Taiwan’s top television gala The Golden Bell Awards held it’s ceremony last Friday night in Taipei. I haven’t been following along since, for the most part, I didn’t watch most of the dramas or performances nominated. I didn’t really care who won, as long as the winner was deserving, but I remained casually rooting for Joseph Chang to win Best Actor and … 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 →
Next Magazine, you evil paparazzi trolls…..*goes to read*……*speechless*. More than six months after wrapping filming for Drunken to Love You (which finished airing two months ago), lead actors Joseph Chang and Rainie Yang have been busy with their many other projects. Rainie has been focusing on her music career with a hot album and concerts lined up, while Joseph has … Continue reading →
Of all the three leading men in the heated Sunday night competition in Taiwan dramas, it’s hands down Roy Qiu that’s getting the most career boost out of his role as bottom-dwelling chaebol heir Qin Zi Qi in Office Girls. Peter Ho is gasp-inducing and sublime in Ring Ring Bell and Bolin Chen is understated and a perfect foil to … Continue reading →
Vogue Magazine sponsors a Fashion Night Out (FNO) in all the countries where it has a local presence. Vogue Taiwan’s FNO is coming up this September 17, 2011, and the magazine has rounded up a slew of Taiwan stars as its fashion ambassadors, including among others, Rainie Yang, Ella, Joseph Chang, and Show Luo. FNO is a relatively new event … Continue reading →
It’s just incredible how everything Rainie Yang touches appears to be golden this year. Her album Longing For just dropped, along with the MV for the title single. I actually like this song better than the first single, the ballad “We Are All Fools”, because it’s uptempo and has a more upbeat message. The MV is drop-dead gorgeous (though it … Continue reading →
I love this song! I love Rainie Yang! I love Rainie with Joseph Chang, even if it’s all for promotional purposes! Okay, that felt good to get the fangirl enthusiasm out of me first. Pre-sales for Rainie’s new album Longing For (which is also the name of the second single off the album) have been scorching hot, as hot as … Continue reading →
It’s out! Channel V in Taiwan has the official premiere for Rainie Yang‘s first single “We Are All Fools” off her new album, which has been featured in almost every episode of Drunken to Love You since the drama’s premiere. The MV guest-stars Rainie’s DTLY co-star Joseph Chang, and I swear their chemistry fried the thermometer in my house when I … Continue reading →
If I say Rainie Yang is having the hottest year of her career, starting from when she was crowned the Best Actress winner at the Golden Bell Awards in October 2010, that would be an understatement. The girl is on fire, with her two dramas currently airing both winning the time slot in its respective market. Drunken to Love You … Continue reading →
There is a time and place for everything, and this adage is especially true of dramas. Even the best dramas can fail to connect with a viewer if watched at an inopportune time, when the mind or the heart isn’t in it for whatever reason. Hunan Television’s decision to air the long-completed Sunshine Angel starring Wu Zun and Rainie Yang … Continue reading →
The news broke last week that Sunshine Angel with Wu Zun and Rainie Yang would be airing in July, but I had no clue it would be airing starting July 6th. Which is next week! Boy those C-television stations move fast. Three more trailers have dropped, and I have officially verified in my mind that this is indeed a remake … Continue reading →
YES! Super duper yes! I don’t care of this drama sucks donkey, I simply want to watch it. The long-completed Sunshine Angel starring Wu Zun (in what is likely his last drama performance) and Rainie Yang (see her with her trademark long locks prior to cutting it for Drunken to Love You) is finally getting an airtime. It’s airing next … Continue reading →
At just 26 years old, it’s rather astounding to know that Rainie Yang has been in the industry toiling for 10 years already. Starting with being in a much-too-short-lived girl group and a very supporting turn in Meteor Garden, she’s come a long way to be crowning Taiwan’s reigning acting queen. I still contend Hi, My Sweetheart was a travesty … Continue reading →
