Yeah, that’s the very look on my face when I think about/watch Rich Man, Poor Woman. All good things must come to an end, and with the release of the final long preview for RMPW (complete with the words “LAST EPISODE” flashing before my eyes) I know it’s time to gather up my scattered thoughts and affection for this drama … Continue reading →
Rich Man, Poor Woman is trying its best to drive me insane. When it’s good, it’s ridiculously good. When it wants to be frustrating, it can be so damn frustrating I want to pull my hair out. Which is not good, because I like my hair and a bald Koala would frighten young children. Episode 10 was interesting, and I … Continue reading →
Episode 6 of Miss Rose felt rather like a transition episode. I’ve just been so swamped and mentally fried the recap was parked somewhere in my brain for longer than usual, but watching it later again confirmed the episode had tons of sweetness and great plot reveals. I think it’s pointless to look too deeply into TW-dramas, the best ones … Continue reading →
Much as I loathe to be the etiquette police, I’ll probably end up doing it every few months anyways despite always hoping I didn’t have to. I’ve seen my preview translations and other Rich Man, Poor Woman stuff being lifted wholesale and reposted elsewhere without ever asking me. That’s a big no-no in bloggyland, and I would hate to lock … Continue reading →
Arang and the Magistrate is really a pleasure to watch from a fresh creative standpoint. It’s not groundbreaking but really transports the viewer into a world that doesn’t feel like a stale retread of many folk tales and ghost stories of yore, even if a closer look reveals that it does liberally borrow from many other such supernatural tales of … Continue reading →
He’s here! Hahaha, I just realized I made the arrival on the scene of Miss Rose of Si Yi’s ex-boyfriend seem like a demon possession of some sort. I’ve noticed this happens not infrequently in TW-dramas for a second lead character to show up well into the drama run, like James Wen did in My Queen, or the rotating cast … Continue reading →
Oh gosh, the second teaser for Nice Guy makes me salivate for this drama like you won’t believe. I think melodramas have gotten a bad rep in recent years because the plot devices used to generate the melo and the dramatic have been increasingly ridiculous and far-fetched. It wasn’t always so, and perhaps my favorite melo of all time What … Continue reading →
I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but I’m sorta okay with Asahina pushing Hyuga out of Next Innovation. Hyuga is not measured by what he has achieved or accumulated in terms of success or wealth, but by his desire to innovate and create. This is a man who would have no problem doing it all over again, … Continue reading →
Excuse me while I spazz – wet Roy Qiu = fanning myself and hopping up and down like an epileptic rabbit. Clearly that picture above just short circuited my brain, but once I regained my sanity, I realized that the written preview for episode 5 of Miss Rose is like drama rom-com crack made just for me. Vivian the bitchy … Continue reading →
Despite being exceedingly annoyed with the pointless and meandering episode 6 of Rich Man, Poor Woman, the lack of recapping isn’t because I’ve dropped this drama. I’m traveling so I really have no time, but I was hoping episode 7 would turn this train back on track. To my everlasting joy, it did! Oh hurray hallelujah, I love episode 7 … Continue reading →
I feel like every post of mine about Miss Rose is me talking to myself, since pretty much no one else is watching it since its not being subbed. Oh well, I do enjoy sharing secret little pleasures of mine with other drama lovers, though the inability to have flailing discussions for how much awesome this drama is does dampen … Continue reading →
I almost wanted to rage/quit Rich Man, Poor Woman this week. That is how much episode 6 pissed me off royally. But then I calmed myself back down and took out my frustrations on the screenwriter rather than the drama itself which I still love. Episode 6 felt like a super long filler episode with enough story for 10 minutes … Continue reading →
When I watch Miss Rose, my mind keeps humming the oldie tune “Rose, Rose, I Love You” and then bopping up and down on my toes. It’s weird how the excitement can ratchet up several notches the moment the proverbial switch flips in drama watching. I love this feeling, because once I’m emotionally connected with the story, it triggers my … Continue reading →
