Seriously, if these two people got any cuter as a couple I might actually fursplode into a real Koala simply by staring at them, the way Jacob goes all wolfy in the novels-which-shant-be-named. Rainie Yang and Joseph Chang attended a Drunken to Love You fan meeting at Taipei’s Mitsukoshi department store this weekend, showing up wearing a couple’s outfit, which they claimed to have completely not coordinated at all.

I actually believe them, because I never once think they are dating in real life, plus Joseph has a long-time girlfriend of over five years. It’s just adorable to ship them as Jie Xiu and Xiao Ru. Yen J‘s album dropped over the weekend, so I’m also bringing you the download link for the second song from his album which shows up in the DTLY OST called “It’s not like this will take away the loneliness” 又不是這樣就不孤獨.  Continue reading →

Hwang Jung Eum Channels a Nerdy Student for Elle Girl Magazine

I seriously must applaud Hwang Jung Eum‘s courage – for not only stepping out in public wearing the outfits she was saddled with by May’s Elle Girl magazine, but working the fascinatingly bizarre get-ups and being photographed in it for posterity. The fashionista in me cringed when I saw these pictures (a nightmare from head-to-toe), but the nerd in me squealed with delight at the homage to Smurfette, Lucy, and Snoopy. The concept must be Lolita-meets-Comic-Book-Guy. Continue reading →

Joe Cheng Pairs up with Lin Chi Ling for Elle China Magazine

Simply gorgeous. Elle China magazine paired up Joe Cheng and top-model-trying-to-be-an actress Lin Chi Ling for a Spring photoshoot, and the result was high fashion magic. I’ve come to the realization that Joe vacillates between great performances and crap performances, but his model-beginnings never fail him. Between Joe, Mike He, and Ethan Ruan, I think Joe vogues the best.

As for Chi Ling, she is undoubtedly the perfect print model, always connecting with the camera. But she cannot extend snapshot connections to moving performances, which is why her acting is nails-on-a-chalkboard horrific for me to watch. Regardless, love them in this photoshoot together.

I posted about the upcoming SBS sageuk Tree with Deep Roots (Deeply Rooted Tree) here back in March when Jang Hyuk and Han Suk Kyu were cast as the leads, respectively playing a court investigator and King Sejong. The drama is scheduled for a September Wed-Thurs slot, and is getting a nice head start on casting and pre-production. Shin Se Kyung has just been confirmed as the leading lady, making this her first starring role in a primetime drama (High Kick Through the Roof was a daily sitcom). Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 6 of Drunken to Love You

Knowing how hard and how intensely Jie Xiu and Xiao Ru loved Avril and Yi Xian, respectively, it makes my toes curl when I consider how deeply they will fall in love each other. And what’s even better is that they realize how special the other person is because they’ve been through the crap pile of love that Avril and Yi Xian heaped on them. TW-dramas tend to have one or both leads not appreciate the other until it’s too late. But here it’s the reverse – they appreciate each other first before falling in love, thereby making their love so much stronger and real. Continue reading →

Wu Zun in the Pages of the May Edition of Esquire Hong Kong Magazine

Dayum boy, you are getting finer by the day. Wu Zun graced the pages of May’s Esquire HK magazine, and I’m not even going to bother translating the article, because my boy Zun isn’t exactly known for his, uh, deep thoughts. What he is known for (to-die-for cheekbones, patrician features, and the ability to be the prettiest man in any room), he appears to have improved on. How that can be done, I frankly have no clue. All I know is I almost went cross-eyed for a moment looking at these pictures. It was all little too much sensory overload. Continue reading →
