I've finally finished watching "KO One", in just three days. Even I myself find it surprising, as it actually took me over 2 years to finish "Tales From Qinhuai River" (Taiwanese opera drama serial "Qin Huai Yan Yu" by Ye Qing)! To be honest, I'm more into Chinese opera than Taiwanese drama serial, so what made me more enthusiastic in them? I believe, it's the "fun" factor. Taiwanese drama serials sometimes have rather cute and interesting storylines which makes you want to find out what they have to offer in the upcoming episodes. Chinese opera, although has more captivating charm to me, sometimes just work out the same way. I guess, one has to be really focused when watching Chinese opera!
Anyway, "KO One" is quite an interesting show, although in terms of humour and plot, it still doesn't match up to "Hana Kimi" or "It Start With A Kiss". The general storyline tells about how a bunch of problematic high school teenagers who are equipped with supernatural capabilities got drawn into the world of Dark Forces, and how they lead their entire class into subduing the Evil One. Well, my synopsis may not be accurate, because this show's quite hard to summarise; just imagine a drama with a bit of arcade and RPG gaming and slapstick comedy essence in it! There were, of course, some inperfect parts of the show, including awkward exit and entrance of various minor roles. For example, the role of Tian Xin, the form teacher of this class who was being targetted as the next potential fighter by the Evil One, did not appear on screen again after she was being kept away in a secret place, nor was it mentioned anywhere what happened to her subsequently. Also, the fate of several other key roles who were abducted by the Evil One were not mentioned either by the time the show ended. Could this be a hint that the producers might be planning a sequel to this show? It's hard to say!
Anyway, some trivias about this show:

Anyway, some trivias about this show:
- What's the similarities between "KO One", "ISWAK" and "Hana Kimi"? They're all shows produced by GTV, and featured Jiro either as first or second male lead.
- All 4 members of Fahrenheit took part in the show, but Chun only took on a non-speaking cameo role, appeared briefly in various episodes and only get to speak 4 lines in the final few minutes of the last episode.
- There are many celebrity cameos in the show, including Jiu Kong, Xie Lijin and Xiao Gui.
- Cai Yizhen and Chen Zhenwei's on-screen character names "Wu Xiong" and "Fu Tou" became their artiste names respectively after this show. Even Jiro's nickname "Da Dong" came from this show.
- Other than Jiro, Tang Yuzhe (Lei Ke Si), Zhang Haoming (Jin Baosan), Chord (Sha Yu) and Gong Ji'an (Ji An) took part in "Hana Kimi" as well.
Overall, this show is nice, if all you want is entertainment and humour. Afterall, this is more of a show targetting at making audience laugh, and not think seriously about!
