HAHAHAHAHA, this is so unreal! Roy Qiu showing up escorting Hello Kitty? Did I fall into my personal Twilight Zone? Or perhaps a utopia specifically crafted for me? I can’t even formulate any coherent analysis of what the frak is going on, other than Roy is on fire with endorsements all over Taiwan and China. And he’s got a great … Continue reading →
Okay, count me in. The preview for episode 1 of Wild Romance is out, and I chuckled repeatedly despite my better judgment. This things look funny in a Three Stooges sort of way. I don’t think it’ll be anything deeper than two bone-headed enemies falling in love in between pratfalls and peccadilloes. My koala sense is telling me this will … Continue reading →
The official posters for The Moon that Embraces the Sun have been released, and my initial impression is a big fat meh. The poster on top is boring, the standard have everyone stand in a row and do their own pose presentation. Plus the colors really remind me of The Princess’s Man and the background image of the moon and … Continue reading →
Let me get this out of the way first. I loved this final episode of Me Too, Flower! It wasn’t perfect, not by a long shot, but it was wholly satisfying in the things that mattered and served up a proper and meaningful ending in the truncated time allotted. I loved it so much its helped ease my frustration over … Continue reading →
I don’t know what happened, or how it happened so quickly, but episode 2 of Skip Beat slowed down considerably from its rollicking start. The script, execution, and acting are still fabulous, especially with the introduction of more characters, but I found myself wanting this story to get a move on. Which is my issue with the manga itself, so … Continue reading →
How fast time flies, since it’s time to say goodbye to yet another drama. As much as the last few episodes of Me Too, Flower! have been unable to tap back into the crackling intensity and great character and story development of the first half of the drama, I find myself really jazzed for the finale. I think I love … Continue reading →
Next Wednesday is going to be a throwdown for primetime K-dramas with three new offerings premiering on the same day. I was planning on watching the sageuk with pretty people, but will now add the goofy Wild Romance to my plate since the second teaser just released is starting to grow on me. I like that this drama has no … Continue reading →
Next week is the premiere of The Moon that Embraces the Sun, yet the adult cast gathered just this past week for their first script reading. Of course the reason is that this drama will have a longer childhood portion set at six-episodes out of the scheduled twenty. I don’t care how long a childhood section is as long as … Continue reading →
Who knows when Office Girls will actually end, but it’s follow up drama 向前走向愛走 (literal translation is Walking Forward Towards Love, and the former title for this drama was Dream Chasing Gal) held a small press conference last week to introduce the two leading ladies in character. TTV has been on a roll this year with a series of hit … Continue reading →
I’ve been stuffing myself full of food for the last few days but it’s been lean on my drama intake. Totally backlogged but will undoubtedly catch up in due course. Office Girls episode 19 continues the dichotomy of being completely boring in any scene not involving Xing Ren and Zi Qi, and then nailing it when the two of them … Continue reading →
While I wasn’t watching, the Fall 2011 dorama season in Japan just spawned a record breaker. Matsushima Nanako‘s odd little housekeeper dorama Kaseifu no Mita (literal translation I am Mita the Housekeeper) has been a blockbuster hit from the very first episode, which premiered at almost 20% in ratings. This little sucker kept increasing its ratings every week until its … Continue reading →
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I sure did. And so did the fans in Taipei who spent Christmas Eve at the New Taipei City free outdoor concert at the Taipei 101 Building where a bevy of singers helped usher in the holiday spirit. The closing act was none other than Rainie Yang, formerly more famous for being … Continue reading →
I blame Autumn in my Heart for my Song Seung Heon love, and now I can blame it’s C-drama remake Fall in Love for my Hans Zhang crush. The boy is as close to a mini Heon oppa as I’ve ever seen, just as cute and equally cannot act. Clearly made just for me to swoon over. Hmmmm, yummy. I … Continue reading →
