Two friends taking a selfie at an airport.

I don’t even know how to book flights nowadays because of quarantine restrictions for arrivals at so many places. Sigh, the looming dream of travel must continue to wait.

Someone on the Netflix Asia team deserves a raise for smartly and oddly pairing up two very similar entertainment stars from different countries for a new show.

I’ve got one final batch of drama stills to share, courtesy of GTV for wrapping up its TW-drama Before We Get Married (We Can Not Be Friends) with more goodies to slowly ease fans off the withdrawal now that we don’t have new episodes to look forward to every Friday. I thought another episode could be merited but then the … Continue reading →

It’s been a short and long 13-weeks watching live to TW-drama Before We Get Married (We Cannot Be Friends) which ended this Friday just as my summer is coming to a close. I want to thank this fantastic drama and leads Jasper Liu and Puff Guo for bringing me back to crack TW-drama land and also elevating everything I’ve liked … Continue reading →

Happy Ending in Sight as TW-drama Before We Get Married Coasts into Final Episode on Friday

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 21, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 20, 2019
Bride and groom gazing at each other.

Taiwan dramas prioritize satisfaction over surprises the way K-dramas love to end episodes on cliffhangers and sometimes focuses on that at the expense of smoother storytelling. TW-drama Before We Get Married got me back on the motherland train after three years of not seeing any TW-dramas of interest to me. This one reunited Puff Guo and Jasper Liu and upgraded … Continue reading →

Jasper Liu Shares New Pic with Lee Seung Gi and Yoo Yeon Seok as He Continues to Collect K-star Friends

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 3, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 3, 2019
Three smiling friends posing together indoors.

I’m quite amused with how popular Jasper Liu (Liu Yi Hao) is in South Korea now. He conquered Japan early on his career and I could see his offbeat and sweet nature appealing to the Japanese fans. But I didn’t quite envision he would one day be perhaps the most popular Taiwanese actor to the South Korean netizens. He’s also … Continue reading →

The currently airing TW-drama Before We Get Married is also being simul-streamed in China and that’s led to a fast rising popularity for male lead Jasper Liu. The first country outside of Taiwan where he got popular was in Japan for his dorkiness, later came South Korea after the melo movie More Than Blue, and now he’s conquering the Mainland … Continue reading →

If the leads of Before We Get Married don’t get together soon imma not going to throw a table, I’ll just switch all my attention to best friend Ke Fei and best little sister Zi Ting. I can handle the conflicting emotions of Wei Wei and no I don’t want her to end an engagement and toss her boyfriend of … Continue reading →

Temptation Becomes Real Emotional Attachment in Episodes 5-6 of TW-drama Before We Get Married

Sorry for skipping out last week on my commentary for currently airing Friday night TW-drama Before We Get Married. It’s my crackiest of crack dramas going on right now but the last two episodes were slower and denser than usual so I’m glad my busy life delay led to reviewing it together because it feels like a 1-2 punch. Ke … Continue reading →

OTP Attraction Spills Over in Episode 4 of Before We Get Married with Annoying Exes Even more Annoying

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 28, 2019 by ockoalaJune 28, 2019
Two people in a karaoke booth setting.

I don’t think TW-drama Before We Get Married is making any statement about cheating being wrong or okay in certain cases. It’s purely about letting two beautiful people wildly attracted to each other try to keep apart and failing miserably, because there isn’t the right reasons to stay with their current partners. Ke Huan’s girlfriend manages to out-cray cray herself … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 20, 2019 by ockoalaJune 19, 2019
Two people in a karaoke booth setting.

There’s a mixed reaction to TW-drama Before We Get Married with the domestic audience, it’s a cult hit with all valid criticisms. Leading lady Puff Guo‘s acting remains at the level from when she last worked with male lead Jasper Liu (Liu Yi Hao) while he’s improved leaps and bounds and it shows, but to an addicted viewers that doesn’t … Continue reading →
