New TW-drama alert, and this coming hot on the heels of Rainie Yang filming her first drama in three years and Joe Cheng‘s drama coming soon, I think an old school revival is headed our way. Mike He just started filming a new TW-drama called Bravely Say I Love You for the cable network CTI and will mark their first self-produced … Continue reading →
In a low-key and unsurprising development, Mike He celebrated his birthday recently and revealed that he’s been exempt from Taiwan’s mandatory military service, making him the last of the group of male idol stars including Joe Cheng, Ethan Ruan, and Ming Dao who delayed their service until the very end of the age limit. While the other three all served … Continue reading →
I haven’t seen either of these hot namjas in awhile, and it’s rather serendipitous that they both have a Rainie Yang shared connection and happened to show up the same brand event at different spots on the same week. I guess I’m trying to say – it’s totally not random at all to do a joint post on Joseph Chang … Continue reading →
That was easy – with one picture I’ve been sold on the upcoming new drama pairing of Ady An and Mike He. They are seriously adorable without being cloying. It is the first time working together for these two though collectively they have been in a good third of major Taiwan idol dramas if you add it all up. Mike … Continue reading →
After a long four year hiatus from Taiwan idol dramas, Ady An is headed back to the island where she was last seen on the small screen in a little known monster hit called Autumn’s Concerto, which made amnesia and a certain little Xiao Xiao Bin popular. Since then Ady has been starring in C-drama after C-drama, a good mix … Continue reading →
Two Mike He‘s for the price of one? I’ll take that…..only if the drama is actually any good. If its dreck like Love Keeps Going, I’ll toss both Mikes back into the ocean in a heartbeat. Since doing LKG last Spring, Mike has done a family-themed C-drama that is currently airing in China and getting solid ratings, but its dubbed … Continue reading →
Whenever I travel around Asia I love to watch network television not for the programs but for the CFs. The commercials are always fun and colorful, and also gives me a better idea of who and what is popular. Mike He has been notably absent from TW-dramas for the past year since he wrapped Love Keeps Going (so bad I … Continue reading →
Joe Cheng turned thirty this week and guess who was there to celebrate with him? None other than his best bro Mike He. They posted a picture of them back-to-back tipping some wine, which of course got their fans excited (and likely fuels the flames of those pesky rumors yet again). Joe hasn’t just been celebrating turning the big 3-0, last … Continue reading →
Ella’s wedding is fast approaching, and her star couldn’t be shining any brighter. She just had a hit movie last month with Zai Zai, and already she’s off promoting her upcoming movie Bad Girls with Mike He. The movie comes out in April and is billed as a rom-com where Ella plays a high school tough girl who gets roped … Continue reading →
Before Ella filmed Perfect Two with Vic Zhou last Summer, she actually filmed another movie first, but said movie is getting a later release date. Pairing up with Mike He, Ella plays the titular head of the Bad Girls, a group of high school rough and tumble girls who form a gang to protect their little village from nefarious elements. … Continue reading →
Apple Daily released its list of the top ten money-making Taiwanese entertainers in 2011, five from each gender. The results are interesting purely from a curiosity perspective, since how much I like an actress or actor has no correlation to how much money they bring in. Nicky Wu leads the pack amongst all the male Taiwanese actors, with all his … Continue reading →
Party in the USA! Er, oops, wrong song. I mean Party in Taipei! Apple Daily held a star-studded party yesterday, not quite sure it was for any reason other than to get all the stars together for some fun times. The Golden Bell Awards is tomorrow, so maybe this was a pre-party of sorts? Either way, there were so many … Continue reading →
Rumor has it that Mike He will be enlisting soon for his mandatory military service, so the newspapers are quick to report that he’s going out with a bang with his upcoming photo book Le Retour du Sud de la France. As the title gives away, Mike went to the South of France for the photo shoot, confirming for me … Continue reading →
