Luckily, GTV recently announced that SA was picked it up for its late Spring broadcast, so expect … Continue reading →

First up, Park Shin Hye just wrapped principal filming on Hayate the Combat Butler, co-starring George Hu, and the drama is slated for broadcast on GTV in the Spring. After four months in … Continue reading →
Okay, I might have spoken too soon when I decreed that Four Brothers of Peking was my most anticipated C-drama of 2011. It still is, but now it has to share the throne with Bu Bu Jing Xin (步步惊心), the upcoming time-travel political intrigue romance C-drama, which is currently entering the tail end of its production. Expect to see it … Continue reading →

I thought about topping the post with one of the pictures below, then I realized that with my readership having expanded beyond my band of beloved drama friends, I might want to self-censor for the young un’s. Channel X has been boldly telling the world that the undisputed king of Taiwan drama sex scenes, Joe Cheng (the TW-media really has dubbed … Continue reading →
Channel X with Joe Cheng and Amber Kuo is premiering in one week, and the production has released an hour-long special to whet the audiences’ appetite. After watching it, and reading the official plot synopsis – I am ravenous for this drama. Actually, after reading the first two sentences of the plot synopsis, my jaw hit the floor.

At the least the Taiwanese awards shows these past few years are consistent – consistently making my jaw drop. I think this has been trending since Mark Chao won the Best Actor award to the Golden Bell Awards in 2009 over co-star Vic Zhou. Followed by Rainie Yang winning best actress in the same drama awards in 2010. And now they both … Continue reading →
