The existence of these two is why I continue to dip a toe into C-dramas even when the vast vast majority of its output is pure unadulterated crap. It’s not even addicting bad crap, it’s boring nonsensical crap. But seeing the newest and hottest onscreen C-couple flit around talk shows and leap off the screen at me as I watch … Continue reading →
It’s hard to believe that in Rainie Yang‘s twelve years in the TW-acting industry she hasn’t done a single period drama. Most if not all her compatriots have tackled wuxia and period dramas and movies aplenty during their career, almost always doing a C-drama or a HK-movie. Rainie did have a wuxia fantasy sequence to start Sunshine Angel, her rom-com … Continue reading →
With King Flower being one of the lowest rated SETTV Sunday night dramas in recent memory (thought its not as bad as Miss Rose or Love Forward and those garnered higher ratings), SETTV must be thrilled its follow up drama is sure to rake back in the viewers. Starring the hottest Taiwanese drama couple du jour George Hu and Annie … Continue reading →
I have no idea why I’m even following along with Fabulous Boys, the Taiwanese remake of the Hong Sisters cracktastic K-drama You’re Beautiful. The original wasn’t a drama I loved wholeheartedly though I was crazy addicted when it initially aired, along with a good chunk of the online drama viewing world. The Japanese remake Ikemen desu ne was actually not … Continue reading →
Being addicted to Terry King Flower is so frustrating because it’s like trying to train a beloved puppy to shake hands. You keep pointing to the paw and saying shake, and sometimes the pooch wags his tail, other times it cocks the head, and sometimes it licks your face. That all good and cute, really very very cute, but that’s … Continue reading →
Hhhhmmmm, this is not bad, not bad at all. After all the starts and stops, rumors and de-bunked rumors, slings and arrows, the sequel to Bu Bu Jing Xin started filming over two months ago and is heading towards the tail end of its shoot. There have been tons of BTS leaks in the last few months but not much … Continue reading →
Big Flower alert! I need extra eyes on this one, so heeeeeelp me chingus. Filming wrapped on King Flower yesterday for leads James Wen, Nikki Hsieh, along with secondary leads Yao Yao and MC40. James posted the above picture celebrating the wrap of filming with some genuine happy posing. From the backdrop it looks like this scene was shot by … Continue reading →
It is a thing of beauty to watch a truly breakout performance. It’s an even greater thing of beauty to watch the breakout performance come in the form of an astonishingly gorgeous young man that just about took my breath away. C-dramas have had its shares of breakouts, a few notable recent ones were Feng Shao Feng in 2011 with … Continue reading →
Word on the street is that King Flower has wrapped filming, or at least wrapped for most people. Not certain but this sounds about right. Up next is George Hu and Annie Chen’s True Love Black & White Pair airing sometime in June, and I give KF a few weeks lead on filmed footage in the can. I wish I … Continue reading →
In light of the fact that the drama adaptation of Da Mo Yao (Ballad of the Desert) might never see the light of day, plus I’m still not ready to accept Eddie Peng as General Huo Qu Bing despite all my love for Liu Shi Shi and Hu Ge, the drama adaptation of Yun Zhong Ge (Song in the Clouds) … Continue reading →
Well this is different enough to be either rocking or an abominable mess. When Director Tsai did Black & White it could have been a giant mess of a stinker and yet it took Taiwan dramas to a whole new level. Could this do it again? Cable network TVBS is producing its first idol drama called Flying Past Dragon Gate … Continue reading →
I wasn’t expecting this until the Summer, but looks like GTV wants to bring out some familiar big guns to try and rescue its prolonged period of bad ratings for Sunday night. The Taiwanese drama adaptation of You’re Beautiful has been given the English title of Fabulous Boys and is premiering on May 12th on GTV. That means Spring Love … Continue reading →
I shall henceforth always remember this week in drama-lore as “the week it rained kisses in all of Koala’s crack dramas”, or maybe “the week the kisses were all in the rain in Koala’s crack dramas”. Take that as a spoiler for a certain drama episode imma recapping as fast as my fingers can type. Who knew rain could hurt … Continue reading →
