I’m a little late to this reunion but a few weeks is no biggie when it comes to the happiness inducing pairing of Taiwan drama stalwarts Roy Qiu and Alice Ke. The ratings delivering hitmakers of Office Girls and Marry Me or Not are rocking the couples wear and the still strong chemistry at a recent promo event in early March … Continue reading →
Winning the biggest award of her acting career must feel triply sweet right now for TW-actress Alice Ke. She was the only one of the nominated acting trio of leads in Marry Me or Not to walk away with a win at last weekend’s Golden Bell Awards. Roy Qiu lost both his acting categories and Joanne Tseng also didn’t manage … Continue reading →
The glitziest night of Taiwanese television took place at the 51st annual Golden Bell Awards Friday night in Taipei. I only pay attention for the fashion and if certain TW-dramas or acting talent that I happen to like for that year are nominated, and this year it was all about Marry Me or Not with Roy Qiu and Alice Ke. … Continue reading →
It’s been so long since TW-drama Marry Me or Not finished airing in February of 2016, with the drama going into my keep forever pile with lingering fond memories of how incredibly satisfying it was from start to finish. Now the cast is getting rewarded big time as the drama has garnered six nominations at the just released nominations list … Continue reading →
TW-drama Marry Me or Not wrapped up its compact 15-episode run last Sunday with a nice flourish. A tidy bow if you will, for the OTP at least, and really that’s all I cared about. Roy Qiu made a triumphant return to drama land with this drama and role, his lawyer Justin was hilarious and ever evolving, a man who … Continue reading →
With three more episodes left in Marry Me or Not, the drama remains primed to be one of the best and most beloved of all the TW-dramas I’ve watched. Quite a feat considering so many follow up works of actors and actresses I love never live up to quality expectations and end with me dropping the watch in disappointment. I’m … Continue reading →
I’m seriously in a teeth gnashing state when it comes to TW-drama Marry Me or Not, and it’s a bipolar situation no less as I alternate between that and bouts of smiling like a loony because the OTP makes me so darn happy. I find this drama confllicting because it can coast so well on the fantastic lead characters and … Continue reading →
Episode 11 of Marry Me or Not really got my goat up, but for all the right reasons because it shows how much I love this drama and love my precious OTP of Huan Huan and Justin. There are only four episodes left and the previews for episode 12 look insanely intense, and will likely need some anti-anxiety pills for … Continue reading →
It’s a testament to how much I’ve come to love the leads in Marry Me or Not that even ancillary obstacles get my goat up. I know Justin’s mother is not going to meddle in any way substantive, at least not if Justin can help it, and neither is the arrival of his law school junior in a cameo by … Continue reading →
Marry Me or Not took a turn into more serious territory in episode 10 but that didn’t dampen the enjoyment in the least. I appreciate the chance to flesh out other characters more, even one as unlikable as Justin’s self-absorbed mom who can only see slights against her and never her own actions towards others. Justin may not be experienced … Continue reading →
At a scheduled 15 episodes, and all pre-filmed in advance, TW-drama Marry Me or Not has the best pacing of any drama I’ve watched all year. There is no lagging or flagging as the story goes from a stroll to a brisk walk in a natural pace that has the events and emotions building fluidly. Episode 9 continued with the … Continue reading →
Marry Me or Not continues to be marvelous, even at the pace of turning serious and even a little bit makjang. That’s not a bad thing, makjang gets associated with negative connotations but the original intent is merely to drop some dramatic associations to heighten the tension, but has since been hijacked to ever greater heights of absurd in K-dramas. … Continue reading →
Wahhhh, things are getting intense fast in Marry Me or Not on all fronts. I wished the drama would reveal what really went down in college between Huan Huan and that asswipe Jiang Qian Yao, because right now I don’t have a good about him other than if he gets between Huan Huan and Justin then he’ll get a good … Continue reading →
