Sunshine Angel to Premiere on TTV Next Week and Wu Zun Attends the Press Conference Solo

The TW-drama airings are really driving me insane. I just wrote that Sunshine Angel will be following Drunken to Love You in September on TTV, but suddenly it’s announced that SA will premiere next week on August 4th. Buh? With zero promotion and fanfare, TTV is just dumping SA in a Thursday night time slot. I don’t understand. This drama is cute, and likely Wu Zun‘s last idol drama. And with Rainie Yang so hot right now, why not give it some more attention.

Wu Zun made a whirlwind trip to Taiwan to attend the press conference for SA by himself, since leading lady Rainie Yang did not show up with the reason attributed to a scheduling conflict. Supposedly Rainie and Zun had a falling out since she heard the rumors that he might have been married when they filmed SA, because apparently she had a crush on him back then. Don’t shoot the messenger, just reporting what the media is speculating. The fact that Rainie is showing up with Joseph everywhere and can’t do one press conference with Zun for SA is indeed odd if you ask me.

Wu Zun looks amazing in these pictures. Can you believe he’s one of the oldest of the TW-idols, with only Jerry Yan older than him. It’s astonishing, Zun is four years older than Mike He and Joseph Chang, and two years older than Ming Dao and Vic Zhou. I know, it’s like he’s hit the fountain of youth. Or as I like to believe, he’s really content and happy with his life, and that gives him the ageless glow. I can seriously just stare at him all day long.

Anyways, the China and Taiwan production partners for SA had a huge falling out (and potential lawsuit forthcoming) earlier this month when Hunan network aired SA without getting the consent of the Taiwan partners. And the Hunan airing butchered the drama by cutting almost 30% of the scenes so the result really didn’t made much sense. I stopped watching because of that, and was waiting to watch the TW-airing. I’ll definitely be watching SA again to enjoy it properly this time.

  • I've always wondered what Zun's popularity would be if he had Calvin Chen's looks. You know, the same background, the same personality but a different, less attractive look... Since he's seriously lacking in the talent department, would he even be popular?
    I love staring at this guy (like you, I could spend hours just looking at him), but I can't stand watching him act (I'm glad he decided to stick to acting, though, since his singing is even worse than his acting). I know he tries hard, but he's just no good. It kinda annoys me that he gets so many opportunities when there's a lot more talented people who don't even get a chance to shine. This was random. Sorry.

    Anyway, I have a feeling that the lack of promotion for this drama and its time slot has something to do with GTV still being pissed with Zun. Too bad Rainie has to be dragged to the mess he created alone...

    • I totally agree with you, this guy can't act...I don't watch a drama just for looks..my tasks are far beyond that...It's so painful seeing him try to act...what a waste of screen time. Not everyone is catering to his schedule..OKAY!

    • No, the timing is because Hunan TV jumped the gun and aired Sunshine Angel in China without consulting with the Taiwan broadcasters, so Taiwan has to rush the airing or else the drama is toast if the China DVDs start trickling out. The SA mess is a dispute between production partners, completely unrelated to its stars or anything else going on behind the scenes.

      GTV may be pissed at Zun for dropping Absolute Darling, but SA is airing on TTV who makes the scheduling decisions, and Thursday is the first slot opening up. I still hate the lack of promotion, because they are basically allowing it to get buried.

    • "It kinda annoys me that he gets so many opportunities when there’s a lot more talented people who don’t even get a chance to shine."

      I really agree with this, personally, I'm a business student, and I have to say professionally, he should not have gotten as many opportunities as he got. if i were his boss, I would say he has seriously gotten an attitude problem. Fahrenheit's rumor mill mostly revolve around his problems with each of the other members. and with him leaving Fahrenheit and Absolute Boyfriend out to dry, and making Jiro and his other band mates shoulder all his blame, I have gone from loving the guy to kind of hate him. it's just a professional thing I have with contracts, and loyalties to your business partners, I know boy bands do not stay together for long, but with the other three's contract up in just a year, it really bugs me he just up and left, when he could've stuck with it for another year and disband properly.

      he's like almost 32 now, and he really look like he has bathed in the fountain of youth, and God bless him for able to ride on his good looks now, he is seriously getting on in age (and marriage rumors). can't say he can sing any more than he can act, point for trying, but without Fahrenheit, please, please don't sing ever again. I can't stop you acting, but from every single MV's behind the scenes i've seen, he can't actually sing or play drums (his drums are so bad they don't even bother hiding it anymore, they can't).

      and I find it really ironic because GTV had gotten him back into dramas to boost their rating, and now they're just trying to get it out of the way as fast as possible...

  • What I like about Wu Chun is that he's so gentle but has the muscle power to balance. I like his attitude, hard to say, but people are more sexy, lovable when they don't seem to know they are awesome. It's like he doesn't know how attractive he is. Where as some others, they are pretty cool, but they act like they are #1, and that decreases their points.

  • Man, is he good-looking! Wow! I guess I would be pissed too if I spent an entire movie shoot flirting with a hot guy I thought was single, only to find out later he was happily married with children! Ackward!!!

    • And I am wondering where you got this statistic.

      And further wondering what's the point of your comment to begin with.

      • If Zun's pictures look middle-aged to you, why would that lead to you saying his fan base are all middle-aged women?

        I'm not getting the correlation, either linear or extrapolated.

      • You mean the ladies surrounding him? Sure, they look their age, whatever it may be.

        But again, those handful of ladies in one picture does not ALL his fans being middle-aged make. But clearly that is something you are seeking to point out. So, uhm, okay, he's got middle-aged fans sitting next to him in one picture. :-D

        Yay for Zun, cuz those ladies logically would have more spending power than a bevy of teenage fans combined.

      • well I'm glad there are middle aged women who like him. He appeals to all ages of women and not just stuck with a certain teen group. And that helps because then he's not stuck doing only teen idol dramas.

      • I REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT LOOKS shucks have you ever had someone when you hear his voice it's like you hear their soul crying out to you, Aaron makes feel that way when he sings and it makes me feel ageless it's like I'm floating, all my worries are gone and my world starts to be so light I'd probably sleep soundly in his arms :-D MINCHIN MINCHIN MINCHIN!!!! Wu Chun seems contended....I want him to be happy, I don't ever want to see him skinny and miserable....CHUN please be happy it breaks my heart to see you miserable :-(

      • Yes, Chun's fans are mostly mature since I guess they followed Chun for long time, Chun seems to be a very mature person compare to other idols too so his fans should be like him. Having majority of fans are not teen agers are good too, they would spend money and effort to support him and his works.

  • He's hot! lol I'm still wondering though if the rumor about him being married is true. I hope they'll just admit the truth. Yes they'll break lots hearts out there but like me, I will still be happy for him & will wish him the best. He's getting old already so he should settle down & start a family. I can't wait to see cute little wu zuns!! ;)

    • LOL! yeah you're right about "those ladies logically would have more spending power than a bevy of teenage fans combined"..these middle-aged women have money to pay for the membership to his private website so they can hear him whisper "good night" to them almost every night...LMAO!

      • Just wondering if that's a serious statement?
        Does he really have a private website? :) *purely curious here*

        I'm part of Rain's fans club, and the fans that I knew are ranged from primary schoolers to grannies...
        But the one that I met personally in his world tour on various countries are generally 25+ yo - and mostly are "middle age women"... most of the Japanese fans that I knew are grandmothers.. and I know for sure they are not people with so much free time, but busy career women, succesful ones, and of course that's where the spending power from too. You can't travel to several countries every weekend without it :)

        So I agree with Koala, one picture with the fans can't justify the range of fans age, unless you do have the statistics ^^

  • The fact that Rainie is showing up with Joseph everywhere and can’t do one press conference with Zun for SA is indeed odd if you ask me.
    Agreed. It would be petty, though. :/

    Haven't seen him act nor hear him sing but he sure does look attractive AND way younger than his actual age. Can't believe he's older than Joseph Chang - my current TW flavor of the month. ^^

    • Nah, Rainie was in Tainan for an autograph session for her new album on the same day. I think TTV screwed her over with their scheduling the press conference for SA at such a last minute. It's okay though, Rainie is all over the media these days for various reasons, so fans who like her will hopefully tune into SA regardless of whether she attended the press conference.

  • Hehe... I didn't realize that he's even older than I am. :) He debuted late so I always thought of him as younger - like the rest of his former group mates. But oh yeah, he looks really young. And with an infant (if rumors are true), that's just super incredible!! :)

    I'm not one of his fans but I think he has that star appeal and I hope it all works out the way that he wants :) Too bad that this drama is kinda getting the shaft but I can understand why TTV has to do that... once the DVD comes out, the ratings are going to be lower in TW. It's just all sucky all around when something like that happens in post-production. I am looking forward to watching this as I think it will be really cute :)

    BTW - to the poster Jen :) I can see what you are saying, although, it doesn't really matter what his fan base is like --- are younger fans better than older ones? Older ones have money LOL :) I think he has a pretty well rounded fan base. Plus younger fans grow up and change their tastes fast and he's getting away from idol stuff so it makes sense. Good luck Chunnie!

  • As much as Zun's career is likely going to become a trainwreck from this point on (according to how the media's taking the news), I definitely want to watch Sunshine Angel (even with his not-so-impressive acting skills) because Zun is effing gorgeous! And I'm dying to see Rainie's chemistry with Zun since the media is speculating that she had this big crush on him...

    If he is married, it's kinda sad coz then he's no bachelor anymore but at the same time, the thought of him holding his little girl makes me gush... I love him either way...

    • "And I’m dying to see Rainie’s chemistry with Zun since the media is speculating that she had this big crush on him…"

      I think she had big crush on all of her male co-stars but most of her dramas are suck becaust it has with no substance just hype.
