I noticed recently that I’ve had quite a lot of change of hearts about certain TW- actors and actresses I wasn’t very keen on in the past, once I got past my initial apprehension about their acting and actually picked a good drama of theirs to watch. The list is pretty endless – Mike He in Sunny Happiness, Cheryl Yang … Continue reading →
So Ridiculously Cute! I think I about laughed myself to death with this first preview of Drunken to Love You. It looks beyond stupid, yet I’m charmed by its earnestly good-natured spirit. Rainie Yang looks to continue her wow-the-Koala-campaign and is just thumbing her nose at me for not liking her until recently. And Joseph Chang, who is not conventionally … Continue reading →
Sunny Happiness has only a few more weeks of competitionless airing on Sunday nights. Drunken to Love You has been given the firm start date of April 17, 2011, which means Channel X has only a few more episodes to continue to torment me with its completely insane plot and acting. The production held a press conference over the weekend … Continue reading →
I really don’t know what’s going on with Wu Zun and Fahrenheit (with conflicting reports left and right as to whether he’s left the group or not), but I do know for a fact that he’ll be back on the small screen on May 22, 2011 on CTV! His long-completed Sunshine Angel with Rainie Yang has snagged the coveted post-Sunny … Continue reading →
The upcoming Drunken to Love You, the highly anticipated TW-drama followup to the record breakingly popular Fated to Love You, just secured its air date, yet it’s barely begun filming. DTLY will premiere in April on SETTV, following the currently airing Channel X (please will some kind soul put my poor Joe Cheng and adorable Amber Kuo out of their misery). The … Continue reading →

To be frank, my personal opinion is that the number of good actresses in Taiwan is significantly lower than the number of good actors. But I’ve watched … Continue reading →
Yesterday I posted about upcoming TW-dramas that are either in production or just wrapped. Someone asked about Sunshine Angel, and I purposely didn’t include SA in my post since the drama finished filming last year and has been on the shelf for months. Luckily, GTV recently announced that SA was picked it up for its late Spring broadcast, so expect … Continue reading →
I’m currently binging on a Taiwan drama (will post about it in a bit), so thought I might bring some news about upcoming 2011 TW-dramas in the works. First up, Park Shin Hye just wrapped principal filming on Hayate the Combat Butler, co-starring George Hu, and the drama is slated for broadcast on GTV in the Spring. After four months in … Continue reading →
The 2010 Golden Bell Awards (Taiwan’s annual television award – think Emmys, the TV-section of the Baeksang, etc.) just concluded in Taipei. Most of the nominated dramas and actors were not from the idol-dramas, which are the dramas most online viewers and overseas fans are most familiar with.
