The final episode of Taiwan’s airing of Sunny Happiness is this Sunday night. I haven’t been keeping up with the TW-airing of SH since I’ve watched the darn drama three times now. I know there were cut scenes from the China airing that were added back for the TW-airing, most notably the entire wedding night scene, but now its been … Continue reading →
I have to admit that as much as I adored Mike He and Janine Chang in Sunny Happiness (one of the best OTPs ever, with incredibly rich co-star chemistry), I don’t actually ship them in real life, nor am I fixated on their characters and unable to move on. But that doesn’t mean I’m not all wistful again whenever I see … Continue reading →
Sunny Happiness, currently the #1 Sunday night TW-drama, isn’t about to take its rating’s crown for granted. Mike He and Janine Chang attended a Sunny Happiness fan meeting yesterday, which coincidentally was the night before the premiere of Drunken to Love You. When asked if he was worried about the upcoming competition, Mike pooh-poohed any such worry, saying that DTLY … Continue reading →
Oh man, I don’t know how I’m going to restrain myself until this drama airs the proper version I want to watch. The Other Shore 1945 with Vic Zhou and Janine Chang released two more trailers, and I’ve translated all the dialogue below the video. Word is that the drama will air in late May in China, and early July … Continue reading →
This post is a complete and utter labor of love. The amount of time it took me to collect all the just released character synopsis and trailers, and then translate it all, stems purely from my love for Vic Zhou and Taiwanese-Chinese history. Vic’s upcoming epic period drama The Other Shore 1945 (彼岸1945, and formerly called Coming Home) wrapped filming in … Continue reading →
It’s been a slow news cycle in terms of me covering Joe Cheng, since Joe’s currently airing TW-drama Channel X is a giant stinker that for the love of Joe I watch week to week and then go rinse my eyes out in saltwater afterwards. Thankfully Channel Crap is ending soon (to be followed by Drunken to Love You), and … Continue reading →
I love Weibo. Weibo is my friend, because it brings me goodies galore. Y’all know I love Zai Zai (Vic Zhou), and his upcoming drama Coming Home is one of my most anticipated dramas of the year. Filming was completed last month, and the drama has headed into post-production. It’s a China-Taiwan collaboration, and I haven’t heard any definitive airdates from either … Continue reading →
My current drama addiction Sunny Happiness has brought a wave of fresh air to the small screen. I think the drama even has a good influence on its two lead actors, as Janine Chang and Mike He went to Singapore last month in February to promote SH looking cheerful and well-rested. They both look so energetic and gorgeous! Mike’s new … Continue reading →
After I did the post on the leading men of Taiwan entertainment (here), it’s only fitting I devote the same attention to showcasing the leading ladies who spark and sizzle with those guys. To be frank, my personal opinion is that the number of good actresses in Taiwan is significantly lower than the number of good actors. But I’ve watched … Continue reading →
Are you watching Sunny Happiness? If you are not, you’re missing out. This drama is well-acted, well-written, ably directed, and has a kick-ass soundtrack. I’m thisclose to saying to heck with it and recapping this sucker from start to finish. It’s that good. Though if I do it, someone needs to send me DL links so I can take screencaps (sigh, … Continue reading →
Who loves Sunny Happiness (幸福最晴天)? I love Sunny Happiness, that’s who! I’ve not been addicted to any drama since 2011 started, until I ran smack dab into a wall of unforeseen couple perfection that is Mike He and Janine Chang. Individually, I’ve liked neither actor (though I also don’t actively dislike them), but collectively, they are my new crack. I’ve … Continue reading →
