Apparently the last SETTV Sunday night drama Deja Vu ended this past weekend, and I say apparently because all I heard were viewers railing at the ending nonsense but I didn’t watch it myself. Or maybe folks are pissed at the process, or like me, pissed that this entire dreck of a drama even existed in the first place so … Continue reading →
Am I being too snarky if I say that Aaron Yan pairing up with Tia Li for the upcoming SETTV Sunday night idol drama Fall in Love with Me feels like Barbie meeting Ken? It can’t be denied that both are ridiculously pretty in a manga character way, and a wee bit plasticky onscreen when emoting is called for and … Continue reading →
Taiwan dramas hasn’t produced an onscreen drama couple quite as popular as Aaron Yan paired with Puff Guo in quite some time. The heydays of Joe Cheng–Ariel Lin or Rainie Yang–Mike He are long past, and occasionally there is a couple that takes their real life attraction and sells it in drama land like George Hu and Annie Chen. I … Continue reading →
I can’t imagine there is any TW-drama viewer out there thinking it’ll be a great idea for Aaron Yan to pair up with Tia Li for a drama. Well, let me step back and say that I don’t know how it’s possible to even think it’s a great idea for Tia Li to keep acting in dramas in the first … Continue reading →
What is that you said? I can’t hear you over the ear splitting screaming still coming out of my mouth for the last 24 hours, give or take a few. I thought I had long since stopped caring whether deserving actors win awards or getting pissed over undeserving actors snatching a statuette. It’s a popularity context and a crap shoot, … Continue reading →
Looks like there is trouble brewing in the never-confirmed romance between Roy Qiu and C-actress Tang Yan, and its in the form of the very similar in style Tia Li. I’ve long accepted that Roy has a type and its totally not the type I like for him but I’m cool with my guys dating as they like. Roy has … 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 →
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 →
SETTV really knows how to cross promote. On the upcoming New Year’s special cooking program, the leading ladies of Office Girls and its follow up drama Walking Forward Towards Love gathered together for a PK cooking battle. So cute. Alice Ke and Tia Li were on one team versus Tammy Chen and Amber Kuo. When asked who could actually cook, … Continue reading →
Dramas oftentimes are not received equally by the local viewing population and the overseas brethren. It’s easy for each side to deride the other for having bad taste, but it’s not really that easy to explain. It’s more like people have different tastes, and that’s a good thing. Last year’s K-drama ratings champion Baker King Kim Tak Gu barely made … Continue reading →
I won’t be around to check out episode 1 of the upcoming Office Girls with Roy Qiu, Alice Ke, James Wen, and Tia Li, which is the drama that will be taking over Drunken to Love You’s spot on Sundays on TTV. But I wouldn’t be posting about it if I didn’t really enjoy all the previews that I’ve seen. … Continue reading →
All good things must come to an end, and with that said, next week comes the grand finale of Drunken to Love You which means Office Girls (小資女孩向前衝) premieres in two weeks. This drama flew completely under my radar, mostly because the only actor in the cast I’m a fan of did all C-dramas for the last two years so I wasn’t … Continue reading →
