You know a drama has been filming for quite a long time if both leads manage to celebrate their birthday on the set. Office Girls has been filming for over half a year now, and first Roy Qiu celebrated turning 30, now he’s followed by his leading lady Alice Ke celebrating turning 27. I can’t image a better way to … Continue reading →
Not sure what to say about episode 21 of Office Girls, other than plot development-wise I’m not certain this drama can wrap up with two more episodes to go. Which is where I ought to tell you all that both PPTV and Baike have just revised OG as ending in 30 episodes, though there has been no official confirmation from … Continue reading →
I’m going to be so sad when Office Girls. This drama has been my steady companion for months now, always good for a laugh and some swooning once a week. It’ll likely end at episode 23, though TTV will preempt one episode this month since it’s Lunar New Year that week. Part of me thinks Kai Er has been wreaking … Continue reading →
Office Girls isn’t just content on coasting by with its top-ratings, which is surging close to breaking 6 again, its actually trying to end the drama with a bang instead of a whimper. Episode 20 was great, taking the angst and filtering it into pushing Zi Qi and Xing Ren’s relationship forward past even the landmines Kai Er is building. … Continue reading →
There was no preview for episode 20 at the end of last week’s episode 19 of Office Girls, which left me totally chafing at the bit. I take OG for granted, but the second something is gone, I feel bereft. Such is the strength of my affection for it. The previews are finally out, and it looks like a doozy. … Continue reading →
I’ve been stuffing myself full of food for the last few days but it’s been lean on my drama intake. Totally backlogged but will undoubtedly catch up in due course. Office Girls episode 19 continues the dichotomy of being completely boring in any scene not involving Xing Ren and Zi Qi, and then nailing it when the two of them … Continue reading →
While the rest of the Sunday night competition drama casts are off celebrating Christmas since their dramas wrapped awhile ago, the cast of Office Girls is working through Christmas Eve and continuing into Christmas day. As such, the production decided to do a white elephant gift exchange with the gift value limited at NT200 (equivalent to about $7). Everyone thinks … Continue reading →
I still lub Office Girls a ton. Even moreso now that I’m not recapping each episode in full. The joy is back in my watch because I can enjoy it the way it was meant to be watched, with not much analysis and plenty of good spirit. Maybe it’s the Christmas cheer starting to hit me full force, but I’m … Continue reading →
Some folks asked me nicely if I could do baby recaps for Office Girls, and I think I might do just that. I still love watching this drama even if there isn’t much meat to recap. Baby recaps ought to be the right compromise. Zi Qi and Xing Ren continue to express themselves more around each other, yet when it … Continue reading →
Going into this year end review, I wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic as I was last year. I can’t pinpoint why, other than perhaps I simply wrote so much I wore myself out. All my drama writing in the 365 days since the 2010 year end review did make my fingers consider going on strike. My brain wasn’t that far behind … Continue reading →
You guys must’ve noticed that this week’s Office Girl’s recap was nowhere to be seen. Truth be told I’ve been extremely busy, but I’ve also discovered my urge to recap OG has dissipated. I still love watching it, but so little is happening I simply have nothing to talk about. I don’t want any OG recapping duties to mar my … Continue reading →
I’m still loving Office Girls, a drama that meets my expectation every week for an hour’s worth of chuckles and smiles. What’s not to love about that? Though I do worry that I’m inching closer and closer to shipping Alice and Roy as a RL couple and that would not be good because I’ll like be disappointed as usual. But … Continue reading →
Absolutely nothing important happened in episode 16 of Office Girls, other than Mina and Lao Yu getting back together. The only reason that is even important is to wrap up the flimsy thread and hie those two off to Paris next week and off my screen. They are actually not annoying, but just pointless without any entertaining value. If we … Continue reading →
