Guh, how come I’m just finding out now that Park Shi Hoo presented with Moon Chae Won at the Blue Dragon Film Awards two weeks ago? I literally gasped out loud and had to shield my eyes from the pretty. This reunion of The Princess’s Man OTP is both thrilling and incongruous, since the last I saw of them was … Continue reading →
How can they be SOOOOO cute together? Why does my heart do flip flops of happiness anytime my Dream High perfect perfect OTP of Kim Soo Hyun and Suzy are reunited? But forget about me, just look at her grinning like a doofus at him! If Suzy hasn’t admitted already that she has a crush on her Soo Hyun oppa, … Continue reading →
Forget the universe-aligning perfect casting trio of Park Shin Hye, Yoon Si Yoon, and Kim Ji Hoon in the upcoming cable network tvN drama Flower Boy Next Door. That is already so awesome every post I’ve written about it has devolved into fangirling screeching that I confess to being the instigator of. What? Like y’all aren’t having tons of fun … Continue reading →
The Golden Horse Awards, Taiwan’s Oscars, was held last week and there were some upsets as well as some expected victories. I didn’t watch most of the movies nominated since I barely have time for dramas much less movies. One of Taiwan’s most acclaimed movies of 2012 was Gf*Bf (Chinese title Girlfriend, Boyfriend) starring Gwui Lun Mei, Joseph Chang, and … Continue reading →
Congrats are in order for the cast and crew of In Time With You! The 47th Annual Golden Bell Awards was held in Taipei on Friday night, the Taiwan equivalent of the Emmy’s, and to no one’s surprise the most nominated drama of the night walked away with the most awards. ITWY took home 7 out of its 8 nominations, … Continue reading →
It’s fashion time, baby! Despite finding awards shows completely inaccurate in predicting quality, I enjoy it solely for the pretty. It’s a chance for stars to dress up and be unashamed of their extraordinary natural or enhanced prettiness and just be as superficially pretty as possible. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. This week the 2012 Busan International Film Festival kicked off … Continue reading →
The best TW-drama of the Oct 2011-Oct 2012 season has been validated by In Time With You sweeping through all the major categories at the just announced nominations for this year’s Golden Bell Awards (Taiwan’s Emmy’s). Already a Golden Bell best actress winner for It Started with a Kiss 2, Ariel Lin continues her dominance at this award ceremony by … Continue reading →
Before she rocketed to stardom with Office Girls, Alice Ke was actually a bona fide budding movie star in Taiwan. Much like Joseph Chang was before he became a household name after Drunken to Love You. Both have that indie cred behind them, with their drama success really the icing on the cake to their already well established film careers. … Continue reading →
I wouldn’t be surprised if Yoon Eun Hye picks a HK movie as her next project. She attended this past weekend’s 6th annual Asia Film Awards and presented an award with veteran HK superstar Andy Lau. When asked by the local press, she revealed that she would love a chance to work with a HK director. I guess it all … Continue reading →
Ahhh, I totally miss Jae Hee, Yoon Si Yoon‘s character from his last drama Me Too, Flower! While the drama was much better than expected, but fell victim to a splotchy second half, I loved every minute of Yoon Si Yoon’s performance as the wounded and valiently trying to survive self-made chaebol who longs for sincere human connection. The drama … Continue reading →
Taiwan’s most prestigious awards show came and went, and thankfully the results caused no sputtering outrage and mud flinging the way the Golden Bells did last month. Last night’s Golden Horse Awards was a rather muted affair, with some viewers not terribly impressed with the star quality of the nominees and attendees compared to other years. The biggest nomination winner … Continue reading →
So I noticed Weibo going insane today with Bu Bu Jing Xin chatter, and I figured it was because of the recent Sohu Television Awards celebrating Chinese television’s hits for the recent Fall season. Turns out some of it was that, but mostly because Tangren‘s ladyboss said during the awards ceremony that the company was planning a sequel to BBJX!?! … Continue reading →
Oh Golden Bells, I blame this whole debacle on you and your non-transparent, toady, and nepotistic voting shenanigans. Newly crowned Best Actor winner Wilbur Pan, who missed the awards ceremony due to a prior engagement in China he didn’t reschedule because he figured hell would freeze over before he would win, returned to Taiwan today and held a celebratory press … Continue reading →
