The Close-knit Gorgeous Cast of Someone Like You Hold Drama Finale Fan Meeting

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 23, 2015 by ockoalaMay 24, 2015
Event hosts presenting a decorative item.

I’m not gonna lie or ignore the fact that the last few episodes of TW-drama Someone Like You has basically devolved into a narrative farce. There is heart failure, car accidents, and even multiple comas. But the strange thing is that my affection for this little drama that could remains intact, it’s so earnest and sweet, wanting to keep chugging … Continue reading →

TW-media Reporting Someone Like You Leads Kingone Wang and Kristen Jen May Have Real Life Romance Blossoming

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 29, 2015 by ockoalaApril 29, 2015

I don’t think this news is purely publicity generating for the currently airing TW-drama Someone Like You, the drama has a few more episodes left in its run and has been doing swell enough in ratings. With that said, take this with a grain of salt but feel free to squee about it anyway. TW-media is reporting that insiders on … Continue reading →

Just because I like an actor and actress individually never guarantees they would make a stellar onscreen coupling. Even if they do generate chemistry onscreen, it can be wasted in a terrible story and lead to even more teeth gnashing for me than if they just failed to ignite on contact. That’s why I always remember to say a word … Continue reading →

Someone Like You Presents the Swoony Rain Kiss to Challenge All Drama Rain Kisses

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 19, 2015 by ockoalaApril 19, 2015
Couple sharing a kiss in a romantic moment.

Watching episode 15 of Someone Like You totally makes me hum the chorus from Walk the Moon’s current hit song “Shut Up and Dance”, except I keep chanting shut up and kiss instead LOL. A big shout out thank you to SETTV and drama leads Kingone Wang and Kristen Jen for writing this particular OTP scene and then executing it … Continue reading →

TW-drama Someone Like You Delivers Satisfying Romance in Spades

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2015 by ockoalaApril 18, 2015
Couple kissing under the rain.

Sunday night SETTV drama Someone Like You continues to thrum along nicely, an uncomplicated and sweet little drama featuring two of the most likable leads in a long while. This drama romance also took a long time to get going, with leads Zhan Cheng and Yu Xi finally getting together for the last two episodes. It’s been sweet but I want … Continue reading →

Spop Magazine Features Someone Like You Pretty Leads Kingone Wang and Kristen Jen

Young couple posing playfully for the camera.

I’m still happily watching TW-drama Someone Like You (Chinese title Hearing Happiness). It’s the SETTV Sunday night tent pole drama but feels like the network’s stepchild with how the daily drama Dear Mom and the Friday night new arrival Murphy’s Law of Love are both getting so much more publicity blasts. SLY isn’t a drama that is terribly memorable after … Continue reading →

Someone Like You Subverts the Fanservice Shower Scene by Taking it All the Hilarious Way

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 15, 2015 by ockoalaApril 18, 2015

Goodies have to be shared to taste even yummier and this week’s best treat has got to be the first three minutes of this week’s episode 6 from Sunday night SETTV idol drama Someone Like You (Hearing Happiness). The drama is doing solidly in the ratings with a devoted fanbase, and oddly I’m probably less addicted than I ought to … Continue reading →

SETTV Holds Lunar New Year Party with Plenty of Star Power Attendance

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 15, 2015 by ockoalaFebruary 14, 2015

It’s Lunar New Year on February 19th this year, much later than the usual early February or late January dates during most years. That’s because the Lunar calender only has 30 days in every month so after a few years it gets so out of sync with the seasons and the Gregorian calendar that a month gets added back. That … Continue reading →

Sweet and Silly Someone Like You Makes the Blind Male Lead Do All the Heavy Lifting

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 7, 2015 by ockoalaFebruary 16, 2015

I’ve been watching the latest SETTV drama Someone Like You since it aired but have found nothing to write about til now. It’s not as terrible as Fall in Love with Me but that’s not saying much. SLY is mostly a dense collection of character and narrative tropes that soaks the entire dish in a layer of cheese and whether you … Continue reading →

Taiwan Stars Bring the Glamour for the 2014 SETTV Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 15, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 19, 2014

It’s a bit of a downer to feel so nonchalant about the Taiwan idol dramas of 2014. SETTV dumped a lot of drama hours but overall the buzz seems to have died down. Despite producing one of my all-time faves In a Good Way and really lovely sweet romances in Pleasantly Surprised (Love Myself or You) and Love Cheque Charge, … Continue reading →

The Pretty Faces of SETTV Dramas Playfully Welcome the Holidays for December Spop Magazine

There won’t be any new SETTV drama premiering in Taiwan from here until year end so the network has rolled out its annual Year End Drama Awards which is an audience vote prize that is clearly based on popularity. Other than unexpectedly falling madly in love with the just started In A Good Way, the only other SETTV drama I … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Ending Theme Song MV and Episode 4 Cute BTS

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 8, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 8, 2013

I have a feeling I’m going to be the In A Good Way fairy from here on out, either until the drama ends or it goes off the rails and I jump ship. This thing has a long run ahead of us, what with only 4-episodes aired with a once-a-week-airing not to mention possibly over 20 episodes in length. I’m … Continue reading →

Screencap and MV of the Kick-ass In A Good Way Opening Theme Song

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 7, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 8, 2013

Combining two In A Good Way posts into one is probably a good idea before this place becomes Liu Chuan central. Okay, it kinda already is and who can blame me? He’s perfect, though that’s clearly giving him too much credit since he seems rather love dense. Well maybe not dense since it’s clear he knows he feels something for … Continue reading →
