By all that is drama holy, if Marry Me, or Not ends up being half as good as it looks in this particular preview then I will stop bemoaning 2015 being lackluster in dramas. Initially this started off as just the reunion vehicle for hit TW-drama Office Girls costars Roy Qiu and Alice Ke, two of my favorite Taiwan acting talent … Continue reading →
I don’t want to get too ahead of myself but dang it this drama looks soooooo good! Not only does the story line seem interesting in the previews for upcoming TW-drama Marry Me, or Not, there is also comprehensive eye candy as all four leads Alice Ke, Roy Qiu, Joanne Tseng, and Harry Chang are rocking amazing modern work place … Continue reading →
Please be good, Marry Me, or Not! I’ve been waiting for this drama for what feels like forever, but even more critical is how much is on the line for me. There hasn’t been a home rum TW-drama all year that’s owned my heart, even if When I See You Again and Love Cuisine are moderately watchable solely for male … Continue reading →
If upcoming TW-drama Marry Me, or Not was a blind date, I’d probably marry it sight unseen based on the strength of the two leads unknown. Reuniting hit drama Office Girl’s Roy Qiu and Alice Ke, this time the two trade sweet awshucks type banter for more chic and high powered work place romance. There is always the potential for … Continue reading →
When Office Girls wrapped up its 2011-2012 insanely popular run on SETTV, I was ready to let the drama go thinking that there will be plenty of other opportunities to watch leads Roy Qiu and Alice Ke in future great projects. Boy was I wrong as neither has done anything in the four years since that have remotely touched the … Continue reading →
Upcoming TW-drama Marry Me, or Not is definitely one of my most anticipated dramas of the year, even if it won’t arrive until close to the end of 2015. I have the patience to wait for quality fare and this drama just wrapped filming and will head into a length post-production to add some pizzaz on the whole package. Leads … Continue reading →
It’s going to be awhile longer until currently filming TW-drama Marry Me, or Not hits the airwaves. The cast has been filming since February and should be wrapping up soon, but the drama looks to get on the TTV schedule sometime in late 2015, my estimate is October at the earliest. I’m patient when it comes to waiting for quality fare … Continue reading →
Waking up to magical drama casting news definitely sets the mood for the entire day to “ecstatic”. It’s been four years since the last SETTV mega-hit drama, which was the unexpected success of Office Girls with Roy Qiu and Alice Ke. It was so popular it even beat In Time With You in ratings by a long shot. I loved … Continue reading →
All of TW-drama land feels so lugubrious lately. There is a snail’s pace crawl in both currently airing and upcoming dramas, some of which are not bad but nothing that drives me rabid with want. Pleasantly Surprised (Love Myself or You) is solid and sweet but I’m still getting up the impetus to write about it in any way, shape, … Continue reading →
New TW-drama alert, and this coming hot on the heels of Rainie Yang filming her first drama in three years and Joe Cheng‘s drama coming soon, I think an old school revival is headed our way. Mike He just started filming a new TW-drama called Bravely Say I Love You for the cable network CTI and will mark their first self-produced … Continue reading →
I have hundreds of beautiful headers all created by talented kindred spirits in the drama watching field and it’s a joy for me whenever I click on AKP to see which headers pops up. I hope it is for you, too. Some dramas (or actors/actresses) have more headers than others but the frequency by which I encounter them is by … Continue reading →
Well this is different enough to be either rocking or an abominable mess. When Director Tsai did Black & White it could have been a giant mess of a stinker and yet it took Taiwan dramas to a whole new level. Could this do it again? Cable network TVBS is producing its first idol drama called Flying Past Dragon Gate … Continue reading →
Taiwan actresses are by-and-large way more natural still than their Korean counterparts. I haven’t seen a lot of plastic surgery to the degree that seems to be dominating Korea in the last decade, and for that I am actually way more appreciative of how there is such a diverse range of looks that are embraced in Taiwan when it comes … Continue reading →
