If my hate for SETTV was able to be transformed into a tangible expression, I would air drop ten tons of cow poop on the network. I am really really sensitive when it comes to drama watching, honed from years of seeing dramas go wonky or stay the course. I trust my gut and my gut tells me the production … Continue reading →
Being addicted to King Flower is like constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. I don’t trust SETTV to be using Terry to pull up the ratings (and episode 16’s rating took an quantum leap and almost broke 2, making it the second highest rated episode to date) while secretly padding the way for an inevitable Guan Jun-Da Hua … Continue reading →
I’m so glad I decided to take a leap of faith and start recapping King Flower. If I didn’t do that, episode 16 would have arrived and I wouldn’t have a regular platform to fully do this episode justice. I screencapped the hell out of this episode and couldn’t decide on which perfect one to use to top the post. … Continue reading →
I shall henceforth always remember this week in drama-lore as “the week it rained kisses in all of Koala’s crack dramas”, or maybe “the week the kisses were all in the rain in Koala’s crack dramas”. Take that as a spoiler for a certain drama episode imma recapping as fast as my fingers can type. Who knew rain could hurt … Continue reading →
Episode 16 of King Flower was so good (minus the completely pointless and random Da Li and Ah Xi scenes at the end) that it deserves an early post discussing the preview for episode 17. I’ll post the additional video previews as its released and the written preview as well when the time comes, but I have to discuss this … Continue reading →
The first half of episode 16 of King Flower was so good I was crying and smiling simultaneously. I would have recapped this sucker already if I didn’t have girlfriends in town to entertain. This episode was one successive revelation after another and everything was fantastically done. Terry came clean with President Du, Qin Mo made his usual Dr. Crazy … Continue reading →
Nearly all TW-dramas make me less invested as it goes on. I can name so many that started off good or great only to peter out by the end, making me care less about the dragged out process of what is essentially courtship leading to marriage between two people. But King Flower is a rarity in that I’ve gotten more … Continue reading →
If Terry and Da Hua are telling each other “fighting” in episode 15 of the increasingly bipolar but still totally addicting King Flower, then who am I to refuse to believe. I believe with my whole heart that SETTV will grow brains, heart, and a pair of balls and steer a drama that has taken on a life of its … Continue reading →
It can either be a positive or negative following along with a live-filmed drama, since behind-the-scenes stuff can be distracting or entertaining depending on the in-and-outs of the production. I bet you donuts to dollars SETTV is all over the map with respect to King Flower. It knows about the overwhelming fan preference for Terry, so it’s working overtime to … Continue reading →
With this restrained yet tour de force performance by Chris Wu in the silliest of all silly TW-dramas, he’s officially in my top 3 TW-actors list. It was always just two guys there for the longest time (Zai Zai and Roy Qiu), but now Chris has earned his way into my affection forever. I will watch him read a phone … Continue reading →
I was dragging my feet translating the previews for episode 15 of King Flower for one reason only – it was pissing me off big time. Now both the Taiwan and China fans are up in arms over how the writer is forcing Lin Guan Jun down on throats, but in the process only making him more of a despicable … Continue reading →
Never fear, I’m still recapping King Flower. It hasn’t pissed me off to the extent I’m forced to stop recapping for the sake of my sanity (see Miss Rose), though episode 14 was by and large a narrative throwaway. But the preview for episode 15? Holy cow the shit is about to hit the fan, and I for one want … Continue reading →
Episode 14 of King Flower might be called The Episode Where Da Hua Finally Gets a Clue. Or it could be called The Episode Where Terry Gets Naked and Da Hua Unwittingly Paws Him. Or really this episode ought to be called The Episode Where King Flower Might Actually Get Back on Track. There are no signs that the writer … Continue reading →
