A happy news out of TW-ent this week with actress Joanne Tseng and entertainer Calvin Chen announcing that they are expecting their first child. The couple has been married since 2020 in what was a total surprise announcement back then as well, no one even knew they were dating. The couple shared the news of the pregnancy with Joanne posting … Continue reading →
This red carpet for the just held 2020 Taipei Film Awards feels like a wash, I mostly hated the outfits but enjoyed actually seeing some because it’s pretty unexpected. Like, Joanne Tseng‘s lace pantsuit is on par with historical epic fails in every way from cut to fit to sheer fugliness. I don’t know why Ariel Lin decided to come … Continue reading →
This has been a bad winter of global worry and local discontent. It’s nice to take a breather and married TW-stars Joanne Tseng and Calvin Chen got to enjoy the fresh sunshine and outdoors of rural Taiwan recently in lovely pictures posted to her SNS. This couple who tied the knot in January wasn’t even on the radar of stars … Continue reading →
Woah, talk about a surprise and totally out of left field announcement. TW-stars Joanne Tseng and Calvin Chen are married! She announced it on her SNS on lunar new year’s eve that she was now Mrs. Chen, and honestly I didn’t even know they were dating or had ever been linked romantically via the super snoopy Taiwanese paparazzi. Calvin is … Continue reading →
Winning the biggest award of her acting career must feel triply sweet right now for TW-actress Alice Ke. She was the only one of the nominated acting trio of leads in Marry Me or Not to walk away with a win at last weekend’s Golden Bell Awards. Roy Qiu lost both his acting categories and Joanne Tseng also didn’t manage … Continue reading →
The glitziest night of Taiwanese television took place at the 51st annual Golden Bell Awards Friday night in Taipei. I only pay attention for the fashion and if certain TW-dramas or acting talent that I happen to like for that year are nominated, and this year it was all about Marry Me or Not with Roy Qiu and Alice Ke. … Continue reading →
It’s been so long since TW-drama Marry Me or Not finished airing in February of 2016, with the drama going into my keep forever pile with lingering fond memories of how incredibly satisfying it was from start to finish. Now the cast is getting rewarded big time as the drama has garnered six nominations at the just released nominations list … Continue reading →
This Sunday SETTV premieres a new idol drama after wrapping up the highly successful run of Bromance. I normally love cross-dressing hijinks but that particular drama had me in the minority of not digging it. I also like Taiwan drama takes on workplace romances which fits the bill for upcoming Refresh Man. The English title is so random since the … Continue reading →
Okay, this drama looks soooo cute, and in the cute I mean that unique Taiwanese idol drama definition of it. The first substantive teasers are out for upcoming SETTV Sunday night drama Refresh Man, which feels a bit late since the drama premieres this coming Sunday after Bromance finished last week. Refresh Man stars popular singer-actors Aaron Yan and Joanne … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for upcoming SETTV Sunday night drama Refresh Man with Aaron Yan and Joanne Tseng and it brings back all the right feels. It has the same bright effervescence of Just You, the drama with Aaron and Puff Guo which launched them into the top tiers of Taiwan drama stars. It also gives off the earnest … Continue reading →
TW-drama Marry Me or Not wrapped up its compact 15-episode run last Sunday with a nice flourish. A tidy bow if you will, for the OTP at least, and really that’s all I cared about. Roy Qiu made a triumphant return to drama land with this drama and role, his lawyer Justin was hilarious and ever evolving, a man who … Continue reading →
Filming has started for the next SETTV Sunday night drama, which means I can start my countdown to no more Bromance and soon more Aaron Yan and Joanne Tseng. This is the perfect antidote to Marry Me or Not ending next weekend at a sweet and compact 15 episodes, which is something SETTV never ever does even when it has … Continue reading →
I’m so not into Bromance no matter how many people may love it. I’m fine with Baron Chen but Megan Lai has been rubbing me the wrong way with her acting ever since Miss Rose, the way she reads her lines and often looks slightly concussed when trying to act clueless grates for me. I’m waiting for the drama to … Continue reading →
