It’s a treat adoring an entertainer like Aaron Yan since he always has something to offer. He’s basically active all year round split between his acting and singing career. The former was pretty shaky when he first dipped a toe in but has since seen marked improvement that is less future award winning acting god and more delivering the emotional … Continue reading →
Wallace Chung continues to be a supremely sought after and busy C-drama male lead, and this month he wraps one period C-drama in General and I while continuing to film a modern one tentatively called Flower Accompanying You the Entire Way. It’s adapted from a C-novel, as expected, and pairs Wallace with C-actress Jiang Shu Ying, with the second leads being … Continue reading →
This Sunday SETTV premieres a new idol drama after wrapping up the highly successful run of Bromance. I normally love cross-dressing hijinks but that particular drama had me in the minority of not digging it. I also like Taiwan drama takes on workplace romances which fits the bill for upcoming Refresh Man. The English title is so random since the … Continue reading →
Okay, this drama looks soooo cute, and in the cute I mean that unique Taiwanese idol drama definition of it. The first substantive teasers are out for upcoming SETTV Sunday night drama Refresh Man, which feels a bit late since the drama premieres this coming Sunday after Bromance finished last week. Refresh Man stars popular singer-actors Aaron Yan and Joanne … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for upcoming SETTV Sunday night drama Refresh Man with Aaron Yan and Joanne Tseng and it brings back all the right feels. It has the same bright effervescence of Just You, the drama with Aaron and Puff Guo which launched them into the top tiers of Taiwan drama stars. It also gives off the earnest … Continue reading →
Filming has started for the next SETTV Sunday night drama, which means I can start my countdown to no more Bromance and soon more Aaron Yan and Joanne Tseng. This is the perfect antidote to Marry Me or Not ending next weekend at a sweet and compact 15 episodes, which is something SETTV never ever does even when it has … Continue reading →
I’m so not into Bromance no matter how many people may love it. I’m fine with Baron Chen but Megan Lai has been rubbing me the wrong way with her acting ever since Miss Rose, the way she reads her lines and often looks slightly concussed when trying to act clueless grates for me. I’m waiting for the drama to … Continue reading →
The star weddings coming out of Taiwan and China these past few years have been heading in the more and more extravagant direction, and that may all be thanks to megastar Jay Chou‘s English castle wedding to Hannah Quinlivan starting the one upping trend. Hannah’s bridesmaids at her luxe wedding included industry bestie actress Beatrice Fang, who may need to … Continue reading →
This juicy dating rumor feels like a stretch, not to mention a good year too late to be worth its sizzle. Taiwan netizens are speculating that all the recent dating rumors between idol-actress Tia Li and fallen TW-actor Kai Ko is actually a front for Tia’s real romance with her former costar Aaron Yan. Say what was my first reaction, … Continue reading →
It was a seismic day yesterday with the United States Supreme Court finally issuing the definitive opinion on the right to gay marriage in the United States. Beyond the elation for the US LBGTQ community, as a lawyer I was fascinated to read the beautifully written Kennedy majority opinion, not to mention the hilariously scathing Scalia dissent. For those wanting … Continue reading →
At this point it’s not a question of who else is going to be doing a crossover project with China, but a matter of when with respect to all the popular and rising Korean actors and actresses. I find it funny that Jang Nara already did this over a decade ago when she was making Chinese dramas left and right. Up … Continue reading →
In a first ever for singer-actor Aaron Yan, he’s just did his first guest-starring stint in someone else’s MV and it’s none other than his same-label mate Selina Jen‘s latest solo album. I don’t foresee a Fahrenheit album anytime soon so Aaron is basically a solo artist now as far as I’m concerned. S.H.E.‘s last album was the 2012 Blossomy … Continue reading →
It’s Lunar New Year on February 19th this year, much later than the usual early February or late January dates during most years. That’s because the Lunar calender only has 30 days in every month so after a few years it gets so out of sync with the seasons and the Gregorian calendar that a month gets added back. That … Continue reading →
