Yup, when you assemble it together like the Avengers its hard not to see the way wind trends are blowing for the second half of 2022. K-ent discussed that six big name female lead K-dramas scheduled for the second half of 2021 are all noona-dongsaeng romances or pairings, with an older woman and (much) younger man. We have Song Hye … Continue reading →

I’m not gonna lie or ignore the fact that the last few episodes of TW-drama Someone Like You has basically devolved into a narrative farce. There is heart failure, car accidents, and even multiple comas. But the strange thing is that my affection for this little drama that could remains intact, it’s so earnest and sweet, wanting to keep chugging … Continue reading →

I don’t think this news is purely publicity generating for the currently airing TW-drama Someone Like You, the drama has a few more episodes left in its run and has been doing swell enough in ratings. With that said, take this with a grain of salt but feel free to squee about it anyway. TW-media is reporting that insiders on … Continue reading →

Just because I like an actor and actress individually never guarantees they would make a stellar onscreen coupling. Even if they do generate chemistry onscreen, it can be wasted in a terrible story and lead to even more teeth gnashing for me than if they just failed to ignite on contact. That’s why I always remember to say a word … Continue reading →

Watching episode 15 of Someone Like You totally makes me hum the chorus from Walk the Moon’s current hit song “Shut Up and Dance”, except I keep chanting shut up and kiss instead LOL. A big shout out thank you to SETTV and drama leads Kingone Wang and Kristen Jen for writing this particular OTP scene and then executing it … Continue reading →

TW-drama Someone Like You Delivers Satisfying Romance in Spades

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2015 by ockoalaApril 18, 2015
Couple kissing under the rain.

Sunday night SETTV drama Someone Like You continues to thrum along nicely, an uncomplicated and sweet little drama featuring two of the most likable leadsĀ in a long while. This drama romance also took a long time to get going, with leads Zhan Cheng and Yu Xi finally getting together for the last two episodes. It’s been sweet but I want … Continue reading →

Spop Magazine Features Someone Like You Pretty Leads Kingone Wang and Kristen Jen

I’m still happily watching TW-drama Someone Like You (Chinese title Hearing Happiness). It’s the SETTV Sunday night tent pole drama but feels like the network’s stepchild with how the daily drama Dear Mom and the Friday night new arrival Murphy’s Law of Love are both getting so much more publicity blasts. SLY isn’t a drama that is terribly memorable after … Continue reading →

Someone Like You Subverts the Fanservice Shower Scene by Taking it All the Hilarious Way

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 15, 2015 by ockoalaApril 18, 2015

Goodies have to be shared to taste even yummier and this week’s best treat has got to be the first three minutes of this week’s episode 6 from Sunday night SETTV idol drama Someone Like You (Hearing Happiness). The drama is doing solidly in the ratings with a devoted fanbase, and oddly I’m probably less addicted than I ought to … Continue reading →

Sweet and Silly Someone Like You Makes the Blind Male Lead Do All the Heavy Lifting

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 7, 2015 by ockoalaFebruary 16, 2015

I’ve been watching the latest SETTV drama Someone Like You since it aired but have found nothing to write about til now. It’s not as terrible as Fall in Love with MeĀ but that’s not saying much. SLY is mostly a dense collection of character and narrative tropes that soaks the entire dish in a layer of cheese and whether you … Continue reading →

Someone Like You Releases First Previews and Holds Pop-up Exhibit in Taipei

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 30, 2014

If I didn’t know how smoldering Kingone Wang could be onscreen opposite his leading ladies in any drama, I would be freaking out right now based on how terribly awkward he is doing the promo rounds with Kirsten Jen for upcoming SETTV Sunday night drama Someone Like You (Chinese title Hearing Happiness). He looks alternately confused and sullen, even when … Continue reading →

I love how SETTVĀ appears willing to make the effort with upcoming Sunday night drama Someone Like You. The concept promos already look classy with every pretty penny seen in a bevy of couple stills featuring leads Kingone Wang and Kirsten Jen. It’s been a long time since a drama captured my attention and interest this completely from the first still … Continue reading →

Whatever the production of the upcoming SETTV Sunday night drama Someone Like You (Chinese title Hearing Happiness) has in store, I’m slurping up every new morsel and clamoring for more. I am insanely madly in love with the concept couple stills featuring leads Kingone Wang and Kirsten Jen that was filmed last week on Yangming Mountain in the outskirts of … Continue reading →
