The comparatively star-less Golden Bell Awards this year reminds me of how many famous Taiwanese actors and actresses from the golden idol drama days of the 2000s are rarely doing television work.

If one aims to generate OMG what is she wearing buzz then K-pop idol Sori just delivered because even I sat up and took note of her when prior to this I had no clue of her existence as one half of a girl duo called Cocosori.
