You guys must’ve noticed that this week’s Office Girl’s recap was nowhere to be seen. Truth be told I’ve been extremely busy, but I’ve also discovered my urge to recap OG has dissipated. I still love watching it, but so little is happening I simply have nothing to talk about. I don’t want any OG recapping duties to mar my … Continue reading →
When Selina Jen vowed she would make a comeback, she wasn’t just shooting for the stars. A year after she and co-star Ham Yu suffered severe burns over most of their body during a catastrophic explosion on the set of their drama I Have a Date with Spring, Selina has made enough of a recovery that she was finally able … Continue reading →
OMG whut? Seriously drama, you want to go there? Someone give me some blood pressure medicine. What happened to the rich emotional drama with tons of conversations and loads of understanding? Suddenly we’re dealing with lawsuits and a near complete breakdown of trust. Episode 12 of Me Too, Flower! was a hard episode to watch. Hard because I really feel … Continue reading →
Not only is Zai Zai looking more and more like Tony Leung, he’s also healthier and happier than I have seen him in years. Seeing Vic Zhou along with Yang Mi and Ella hitting the Chinese variety show circuit to promote their movie Perfect Two (minus Xiao Xiao Bin who is back in Taiwan), I suddenly discovered a ZaiMi craving … Continue reading →
Man of Honor is officially dead to me. This is my last anything related to it. The writer for this drama must never be allowed to write again. This isn’t aiming high and then failing to reach it. This is just plain incompetence. There is stupid but loveable, and there is plain dreadful and moronic. This drama would be the … Continue reading →
Led by Director Doze Niu, the leads of the upcoming romantic movie LOVE were in Shanghai today to unveil the latest poster for the movie and continue with their steady promotional activities for the movie which premieres in February. Present were Ethan Ruan, Vicky Zhao, Amber Kuo, Eddie Peng, and Ivy Chen, with Mark Chao and Shu Qi absent due to scheduling … Continue reading →
I thought my heart had gone into its Winter dormant phase with no dramas to pine over, but Me Too, Flower! proved that it was awake and kicking. While M2F objectively has quite a lot of kinks in its narrative flow, the flaws are smoothed over by having two amazingly written lead characters who are being acted to perfection with … Continue reading →
[M2F recap coming much later, so don’t ask where it is] The cast of the upcoming live-action adaptation of the manga Skip Beat attended a press conference today in Taipei to drum up interest for the premiere of the drama this coming Sunday. Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae jetted into town for less six hours just for this important event. … Continue reading →
I’m still hanging in there for Man of Honor, so strong is my love for PIE and Min Young, who are gamely trudging through the mess that is this drama. My gut feeling is that the writer has no clue how to tie together and wrap up all the loose threads so he’s just randomly pulling everything into a ball … Continue reading →
Gosh, I just love Su Ae, who radiates this serene beauty and sophistication when she’s onscreen or in print. She’s really hit or miss for me in terms of her acting projects, but I remain a fan regardless because she’s got this special aura that I find fascinating. While her character is currently suffering from early onset dementia in Thousand … Continue reading →
In all my drama watching years, I have never ever (NEVER EVER EVER) seen anything like the official MV released by the production for the upcoming SBS drama History of the Salaryman. O.M.F.G. Whomever conceived of this was smoking more weed than the entire generation of the 70s. Stills were released last week of the cast filming in what appeared … Continue reading →
Today was the premiere of a new TW-drama, a daily called Inborn Pair (alternate English title is called True Love) starring Annie Chen and Chris Wang. I watched tons of trailers and BTS of the drama last week (didn’t post about it) and enjoyed it all very much. A daily TW-drama consists of 45-minute episodes every weekday and tends to … Continue reading →
HongShi is back together! For an awards show, that is. Liu Shi Shi and Yuan Hong, the former currently filming An Angel’s Happiness with Ming Dao while the latter just returned to Beijing from the hinterlands of China where he was filming a Hua Mulan drama for the last three months, reunited to attend the 2011 Esquire China Men of … Continue reading →
