Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy Tie the Knot in Lavish Wedding Ceremony Attended by Bevy of A-list Stars

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Money was clearly no limitation for the lavish and star-studded wedding ceremony of top Chinese stars Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy. It was as luxurious and over-the-top as Jay Chou‘s nuptials to Hannah Quinlivan last year, minus only the English castle backdrop but plus dozens more celebrity guests since it wasn’t a destination wedding. The newlyweds actually got married officially a … Continue reading →

Taiwan Stars Gather to Bid Farewell at Shone An’s Touching Memorial Service

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

It’s hard to write about the sad events in entertainment, and nothing is as sad than the death of an entertainer. It’s so final, turning the reel enjoyment into a real sadness that seeps through the screen even if the viewer never knew the entertainer in real life. Taiwanese actor-singer Shone An (An Jun Can) passed away last week at … Continue reading →

TW-ent Hit with Shocking Sadness at the Passing of Singer-Actor Shone An

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Taiwan entertainment was unexpectedly rocked with sad news this week with the passing of 31 year old singer-actor Shone An. I’ve been familiar with Shone for over a decade since he broke into the industry as part of the Taiwanese boy band Comic Boys (which also included now serious actor Kingone Wang). The group disbanded years ago and Shone transitioned into … Continue reading →

Mike He and Ady An’s Pig Farm Heiress Rom-com Go, Single Lady Unexpectedly Drops July 6th

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Folks ask me all the time when so-and-so prefilmed C-drama will air and honestly its a big unknown with tentative air dates often getting moved around. With that said, sometimes a network randomly shoehorns in an airing at the last minute, and that’s what likely happened with Zhejiang Network‘s premiere on July 6th of the drama Go, Single Lady (Chinese title 真愛遇到他 … Continue reading →

This post contains Song Seung Heon, various beautiful actresses from the Chinese-speaking entertainment world, and some explicit and steamy stills. If any or all of that is not your cup of tea, then I suggest you skip it rather and click more and then walk away with eyes wide open and tsk tsking about how inappropriate it is. I guess … Continue reading →

Unexpectedly Awesome Long Preview for Mike He-Ady An Rom-com Taiwan Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

There are some TW and C-dramas that are pre-filmed and then sit on the shelf for what feels like an eternity. Sometimes it has nothing to do with quality but more like shopping around for a network to air it. I remember one of my fave TW-dramas Sunny Happiness completing filming over a year before it aired. Last year Mike … Continue reading →

Vanness Wu Joins Ady An and Chris Wu for Another Autumn’s Concerto Getogether

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

OMG Ady An I hate you! Wait, let me amend that, OMG Liang Mu Cheng I hate you! How can you still be sandwiched between those two gorgeous guys four years later? Why is there no justice in the world? For me at least, because I would be in a state somewhere between swooning and grabbing if I were her. … Continue reading →

Chris Wu and the Crew of Autumn’s Concerto Visit Ady An on Set of her New Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

A nostalgic walk down memory lane is oh so sweet and I’ve found myself revisiting dramas when the mood calls for it. As a viewer I get pretty attached to some dramas so its no wonder that the cast and crew who actually live and breath making a drama can form lasting friendships at times. As King Flower readies for … Continue reading →

That was easy – with one picture I’ve been sold on the upcoming new drama pairing of Ady An and Mike He. They are seriously adorable without being cloying. It is the first time working together for these two though collectively they have been in a good third of major Taiwan idol dramas if you add it all up. Mike … Continue reading →

Ady An Pairs up with Wu Zun in Saving General Yang and Breaks up the All-male Bromance

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m totally watching Saving General Yang for my Zai Zai, but lord knows I have to go in with an iron stomach. The well-known Song dynasty folk tale about the patriotic Yang family who had seven strapping warrior sons who went to battle and only one came home is a perpetual cinematic favorite for how it deals with filial piety … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

After a long four year hiatus from Taiwan idol dramas, Ady An is headed back to the island where she was last seen on the small screen in a little known monster hit called Autumn’s Concerto, which made amnesia and a certain little Xiao Xiao Bin popular. Since then Ady has been starring in C-drama after C-drama, a good mix … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Omo, it’s Xiao Yao ge ge back together with feisty little Yue Ru! It’s been eight long years since Hu Ge and Ady An co-starred in Chinese Paladin (though Crystal Liu was the female lead, I liked Ady’s second female lead much better) and fans of that pairing were thrilled last week when it was announced that they were pairing … Continue reading →

Apple Daily Ranks the Top Ten Money Making TW-actors in 2011

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Apple Daily released its list of the top ten money-making Taiwanese entertainers in 2011, five from each gender. The results are interesting purely from a curiosity perspective, since how much I like an actress or actor has no correlation to how much money they bring in. Nicky Wu leads the pack amongst all the male Taiwanese actors, with all his … Continue reading →
