A very Merry Christmas to everyone and good tidings leading into the new year! I’m happy to send 2013 off even if there are currently two dramas that own my heart. Both dramas could start 2014 off with a bang or end up my first disappointment of the year but at least it’s making me exceeding happy right now. In … Continue reading →
SETTV is a bunch of evil mean trolls because the video preview at the end of In A Good Way episode 6 for episode 7 was such weaksauce compared to the one that just came out today. Holy moly I can’t wait for what’s coming! A game of truth or dare? Jia En and Liu Chuan having skinship during a … Continue reading →
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 →
Lego Lee has kinda got himself into a pickle while us fans of In A Good Way can start rubbing our hands together in glee. At last week’s SETTV celebration event, Lego vowed that when the drama ratings broke 3 he and other male lead Jay Shih would ride their old-school motorcycles used in the drama from the network headquarters … Continue reading →
There is such a lovely romantic simplicity to In A Good Way. All this talk of Christmas parties and dancing and makeovers are really quaint but I enjoy watching it so much because it all occurs in the still formative years of a bunch of college students. Some are more worldly than others, but still its very entertaining to see … Continue reading →
We’re a few hours away from a new episode of In A Good Way and the written preview only recently dropped. SETTV is being so coy with information about what everyone wants to know – will Jia En discover that Liu Chuan is her online confidante 3631, and more importantly, will Liu Chuan out himself and dance with Jia En … Continue reading →
I don’t know what’s more awkward in this picture above? Kirsten Jen trying to dance climb her In A Good Way leading man Lego Lee, or the fact that while she is doing so her older sister Selena Jen is right there behind her? In terms of fame for the Jen sisters, its no shade on Kirsten to say that … Continue reading →
The two leads of In A Good Way the adorable Lego Lee and Kristen Jen joined the other two currently airing SETTV idol dramas at the network headquarters this week for a celebration of the success of the three dramas. The other two are Deja Vu airing on Sunday nights with Mandy Wei, Yao Yuan Hao, and Jenna Wang and the daily … Continue reading →
I don’t know how In A Good Way keeps packing so much punch with utter ease. Every episode gives me multiple scenes to re-visit, endless discussions to mull over, and infinite squee-worthy looks between the OTP to swoon over. Sometimes I wonder if Kirsten Jen and Lego Lee are falling out of character, especially during the BTS the way they look … Continue reading →
Sometimes I wish drama titles could be translated literally because it usually has a much more visceral meaning in the original language. In A Good Way is the English drama title but the Chinese title is Our Era of Freedom. The era part connotes both the period setting, bringing audiences today back to their own past and an era of … Continue reading →
I really love watching the weekly BTS footage at the end of each new episode of In A Good Way. When the cast gets along and has fun, not to mention the drama is really good, then the BTS becomes a veritable gold mine of laughs and interesting chemistry to spot everywhere. I haven’t stayed around to watch every detail … Continue reading →
I think the excitement over how awesome In A Good Way was right off the bat caused some delirium on my part and now I’m slowly talking myself down that high so that I can handle the long journey with this drama and not jump my own shark. Episode 5 continued the steady ratings increase by hitting 2.17 among the … Continue reading →
The written preview for episode 5 of In A Good Way came out really late this week but its here now so I’m happy again. Knowing the drama has time jumped a year to 1996, I keep going back through my memory rolodex of what was going on that year in Taiwan. Aside from the popular songs and cultural milestones, … Continue reading →
