Kyaaaaaaaaaaa! Roy Qiu and Megan Lai finally did it! They finally do a promotion for Miss Rose where they look like they are having chemistry with each other. This is such a funny running joke to me, because onscreen they are OTP forever and forever with chemistry aplenty, but off screen Megan goofs around all the time with second male … Continue reading →
Happy birthday, Roy! Can I just say that my honey is ON FIRE in episode 12 of Miss Rose. In fact, this may be one of the best episodes yet. But then the preview for episode 13 shows me this show is nowhere near peaking and even more awesomeness is around the corner. Can I time travel to next Sunday? … Continue reading →
I’m going to have to steel myself for some noble idiocy coming up in Miss Rose, but I’m hoping its short-lived and works well to push Si Yi to confront her growing feelings for Cheng Kuan and figure out what that means. I think our intrepid Miss Rose is herself at a stage where many issues are converging and she … Continue reading →
I now own a giant poster of Roy Qiu I don’t know what to do with (see above where the two tiny hands are holding it up for me). Mainly because I’m not 16 anymore, or whatever age it is that girls plaster posters of cute guys on the wall. I considered making out with it per the enabling friends … Continue reading →
Oh holy freaking momma was this episode of Miss Rose amazing! Yes, the OTP still hasn’t talked directly about their feelings for each other, but dang it everything else is barreling full speed ahead with the start of a conversation-laden episode. This was Cheng Kuan’s episode to shine, and my Roy Qiu shined brighter than the moon by owning every … Continue reading →
Awwwww, this picture is just ridiculously adorable. Poor Megan Lai is strung up like a Christmas turkey dangling from the roof, while Chao Chun Ya chats on the phone and enjoys the show, Roy Qiu points out the obvious but does nothing to help, and Puff gasps in shock at her handiwork. It was a quiet week in terms of … Continue reading →
I’ll strike while the Miss Rose iron is hot, dropping the preview for episode 11 following my recap for episode 10. I think between Si Yi and Cheng Kuan, it’s not a surprise that he’s going to be the one to take the first step. She’s not only once bitten twice shy when it comes to love, she’s also facing … Continue reading →
It’s so easy to step into a drama and tell the character how they ought to behave. Those who have been cheated on ought to stomp on the cheater when he returns and then turn around with a flip of the hair. Those in love with one person but committed to another should just end things and move on to … Continue reading →
Looks like a rather magical double date is coming up in Miss Rose. I hope this happens in episode 10 because I want to see it NOW. The foursome of Cheng Kuan and Si Yi plus Sheng Jun and Xiao Ke headed out to Ping Xi in the outskirts of Taipei to release Sky Lanterns, which are ancient lanterns originally … Continue reading →
I love how dramas have taken to reminding me that mid-Autumn is coming up, that and the abundance of moon cakes everywhere. September 30th is Zhong Qiu (otherwise known as Mid-Autumn Festival in Chinese speaking countries or Chuseok in Korea) which means families gathering together for meals and plenty of specials airing on TV. SETTV just released a sweet and … Continue reading →
I know it feels like Miss Rose has slowed down on all narrative fronts, but for whatever reason I am fine with the pacing. Perhaps the early charge out of the gate was the outlier, and really this story was all about the rather mundane and ordinary interactions between Si Yi and Cheng Kuan that drive their relationship forward. Outside … Continue reading →
Episode 9 of Miss Rose managed to throw me for a loop despite how predictable this drama has been since it started. I’ve been liking its predictability which has been delivered in ways that are amusing and interesting. But now I don’t quite know what to expect because the OTP is side-stepping some crucial decisions when really everyone ought to … Continue reading →
Awwww man, I love Miss Rose too much for my own good. At this point the drama is heading well into meaty emotional territory with a love triangle fraught with the leading lady having feelings for both guys, plus an extra wheel of a future fiancee lurking to the side. If this was a K-drama, we’d be having massive stare … Continue reading →
