RIM just announced lower than expected forecast for next quarter, and the slew of bad news has been dogging the company for the past year since it’s unable to keep up with the smart phone market. One of the digs against RIM is that it just doesn’t “get it”, doesn’t understand cultural shifts, get onboard with the correct trends so … Continue reading →
Hot on the heels of Yuan Hong and Liu Shi Shi reuniting to accept their Esquire China Men of the Year Award, the OTHER Legend of the Condor Heroes 2008 couple followed suit yesterday. Hu Ge and Ariel Lin sat side-by-side in the audience and went onstage together to accept their respective Most Popular Actor and Best Actress (Taiwan and … Continue reading →
Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen stumbled their way to an expected and well-earned happy ending in today’s final episode of In Time With You. It was no surprise they will end up together, but viewers cared about the how, wanting their journey to feel complete. The production released these final batch of official stills for the fans to savor and … Continue reading →
Ariel Lin took time out of her busy schedule to take a walk down memory lane, surprising the 2000 current students at her alma mater high school with a surprise appearance at the school’s annual celebration festival. Ariel’s teachers revealed that she’s never forgotten to call from time to time to keep in touch regardless of how busy and famous … Continue reading →
These two bits of news have nothing whatsoever to do with each other (other than the Christmas theme), but since both happened this week AND I super love Ariel Lin and Roy Qiu, imma pulling an executive decision and making it a combined post. Also because – don’t they look good together! YY? Roy was at the DHL-sponsored charity movie … Continue reading →
This news will make some ArJoe fans rejoice. Much as I think Ariel Lin is never going to end up in real life with another actor (she’s never dated any of her co-stars or anyone in the entertainment industry since she debuted), she has such explosive and brilliant chemistry with ALL her male co-stars there are legions of Ariel fans … Continue reading →
When watching dramas, I can simply like or dislike based on my immediate reaction. It’s personal and introspective. When writing about dramas, my likes and dislikes take on a life of its own outside my private thought bubble. I’ve noticed people can be offended if it differs from theirs, or find validation when it coincides therewith. That’s fine by me, … Continue reading →
It’s totally my fault for not talking more about In Time With You, which is shaping up to be the best drama out of Taiwan in years. I don’t think it’s presumptuous for me to bet on Ariel Lin getting a return nomination for the Golden Bell Awards next year, as well as the drama getting lot of love. Ratings continues … Continue reading →
It’s rare that a currently airing small screen couple will simultaneously have a big screen collaboration released at the same time, which is what is happening later this month when Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen’s movie Lovesick comes out. The three leads, Ariel, Bolin, and Li Yi Feng, are hitting multiple cities in China for fan meetings and media events … Continue reading →
Just days after I posted the two short trailers for Lovesick, the upcoming movie with Ariel Lin, Bolin Chen, and Li Yi Feng, the production released the official MV set to the title song “Not Anymore” sung by Kong Ling Qi. It’s a great ballad that just hits the spot, though I wish my Feng Feng, a singer first and … Continue reading →
Ariel Lin is currently starring in the beyond lovely TW-drama In Time With You, but her body of work is about to expand by one more come next month. The long-completed rom-com movie Lovesick (the title is better translated as Love Phobia) is slated to premiere next month in Taiwan. Before Ariel and Bolin Chen filmed ITWY, they actually made … Continue reading →
What can I say about episode 1 of In Time With You? I’m not sure throwing around superlatives like bon bons really gets to the crux of the experience of watching this drama. It’s not merely a wonderful and excellent cinematic work, it’s genuinely introspective without being precocious, realistic without being plodding. Episode 1 toggled expertly between the past and … Continue reading →
Happy Chuseok to the folks in Korea, and an early Happy Zhong Qiu (Mid-Autumn) Moon Festival to the folks in Greater China. We’re one week away from the premiere of Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen‘s In Time With You on FTV. The cast held a media day this week to make moon cakes for the needy and the production donated … Continue reading →
