As King Flower winds down, I’m trying to reach a state of zen whereby however this baby ends isn’t going to leave me a mess. I’m talking angry mess if Lin Guan Jun somehow gets a girl not named Hu Xiao Fei (because, let’s face it, even if he doesn’t get Da Hua, I hesitate to sic him on any … Continue reading →
I’ve going to miss writing about King Flower. The recaps while swooning over Terry, the venting over the narrative impasse and the emotional misdirections, the preview translations that give me hope only to dash it when the episode airs. It’s been an exhilarating roller coaster ride and I sure hope I don’t barf when I get off when it pulls … Continue reading →
This might be the penultimate episode of King Flower but I have no clue because SETTV hasn’t confirmed if next week’s episode 20 will be the finale though it sure looks like it. I can’t believe it’s been almost 6 months since this drama premiered. Initially I watched casually and almost stopped around episode 5. Then the final 10 minutes … Continue reading →
One of the reasons King Flower is such an easy watch for me is that I absolutely adore its sountrack. Every song, every instrumental, this drama just hit all my happy nodes with its song selection. Sadly its one of SETTV‘s lower rated Sunday night dramas in recent years so I doubt it’ll get a full OST release. *pouts and … Continue reading →
Well well well, it looks like next week may indeed be the last episode of King Flower. *Sobs* As much as this drama was cray cray, I’ll be so sad to see it go. It’s been such a long time since a TW-drama hook me this hard, and the addiction lasting all the way until the end. I noticed some … Continue reading →
I said SETTV probably put Chao Chun Ya in a time out last week for accidentally (purposely?) leaking a page from the script, but I think he deserves a flogging. It has caused a ripple effect across King Flower fandom and now the viewers resemble a bunch of zombies lurching away just waiting for the inevitable apocalypse to finish us … Continue reading →
King Flower crack feels like those old after-school special commercials. This is your brain on KF crack, accompanied by the image of an egg sizzling on the frying pan. Will I be able to pick myself up after experiencing this wild drama filled with ups and downs? Most assuredly, for every single brain-dead line of dialogue to come out of … Continue reading →
I had an epiphany today when watching episode 18 of King Flower. It was an amazing moment of clarity made all the funnier because of how crazy this drama is. This episode confirmed for me that it no longer matters how it ends and which guy Da Hua picks. I finally realized there is some method to the writer’s madness … Continue reading →
Being addicted to Terry King Flower is so frustrating because it’s like trying to train a beloved puppy to shake hands. You keep pointing to the paw and saying shake, and sometimes the pooch wags his tail, other times it cocks the head, and sometimes it licks your face. That all good and cute, really very very cute, but that’s … Continue reading →
When I saw the still above (and the preview snippet containing that scene), I fairly squealed in giddiness and annoyance (yes, I know its contradictory) that King Flower dang stole the cutest first date ever of Zi Qi and Xing Ren at Tamsui in episode 12 of Office Girls. In the KF version, Terry grabs Da Hua’s hand and eats … Continue reading →
Big Flower alert! I need extra eyes on this one, so heeeeeelp me chingus. Filming wrapped on King Flower yesterday for leads James Wen, Nikki Hsieh, along with secondary leads Yao Yao and MC40. James posted the above picture celebrating the wrap of filming with some genuine happy posing. From the backdrop it looks like this scene was shot by … Continue reading →
Word on the street is that King Flower has wrapped filming, or at least wrapped for most people. Not certain but this sounds about right. Up next is George Hu and Annie Chen’s True Love Black & White Pair airing sometime in June, and I give KF a few weeks lead on filmed footage in the can. I wish I … Continue reading →
Chris Wu in that purple sweater – could anyone concentrate because I sure couldn’t. Any scene with Chris as Terry continues to be so sublime and perfect it defies logic, especially since SETTV is pretty much resorting to repetition to fill time and not make any commitments right now as to how the ending while shake out. It’s doing so to … Continue reading →
