This is quite a treat for those TW-drama watchers who are hoping to see some big drama stars all gathered in one place. SETTV, still the leader this year in ratings among the five big channels (CTS, CTV, GTV, and FTV), held an end of the year party and award’s banquet for all the stars of its 2012 dramas. The … Continue reading →
Awwww, so much love. It was totally worth it for me spending so much time following Miss Rose despite all signs pointing to a drastic decline in quality right about now. This drama was always about spending time together and not in the few manufactured conflicts, except now it’s all about the manufactured conflicts and not enough time together. Puff … Continue reading →
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 →
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 →
Oh Hua Shi, you guys are just a bunch of asses. Just because you can’t win legitimately doesn’t mean you go crapping in TTV’s pond. CTS has been the bottom of the barrel on Sunday night ratings for quite some time, which totally is well deserved since its last three dramas were the painfully plodding Alice in Wonder City, the … Continue reading →
My Office Girls recapping project is one where I have promised to finish and I know the raw files for the last two episodes are still sitting there just reminding me of what a slacker I am. Even as I’m addicted to Miss Rose and have completely disassociated Roy Qiu as Gao Cheng Kuan from his character of Qin Zi … Continue reading →
The are two things I am absolutely certain about when I saw the pictures from Roy Qiu and Tang Yan‘s most recent ad campaign fan event held in touristy beach town San Ya, China – Roy needs to get some sleep and Tang Yan needs to eat about 3 sandwiches a meal for one month straight. Despite fanning the flames … Continue reading →
Wahhhh, supreme daebak! Episode 5 of Miss Rose easily jumped over a point in ratings and broke 4 to land on 4.35 for the night. This puts MR on track with Office Girls, and with the drama being much more romance focused and less office politics than OG, I think the Taiwan audience is fully onboard this train and can … Continue reading →
My beloved Miss Rose continues to rock and roll after four episodes aired, staying far ahead of the Sunday ratings pack (no other drama broke 1 in ratings while MR maintained a 3.22 for episode 4) that even if its ratings doesn’t continue an astronomical rise like its predecessor Office Girls did, it should still comfortably win its timeslot for … Continue reading →
It sounds like the magic of Miss Rose will soon be available to the non-native Chinese speakers who want to enjoy the cute quippiness of this drama. I’m so happy since so much of what makes this drama fun to watch is hearing Roy Qiu‘s unique cadence as he spit out his lines with this wry exasperation mixed with curiosity. … Continue reading →
It’s not often that a drama catches me off guard, since prior to airing I’ve read up on the characters and the story so I know what to expect. To say episode 2 of Miss Rose literally tossed me under a bus and then rolled over me a few more times for good measure would be an understatement. Once the … Continue reading →
Arriving on a cloud of candy colored cuteness, the upcoming TW-drama Miss Rose is gearing up for a Sunday premiere with a full on media push starting with the cast attending a blind date event for the fans. Erh, I’m assuming there is probably a gender imbalance since I doubt there are an equal amount of male fans of dramas, … Continue reading →
With Love Forward finally ending (the drama was mind numbingly boring for me), SETTV must be licking its chops waiting for Roy Qiu’s Miss Rose (螺絲小姐要出嫁) to quickly take its place. Premiering on July 22nd, the drama not only shares a male lead with last year’s ratings wunderkind Office Girls, but the title is purposely similar in cadence and concept. If … Continue reading →
