I truly savor the opportunity to watch each new episode of Drunken to Love You. I feel like I’m peeking into the most tender of love stories, so down-to-earth yet so magical. While Rainie Yang‘s acting continues to amaze me, it’s really Joseph Chang‘s Song Jie Xiu that’s running away with this drama (and all the ladies hearts). Episode 8 … Continue reading →
I want everyone to just scream out loud – Song Jie Xiu, you are DAEBAK! Yeah, that felt great. Somewhere along the way, perhaps when Jie Xiu sketched his first wild boar girl picture, this man showed us all what drama leading men can and ought to be, and not what we hope they can become after they meet the … Continue reading →
Dui bu qi. Miahne. Gomen. Sorry to all the Drunkeners out there for this later than usual recap. Yes, I do feel bad when I don’t post on my usual schedule. It was a long weekend here in Koalalandia, plus another drama about a pretend marriage exploded in insane shippiness. So perfect, wonderful, reliable Drunken to Love You took a … Continue reading →
Drunken to Love You is just such an exquisite drama, one that marinates in real emotional build-up, taking the viewer from watching two strangers meet to understanding how they could fall in love. I hope this week’s episode doesn’t end with another high-blood pressure inducing cliffhanger. It’s been a tough week waiting to see whether Avril’s evil plot worked. I … Continue reading →
I felt like last week every Drunken to Love You watcher turned into an impatient voyeur as we clamored for a certain upcoming scene to arrive in episode 6. But like the proverbial double-edged sword, while we got what we wanted (still fanning myself as we speak), we also got a corresponding dose of cold water poured on our OTP. … Continue reading →
Seriously, if these two people got any cuter as a couple I might actually fursplode into a real Koala simply by staring at them, the way Jacob goes all wolfy in the novels-which-shant-be-named. Rainie Yang and Joseph Chang attended a Drunken to Love You fan meeting at Taipei’s Mitsukoshi department store this weekend, showing up wearing a couple’s outfit, which … Continue reading →
Knowing how hard and how intensely Jie Xiu and Xiao Ru loved Avril and Yi Xian, respectively, it makes my toes curl when I consider how deeply they will fall in love each other. And what’s even better is that they realize how special the other person is because they’ve been through the crap pile of love that Avril and … Continue reading →
I have no idea how that picture above got to be the post topper. Nope, no clue. My lusty alter ego must have done it. All I know is that if Drunken to Love You pulls another bait-and-switch on us or Avril goes and interrupts the happy sexy times between Xiao Ru and Jie Xiu, I’m sharpening my knives for … Continue reading →
This was a markedly slow episode, low on the zany antics and fast-paced story progression, but high on the rich emotional forward momentum. The ending of this episode also guaranteed that each and every single Drunken to Love You addict would be gnawing on our right arm for next week when we get to episode 6 which promises us, in … Continue reading →
If you watch Drunken to Love You carefully, you’ll notice that Jie Xiu and Xiao Ru are not the stereotypical bickering opposites attract type of couple. They don’t always argue, and when they butt heads, it’s not because of selfishness, it’s because they are looking out for the other person. Jie Xiu pushes Xiao Ru to get over Yi Xian, … Continue reading →
It’s such a shame that Drunken to Love You airs only once a week, because the interminable wait between episodes feels like a month rather than 7 days. I love the drama’s pace – taking important plot developments and moving through each one briskly and efficiently, and lavishing the slower moments for developing the relationship between the Jie Xiu and … Continue reading →
This was a good episode, wasn’t it? Somehow the writer(s) of Drunken to Love You understand how to balance the exaggerated narrative moments with the incredibly poignant quiet scenes that tie the drama together into a unique package. Episode 4 hit another ratings high at 3.34, and the drama takes the OTP from comfortable bickering and chill time into working … Continue reading →
Oh this is priceless. Looks like peeps over at CTV heard the chatter about their ridiculous written previews (or shall I call them written recaps), because the preview for episode 4 of Drunken to Love You is witty but comparatively succinct. Part of me goes yay, part of me goes nay. What can I say? I’m a complicated person. … Continue reading →
