Jamie Chung – “Samurai Girl” on ABC Family

Jamie Chung is starring in tonight’s premiere of Samurai Girl on ABC, a different take on teen TV entertainment. This is a show based on the books of Carrie Asai. It is a three-part series that aims to stay away from proposals form Disney and Nickelodeon and serve a teen-mature audience.

Here’s a quick review of the show by the LA Times:

“Heaven Kogo (Jamie Chung), the adopted daughter of a rich and powerful Japanese family, has reluctantly agreed to an arranged marriage with the son of her father’s business partner, even as her beloved brother Hiko (Jack Yang) flees their luxurious but oppressive compound for San Francisco. As luck would have it, that is where the wedding takes place, until it is interrupted by ninjas, yes ninjas, that seem intent on kidnapping Heaven. In the melee, Heaven’s father is shot. When Hiko arrives to save her, he is killed, but not before passing on to her the family’s precious samurai sword.

Confused and frightened, Heaven decides she can trust no one but Hiko’s American friend, Jake Stanton (Brendan Fehr), except she doesn’t know where he lives. With her family’s bodyguards searching for her, Heaven crashes a party and befriends its hosts — the sharp but sympathetic Cheryl (Saige Thompson) and her computer geek roommate Otto (Kyle Labine). Otto locates Jake, who turns out to be a samurai himself.”

Jami Chung then will need to transform into “Samurai Girl”. This show is an attempt touse Japanese samurai and ninja culture and teen comedy/drama. I will take a look at these new series, let’s hope it brings something worth of value to television. What did you think about Samurai Girl?
