I love when stars understand fan service, and then have a great sense of humor about it. The leads of upcoming C-movie Go Lala Go 2 (Tale of Du Lala’s Wedding Chase) attended a press conference this week in Beijing to promote the movie, which had its premiere date pushed back to December 4th to lead off the start of … Continue reading →
This is a most excellent onscreen pairing, and it’s an opinion I have even without watching them together, and even if the movie ends up a dud. Whoever thought to bring together Taiwanese actor Bolin Chen and Korean actress Son Ye Jin was doing more than picking popular star names out of a hat, these two have very similar acting … Continue reading →
Upcoming C-movie Go Lala Go 2 is doing everything all right when it comes to promoting the drama. The production is selling the heck out of three unbelievably talented and good looking leads in Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou, and Bolin Chen. The second set of official character posters has dropped and is different enough from the first to see that thought … Continue reading →
I have a feeling upcoming C-movie Go Lala Go 2 will be a solid hit. The style is in line with the hit Chinese chick flicks of recent years like the Tiny Times series, rather superficial in exploring themes of modern romance, career, and friendship, but visually slick and pretty enough to gloss over the lightweight aspect of it all. … Continue reading →
The prestigious 50th annual Golden Bell Awards just went down this Saturday night in Taipei, and it was definitely one of the years with a plethora of A-list attendees. None more so than two time Golden Bell Best Actress winner Ariel Lin walking the red carpet with one Golden Bell Best Actor winner on each arm, Vic Zhou to her right and … Continue reading →
I appreciate that the production team for upcoming Go Lala Go 2 (aka Du Lala Marriage Chasing Chronicles) managed to assemble the dream cast of Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou, and Bolin Chen in one movie, but can they be on top of things and give me a movie trailer by now? What’s the point of having three Golden Bell best … Continue reading →
The Seoul International Drama Awards enters its 10th year today, a milestone definitely but not yet long enough for this particular award to vault into legit cred territory. It’s not the worst one out there, and with this year’s attendee list the SDA is gunning for broader appeal by shipping in popular stars. The biggest two has to be Lee … Continue reading →
Ha Ji Won isn’t letting a flopped drama slow her down, and why should she when the flop of The Time I Loved You (K-remake of In Time With You) was all the fault of the terrible script and excessive PPL rather than her performance or chemistry with costar Lee Jin Wook. She’s just started filming the Korean-Chinese joint production movie … Continue reading →
A premiere date has been set for upcoming work place romance C-movie Go Lala Go 2, the sequel to the hit movie about a white collar office girl’s search for professional success and personal commitment. Starring Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou, Bolin Chen, and Nana, the movie will hit the theaters on November 11 which is Singles Days in the country. … Continue reading →
Consider me excited now for upcoming Chinese-Korean collaboration movie Bad Guys Always Die (坏蛋必须死). I really haven’t seen a good collab movie or drama since the groundswell of such projects started in recent years, but this one looks as entertaining as any movie trailer can hope to rope in the general audience. Starring Bolin Chen, Son Ye Jin, Kimi Qiao, … Continue reading →
This news is totally an “excuse me but come again?” reaction goldmine, but also may have a secondary benefit of assuaging the disappointed and/or angry feelings of certain drama fans watching a K-drama remake of a popular TW-drama. Korean and Chinese news is off with a bang this Monday with reports that K-actress Ha Ji Won is categorically denying rumors … Continue reading →
Marie Claire Taiwan has exquisite taste, that’s for sure. For the 22nd anniversary edition, the magazine brought back together real life best friends and Taiwan’s undisputed younger generation movie stars Bolin Chen and Gwei Lun Mei on a tour down a blue memory lane. The two stars got their acting break in the same movie, at the fresh-faced and raw … Continue reading →
Filming is nearly wrapped for upcoming C-movie Go Lala Go 2, the popular novel adaptation of the sequel to the same name hit novel and movie from a few years ago. I’m not complaining that it’s a whole new cast since the three leads are basically three of my favorite Taiwanese entertainers ever in Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou, and Bolin … Continue reading →
