There is the saying that a great opportunity occurs by happenstance and can’t be sought out. It means if one tries to force things it won’t happen, and oftentimes the best things come when one least expects it. In the acting world, actors have been known to apply the saying to perfect roles can only be lucked into. We’ve all encountered … Continue reading →
Freedom means something different to everyone but the meaning of the word resonates no matter how tied down or free a person is in life. It’s a genuine rarity to find a thoughtful and carefully written TW-drama like In a Good Way but all good things must come to an end. As viewers we still have a few episodes left … Continue reading →
Despite being in the thick of live filming for their popular SETTV drama In a Good Way, drama leads Kirsten Jen and Lego Lee jetted off to Hong Kong for a few days this week to attend the Hong Kong International Film Festival, which doesn’t showcase just movies but also television programs. Taiwan dramas have always has a solid footing … Continue reading →
There is a Chinese saying that “a bat knocks over an entire boatload of people”, meaning the power of something is just so great or the effect so unexpectedly vast. I think Lego Lee‘s skyrocketing popularity since In A Good Way started airing feels a bit like that. He’s always been adorable, a pretty decent actor, I’ve like him but … Continue reading →
Oh noes, not another male lead fallen to the dreaded back injury! Last year Jung Kyung Ho injured his back towards the end of filming Cruel City and the poor guy endured through the drama wrapping before getting treatment. The first on set injury this year comes out of Taiwan as Lego Lee‘s old lumbar injury has flared up and … Continue reading →
It’s understandable that Lego Lee is the breakout star of In A Good Way and has reaped the most attention from the cast of the drama. Who the heck doesn’t love Liu Chuan? It’s harder to write female leads and Kirsten Jen‘s Jia En has taken me awhile to fully embrace, and it’s also clear Kirsten needed a bit more time … Continue reading →
It’s not a stretch to say SETTV had the best outing among all the TW-networks in terms of raking in the dough from dramas in 2013. With Lunar New Year right around the corner, the network held it’s annual Year End Party (尾牙) this past Friday that brought together 1600 of its employees from corporate to production to famous stars … Continue reading →
Who’s having a birthday! Not so baby boy anymore Lego Lee is who! Smack in the middle of the hottest drama of his career in In A Good Way, Lego celebrated his 28th birthday on January 19th with 100 of his fans. He paid for the fan party himself and despite the 7000 fans who wanted to attend only 100 … Continue reading →
This is a bit like a wayback machine but the leads of In A Good Way have been red hot ever since the drama premiered two months ago so it’s adorable to find their more low key promotional pics from before the drama aired. Nowadays the fans and the press are itching to scrutinize every interaction between Lego Lee and … Continue reading →
I find myself heaving a sigh of relief that the red hot success of In A Good Way hasn’t affected both its casting chemistry or its story narrative. What’s happened so far with all the characters comes across as planned in advance rather than any wonky rewriting on the fly going on. This past weekend the cast gathered with over … Continue reading →
A very Merry Christmas to everyone and good tidings leading into the new year! I’m happy to send 2013 off even if there are currently two dramas that own my heart. Both dramas could start 2014 off with a bang or end up my first disappointment of the year but at least it’s making me exceeding happy right now. In … Continue reading →
I wish I could unsee this but it’s seared into my brain now that Lego Lee can clearly self-uglify to the point where I wanted to stage an intervention. This weekend SETTV held its own drama awards to fete its big ratings dramas and popular actors and actresses from 2013. Because In A Good Way just started airing the drama … Continue reading →
I don’t know what’s more awkward in this picture above? Kirsten Jen trying to dance climb her In A Good Way leading man Lego Lee, or the fact that while she is doing so her older sister Selena Jen is right there behind her? In terms of fame for the Jen sisters, its no shade on Kirsten to say that … Continue reading →
