Fond Remembrance of the Taiwan Idol Drama Actors of the 2000’s Era

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 7, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 7, 2018
Two young men posing outdoors playfully.

Maybe it’s the fall weather and the recent seismic shift in Asian drama viewing options but I’m in a nostalgic mood and one of the classic eras that passed naturally was the Taiwan idol dramas of the 2000s. Starting from Meteor Garden which was remade by a new cast this year in 2018 who may have just been born when … Continue reading →

Alice Ke and Kun Da Hold Star-studded Wedding Reception in Taipei

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 16, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019

I so appreciate seeing a lovely but also practical wedding march for Taiwanese acting stars Alice Ke and Kun Da. Earlier this year they got married legally by getting their wedding license since both were busy working and could not find time for a full blown ceremony. Now nine months later they finally got around to having a lovely wedding … Continue reading →

New C-drama Reunites Joe Cheng and Jiro Wang from It Started with a Kiss

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 11, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 11, 2014

Nearly a decade after the TW-version of It Started with a Kiss launched the careers of leads Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin, a reunion from that drama is in the works but sadly doesn’t involve the OTP. Joe will be starring in a new big-budget C-drama Single and Together (只因單身在一起) with C-actress Xu Lu and his ISWAK costar Jiro Wang. … Continue reading →

Fabulous Boys Premieres this Sunday and Releases 15-minute Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2013 by ockoalaMay 11, 2013

I have no idea why I’m even following along with Fabulous Boys, the Taiwanese remake of the Hong Sisters cracktastic K-drama You’re Beautiful. The original wasn’t a drama I loved wholeheartedly though I was crazy addicted when it initially aired, along with a good chunk of the online drama viewing world. The Japanese remake Ikemen desu ne was actually not … Continue reading →

Official Stills and Trailers for Fabulous Boys with Jiro Wang Premiering May 12th on GTV

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 2, 2013 by ockoalaMay 2, 2013

I wasn’t expecting this until the Summer, but looks like GTV wants to bring out some familiar big guns to try and rescue its prolonged period of bad ratings for Sunday night. The Taiwanese drama adaptation of You’re Beautiful has been given the English title of Fabulous Boys and is premiering on May 12th on GTV. That means Spring Love … Continue reading →

Stellar Drama Go Go Go Wraps Up with a Satisfying Happy Ending

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 26, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 25, 2013

I’m used to the 2-episode a week format for K-dramas, and the even more painful 1-episode a week format for TW-dramas and J-doramas. But when it comes to C-dramas, I’ve been spoiled on the 5-episode a week format so much that watching 2-episodes a weekend of Drama Go Go Go has been so so so painful because the drama has … Continue reading →

First Teaser for TW-version of You re Beautiful with Jiro Wang and Su Li Wen

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2013

I don’t know how Taiwan dramas move so fast when it comes to filming. The TW-version of You’re Beautiful started filming late last year and already a 3-minute teaser is out. Starring Jiro Wang and newbie Su Li Wen (who reminds me of a cross between Joanne Zheng and young Ariel Lin), this version comes a year after Japan already … Continue reading →

First Stills from the Taiwan Remake of You’re Beautiful

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 20, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 20, 2012

We’ve got the first peek at the leads in the Taiwan adaptation of You’re Beautiful starring Jiro Wang and newbie actress Su Li Wen. Above is Su Li Wen dressed like a nun-in-training and posing with Park Shin Hye, who cameos in the first scene at the church. Apparently she’s the one who is listening to music very loudly, heh. … Continue reading →

Ruby Lin and Jiro Wang Sizzle in Photo Shoot Promoting Drama Go Go Go

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 28, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 27, 2012

Man, being totally caught up on Drama Go Go Go totally sucks sucks sucks (btw, this triplicate thingie is addicting and I can’t stop doing it anytime I write about DGGG so my apologies to grammar sticklers out there). I finished this past weekend’s episodes 7-8 and my mood was stuck somewhere between anxious and satisfied. The pace of the … Continue reading →

Download Links for the Addicting Theme Songs from the Brilliant Drama Go Go Go

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 24, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 26, 2012

I love love love Drama Go Go Go. I’m all caught up to episode 6 (with episodes 7-8 airing this weekend) and this drama remains the funniest, sweetest, most sane cracky rom-com I’ve seen since Sunny Happiness. The lead characters are all totally functional, smart, sassy, and thoughtful people who make decisions that all make sense and are relatable. Ruby … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye to Cameo in Taiwan Version of You’re Beautiful with Jiro Wang

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 17, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2012

Seriously, Taiwan? You had to get on this bandwagon as well? You couldn’t have just left what was pretty swell alone and had to stick your foot in the game? I heard this news in a roundabout way actually – I found out that Park Shin Hye quietly flew to Taiwan this week to film a cameo appearance in the … Continue reading →

First Impressions: Drama Go Go Go with Ruby Lin and Jiro Wang is a Triple Win

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 12, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 12, 2012

I’ll make a prediction now – Drama Go Go Go (姐姐立正向前走) either will become the best C-drama rom-com of 2012 or will have a flaming second half melt down. Either way, I’ve checked out the first four episodes of this 2-episode a weekend drama and I am completely and utterly in love. DGGG is even better than even the fantastic … Continue reading →
