I’m super stoked about the first new SETTV drama of 2015 in the currently airing Someone Like You starring Kingone Wang and Kirsten Jen. It’s also a good time to be reminded of all the little things the network did right last year with a brand new series of Spop Magazine covers featuring popular pairings from 2014 SETTV dramas. The pictures were taken … Continue reading →
It’s a bit of a downer to feel so nonchalant about the Taiwan idol dramas of 2014. SETTV dumped a lot of drama hours but overall the buzz seems to have died down. Despite producing one of my all-time faves In a Good Way and really lovely sweet romances in Pleasantly Surprised (Love Myself or You) and Love Cheque Charge, … Continue reading →
I think S.Pop magazine might be the equivalent of Tiger Beat but for the Taiwan idol fan crowd. Nothing wrong with that, the only time I ignore a new issue is if it features leads from one of the SETTV dramas I’ve avoiding like the plague. The latest two issues have been solid eye candy for me, the September one … Continue reading →
I wonder what made puppy shoot his mouth off like this but one thing for certain is that Aaron Yan isn’t afraid of rattling up controversy by speaking bluntly. Last week Aaron was in Singapore to attend the Golden Awards and that was followed by the release of his new official MV for the single “The Unwanted Love”. The song … Continue reading →
It’s the year of Aaron Yan in Taiwanese entertainment and we are all living with him just living it up. Since starring in the Friday night drama Just You with Puff Guo last year, he’s been on a nonstop tear releasing singles like last year’s “Taipei Sleeping” and “Unstoppable Sun” followed by two mini-albums this year with Drama and Cut. … Continue reading →
If either Puff Guo or Tia Li actually likes Aaron Yan in real life like the shippers of him with either girl wish, then Dream Girls would be in a state of disarray seeing as the way Aaron flits between the two ladies like a particularly flirty butterfly. Aaron just wrapped the imbecilic TW-drama Fall in Love with Me costarring … Continue reading →
There will be a day where Aaron Yan fanservice isn’t enough to keep a drama afloat. That day may have arrived already towards the end of the just completed drama Fall in Love with Me which aired the last episode on Sunday. Judging from the number of viewers who stuck to it in the floundering middle for Aaron and finally … Continue reading →
A benevolent drama god is putting Fall in Love with Me out of its misery this weekend, and probably freeing the remaining few viewers still watching along. I was actually stunned this drama is ending this Sunday at episode 20. Most SETTV live-filmed dramas end past 20 episodes and the few that are shorter have been pre-filmed so the ending … Continue reading →
Not watching Fall in Love with Me hasn’t been that bad a trade off since I get to check out plenty of pretty Aaron Yan drama stills without needing to wade through the plot insanity and bad acting. I can believe that some viewers can get past Tia Li‘s bad acting enough to enjoy the OTP storyline and chemistry but … Continue reading →
The Fall in Love with Me narrative insanity continues and with it comes the commensurate uptick in ratings which has yielded the most fanservice from the drama cast yet with leading man Aaron Yan going shirtless as per his promise if the ratings broke 2%. That’s so sad, in the past such male lead shirtlessness required ratings to break 5% … Continue reading →
Is anyone still watching Fall in Love with Me? I need a quickie summary of the latest happenings onscreen since the drama has managed to lure me back to check out this Sunday’s episode 16 with the promise of topless Aaron Yan and lots of kissing. The ratings for FILWM have been quite low for the network on the Sunday night slot … Continue reading →
I’m still staying away from Fall in Love with Me with Aaron Yan and Tia Li after a terrible first episode (IMO) and lackluster follow up episodes that left me floundering for any reason to keep watching when I couldn’t stand Tia’s acting. The lure might just be here in the recent promotion that Aaron and Tia went on for … Continue reading →
Aaron Yan may be multi-talented but he honestly only works in a few settings. I love his singing and his latest mini-album Drama just dropped last month and is fantastic especially with the two songs from the album that are theme songs for his currently airing drama Fall in Love with Me. The opening song “1/2” with Aaron and Korean popstar … Continue reading →
