Lead Cast of The Fierce Wife Reunite After 5 Years with Everyone Now Married

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The older I get the more nostalgic I am, a sentiment that applies to dramas as well. Older dramas I loved appear even more wonderful through the rear view mirror, and I have a super soft spot for reunions and whatnots, even if it’s something that I didn’t watch the first time around. The cast of the 2010 hit SETTV … Continue reading →

SETTV Holds Lunar New Year Party with Plenty of Star Power Attendance

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

It’s Lunar New Year on February 19th this year, much later than the usual early February or late January dates during most years. That’s because the Lunar calender only has 30 days in every month so after a few years it gets so out of sync with the seasons and the Gregorian calendar that a month gets added back. That … Continue reading →

SETTV Features Aim High Male Leads Lego Lee and Chris Wang in Bed for Spop Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

SETTV is really pulling at straws to try and sell the half-baked Friday night idol drama Aim High. It’s nowhere near the ratings of Pleasantly Surprised or the critical buzz of In a Good Way. I tried the first episode and hated it from beginning to end. It’s such a shame because I love Lego Lee and like Chris Wang very … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

It’s a bit of a downer to feel so nonchalant about the Taiwan idol dramas of 2014. SETTV dumped a lot of drama hours but overall the buzz seems to have died down.

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Chris Wang is one of those TW-actors who are pleasant to watch but never grip me. He’s all earnest pleasant lines without any hurts so good edges.

That happened … Continue reading →

SETTV has had more hits than misses for me this year.

Pretty people playing interesting characters with a story line that doesn’t insult my intelligence, where do I sign up … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I wish I could unsee this but it’s seared into my brain now that Lego Lee can clearly self-uglify to the point where I wanted to stage an intervention. This weekend SETTV held its own drama awards to fete its big ratings dramas and popular actors and actresses from 2013. Because In A Good Way just started airing the drama … Continue reading →

I hope these two walk down the red carpet and put a ring on their five year relationship soon, because it’s sure to be the most high profile Taiwanese celebrity wedding of this new century and every single Taiwanese celebrity will be in attendance. Ethan Ruan jetted to Milan right after he was released from serving a year of mandatory … Continue reading →
