Damn those Taiwan tabloids and their propensity to sensationalize everything. Since news broke of Ariel Lin‘s new romance back in May (though the romance started earlier than that), the TW-media has been keen on conjuring up salacious gossip on the set of In Time With You between Ariel and her second male lead Sunny Yang, simply because they have quite … Continue reading →
2011 is turning out to be a banner year for TW-dramas. I’m not kidding, because I thought the previous two years were pretty much crap with the exception of Black & White. Whereas this year has given me three awesome TW-dramas in a row: Sunny Happiness, Drunken to Love You, and Material Queen. But it’s not done yet, because I … Continue reading →
Yay for my Ariel Lin coming back to the small screen soon! Boo for this might very well be the last time she does so. I’m going to savor every second of the upcoming TW-drama In Time With You (Chinese title I Might Not Love You) starring Ariel and Bolin Chen. Ariel stated in an interview last month that after this … Continue reading →
After a month of filming, GTV finally released the first official stills of Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen in the upcoming TW-drama In Time With You. This has been a very low-key production for various reasons, one of which has to be all the media swarming over to currrently filming Extravagant Challenge. The low-key vibe suits everyone at ITWY just fine, as sometimes … Continue reading →
The amount of news overdrive coming out of Taiwan entertainment is causing me to have some slight blurry vision from reading too much newsprint. Luckily, a look at my goddess Ariel Lin makes my eyes refocus again. GTV‘s upcoming drama In Time With You starring Ariel and Bolin Chen commenced production this week, and I’m eager for the first stills to … Continue reading →
Tea? Someone thought of the brilliant plan to pair up Vic Zhou and Ariel Lin just to sell tea? Oh my lord, my head hurts because I want so much more than that. However inane and fleeting, the pairing up of my two favorite TW-actors back in 2008 is like a Koala’s dream come true. If I won the lottery, … Continue reading →
I haven’t seen these three together in one place in a long time. Ariel Lin, Ethan Ruan, and Joe Cheng all attended the grand opening of “80’s Studio”, a hip and trendy hairdressing joint that recalls the hokey fake celebrity hair salon in The Magicians of Love. Seeing them together makes me long for Mike He to be there and complete … Continue reading →
No sooner have I discovered my newest beloved (that would be Li Yi Feng *ahem, MINE*), it would appear that 2011 is turning out to be a breakthrough year for him. No surprise, since he’s an ’87er, and I’ve recently discovered that some of my fave younger generation actors are all ’87ers, and 2011 is their root life year (rabbity … Continue reading →
After I did the post on the leading men of Taiwan entertainment (here), it’s only fitting I devote the same attention to showcasing the leading ladies who spark and sizzle with those guys. To be frank, my personal opinion is that the number of good actresses in Taiwan is significantly lower than the number of good actors. But I’ve watched … Continue reading →
I’m currently binging on a Taiwan drama (will post about it in a bit), so thought I might bring some news about upcoming 2011 TW-dramas in the works. First up, Park Shin Hye just wrapped principal filming on Hayate the Combat Butler, co-starring George Hu, and the drama is slated for broadcast on GTV in the Spring. After four months in … Continue reading →
Taiwan Vogue (which is an exquisite magazine) has partnered up with the upcoming Taipei Flower Festival to showcase the talents of its local flowers (ahem, ladies) as photographed by famed floral and landscape photographer Ninagawa Mika. I hereby present eight lovely ladies of the Taiwan entertainment industry, as photographed by Ninagawa to both complement and accentuate the flowers used as … Continue reading →
On October 18, 2010, a group of Chinese and Taiwanese singers and entertainers hit the stage in Tokyo, Japan, to perform for the Asia Music Summit. I’m not even going to pretend I know any of the performers, or identify them for you, other than Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin. [Edit: I added two more pictures, including one where the … Continue reading →
