Life may be unfair and we aren’t all gifted with Janine Chang‘s legs that go on for infinity, but at least the lady herself is a class act I enjoy watching onscreen as an actress who continually challenges herself and improves in every drama she’s done. For the Fall collection of Edwin Jeans, Janine squeezes herself into the skin tight … Continue reading →
The cross-border drama train never ceases to chug these days, which feeds into my addiction since I watch dramas from so many countries. Currently in China filming a period early-Republic drama is Jo Hyun Jae on the set of Rouge Hegemon, supposedly coming for a C-movie is Yoon Eun Hye for Tong Que Tai, and now a third Korean actor … Continue reading →
Sunday nights in Taiwan is set for the next two months or so, with Office Girls, In Time With You, and now Ring Ring Bell all premiering one after another and in it for the long haul of head-to-head competition.

There hasn’t been a single misstep in anything I’ve seen from the upcoming TW-drama Ring Ring Bell with Peter Ho and Janine Chang. I just like everything I’ve seen, from stills to all three teaser trailers. The latest one gives a glimpse of second male lead Xiu Jie Ke, who is a mighty fine actor and scene stealer in drama … Continue reading →
I confess that I’m going to have a hard time deciding which drama to watch first every Sunday night once Ring Ring Bell premieres against In Time With You. Each teaser snippet of Peter Ho and Janine Chang makes me smile giddily with a doofy grin on my face. The drama itself looks like an Autumn’s Concerto without the whole … Continue reading →

The drama is currently gearing up for its early October premiere on Sundays on CTS. I’m really coming around with the thought of giving … Continue reading →
Why don’t K-dramas do this, reuniting OTP for cameo roles? I swear Mike He and Janine Chang are my drama OTP id come to life. A decade of TW-idol dramas, and my vote is on the Mike-Janine pairing as hands down the prettiest OTP ever going by looks alone. It’s a testament to their onscreen chemistry that I shipped Yun … Continue reading →

I was totally not expecting this drama to move this fast into production when I posted a few weeks ago that Janine Chang and Peter Ho have been tapped as the leads of the upcoming TW-drama Xiao Xian’s Beautiful Life (see post here). Today came the official confirmation that the drama starts filming in two days, and the title and … Continue reading →
