While I am satisfied seeing Lego Lee in stills, nothing beats seeing him in action moving onscreen. With the purported movie version of In a Good Way still in the works, Lego hasn’t accepted any new acting projects likely to keep the opening in his schedule. Luckily he’s also a singer and has plenty of friends in the singing world so this month he’s the leading man in good friend Mandopop songstress Claire Guo‘s first single off her latest album. The album has an English title of Until We Meet which is hilariously a totally G-rated translation of the Chinese title of 豔遇 which means Sexual Encounter. Way to go album translation team! The first single off the album is the track “Instant Lover” (即溶愛人) and is a latin-y piece that has her dancing her way to seducing Lego.

I found Claire’s sexy routine more funny than seductive, which doesn’t bode well for her transitioning from a girl-next-door image to a more mature sultry style. Lego is totally dressed like a colorful pimp which renders the attempted seduction even more unintentionally funny. I suppose conjuring up an instant lover is likely most men’s secret wish so this song clearly has its built in audience. Claire is getting a reputation as the go-to girl for drama tracks as many of her songs end up on drama OSTs. Her track “With Tenderness” was the opening theme for my favorite TW-drama of all time Sunny Happiness and I still don’t get tired of listening to it. On a personal life update, Lego was recently out at the karaoke with a bunch of TW-singers including Aaron Yan and the picture the boys posted got all their fans in a tizzy because a pack of smokes was spotting on the table. Oh fans, don’t you know your oppas just might not be as clean living as image entails? Continue reading →
