Oh yeah, can I have a hoot hoot! I want to see Liu Chuan or Jia En explain away that hug, which is neither in a darkened concert or at the behest of a rock star telling everyone to engage in a hug-a-thon. Episode 14 of In A Good Way is right around the corner and the anticipation is building … Continue reading →
The first video preview is out for episode 14 of In A Good Way and it’s as full of angst and woe as anticipated. Liu Chuan stands at the center of the woe-storm but the ripples fan out and affect everyone who cares about him. Bai Xue and Liu Chuan’s awkwardness for the last few episodes might just get washed … Continue reading →
I’m not going to sugar coat what a major letdown episode 13 of In A Good Way turned out to be. All the fantastic momentum of episode 12 was sucked into a twin vortex of expulsion woe plus interrupted confession tension. If either had worked out well then I wouldn’t be as peeved, but with neither plot thread unfolding in … Continue reading →
It’s In A Good Way Friday! It’s been such a slow drama week I was in danger of falling into a stupor. Now that the promise of more Jia En and Liu Chuan goodness is right around the corner, I’m all bright eyed and bushy tailed, standing at attention waiting for the cuteness to hit. Last week’s episode 12 is … Continue reading →
I try to refrain from overusing the word awesome but nothing quite describes episode 12 of In A Good Way as much as screaming out “It was so awesome!!!” and then making victory fist pumps. The Taiwan domestic audience thought so as well and after sitting in the 2s for the last ten episodes the drama surged dramatically and broke … Continue reading →
Best episode of In A Good Way so far? Oh you betcha! To begin with, when the title song started playing I almost got teary-eyed from the undeniable realization that even with just one week off I missed In A Good Way so much. The entire cast of characters have become like friends I hang out with once a week. … Continue reading →
It’s understandable that Lego Lee is the breakout star of In A Good Way and has reaped the most attention from the cast of the drama. Who the heck doesn’t love Liu Chuan? It’s harder to write female leads and Kirsten Jen‘s Jia En has taken me awhile to fully embrace, and it’s also clear Kirsten needed a bit more time … Continue reading →
I have no clue how Lego Lee is able to princess carry his In A Good Way co-star Kirsten Jen. She’s incredibly thin for her height but she’s one tall girl and about as tall as Lego. Now I need to see more of that man flexing either in the drama or the BTS because his fitness quotient is clearly … Continue reading →
I had promised to bring some popular Taiwan drama OST downloads and time and memory got away from me but late is better than never. Here’s the promised post with the official full length release of the theme and ending songs for SETTV‘s two popular Friday night dramas – the just finished Just You and the currently airing In A … Continue reading →
It’s not a stretch to say SETTV had the best outing among all the TW-networks in terms of raking in the dough from dramas in 2013. With Lunar New Year right around the corner, the network held it’s annual Year End Party (尾牙) this past Friday that brought together 1600 of its employees from corporate to production to famous stars … Continue reading →
The bad news is that next week’s episode 12 is preempted for a Lunar New Year special of In A Good Way, but the good news is that episode 11 didn’t end on an angsty cliffhanger moment. Episode 11 was shorter in length clearly to draw out the protest conflict and save the great cameo-laden campus concert for the next … Continue reading →
A few housekeeping items about In A Good Way first before getting to the good stuff about the upcoming episode 11. Next Friday’s episode 12 will be preempted for Lunar New Year so the network is airing a special instead and episode 12 will air the following week on February 7th. Let’s hope episode 11 doesn’t end on a raging … Continue reading →
There is never a bad time for more In A Good Way, right? This drama is my little pick-me-up and each episode always provides a scene or three that I can re-watch over and over. One of my faves happens to be the Liu Chuan-Jia En Taipei motorcycle ride and subsequent Wu Bai and China Blue concert in episode 3, so … Continue reading →
