the role.
Da S' performance in "Mars" gave audiences a big surprise. She portrayed a girl who was wounded physically and mentally, a girl who used the pencil in her hand to express her most delicate, pure voice. The girl's mental and physical injuries never healed. Facing Ling, Qi Luo couldn't avoid confronting this tragedy. Da S muttered to someone that her tears fell like a broken string of pearls and ultimately let out a "I hate men" cry. Spectators couldn't help but clutch their hearts because of this inexpressible pain. Da S's preformance was full of power. Her hysteria was a natural outlet and not an on-the-surface idol drama performance. To portray her role better she no longer cared about whether or not she was shot beautifully.
Da S put a lot of thought into "Mars." Under the instructions of the director she wrote in a diary everyday, to create fake "rape" memories. Perhaps this hypnotized her so when she was acting she did well. If you say that she benefited from her successful role as San Cai, then today's moving Qi Luo is Da S' acting sediment after sublimating, less insolent and more maturity. Da S has finally took off her beautiful idol clothes and become a real actress. She used strength, not luck, to add points to her career.
ZZ seems reckless on the outside but is weak on the inside
All along F4 had a contradicting image. Millions of teenage girls admire them. Millions of adults also laugh at them because they think the 4 of them are nothing but a pretty face. ZZ Vic Chou became the target of the mass because his album sales obviously dropped and his deficiency in school. In "Mars" ZZ portrays 2 roles. One is an introvert who loves to draw while the other one is an extrovert and love to race. To the originally introvert and slow ZZ, this is undoubtedly a challenge. In the drama ZZ is known as a "walking sex organ." His agitating behavior covers his inner weakness. At first the shy ZZ had a hard to grasping this "wastrel" feeling, but his efforts paid off and he finally accomplished the requests of the director. What's also worth mentioning is rectified his pronunciation problem that he's been teased about for the past few years.
Psychopathologic, likes to race and act ruthless. ZZ is not longer the well-behaved baby in "Meteor Garden." Already 24 years of age, his performance is stronger and less bashful. To interpret the role better ZZ personally did many of the dangerous scenes in the drama. Just a scene where he jumps off a building took 10 hours to film. In the drama ZZ is a "wastrel." He had many intimate scenes with Da S. Some worried that rumors would spread because of this but Da S and ZZ were both at ease. "ZZ and I have this inexplainable tacit understanding between each other. Privately he calls me jie jie (bigger sister) and I call him di di (younger brother). We get along really well. I am very happy when working with him." ZZ said that there are differences between the character he played with the original author's character. The original character kisses someone at every move. He however doesn't dare do something like that.
